perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis

2020-05-28T13:03:25+00:00

During the processing of /proc during event synthesis new processes may start. Add a dummy event if /proc is to be processed, to capture mmaps for starting processes. This reuses the existing logic for initial-delay. v3 fixes the attr test of test-record-C0 v2 fixes the dummy event configuration and a branch stack issue.

perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions

2019-11-21T13:54:20+00:00

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into line with the kernel version. New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the desired size of the sample. Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e. PERF_SAMPLE_AUX. Committer notes: I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch in this series we would have: # perf test -v parsing 26: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17018 sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: FAILED! # With the two paches combined: # perf test parsing 26: Sample parsing : Ok # Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Save bpf_prog_info and BTF of new BPF programs

2019-03-21T14:27:04+00:00

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different information are needed: 1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL 2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT 3) bpf_prog_info 4) btf This patch handles 3) and 4) for BPF programs loaded after 'perf record|top'. For timely process of these information, a dedicated event is added to the side band evlist. When PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is received via the side band event, the polling thread gathers 3) and 4) vis sys_bpf and store them in perf_env. This information is saved to perf.data at the end of 'perf record'. Committer testing: The 'wakeup_watermark' member in 'struct perf_event_attr' is inside a unnamed union, so can't be used in a struct designated initialization with older gccs, get it out of that, isolating as 'attr.wakeup_watermark = 1;' to work with all gcc versions. We also need to add '--no-bpf-event' to the 'perf record' perf_event_attr tests in 'perf test', as the way that that test goes is to intercept the events being setup and looking if they match the fields described in the control files, since now it finds first the side band event used to catch the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, they all fail. With these issues fixed: Same scenario as for testing BPF programs loaded before 'perf record' or 'perf top' starts, only start the BPF programs after 'perf record|top', so that its information get collected by the sideband threads, the rest works as for the programs loaded before start monitoring. Add missing 'inline' to the bpf_event__add_sb_event() when HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined, fixing the build in systems without binutils devel files installed.

perf tools: Do not zero sample_id_all for group members

Andi reported following malfunction: # perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}:S' -a sleep 1 # perf script non matching sample_id_all That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

It fixes the perf top usage Ingo reported broken: # perf top -e '{cycles,msr/aperf/}:S' The 'msr/aperf/' event is configured for write_back sampling, which is not allowed by the MSR PMU, so it fails to create the event.
