* perf machine: Add symbol filter to struct machineAdrian Hunter2013-08-122-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The symbol filter needs to be applied machine-wide, so add it to struct machine. Currently tools pass the symbol filter as a parameter to various map-related functions. However a need to load a map can occur anywhere in the code, at which point the filter is needed.

* perf machine: Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guestJason Wessel2013-08-071-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some types of work loads and special guest environments, you might have a kernel that has no kernel modules. The perf kvm record tool fails instantiate vmlinux maps when the kernel modules directory cannot be opened, even though the kallsyms has been properly processed. This leads to a perf kvm report that has no guest symbols resolved. This patch changes the failure to locate kernel modules to be non-fatal.

* perf tools: Add support for pinned modifierMichael Ellerman2013-08-073-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU. The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in future to mean "fully precise". So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you. This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for instructions per cycle. Comparison of results with and without pinning: $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,... 79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz 166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn 79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%] 165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%] As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy. The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a group.

* perf kvm: Add live modeDavid Ahern2013-08-071-26/+633
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf kvm stat currently requires back to back record and report commands to see stats. e.g,. perf kvm stat record -p $pid -- sleep 1 perf kvm stat report This is inconvenvient for on box monitoring of a VM. This patch introduces a 'live' mode that in effect combines the record plus report into one command. e.g., to monitor a single VM: perf kvm stat live -p $pid or all VMs: perf kvm stat live Same stats options for the record+report path work with the live mode. Display rate defaults to 1 second and can be changed using the -d option. v4: - address comments from Xiao -- verify_vcpu check should not look at processors on line for the host, prune configurable options. - set attr->{mmap,comm,task} to 0 - don't need task events so trim events we have to deal with - better control of time for queue event flushing to reduce frequency of "Timestamp below last timeslice flush" failures. v3: updated to use existing tracepoint parsing code v2: removed ABSTIME arg from timerfd_settime as mentioned by Namhyung only call perf_kvm__handle_stdin when poll returns activity.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read object code from kernel modules. That is because the mappings do not map to the dsos. This patch fixes that. This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL) files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating map__rip_2objdump() accordingly. The kmodule parameter of dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to the dso.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read object code from vmlinux. That is because the mappings do not map to the dso. This patch fixes that. A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must be taken into account. As a result of that separate map functions for relocation are no longer needed. Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and so is not done. The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().

* perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay optionAndi Kleen2013-08-072-1/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors. Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all groups, may see a significant error. Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it is so different from the rest. One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not necessarily the same as a useful startup delay. This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms Here's a simple example: perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 3,721 page-faults ... If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less: perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 2,823 page-faults ... So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period value offered by lower layers. There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...
