perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

2015-05-08T19:19:27+00:00

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from concurrent access. That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references it. So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel, get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock, return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed, keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing that data structure. I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and "perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)". The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at addr_location__put() time.

perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface

2015-04-29T13:37:58+00:00

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function. Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return: struct parse_events_error { int idx; char *str; char *help; }; where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed, 'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error and 'help' is optional help string. The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls event syntax error: 'sched:krava' \___ unknown tracepoint ... $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type ... $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises' \___ parser error ... The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses the terminal width.

perf evsel: Add hists helper

2014-10-09T16:13:41+00:00

Not all tools need a hists instance per perf_evsel, so lets pave the way to remove evsel->hists while leaving a way to access the hists from a specially allocated evsel, one that comes with space at the end where lives the evsel.

perf tests: Define and use symbolic names for fake symbols

2014-06-01T12:35:11+00:00

In various histogram test cases, fake symbols are used as raw numbers. Define macros for each pid, map, symbols so that it can increase readability somewhat.

perf hists: Check if accumulated when adding a hist entry

2014-06-01T12:34:56+00:00

To support callchain accumulation, @entry should be recognized if it's accumulated or not when add_hist_entry() called. The period of an accumulated entry should be added to ->stat_acc but not ->stat. Add @sample_self arg for that.

Those print helper functions can be reused by later hist test cases so factor them out to a common location. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1400480762-22852-20-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tools: Use tid for finding thread

2014-05-12T09:09:50+00:00

I believe that passing pid (instead of tid) as the 3rd arg of the machine__find*_thread() was to find a main thread so that it can search proper map group for symbols. However with the map sharing patch applied, it now can do it in any thread. It fixes a bug when each thread has different name, it only reports a main thread for samples in other threads.

perf tests: Factor out fake_setup_machine()

2014-04-28T11:42:29+00:00

The fake_setup_machine() is for setting up a environment for testing various hists operations. As it'll be used for other test cases it'd better factoring it out.

perf tools: Use tid in mmap/mmap2 events to find maps

2014-03-18T21:17:00+00:00

Now that we can properly synthesize threads system-wide, make sure the mmap and mmap2 events use tids instead of pids to locate their maps.
