perf record: Don't clear event's period if set by a term

2020-09-14T22:35:12+00:00

If events in a group explicitly set a frequency or period with leader sampling, don't disable the samples on those events. Prior to 5.8: perf record -e '{cycles/period=12345000/,instructions/period=6789000/}:S' would clear the attributes then apply the config terms. In commit 5f34278867b7 leader sampling configuration was moved to after applying the config terms, in the example, making the instructions' event have its period cleared. This change makes it so that sampling is only disabled if configuration terms aren't present. Committer testing: Before: # perf record -e '{cycles/period=1/,instructions/period=2/}:S' sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.051 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] # # perf evlist -v cycles/period=1/: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1 instructions/period=2/: size: 120, config: 0x1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # After: # perf record -e '{cycles/period=1/,instructions/period=2/}:S' sleep 0.0001 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (4 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles/period=1/: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1 instructions/period=2/: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 2, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # Fixes: 5f34278867b7 ("perf evlist: Move leader-sampling configuration") Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Acked-by: Adrian Hunter Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Andrii Nakryiko Cc: Athira Jajeev Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: John Fastabend Cc: KP Singh Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Song Liu Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Yonghong Song Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200912025655.1337192-4-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add support for leader-sampling with AUX area events

2020-04-18T12:05:00+00:00

When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However, it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the "leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling. Example: # perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ] # perf report Samples: 380 of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }', Event count (approx.): 3026164 Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol + 38.76% 42.65% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax + 35.82% 31.33% 0.00% 0.00% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_start_user + 34.29% 29.74% 0.55% 0.47% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_start + 33.73% 28.62% 1.60% 0.97% uname ld-2.28.so [.] dl_main + 33.19% 29.04% 0.52% 0.32% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_sysdep_start + 27.83% 33.74% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_syscall_64 + 26.76% 33.29% 0.00% 0.00% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe + 23.78% 20.33% 5.97% 5.25% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault + 23.18% 24.60% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] __libc_start_main + 22.64% 24.37% 0.00% 0.00% uname uname [.] _start + 21.04% 23.27% 0.00% 0.00% uname uname [.] main + 19.48% 18.08% 3.72% 3.64% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_relocate_object + 19.47% 21.81% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] setlocale + 19.44% 21.56% 0.52% 0.61% uname libc-2.28.so [.] _nl_find_locale + 17.87% 19.66% 0.00% 0.00% uname libc-2.28.so [.] _nl_load_locale_from_archive + 15.71% 13.73% 0.53% 0.52% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_page_fault + 15.18% 13.21% 1.03% 0.68% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] handle_mm_fault + 14.15% 12.53% 1.01% 1.12% uname [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __handle_mm_fault + 12.03% 9.67% 0.54% 0.32% uname ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_map_object + 10.55% 8.48% 0.00% 0.00% uname ld-2.28.so [.] openaux + 10.55% 20.20% 0.52% 0.61% uname libc-2.28.so [.] __run_exit_handlers Comnmitter notes: Fixed up this problem: util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’: util/record.c:256:3: error: too few arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’ 256 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/record.c:190:13: note: declared here 190 | static void perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(struct evsel *evsel, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200401101613.6201-17-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Move leader-sampling configuration

2020-04-18T12:05:00+00:00

Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for leader sampling with AUX area events. Committer notes: It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist, so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in the evlist, it is equivalent. Also fixed up this problem: util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’: util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’ 223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/record.c:170:13: note: declared here 170 | static void perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(struct evsel *evsel) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200401101613.6201-14-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf record: Add a function to test for kernel support for AUX area sampling

2019-11-22T13:43:24+00:00

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine whether the kernel supports it. Committer notes: I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the required bits: # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation: ---- perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the return value and errno. ---- After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is added: # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
