2009-10-12perf tools: Fix const char type propagationRandy Dunlap1-4/+4
The following perf build warnings/errors in function argument types: builtin-sched.c:1894: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sort_dimension__add' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:685: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:741: warning: passing argument 4 of 'test_type_token' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:706: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected_item' discards qualifiers from pointer target type ... trigger because older GCC is not able to prove that sort_dimension__add() does not change the string.

2009-10-08perf tools: Provide backward compatibility with previous perf.data versionFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+7
We have merged the trace.info file into perf.data by adding one section in the perf headers. This makes it incompatible with previous version: the new perf tools can't read the older perf.data. To support the previous format, we check the headers size. If they have the same size than in the previous format, then ignore the trace info section that doesn't exist.

2009-10-08perf tools: Fix thread comm resolution in perf schedFrederic Weisbecker2-28/+7
This reverts commit 9a92b479b2f088ee2d3194243f4c8e59b1b8c9c2 ("perf tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched") and fixes the real bug. The bug was elsewhere: We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the table of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per process granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools, needs a per thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks individually. So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of the pid as the thread identifier. v2: Revert the previous fix - it is not really needed Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Mike Galbraith <[email protected]> Cc: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> LKML-Reference: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
2009-10-08perf tools: Improve kernel/modules symbol lookupArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-87/+201
This removes the ovelapping of vmlinux addresses with modules, using the ELF section name when using --vmlinux and creating a unique DSO name when using /proc/kallsyms ([kernel].N). This is done by creating multiple 'struct map' instances for address ranges backed by DSOs that have just the symbols for that range and a name that is derived from the ELF section name.o Now it is possible to ask for just the symbols in some particular kernel section: $ perf report -m --vmlinux ../build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux \ --dsos [kernel].vsyscall_fn | head -15 52.73% Xorg [.] vread_hpet 18.61% firefox [.] vread_hpet 14.50% npviewer.bin [.] vread_hpet 6.83% compiz [.] vread_hpet 5.73% glxgears [.] vread_hpet 0.63% java [.] vread_hpet 0.30% gnome-terminal [.] vread_hpet 0.23% perf [.] vread_hpet 0.18% xchat [.] vread_hpet $ Now we don't have to first lookup the list of modules and then, if it fails, vmlinux symbols, its just a simple lookup for the map then the symbols, just like for threads. Reports generated using /proc/kallsyms and --vmlinux should provide the same results, modulo the DSO name for sections other than ".text". But they don't right now because things like: ffffffff81011c20-ffffffff81012068 system_call ffffffff81011c30-ffffffff81011c9b system_call_after_swapgs ffffffff81011c9c-ffffffff81011cb6 system_call_fastpath ffffffff81011cb7-ffffffff81011cbb ret_from_sys_call I.e. overlapping symbols, again some ASM special case that we have to fixup.

2009-10-08perf tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf schedFrederic Weisbecker2-7/+28
When we get sched traces that involve a task that was already created before opening the event, we won't have the comm event for it. So if we can't find the comm event for a given thread, we look at the traces that may contain these informations.

2009-10-07perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.dataFrederic Weisbecker5-12/+51
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the common perf.data file. This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file. A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous version because the size of the headers have increased. That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a -stable fix for that. But current previous versions handle the header size using its static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with trace records.

2009-10-02perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modulesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo9-792/+362
Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc, using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded. DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used. As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just like we can do with shared libraries: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15 84.58% 13266 Xorg [k] drm_clflush_pages 4.02% 630 Xorg [k] trace_kmalloc.clone.0 3.95% 619 Xorg [k] drm_ioctl 2.07% 324 Xorg [k] drm_addbufs 1.68% 263 Xorg [k] drm_gem_close_ioctl 0.77% 120 Xorg [k] drm_setmaster_ioctl 0.70% 110 Xorg [k] drm_lastclose 0.68% 106 Xorg [k] drm_open 0.54% 85 Xorg [k] drm_mm_search_free [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left for another patch. Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow removing the module name from each of its symbols. struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top, that is its only user right now.

2009-10-01perf timechart: Add a power-only modeArjan van de Ven1-1/+13
For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting. This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces viewable with inkscape. As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar7-31/+31
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <[email protected]> Cc: Mike Galbraith <[email protected]> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]> Cc: David Howells <[email protected]> Cc: Kyle McMartin <[email protected]> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-20perf util: Make the timechart SVG width dynamicArjan van de Ven2-12/+24
This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the user to specify the width of the SVG file. This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording (as before).
