perf map: Add helper for ->map_ip() and ->unmap_ip()

2023-04-07T01:10:17+00:00

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, add a helper function to invoke the map_ip and unmap_ip function pointers. The helper allows the reference count check to be in fewer places.

perf map: Add accessor for dso

2023-04-04T19:41:57+00:00

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so that the reference count check is only necessary in one place. Additional changes: - add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls. - in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent. - in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

perf intel-pt: Synthesize cycle events

2023-02-17T14:02:44+00:00

There is no good reason why we cannot synthesize "cycle" events from Intel PT just as we can synthesize "instruction" events, in particular when CYC packets are available. This enables using PT to getting much more accurate cycle profiles than regular sampling (record -e cycles) when the work last for very short periods (<10 ms). Thus, add support for this, based off of the existing IPC calculation framework. The new option to --itrace is "y" (for cYcles), as c was taken for calls. Cycle and instruction events can be synthesized together, and are by default. The only real caveat is that CYC packets are only emitted whenever some other packet is, which in practice is when a branch instruction is encountered (and not even all branches). Thus, even at no subsampling (e.g. --itrace=y0ns), it is impossible to get more accuracy than a single basic block, and all cycles spent executing that block will get attributed to the branch instruction that ends the packet. Thus, one cannot know whether the cycles came from e.g. a specific load, a mispredicted branch, or something else. When subsampling (which is the default), the cycle events will get smeared out even more, but will still be generally useful to attribute cycle counts to functions.

perf intel-pt: Do not try to queue auxtrace data on pipe

2023-02-02T00:30:05+00:00

When it processes AUXTRACE_INFO, it calls to auxtrace_queue_data() to collect AUXTRACE data first. That won't work with pipe since it needs lseek() to read the scattered aux data. $ perf record -o- -e intel_pt// true | perf report -i- --itrace=i100 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # 0x4118 [0xa0]: failed to process type: 70 Error: failed to process sample For the pipe mode, it can handle the aux data as it gets. But there's no guarantee it can get the aux data in time. So the following warning will be shown at the beginning: WARNING: Intel PT with pipe mode is not recommended. The output cannot relied upon. In particular, time stamps and the order of events may be incorrect.

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 with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures: - Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/ - bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target. Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(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/.

uClibc segfaulted because NULL was passed as the format to fprintf(). That happened because one of the format strings was missing and intel_pt_print_info() didn't check that before calling fprintf().
