[ combined patch removing the -f usage in various sub-commands, such as 'perf sched', etc, by Namhyung Kim ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Perf data files cannot be processed until the header is updated which is
done via an on_exit handler.
If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM it does not run the on_exit hooks
leaving the perf.data file in a random state which perf-report will
happily spin on trying to read.
As noted by Mike an easy reproducer is:
perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf
Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT.
Also need to remove the kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.
Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.
Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.
v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.
There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.
What we actually want is:
1) For any type of traced program:
- all independent events and group leaders are disabled
- all group members are enabled
Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.
2) For traced programs executed by perf:
- all independent events and group leaders have
enable_on_exec set
- we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
the record command
Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
leaders as stated in 1).
3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
- we specifically enable or disable all events during
the record command
When attaching events to already running traced we
enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
initial traced exec call.
Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

argument of make. It then defines NO_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT macro for C code
to do the proper handling. However it usually used in a negative

__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.
The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.
With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls
resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.
All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.
Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls
# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls
It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:
# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'
resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.
It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
'fp' - provides framepointer based user
stack backtrace
'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.
If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.
Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)
perf record -g dwarf ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size
perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size
perf record -g -- ls
perf record -g fp ls
- provides frame pointer unwind

A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to
cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of
the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command
-- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line
as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record.
As an example consider the command:
$ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record
-fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10
Currently the command saved to the header is:
cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1
(ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm).
With this patch the command line saved to the header is:
cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount
record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1
v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion

Quoting Ingo:
"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."

any type of taken branches is sampled.
With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any
valid combination of branch types and privilege levels
if supported by the underlying hardware.
The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any.

There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.
The following filters are available:
- any : any type of branches
- any_call : any function call or system call
- any_ret : any function return or system call return
- any_ind : any indirect branch
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
- hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor
Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled
different when writing the feature section. All other features are
simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without
returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This
patch unifies handling of the features.
This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently.
Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_
section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__
write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features
can be processed anyway.
Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id().
v2:
* perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated,
which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates
a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these
samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a
defined limit.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second
case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process
sleeps in both places equal time.
Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As
result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and
we avoid throttling of samples.
The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a
kernel part of this functionality.

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.
So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.
At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

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-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().
For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).
perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

When the mmap fails perf_evlist__mmap will just emit a warning if this
is the failure reason.

The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.
However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.
Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.
Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

Resend of patch sent back in January 2011 in light of recent confusion around
unsupported events for a given platform.
Improve sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return handling in top and record, just
like 5a3446b does for stat.
Retry of Arnaldo's patch using ui_warning instead of die which allows the
fallback from hardware cycles to software clock.

We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up
with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a
paranoid setting (the default) tries to use 'perf top'.
Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that
tells the user the valid values for /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine
(perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear
lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc.
Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the
emerging perf lib.

We currently set the filters after we mmap the events, this is a
race that let undesired events record themselves in the buffer before
we had the time to set the filters.
So set the filters before they can be recorded. That also librarizes
the filters setting so that filtering can be done more easily
from other tools than perf record later.

While testing the --filter option I noticed that we were writing lots of
unneeded stuff to the perf.data header when the filter ioctl fails, so
move the atexit(atexit_header) call to after we create the counters
successfully.

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.
The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.
Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
2,368,667,414 cycles test1
2,369,661,459 cycles
<not counted> cycles test2

Jeff Moyer reported these messages:
Warning: ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks

[ls output]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]
That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.
So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.
Checked in the following ways:
On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:

This will create one extra thread per CPU:
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28825 OTHER 0 0xff 2169 671 cyclictest
28832 FIFO 93 6 52338 1 cyclictest

28830 FIFO 95 4 69794 1 cyclictest
28831 FIFO 94 5 59825 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
629 28825
110 28826

621 28830
225 28831
203 28832
89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#
So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28859 OTHER 0 0xff 594 200 cyclictest
28864 FIFO 95 4 16587 1 cyclictest

28861 FIFO 98 1 33190 1 cyclictest
28862 FIFO 97 2 24895 1 cyclictest
28863 FIFO 96 3 19918 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
and then later did:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#
To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
15 28859
33 28860
19 28861
13 28862
13 28863
10 28864
11 28865
9 28866
255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#
Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#
Works too.

So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that
needs it, simplifying usage.
There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance,
which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have
to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was
passed to then create those maps.
For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via
perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also
providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists
share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance,
get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a
particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity
in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.
