perf session: Do not fail on processing out of order event

2015-01-16T14:59:56+00:00

commit f61ff6c06dc8f32c7036013ad802c899ec590607 upstream. Linus reported perf report command being interrupted due to processing of 'out of order' event, with following error: Timestamp below last timeslice flush 0x5733a8 [0x28]: failed to process type: 3 I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU (mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the data after other CPUs data were already stored. This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory pressure.

perf tools: Make CPUINFO_PROC an array to support different kernel versions

2014-10-29T12:27:36+00:00

After kernel 3.7 (commit b4b8f770eb10a1bccaf8aa0ec1956e2dd7ed1e0a), /proc/cpuinfo replaces 'Processor' to 'model name'. This patch makes CPUINFO_PROC to an array and provides two choices for ARM, makes it compatible for different kernel version. v1 -> v2: minor changes as suggested by Namhyung Kim: - Doesn't pass @h and @evlist to __write_cpudesc; - Coding style fix. v2 -> v3: - Rebase: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414115126-7479-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf callchain: Use global caching provided by libunwind

2014-10-29T12:25:22+00:00

The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and per-thread. As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd sufficient to use global caching. This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file. Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.
