2014-11-19perf tools: Only override the default :tid comm entryAdrian Hunter1-3/+2
Events may still be ordered even if there are no timestamps e.g. if the data is recorded per-thread. Also synthesized COMM events have a timestamp of zero. Consequently it is better to keep comm entries even if they have a timestamp of zero. However, when a struct thread is created the command string is not known and a comm entry with a string of the form ":<tid>" is used. In that case thread->comm_set is false and the comm entry should be overridden.

2014-11-19perf evlist: Do not poll events that use the system_wide flagAdrian Hunter1-1/+9
The system_wide flag causes a selected event to be opened always without a pid. Consequently it will never get a POLLHUP, but it is used for tracking in combination with other events, so it should not need to be polled anyway. Therefore don't add it for polling.

2014-11-19perf annotate: Support source line numbers in annotateAndi Kleen3-6/+38
With srcline key/sort'ing it's useful to have line numbers in the annotate window. This patch implements this. Use objdump -l to request the line numbers and save them in the line structure. Then the browser displays them for source lines. The line numbers are not displayed by default, but can be toggled on with 'k' There is one unfortunate problem with this setup. For lines not containing source and which are outside functions objdump -l reports line numbers off by a few: it always reports the first line number in the next function even for lines that are outside the function. I haven't found a nice way to detect/correct this. Probably objdump has to be fixed. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16433 The line numbers are still useful even with these problems, as most are correct and the ones which are not are nearby. v2: Fix help text. Handle (discriminator...) output in objdump. Left align the line numbers.

2014-11-19perf symbols: Fallback to kallsyms when using the minimal 'ELF' loaderArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+0
The minimal ELF loader should not return 1 when it manages to read the vmlinux build-id, it should instead return 0, meaning that it hasn't loaded any symbols, since it doesn't parses ELF at all. That way, the main symbol.c routines will understand that it is necessary to continue looking for a file with symbols, and when no libelf is linked, that means it will eventually try kallsyms.

2014-11-05perf tools: Fix build-id matching on vmlinuxNamhyung Kim2-3/+15
There's a problem on finding correct kernel symbols when perf report runs on a different kernel. Although a part of the problem was solved by the prior commit 0a7e6d1b6844 ("perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux"), there's a remaining problem still. When perf records samples, it synthesizes the kernel map using machine__mmap_name() and ref_reloc_sym like "[kernel.kallsyms]_text". You can easily see it using 'perf report -D' command. After finishing record, it goes through the recorded events to find maps/dsos actually used. And then record build-id info of them. During this process, it needs to load symbols in a dso and it'd call dso__load_vmlinux_path() since the default value of the symbol_conf. try_vmlinux_path is true. However it changes dso->long_name to a real path of the vmlinux file (e.g. /lib/modules/3.16.4/build/vmlinux) if one is running on a custom kernel. It resulted in that perf report reads the build-id of the vmlinux, but cannot use it since it only knows about the [kernel.kallsyms] map. It then falls back to possible vmlinux paths by using the recorded kernel version (in case of a recent version) or a running kernel silently. Even with the recent tools, this still has a possibility of breaking the result. As the build directory is a symbolic link, if one built a new kernel in the same directory with different source/config, the old link to vmlinux will point the new file. So it's absolutely needed to use build-id when finding a kernel image. In this patch, it's now changed to try to search a kernel dso in the existing dso list which was constructed during build-id table parsing so it'll always have a build-id. If not found, search "[kernel.kallsyms]".

2014-11-05perf record: Do not save pathname in ./debug/.build-id directory for vmlinuxNamhyung Kim3-5/+18
When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples. During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name. But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the ~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users. This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name, not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

2014-11-03perf tools: Enhance the thread stack to output call/return dataAdrian Hunter2-5/+659
Enhance the thread stack to output detailed information about paired calls and returns. The enhanced processing consumes sample information via thread_stack__process() and outputs information about paired calls / returns via a call-back. While the call-back makes it possible for the facility to be used by arbitrary tools, a subsequent patch will provide the information to Python scripting via the db-export interface. An important part of the call/return information is the call path which provides a structure that defines a context sensitive call graph. Note that there are now two ways to use the thread stack. For simply providing a call stack (like you would get from the perf record -g option) the interface consists of thread_stack__event() and thread_stack__sample(). Whereas the enhanced interface consists of call_return_processor__new() and thread_stack__process().

2014-10-29perf tools: Add id indexAdrian Hunter8-4/+177
Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT. The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open(). Events can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel() The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to the mmap from which it was read. The reason that is useful is because the mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread). Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis. In full-trace mode, that information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in that case that the "id index" is needed. So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(). That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index". idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels). The information can be retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid(). Note however this all depends on having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, otherwise ids are not recorded. The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index().
