perf header: Remove repipe option

2024-08-30T12:24:27+00:00

No longer used by `perf inject` the repipe_fd is always -1 and repipe is always false. Remove the options and associated code knowing the constant values of the removed variables.

perf inject: Overhaul handling of pipe files

2024-08-30T12:23:51+00:00

Previously inject->is_pipe was set if the input or output were a pipe. Determining the input was a pipe had to be done prior to starting the session and opening the file. This was done by comparing the input file name with '-' but it fails if the pipe file is written to disk. Opening a pipe file from disk will correctly set perf_data.is_pipe, but this is too late for 'perf inject' and results in a broken file. A workaround is 'cat pipe_perf|perf inject -i - ...'. This change removes inject->is_pipe and changes the dependent conditions to use the is_pipe flag on the input (inject->session->data) and output files (inject->output). This ensures the is_pipe condition reflects things like the header being read. The change removes the use of perf file header repiping, that is writing the file header out while reading it in. The case of input pipe and output file cannot repipe as the attributes for the file are unknown. To resolve this, write the file header when writing to disk and as the attributes may be unknown, write them after the data. Update sessions repipe variable to be trace_event_repipe as those are the only events now impacted by it. Update __perf_session__new as the repipe_fd no longer needs passing. Fully removing repipe from session header reading will be done in a later change.

perf: Extract building cache level for a CPU into separate function

2023-05-23T15:20:14+00:00

build_caches() builds the complete cache topology of the system by iterating over all CPU, building and comparing cache levels of each CPU, keeping only the unique ones at the end. Extract the unit that build the cache levels for a single CPU into a separate function. Expose this function, and the MAX_CACHE_LVL value to be used elsewhere in perf too.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12+00:00

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf inject: Adjust output data offset for backward compatibility

2022-06-26T15:32:55+00:00

When 'perf inject' creates a new file, it reuses the data offset from the input file. If there has been a change on the size of the header, as happened in v5.12 -> v5.13, the new offsets will be wrong, resulting in a corrupted output file. This change adds the function perf_session__data_offset to compute the data offset based on the current header size, and uses that instead of the offset from the original input file.

perf header: Record non-CPU PMU capabilities

2022-06-24T16:18:55+00:00

PMUs advertise their capabilities via sysfs attribute files but the perf tool currently parses only core(CPU) or hybrid core PMU capabilities. Add support of recording non-core PMU capabilities int perf.data header. Note that a newly proposed HEADER_PMU_CAPS is replacing existing HEADER_HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS. Special care is taken for hybrid core PMUs by writing their capabilities first in the perf.data header to make sure new perf.data file being read by old perf tool does not break.
