2018-01-17perf unwind: Do not look just at the global callchain_param.record_modeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+2
When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using 'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like: perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/ The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed, precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf". We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where the perf.data file was recorded. All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for the threads with samples, not for all of them. For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-24perf callchain: Store srcline in callchain_cursor_nodeMilian Wolff1-2/+4
This is mostly a preparation to enable the creation of full callchain nodes for inline frames. Such frames will reference the IP of the non-inlined frame, but hold the symbol and srcline for an inlined location. As such, we won't be able to query the srcline on-demand based on the IP alone. Instead, we will leverage the functionality provided by this patch here, and store the srcline for the inlined nodes in the new srcline member of callchain_cursor_node. Note that this patch on its own leaks the srcline, as there is no free_callchain_cursor_node or similar. A future patch will add caching of the srcline and handle deletion properly.

2017-08-30perf report: Calculate the average cycles of iterationsJin Yao1-5/+4
The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops. While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations. This patch adds up the cycles in branch entries of removed loops and save the result to the next branch entry (e.g. branch entry A). Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the "from" of branch entry A. For example: perf record -g -j any,save_type ./div perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio --22.63%--main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2 iter:173115 avg_cycles:2) | --10.73%--compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M) Signed-off-by: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1502111115-18305-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-03-27perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as keyMilian Wolff1-1/+2
Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us. Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads. The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist entries that generate the same output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g address # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--60.31%--hypot +20 | | | | | |--8.52%--__hypot_finite +273 | | | | | |--7.32%--__hypot_finite +411 ... --35.34%--_start +4194346 __libc_start_main +241 | |--6.65%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--2.70%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--1.69%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch and `-g srcline` we instead get the following output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g srcline # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--64.02%--hypot | | | | | --59.81%--__hypot_finite | | | --0.53%--cabs | --35.34%--_start __libc_start_main | |--12.48%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170318214928.9047-1-milian.wolff@kdab.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-11-14perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor nodeJin Yao1-1/+7
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.

2015-11-19perf hists browser: Support flat callchainsNamhyung Kim1-0/+2
The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple hierarchy so make it easy to see. Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly. With flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it should show entries in parent nodes. To do that, add parent_val list to struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list. For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'. $ perf report -g graph - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle - cpu_startup_entry 28.63% start_secondary - 11.30% rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel Before: $ perf report -g flat - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 28.63% start_secondary - 11.30% rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel After: $ perf report -g flat - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle - 28.63% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_secondary - 11.30% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447047946-1691-8-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-02-18perf tools: Enable LBR call stack supportKan Liang1-0/+1
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf. Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call stack support on the tooling side. LBR call stack has some limitations: - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. However, it also offers some advantages: - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing else works.

2014-12-02perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histogramsAndi Kleen1-0/+1
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.

2014-11-25perf callchain: Enable printing the srcline in the historyAndi Kleen1-0/+1
For lbr-as-callgraph we need to see the line number in the history, because many LBR entries can be in a single function, and just showing the same function name many times is not useful. When the history code is configured to sort by address, also try to resolve the address to a file:srcline and display this in the browser. If that doesn't work still display the address. This can be also useful without LBRs for understanding which call in a large function (or in which inlined function) called something else.

2014-06-27perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug infoSukadev Bhattiprolu1-0/+13
When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine when the entries are needed. Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored. If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs in the call-graphs. Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries should be ignored when building call-graphs.
