perf symbols: Store if there is a filter in place

2015-07-13T11:21:57+00:00

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists, for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI. But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms, --dsos, etc). So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in place.

perf tools: Move TUI-specific fields out of map_symbol

2015-05-05T21:13:24+00:00

The has_children and unfolded fields don't belong to the struct map_symbol since they're used by the TUI only. Move those fields out of map_symbol since the struct is also used by other places. This will also help to compact the sizeof struct hist_entry.

perf probe ppc64le: Fix ppc64 ABIv2 symbol decoding

2015-05-04T15:43:45+00:00

ppc64 ELF ABIv2 has a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). For purposes of probing, we need the LEP - the offset to which is encoded in st_other.

perf probe ppc: Use the right prefix when ignoring SyS symbols on ppc

Use the proper prefix when ignoring SyS symbols on ppc ABIv1. While at it, generalize symbol selection so architectures can implement their own logic. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

perf probe ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

2015-05-04T15:43:42+00:00

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_fork _text+635952 # printf "%x" 635952 9b430 # grep do_fork /boot/System.map c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

perf tools: Add pid/tid filtering to report and script commands

2015-03-24T16:02:46+00:00

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data. Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only consider samples related to the given pids/tids. This is also inline with the existing comm option.

perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol name

2015-03-12T15:39:54+00:00

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso. When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be better to keep all names (including aliases). So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms

2014-12-01T23:00:31+00:00

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful. This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram infrastructure to unify them. This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the caller for short functions. Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be added in a patch after this one: tcall.c: volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c; __attribute__((noinline)) f2() { c = a / b; } __attribute__((noinline)) f1() { f2(); f2(); } main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) f1(); } % perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ] % perf report --no-children --branch-history ... 54.91% tcall.c:6 [.] f2 tcall | |--65.53%-- f2 tcall.c:5 | | | |--70.83%-- f1 tcall.c:11 | | f1 tcall.c:10 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:17 | | main tcall.c:17 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:11 | | | --29.17%-- f1 tcall.c:12 | f1 tcall.c:12 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:11 | f1 tcall.c:10 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:17 | main tcall.c:17 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:12 The default output is unchanged. This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere else. This adds the basic code to report: - add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode - when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c. The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the difference between LBR entry and normal call entry. - detect overlaps with the callchain - remove small loop duplicates in the LBR Current limitations: - The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history and LBR entries have no special marker. - It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow (e.g. with arrows) v2: Various fixes. v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space. v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback. v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without -b. v6: Rebase v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset. v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

perf symbols: Move bfd_demangle stubbing to its only user

2014-11-24T21:03:47+00:00

We need to define bfd_demangle() to either a wrapper for cplus_demangle() or to a stub when NO_DEMANGLE is defined. That is at odds with using bfd.h for some other reason, as it defines bfd_demangle() and then if code that wants to use symbol.h, where the above stubbing/wrapping is done, and bfd.h for other reasons, we end up with a build error where bfd_demangle() is found to be redefined. Avoid that by moving the stubbing/wrapping to symbol-elf.c, that is the only user of such function. If we ever get to a point where there are more valid users, we can then introduce a header for that.
