| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When profiling C++ workloads the symbol name length can be really big, so cap it before it garbles the result. This builds upon the autosizing already present where we choose to use the short, basename of DSOs instead of its long, full pathname.

| * perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugsPaul Mackerras2010-03-116-13/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1. This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only even-numbered cpus online. This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map() function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[]. The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_ conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to deal with time ordered events to build a correct state machine of lock events. This is why we multiplex the lock events buffers. But the ordering is done from the kernel, on the tracing fast path, leading to high contention between cpus. Without multiplexing, the events appears in a weak order. If we have four events, each split per cpu, perf record will read the events buffers in the following order: [ CPU0 ev0, CPU0 ev1, CPU0 ev3, CPU0 ev4, CPU1 ev0, CPU1 ev0....] To handle a post processing reordering, we could just read and sort the whole in memory, but it just doesn't scale with high amounts of events: lock events can fill huge amounts in few times. Basically we need to sort in memory and find a "grace period" point when we know that a given slice of previously sorted events can be committed for post-processing, so that we can unload the memory usage step by step and keep a scalable sorting list. There is no strong rules about how to define such "grace period". What does this patch is: We define a FLUSH_PERIOD value that defines a grace period in seconds. We want to have a slice of events covering 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD in our sorted list. If FLUSH_PERIOD is big enough, it ensures every events that occured in the first half of the timeslice have all been buffered and there are none remaining and there won't be further to put inside this first timeslice. Then once we reach the 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD timeslice, we flush the first half to be gentle with the memory (the second half can still get new events in the middle, so wait another period to flush it) FLUSH_PERIOD is defined to 5 seconds. Say the first event started on time t0. We can safely assume that at the time we are processing events of t0 + 10 seconds, ther won't be anymore events to read from perf.data that occured between t0 and t0 + 5 seconds. Hence we can safely flush the first half. To point out funky bugs, we have a guardian that checks a new event timestamp is not below the last event's timestamp flushed and that displays a warning in this case.

| * | perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally thingsHitoshi Mitake2010-02-272-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt, so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'. Fixing command-list.txt requires document (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt). But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now. And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

| * | | | perf probe: Add lazy line matching supportMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-257-99/+298

This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions. 1) Define event based on function name [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...] 2) Define event based on source file with line number [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...] 3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...] - New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it must be put the end of the definition. - So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end of the definition. Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it. (anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too, because it may contains other sensitive characters, like '[',']' etc.). Lazy matching ------------- The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target. e.g. 'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on. This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to probe point definitions against minor code changes. (for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.) Changes in v3: - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats. Changes in v2: - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the PID will be the same. One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache. We can't use PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec(). Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a good enough approximation.
