2020-10-14perf tools: Add support for exclusive groups/eventsAndi Kleen1-0/+1
Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could avoid some problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive is implemented in the kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without custom low level API users. Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the existing pinned attribute. Committer testing: # perf test "parse event" 6: Parse event definition strings : Ok # perf test -v "parse event" |& grep :u*e running test 56 'instructions:uep' running test 57 '{cycles,cache-misses,branch-misses}:e' # # # grep "model name" -m1 /proc/cpuinfo model name : AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor # # perf stat -a -e '{cycles,cache-misses,branch-misses}:e' sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': <not counted> cycles (0.00%) <not counted> cache-misses (0.00%) <not counted> branch-misses (0.00%) 1.001269893 seconds time elapsed Some events weren't counted.

2020-10-13perf inject: Add --buildid-all optionNamhyung Kim1-1/+5
Like 'perf record', we can even more speedup build-id processing by just using all DSOs. Then we don't need to look at all the sample events anymore. The following patch will update 'perf bench' to show the result of the --buildid-all option too.

2020-09-28perf stat: Add --for-each-cgroup optionNamhyung Kim1-0/+5
The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup. This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup on user's behalf. For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G) on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6 events and 200 cgroups with a new option. A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A' and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below. $ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 988.18 msec cpu-clock A # 0.987 CPUs utilized 3,153,761,702 cycles A # 3.200 GHz (100.00%) 8,067,769,847 instructions A # 2.57 insn per cycle (100.00%) 982.71 msec cpu-clock B # 0.982 CPUs utilized 3,136,093,298 cycles B # 3.182 GHz (99.99%) 8,109,619,327 instructions B # 2.58 insn per cycle (99.99%) 1.001228054 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> Cc: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: Ian Rogers <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

2020-09-17perf stat: Support new per thread TopDown metricsAndi Kleen1-2/+5
Icelake has support for reporting per thread TopDown metrics. These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support, each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots". We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore. Teach perf stat --topdown to handle these new metrics and print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics. The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is gone.

There's a risk that outputting interval mode summaries by default breaks CSV consumers. It already broke pmu-tools/toplev. So now we turn off the summary by default but we create a new option '--summary' to enable the summary. This is active even when not using CSV mode.

2020-08-14perf ftrace: Select function/function_graph tracer automaticallyChangbin Du2-21/+25
The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option '--tracer' in this case. This patch changes the behavior as below: - If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used. - If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used. - The function_graph has priority over function tracer. - The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N is specified. Here are some examples. This will start tracing all functions using default tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace This will trace all functions using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G '*' This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read Committer notes: Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify the above examples: # perf ftrace -h -G -G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -g -g, --nograph-funcs <func> Set nograph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -T -T, --trace-funcs <func> trace given functions only # perf ftrace -h -N -N, --notrace-funcs <func> do not trace given functions # Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <[email protected]> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

2020-08-06perf intel-pt: Add support for decoding FUP/TIP onlyAdrian Hunter1-0/+31
Use the new itrace 'q' option to add support for a mode of decoding that ignores TNT, does not walk object code, but gets the ip from FUP and TIP packets. Example: $ perf record -e intel_pt//u grep -rI pudding drivers [ perf record: Woken up 52 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 57.870 MB perf.data ] $ time perf script --itrace=bi | wc -l 58948289 real 1m23.863s user 1m23.251s sys 0m7.452s $ time perf script --itrace=biq | wc -l 3385694 real 0m4.453s user 0m4.455s sys 0m0.328s Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
2020-08-06perf auxtrace: Add itrace 'q' option for quicker, less detailed decodingAdrian Hunter1-0/+3
The 'q' option is for modes of decoding that are quicker because they skip or omit decoding some aspects of trace data. If supported, the 'q' option may be repeated to increase the effect.

2020-07-28perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmarkDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+11
The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ Committer notes: Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and getppid().

2020-05-29perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4Stephane Eranian3-0/+32
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.
