This is the initial implementation, please use it and report impressions and bugs. Make sure the kernel-debuginfo packages match the running kernel. The 'perf report' phase for non short perf.data files may take a while.

Initialization speedups: - Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it. - Lazily allocate/size mmap event copy. - Lazy load kernel symbols in 'perf record'. - Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'. - Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line (perf record --no-bpf-event). Assorted improvements: - Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the same, as IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is inherentely precise, not having levels of precision like in Intel systems. - When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event when not system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'. - Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.: $ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true - Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function pointers for selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative, and using just a byte for some boolean struct members. - Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in perf_env__arch_strerrno(). - Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event. Assorted fixes: - Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it starts with a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency (cpu_atom/cycles/P) and Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its respective set of big.LITTLE processors. - Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path. - Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event in a PMU. - Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code. - Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env' code. - Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing locking around iteration of 'struct map' entries. - Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the first one, ELF files may have several such NOTE segments. - Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead. - Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on libelf. - Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in busybox. - Address python 3.6 DeprecationWarning for string scapes. - Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd. - Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock' - Fix some spelling mistakes. perf tests: - Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is stripped. These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot function is indeed detected by profiling, etc. - The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT, skip it if sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to the mailing list discussion about it. This test is also being skipped on several architectures (powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64) due to other pending issues with intruction breakpoints. - Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390. - Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest, addressing issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock done in this release. - Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test. - Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make sure changes don't introduce things it flags as problematic. - Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via 'perf config'. - Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests. - Basic branch counter support. - Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual. - Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures. - Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton test. - Improve Intel hybrid tests. Vendor event files (JSON): powerpc: - Update datasource event name to fix duplicate events on IBM's Power10. - Add PVN for HX-C2000 CPU with Power8 Architecture. Intel: - Alderlake/rocketlake metric fixes. - Update emeraldrapids events to v1.02. - Update icelakex events to v1.23. - Update sapphirerapids events to v1.17. - Add skx, clx, icx and spr upi bandwidth metric. AMD: - Add Zen 4 memory controller events.

2024-01-09mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDERKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous definition. To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

2023-12-24perf annotate: Add --data-type optionNamhyung Kim1-0/+8
Support data type annotation with new --data-type option. It internally uses type sort key to collect sample histogram for the type and display every members like below. $ perf annotate --data-type ... Annotate type: 'struct cfs_rq' in [kernel.kallsyms] (13 samples): ============================================================================ samples offset size field 13 0 640 struct cfs_rq { 2 0 16 struct load_weight load { 2 0 8 unsigned long weight; 0 8 4 u32 inv_weight; }; 0 16 8 unsigned long runnable_weight; 0 24 4 unsigned int nr_running; 1 28 4 unsigned int h_nr_running; ... For simplicity it prints the number of samples per field for now. But it should be easy to show the overhead percentage instead. The number at the outer struct is a sum of the numbers of the inner members. For example, struct cfs_rq got total 13 samples, and 2 came from the load (struct load_weight) and 1 from h_nr_running. Similarly, the struct load_weight got total 2 samples and they all came from the weight field. I've added two new flags in the symbol_conf for this. The annotate_data_member is to get the members of the type. This is also needed for perf report with typeoff sort key. The annotate_data_sample is to update sample stats for each offset and used only in annotate. Currently it only support stdio output mode, TUI support can be added later.

2023-12-24perf report: Add 'type' sort keyNamhyung Kim1-0/+1

An AUX trace can contain timestamp, but in some situations, the hardware trace module (e.g. Arm CoreSight) cannot decide the traced timestamp is the same source with CPU's time, thus the decoder can not use the timestamp trace for samples. This patch introduces 'T' itrace option. If users know the platforms they are working on have the same time counter with CPUs, users can use this new option to tell a decoder for using timestamp trace as kernel time.

2023-11-09perf tools: Add branch counter knobKan Liang1-0/+4
Add a new branch filter, "counter", for the branch counter option. It is used to mark the events which should be logged in the branch. If it is applied with the -j option, the counters of all the events should be logged in the branch. If the legacy kernel doesn't support the new branch sample type, switching off the branch counter filter. The stored counter values in each branch are displayed right after the regular branch stack information via perf report -D. Usage examples: # perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Both branch-instructions and branch-misses are marked as logged events. The occurrences information of them can be found in the branch stack extension space of each branch. # perf record -e "{cpu/branch-instructions,branch_type=any/,cpu/branch-misses,branch_type=counter/}" Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Only the branch-misses event is marked as a logged event. Committer notes: I noticed 'perf test "Sample parsing"' failing, reported to the list and Kan provided a patch that checks if the evsel has a leader and that evsel->evlist is set, the comment in the source code further explains it.

2023-09-12perf kwork top: Introduce new top utilityYang Jihong1-1/+4
Some common tools for collecting statistics on CPU usage, such as top, obtain statistics from timer interrupt sampling, and then periodically read statistics from /proc/stat. This method has some deviations: 1. In the tick interrupt, the time between the last tick and the current tick is counted in the current task. However, the task may be running only part of the time. 2. For each task, the top tool periodically reads the /proc/{PID}/status information. For tasks with a short life cycle, it may be missed. In conclusion, the top tool cannot accurately collect statistics on the CPU usage and running time of tasks. The statistical method based on sched_switch tracepoint can accurately calculate the CPU usage of all tasks. This method is applicable to scenarios where performance comparison data is of high precision.

2023-09-12perf record: Track sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUsYang Jihong1-0/+3
User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, we need to track side-band events for all CPUs. The specific scenarios are as follows: CPU0 CPU1 perf record -C 0 start taskA starts to be created and executed -> PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP events only deliver to CPU1 ...... | migrate to CPU0 | Running on CPU0 <----------/ ... perf record -C 0 stop Now perf samples the PC of taskA. However, perf does not record the PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP events of taskA. Therefore, the comm and symbols of taskA cannot be parsed. The solution is to record sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs. Because this modifies the default behavior, add related comments to the perf record man page. The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows: # perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -C 1 true <SNIP> Opening: cpu-clock ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE) size 136 config 0 (PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK) { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|LOST disabled 1 inherit 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5 Opening: dummy:u ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE) size 136 config 0x9 (PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY) { sample_period, sample_freq } 1 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|LOST inherit 1 exclude_kernel 1 exclude_hv 1 mmap 1 comm 1 task 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 bpf_event 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 7 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 9 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 10 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 11 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 5 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 12 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 13 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 7 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 14 <SNIP> Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@huawei.com> Tested-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230904023340.12707-5-yangjihong1@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2023-08-15perf parse-events: Remove BPF event supportIan Rogers2-55/+0
New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as in paths. This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit adding support using BPF skeletons. The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex generated code, so update build to ignore it: ``` util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label] 2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */ ``` Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF bytecode. Testing it: # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Bad event or PMU Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home' Initial error: event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Cannot find PMU `home'.

2023-05-15perf doc: Define man page date when using asciidoctorBen Hutchings1-4/+7
When building perf documentation with asciidoc, we use "git log" to find the last commit date of each doc source and pass that to asciidoc to use as the man page date. When using asciidoctor, however, the current date is always used instead. Defining perf_date like we do for asciidoc also doesn't work because we're not using DocBook as an intermediate format. The asciidoctor man page backend looks for the variable "docdate", so set that instead.

Allow addr2line to be set either on the command line or via the perfconfig file. This doesn't currently work with llvm-addr2line as the addr2line code emits two things: 1) the address to decode, 2) a bogus ',' value. The expectation is the bogus value will generate: ?? ??:0 that terminates the addr2line reading. However, the output from llvm-addr2line is a single line with just the input ',' locking up the addr2line reading that is expecting a second line.

2023-03-21perf report: Add 'simd' sort fieldGerman Gomez1-0/+1
Add 'simd' sort field to visualize SIMD ops in 'perf report'. Rows are labeled with the SIMD ISA, and the type of predicate (if any): - [p] partial predicate - [e] empty predicate (no elements in the vector being used) Example with Arm SPE and SVE (Scalable Vector Extension): #include <arm_sve.h> double src[1025], dst[1025]; int main(void) { svfloat64_t vc = svdup_f64(1); for(;;) for(int i = 0; i < 1025; i += svcntd()) { svbool_t pg = svwhilelt_b64(i, 1025); svfloat64_t vsrc = svld1(pg, &src[i]); svfloat64_t vdst = svadd_x(pg, vsrc, vc); svst1(pg, &dst[i], vdst); } return 0; } ... compiled using "gcc-11 -march=armv8-a+sve -O3" Profiling on a platform that implements FEAT_SVE and FEAT_SPEv1p1: $ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- ./a.out $ perf report --itrace=i1i -s overhead,pid,simd,sym Overhead Pid:Command Simd Symbol ........ ................ ....... ...................... 53.76% 10758:program [.] main 46.14% 10758:program [.] SVE [.] main 0.09% 10758:program [p] SVE [.] main The report shows 0.09% of the sampled SVE operations use partial predicates due to src and dst arrays not being multiples of the vector register lengths.

2023-02-17perf intel-pt: Synthesize cycle eventsSteinar H. Gunderson2-13/+26
There is no good reason why we cannot synthesize "cycle" events from Intel PT just as we can synthesize "instruction" events, in particular when CYC packets are available. This enables using PT to getting much more accurate cycle profiles than regular sampling (record -e cycles) when the work last for very short periods (<10 ms). Thus, add support for this, based off of the existing IPC calculation framework. The new option to --itrace is "y" (for cYcles), as c was taken for calls. Cycle and instruction events can be synthesized together, and are by default. The only real caveat is that CYC packets are only emitted whenever some other packet is, which in practice is when a branch instruction is encountered (and not even all branches). Thus, even at no subsampling (e.g. --itrace=y0ns), it is impossible to get more accuracy than a single basic block, and all cycles spent executing that block will get attributed to the branch instruction that ends the packet. Thus, one cannot know whether the cycles came from e.g. a specific load, a mispredicted branch, or something else. When subsampling (which is the default), the cycle events will get smeared out even more, but will still be generally useful to attribute cycle counts to functions.

2023-02-16perf c2c: Add report option to show false sharing in adjacent cachelinesFeng Tang1-0/+6
Many platforms have feature of adjacent cachelines prefetch, when it is enabled, for data in RAM of 2 cachelines (2N and 2N+1) granularity, if one is fetched to cache, the other one could likely be fetched too, which sort of extends the cacheline size to double, thus the false sharing could happens in adjacent cachelines. 0Day has captured performance changed related with this [1], and some commercial software explicitly makes its hot global variables 128 bytes aligned (2 cache lines) to avoid this kind of extended false sharing. So add an option "--double-cl" for 'perf c2c report' to show false sharing in double cache line granularity, which acts just like the cacheline size is doubled. There is no change to c2c record. The hardware events of shared cacheline are still per cacheline, and this option just changes the granularity of how events are grouped and displayed.

2023-02-08perf lock contention: Add -o/--lock-owner optionNamhyung Kim1-0/+5
When there're many lock contentions in the system, people sometimes want to know who caused the contention, IOW who's the owner of the locks. The -o/--lock-owner option tries to follow the lock owners for the contended mutexes and rwsems from BPF, and then attributes the contention time to the owner instead of the waiter. It's a best effort approach to get the owner info at the time of the contention and doesn't guarantee to have the precise tracking of owners if it's changing over time. Currently it only handles mutex and rwsem that have owner field in their struct and it basically points to a task_struct that owns the lock at the moment. Technically its type is atomic_long_t and it comes with some LSB bits used for other meanings. So it needs to clear them when casting it to a pointer to task_struct. Also the atomic_long_t is a typedef of the atomic 32 or 64 bit types depending on arch which is a wrapper struct for the counter value. I'm not aware of proper ways to access those kernel atomic types from BPF so I just read the internal counter value directly. Please let me know if there's a better way. When -o/--lock-owner option is used, it goes to the task aggregation mode like -t/--threads option does. However it cannot get the owner for other lock types like spinlock and sometimes even for mutex. $ sudo ./perf lock con -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark: # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 4.766 [sec] 4.766540 usecs/op 209795 ops/sec contended total wait max wait avg wait pid owner 403 565.32 us 26.81 us 1.40 us -1 Unknown 4 27.99 us 8.57 us 7.00 us 1583145 sched-pipe 1 8.25 us 8.25 us 8.25 us 1583144 sched-pipe 1 2.03 us 2.03 us 2.03 us 5068 chrome As you can see, the owner is unknown for the most cases.
