2014-07-24perf powerpc: Include util/util.h and remove stringify macrosSukadev Bhattiprolu1-3/+1
The stringify macros are defined in tools/perf/util/util.h and don't need to be redfined specfiically for powerpc.

2014-06-27perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug infoSukadev Bhattiprolu2-0/+267
When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine when the entries are needed. Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored. If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs in the call-graphs. Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries should be ignored when building call-graphs. Callgraph before the patch: 14.67% 2234 sprintft libc-2.18.so [.] __random | --- __random | |--61.12%-- __random | | | |--97.15%-- rand | | do_my_sprintf | | main | | generic_start_main.isra.0 | | __libc_start_main | | 0x0 | | | --2.85%-- do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --38.88%-- rand | |--94.01%-- rand | do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --5.99%-- do_my_sprintf main generic_start_main.isra.0 __libc_start_main 0x0 Callgraph after the patch: 14.67% 2234 sprintft libc-2.18.so [.] __random | --- __random | |--95.93%-- rand | do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --4.07%-- do_my_sprintf main generic_start_main.isra.0 __libc_start_main 0x0 TODO: For split-debug info objects like glibc, we can only determine the call-frame-address only when both .eh_frame and .debug_info sections are available. We should be able to determin the CFA even without the .eh_frame section. Fix suggested by Anton Blanchard. Thanks to valuable input on DWARF debug information from Ulrich Weigand.

2013-03-15perf tools: Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absenceCody P Schafer1-4/+1
Including libio.h causes build failures on uClibc systems (which lack libio.h). It appears that libio.h was only included to pull in a definition for NULL, so it has been replaced by stddef.h. On powerpc, libio.h was conditionally included, but could be removed completely as it is unneeded. Also, the included of stdlib.h was changed to stddef.h (as again, only NULL is needed).

2012-03-14perf tools: Use scnprintf where applicableArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space. Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from the kernel sources. Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not accounted were fixed too.

libio.h is not provided by uClibc, in order to be able to test the definition of __UCLIBC__ we need to include stdlib.h, which also includes stddef.h, providing the definition of 'NULL'. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>
2011-10-07perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)Stephane Eranian2-0/+37
The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...

2010-04-22perf probe: Add PowerPC DWARF register number mappingsIan Munsie2-0/+92
This adds mappings from the register numbers from DWARF to the register names used in the PowerPC Regs and Stack Access API. This allows perf probe to be used to record variable contents on PowerPC. This requires the functionality represented by the config symbol HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API in order to function, although it will compile without it. That functionality is added for PowerPC in commit 359e4284 ("powerpc: Add kprobe-based event tracer").
