2021-06-24perf top: Add cgroup support for perf top (-G)Joshua Martinez1-0/+12
Added callback option (-G) to support cgroups for 'perf top'. Added condition to make sure -cgroup and --all-cgroups aren't both enabled.

2020-05-29perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4Stephane Eranian1-0/+11
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.

2020-04-18perf top: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approachKan Liang1-0/+9
With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples with stitched LBRs are huge. Add an option to enable the approach. The option must be used with --call-graph lbr.

2020-04-03perf top: Support --group-sort-idx to change the sort orderJin Yao1-0/+5
'perf report' supports the option --group-sort-idx, which sorts the output by the event at the index n in event group. For example: perf record -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses perf report --group --group-sort-idx 2 --stdio The perf-report output is sorted by cache-misses.

2019-08-15perf top: Add --switch-on/--switch-off eventsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+38
Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some workload. The man page has some examples and considerations about its current interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way, behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.: - In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the histograms browser - In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column per event. Try for instance: # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using: # perf probe icmp_rcv:59 To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

2018-10-31perf top: Do not use overwrite mode by defaultArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+8
Enabling --overwrite mode allows us to to use just the most recent records, which helps in high core count machines such as Knights Landing/Mill, but right now is being disabled by default as the pausing used in this technique is leading to loss of metadata events such as PERF_RECORD_MMAP which makes 'perf top' unable to resolve samples, leading to lots of unknown samples appearing on the UI. Enabling this may be useful if you are in such machines and profiling a workload that doesn't creates short lived threads and/or doesn't uses many executable mmap operations. Work is being planed to solve this situation, till then, this will remain disabled by default.

2018-10-30perf top: Allow disabling the overwrite modeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+5
In ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode") we forgot to leave a way to disable that new default, add a --overwrite option that can be disabled using --no-overwrite, since the code already in such a way that we can readily disable this mode. This is useful when investigating bugs with this mode like the recent report from David Miller where lots of unknown symbols appear due to disabling the events while processing them which disables all record types, not just PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, which makes it impossible to resolve maps when we lose PERF_RECORD_MMAP records. This can be easily seen while building a kernel, when there are lots of short lived processes.

Besides that, each dynamic sort key now can receive a 'raw' suffix separated by '/' to ask for the raw trace of a specific field. $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... ................... # 99.89% perf GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO 0.06% sleep GFP_KERNEL 0.03% perf GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO 0.01% perf GFP_KERNEL Now $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags --raw-trace or $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags/raw ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... .......... # 99.89% perf 32848 0.06% sleep 208 0.03% perf 32976 0.01% perf 208 Suggested-and-Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1450804030-29193-9-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'. But 'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'. To do that, change parse_callchain_report_opt() to allow record options too. Now perf top can receive display options like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [<options>] --call-graph <mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]> setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording: fp dwarf lbr, output_type (graph, flat, fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional print limit, callchain order, key (function or address), add branches $ perf top --call-graph callee,graph,fp Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445495330-25416-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation is dominated by the different callchains within that function. By ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls. For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are scattered across the tree: $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark --- gc_mark |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue | st_foreach | gc_mark_children | |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark | | rb_vm_mark | | gc_mark_children | | gc_marks | | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced: $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect --- garbage_collect vm_xmalloc |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc | st_insert2 | rb_hash_aset | |--98.45%-- features_index_add | | rb_provide_feature | | rb_require_safe | | vm_call_method Signed-off-by: Greg Price <price@mit.edu> Tested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130623031720.GW22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708115746.GO22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> [ remove spaces at beginning of line, reported by Fengguang Wu ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2011-10-07perf top: Add callgraph supportArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+15
Just like in 'perf report', but live. Still needs to decay the callchains, but already somewhat useful as-is.

2011-10-07perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+20
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top': 1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields. 2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period. And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in 'perf report', for instance: [root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.59% libcrypto.so.1.0.0 21.55% [kernel] 18.57% libpython2.6.so.1.0 7.04% libc-2.12.so 6.99% _backend_agg.so 4.72% sshd 1.48% multiarray.so 1.39% libfreetype.so.6.3.22 1.37% perf 0.71% libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.53% [tg3] 0.48% libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.44% libstdc++.so.6.0.13 0.40% libcairo.so.2.10800.8 0.38% libm-2.12.so 0.34% umath.so 0.30% libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.22% libpthread-2.12.so 0.20% libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.20% librt-2.12.so 0.15% _path.so 0.13% libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.11% libatlas.so.3.0 0.09% ft2font.so 0.09% libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.08% libX11.so.6.3.0 0.07% [vdso] 0.06% cyclictest ^C All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols, etc. The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the zoom operations, do annotation, etc. This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.
