perf symbols: Use the buildids if present With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids, stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new feature bit in the header bitmask. 'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the 'dsos' list and set the build ids. When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that doesn't have the same build id. This improves the reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling data is more guaranteed to match. Example: [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols # Samples: 2621434559 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ............................. ...... # 7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9 [root@doppio ~]# In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished, so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly different (and misleading) output. Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build id notes for it and the modules from /sys. Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command: 'perf list-buildids' that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine and 'perf report' in another. Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older kernels.

perf tools: Back [vdso] DSO with real data Storing data for VDSO shared object, because we need it for the post unwind processing. The VDSO shared object is same for all process on a running system, so it makes no difference when we store it inside the tracer - perf. When [vdso] map memory is hit, we retrieve [vdso] DSO image and store it into temporary file. During the build-id processing phase, the [vdso] DSO image is stored in build-id db, and build-id reference is made inside perf.data. The build-id vdso file object is called '[vdso]'. We don't use temporary file name which gets removed when record is finished. During report phase the vdso build-id object is treated as any other build-id DSO object. Adding following API for vdso object: bool is_vdso_map(const char *filename) - returns true if the filename matches vdso map name struct dso *vdso__dso_findnew(struct list_head *head) - find/create proper vdso DSO object vdso__exit(void) - removes temporary VDSO image if there's any This change makes backtrace dwarf post unwind possible from [vdso] maps.

perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8) The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...
