* perf symbols: Cache /proc/kallsyms files by build-idArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-165-20/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | So that when we don't have a vmlinux handy we can store the kallsyms for later use by 'perf report'.

* perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.dataArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-139-48/+212
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules, even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at all, right Peter? ;-) Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we did in the past (and now only in perf record). One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

Without this patch, perf-tools supports 'GROUP:*:record' syntax for selecting all tracepoints under GROUP group.

* perf tools: Handle relocatable kernelsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-136-5/+133
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on monitored threads. To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having 'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded like this: [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ] [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10 0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........ . 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........ [kernel . 0030: 6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00 kallsyms._text] . 0xd0 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text] I.e. we identify such event as having: .pid = 0 .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME] .start = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME. Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as the relocation to apply. This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

So only do the sort by hits followed by a resort by --sort if we need to find the position for shwowing the --displacement of hist entries. Now all these modes work correctly: Example is a simple 'perf record -f find / > /dev/null' ran twice then followed by the following commands: $ perf diff -f --sort comm # Baseline Delta Command # ........ .......... ....... # 0.00% +100.00% find $ perf diff -f --sort dso # Baseline Delta Shared Object # ........ .......... .................. # 59.97% -0.44% [kernel] 21.17% +0.28% libc-2.5.so 18.49% +0.16% [ext3] 0.37% find $ perf diff -f --sort symbol | head -8 # Baseline Delta Symbol # ........ .......... ...... # 6.21% +0.36% [k] ext3fs_dirhash 3.43% +0.41% [.] __GI_strlen 3.53% +0.16% [k] __kmalloc 3.17% +0.49% [k] system_call 3.06% +0.37% [k] ext3_htree_store_dirent $ perf diff -f --sort dso,symbol | head -8 # Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... .................. ...... # 6.21% +0.36% [ext3] [k] ext3fs_dirhash 3.43% +0.41% libc-2.5.so [.] __GI_strlen 3.53% +0.16% [kernel] [k] __kmalloc 3.17% +0.49% [kernel] [k] system_call 3.06% +0.37% [ext3] [k] ext3_htree_store_dirent $ And we don't have to do two expensive resorts in the common, non --displacement case.

* | perf record: Introduce a symtab cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-12-286-9/+165
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by their build-ids, so that perf report can find them. This is interesting when developing software where you want to do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that takes more than two binaries into account. Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full binary there. Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a 'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is required to purge older entries. With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of interest. There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is really something tools need to do before asking for the events to be processed, leaving perf_session__process_events to do just that, process events. Also add a msg parameter to perf_session__has_traces() so that the right message can be printed, fixing a regression added by me in the previous cset (right timechart message) and also fixing 'perf kmem', that was not asking if 'perf kmem record' was ran.
