perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc

2016-03-28T20:46:20+00:00

Commit 531d2410635c ("perf tools: Do not include stringify.h from the kernel sources") seems to have accidentially removed the inclusion of "util/header.h" from "arch/powerpc/util/header.c". "util/header.h" provides the prototype for get_cpuid() and is needed to build perf on Powerpc: arch/powerpc/util/header.c:17:1: error: no previous prototype for 'get_cpuid' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] Reported-by: Michael Ellerman Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Stephen Rothwell Fixes: 531d2410635c ("perf tools: Do not include stringify.h from the kernel sources") Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu [ Included "util.h" too, to get the scnprintf() prototype ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Use 64-bit shifts with (TSC) time conversion

2016-03-08T09:11:18+00:00

Commit b9511cd761fa ("perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page") altered the time conversion algorithms documented in the perf_event.h header file, to use 64-bit shifts. That was done to make the code more future-proof (i.e. some time in the future a 32-bit shift could be allowed). Reflect those changes in perf tools.

perf kvm/powerpc: Add support for HCALL reasons

2016-01-29T20:49:54+00:00

Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat to record and analyze hcall events. - To trace hcall events : perf kvm stat record - To show the results : perf kvm stat report --event=hcall The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency. This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". To map the hcall codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h. # pgrep qemu A sample output : 19378 60515 2 VMs running. # perf kvm stat record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ] # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 --event=hcall Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs: HCALL-EVENT Samples Samples% Time% MinTime MaxTime AvgTime H_IPI 822 66.08% 88.10% 0.63us 11.38us 2.05us (+- 1.42%) H_SEND_CRQ 144 11.58% 3.77% 0.41us 0.88us 0.50us (+- 1.47%) H_VIO_SIGNAL 118 9.49% 2.86% 0.37us 0.83us 0.47us (+- 1.43%) H_PUT_TERM_CHAR 76 6.11% 2.07% 0.37us 0.90us 0.52us (+- 2.43%) H_GET_TERM_CHAR 74 5.95% 2.23% 0.37us 1.70us 0.58us (+- 4.77%) H_RTAS 6 0.48% 0.85% 1.10us 9.25us 2.70us (+-48.57%) H_PERFMON 4 0.32% 0.12% 0.41us 0.96us 0.59us (+-20.92%) Total Samples:1244, Total events handled time:1916.69us.

perf kvm/powerpc: Port perf kvm stat to powerpc

2016-01-29T20:49:54+00:00

perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc. - To trace KVM events : perf kvm stat record If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using --pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid - To see the results : perf kvm stat report The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with their frequency. Since, different powerpc machines have different KVM tracepoints, this patch discovers the available tracepoints dynamically and accordingly looks for them. If any single tracepoint is not present, this support won't be enabled for reporting. To record, this will fail if any of the events we are looking to record isn't available. Right now, its only supported on PowerPC Book3S_HV architectures. To analyze the different exits, group them and present them (in a slight descriptive way) to the user, we need a mapping between the "exit code" (dumped in the kvm_guest_exit tracepoint data) and to its related Interrupt vector description (exit reason). This patch adds this mapping in book3s_hv_exits.h. It records on two available KVM tracepoints for book3s_hv: "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter". Here is a sample o/p: # pgrep qemu 19378 60515 2 Guests are running on the host. # perf kvm stat record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ] # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 Analyze events for pid(s) 60515, all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% MinTime MaxTime Avg time SYSCALL 9141 63.67% 7.49% 1.26us 5782.39us 9.87us (+- 6.46%) H_DATA_STORAGE 4114 28.66% 5.07% 1.72us 4597.68us 14.84us (+-20.06%) HV_DECREMENTER 418 2.91% 4.26% 0.70us 30002.22us 122.58us (+-70.29%) EXTERNAL 392 2.73% 0.06% 0.64us 104.10us 1.94us (+-18.83%) RETURN_TO_HOST 287 2.00% 83.11% 1.53us 124240.15us 3486.52us (+-16.81%) H_INST_STORAGE 5 0.03% 0.00% 1.88us 3.73us 2.39us (+-14.20%) Total Samples:14357, Total events handled time:1203918.42us.

perf kvm/{x86,s390}: Remove const from kvm_events_tp

2016-01-29T20:49:53+00:00

This patch removes the "const" qualifier from kvm_events_tp declaration to account for the fact that some architectures may need to update this variable dynamically. For instance, powerpc will need to update this variable dynamically depending on the machine type.
