git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: perf record: Alexey Budankov: - Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind. yuzhoujian: - Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only, IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user} bits from the command line. perf trace: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs. - Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str(). - Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups. This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64, where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not be asked for tracing. Leo Yan: - Exit when failing to build eBPF program. perf config: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c. perf.data: Kan Liang: - Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header. perf stat: Kan Liang: - Support per-die aggregation. Documentation: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY, CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers. Song Liu: - Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF. Leo Yan: - Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'. JVMTI: Jiri Olsa: - Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy() core: - Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd(). Intel PT: Adrian Hunter: - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction, the incremental values will often be zero. When there are values, they will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

2019-02-06perf thread-stack: Represent jmps to the start of a different symbolAdrian Hunter1-0/+3
The compiler might optimize a call/ret combination by making it a jmp. However the thread-stack does not presently cater for that, so that such control flow is not visible in the call graph. Make it visible by recording on the stack a branch to the start of a different symbol. Note, that means when a ret pops the stack, all jmps must be popped off first. Example: $ cat jmp-to-fn.c __attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void) { return -1; } __attribute__((noinline)) int foo(void) { return bar() + 1; } int main() { return foo(); } $ gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o jmp-to-fn jmp-to-fn.c $ objdump -d jmp-to-fn <SNIP> 0000000000001040 <main>: 1040: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1042: e9 09 01 00 00 jmpq 1150 <foo> <SNIP> 0000000000001140 <bar>: 1140: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 1145: c3 retq <SNIP> 0000000000001150 <foo>: 1150: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1152: e8 e9 ff ff ff callq 1140 <bar> 1157: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax 115a: c3 retq <SNIP> $ perf record -o jmp-to-fn.perf.data -e intel_pt/cyc/u ./jmp-to-fn [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0,017 MB jmp-to-fn.perf.data ] $ perf script -i jmp-to-fn.perf.data --itrace=be -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py jmp-to-fn.db branches calls 2019-01-08 13:24:58.783069 Creating database... 2019-01-08 13:24:58.794650 Writing records... 2019-01-08 13:24:59.008050 Adding indexes 2019-01-08 13:24:59.015802 Done $ ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py jmp-to-fn.db Before: main -> bar After: main -> foo -> bar Committer testing: Install the python2-pyside package, then select these menu options on the GUI: "Reports" "Context sensitive callgraphs" Then go on expanding the symbols, to get, full picture when doing this on a fedora:29 with gcc version 8.2.1 20181215 (Red Hat 8.2.1-6) (GCC): jmp-to-fn PID:TID _start (ld-2.28.so) __libc_start_main main foo bar To verify that indeed, this fixes the problem.

2019-01-02perf thread-stack: Fix thread stack processing for the idle taskAdrian Hunter1-4/+4
perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task always has PID == TID == 0. However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU. Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle "thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

2016-06-23perf script: Add callindent optionAdrian Hunter1-0/+1
Based on patches from Andi Kleen. When printing PT instruction traces with perf script it is rather useful to see some indentation for the call tree. This patch adds a new callindent field to perf script that prints spaces for the function call stack depth. We already have code to track the function call stack for PT, that we can reuse with minor modifications. The resulting output is not quite as nice as ftrace yet, but a lot better than what was there before. Note there are some corner cases when the thread stack gets code confused and prints incorrect indentation. Even with that it is fairly useful. When displaying kernel code traces it is recommended to run as root, as otherwise perf doesn't understand the kernel addresses properly, and may not reset the call stack correctly on kernel boundaries.

2016-05-06perf script: Expose usage of the callchain db export via the python apiChris Phlipot1-1/+13
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with the samples from which they were derived. - This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true - When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the callchains exported via call_path_table - The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no corresponding callchain. - When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from building two separate call path trees in memory. - The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned above. This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api. The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the final argument of the sample_table function.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of thread-stack to create call paths. Summary: - Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build. - Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h and into call-path.c and call-path.h. - A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to compile. This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

2015-06-19perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushedAdrian Hunter1-0/+1
The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed. Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the thread-stacks at the end of a session.

2014-11-03perf tools: Enhance the thread stack to output call/return dataAdrian Hunter1-0/+79
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().
