* perf/live: don't synthesize build ids at the end of a live mode traceTom Zanussi2010-05-023-70/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the trace rather than at the end. Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a future patch.

* perf tools: Don't use code surrounded by __KERNEL__Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-027-47/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

* perf test: Initial regression testing commandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-04-296-0/+307

If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings for non-fatal problems: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: --- start --- Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long) No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols Maps only in vmlinux: ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms: ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as: *ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8 Maps only in kallsyms: ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4 ---- end ---- vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in vmlinux. The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in the vmlinux case. The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't considers this fatal. The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left these cases just as extra info in verbose mode. The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches. But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected. This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it together with comments about what is being done. More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc, makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

* | perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layerFrederic Weisbecker2010-04-243-176/+210
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are involved. There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that: - use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem) But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on record time. - use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock) The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use (unusable with perf lock for example). Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the previous one most of the time). This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to get ordered sample events, it needs to set its struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it. This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own reordering. Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

* | perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequenceHitoshi Mitake2010-04-241-68/+342
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken. This patch improves it a little. This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents lock sequences for each threads. These state machines can be one of these sequences: 1) acquire -> acquired -> release 2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release 3) acquire (w/ try) -> release 4) acquire (w/ read) -> release The case of 4) is a little special. Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release. But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong. I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence, and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279 version 2: * threads are now identified with tid, not pid * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock. * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday) e.g. | === output for debug=== | | bad:233, total:2279 | bad rate:0.000000 | histogram of events caused bad sequence | acquire: 165 | acquired: 0 | contended: 0 | release: 68 Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> LKML-Reference: <1271852634-9351-1-git-send-email-mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> [rename SEQ_STATE_UNINITED to SEQ_STATE_UNINITIALIZED] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

This changes line_range.start/end and line_list.line to signed int and adds overflow checks when setting line_finder.lno_s/e.

This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the same command as above can be accomplished more simply as: $ perf trace rwtop 5 Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case - they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are passed along to the report script (but not to the record script). The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to 'perf trace'.

After the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared and the cycle begins anew. To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report' step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i: $ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i - Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the screen.
