* perf tools: Move the build-id storage operations to headersFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-113-34/+41

* perf tools: Synthetize the targeted processFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-111-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't forget to also synthetize the targeted process from perf record or we'll miss its dso in the events and then we won't be able to deal with its build-id. We are missing it because it is created after the existing synthetized tasks but before the counters are enabled and can send its mapping event.

* perf symbols: Use the buildids if presentArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-11-088-30/+179
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids, stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new feature bit in the header bitmask. 'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the 'dsos' list and set the build ids. When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that doesn't have the same build id. This improves the reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling data is more guaranteed to match. Example: [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols # Samples: 2621434559 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ............................. ...... # 7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9 [root@doppio ~]# In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished, so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly different (and misleading) output. Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build id notes for it and the modules from /sys. Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command: 'perf list-buildids' that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine and 'perf report' in another. Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older kernels.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The present use of -Wcast-align causes the build to blow up on SH due to generating a "cast increases required alignment of target type" error on each invocation of list_for_each_entry(). It seems that this was previously reported and killed off in the ia64 support patch, but nothing seems to have happened with that. Presumably the same problem still remains there, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrapping the kernel headers is dangerous when it comes to arch headers. Once we wrap asm/types.h, it will also replace the glibc asm/types.h, not only the kernel one. This results in build errors on some machines. Drop this wrapper and do its work from linux/types.h wrapper, also the glibc asm/types.h can already handle most of the type definition it was doing (typedef __u64, __u32, etc...). Todo: Check the others asm/*.h wrappers to prevent from other conflicts.

So depending on the current sort dimension configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case, except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm, because these are right aligned. This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol). Before: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent After: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but: - If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it with a first ascii hook.

It is never printed. Say we have: symbol f1 f2 | -------- f3 | f4 | ---------f5 f6 Actually we never see that, instead it displays: symbol | --------- f3 | f4 | --------- f5 f6 However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks redundant here. But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm, etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with its callchain: comm dso symbol f1 f2 | --------- [...] And we want the callchain to be obvious. So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

* | perf tools: Use strsep() over strtok_r() for parsing single lineSteven Rostedt2009-10-211-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used generically and can have different implementations. Currently the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have unpredictable results. The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined result. I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.

This is a natural followup patch to the one that uses output_hists to find the symbols with hits. The common case is to annotate the first few entries at the top of a perf report, so lets type less characters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need this because we get section relative addresses when reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need the address + section back again. So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances (that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to match with annotate. Verified that at least: perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

This brings a backward and forward compatibility. The trace_info section has moved into such optional features, this is the first and only one for now.

* | perf tools: Move dereference after NULL testJulia Lawall2009-10-174-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In each case, if the NULL test on thread is needed, then the dereference should be after the NULL test. A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; @@ * x->fld ... when != \(x = E\|&x\) * x == NULL // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> LKML-Reference: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0910170842500.9213@ask.diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
