2025-02-28perf lock: Report owner stack in usermodeChun-Tse Shao2-7/+71
This patch parses `owner_lock_stat` into a RB tree, enabling ordered reporting of owner lock statistics with stack traces. It also updates the documentation for the `-o` option in contention mode, decouples `-o` from `-t`, and issues a warning to inform users about the new behavior of `-ov`. Example output: $ sudo ~/linux/tools/perf/perf lock con -abvo -Y mutex-spin -E3 perf bench sched pipe ... contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller 171 1.55 ms 20.26 us 9.06 us mutex pipe_read+0x57 0xffffffffac6318e7 pipe_read+0x57 0xffffffffac623862 vfs_read+0x332 0xffffffffac62434b ksys_read+0xbb 0xfffffffface604b2 do_syscall_64+0x82 0xffffffffad00012f entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76 36 193.71 us 15.27 us 5.38 us mutex pipe_write+0x50 0xffffffffac631ee0 pipe_write+0x50 0xffffffffac6241db vfs_write+0x3bb 0xffffffffac6244ab ksys_write+0xbb 0xfffffffface604b2 do_syscall_64+0x82 0xffffffffad00012f entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76 4 51.22 us 16.47 us 12.80 us mutex do_epoll_wait+0x24d 0xffffffffac691f0d do_epoll_wait+0x24d 0xffffffffac69249b do_epoll_pwait.part.0+0xb 0xffffffffac693ba5 __x64_sys_epoll_pwait+0x95 0xfffffffface604b2 do_syscall_64+0x82 0xffffffffad00012f entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76 === owner stack trace === 3 31.24 us 15.27 us 10.41 us mutex pipe_read+0x348 0xffffffffac631bd8 pipe_read+0x348 0xffffffffac623862 vfs_read+0x332 0xffffffffac62434b ksys_read+0xbb 0xfffffffface604b2 do_syscall_64+0x82 0xffffffffad00012f entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76 ...

2025-02-28perf lock: Retrieve owner callstack in bpf programChun-Tse Shao1-9/+203
This implements per-callstack aggregation of lock owners in addition to per-thread. The owner callstack is captured using `bpf_get_task_stack()` at `contention_begin()` and it also adds a custom stackid function for the owner stacks to be compared easily. The owner info is kept in a hash map using lock addr as a key to handle multiple waiters for the same lock. At `contention_end()`, it updates the owner lock stat based on the info that was saved at `contention_begin()`. If there are more waiters, it'd update the owner pid to itself as `contention_end()` means it gets the lock now. But it also needs to check the return value of the lock function in case task was killed by a signal or something.

2025-02-27perf cpumap: Reduce cpu size from int to int16_tIan Rogers2-22/+48
Fewer than 32k logical CPUs are currently supported by perf. A cpumap is indexed by an integer (see perf_cpu_map__cpu) yielding a perf_cpu that wraps a 4-byte int for the logical CPU - the wrapping is done deliberately to avoid confusing a logical CPU with an index into a cpumap. Using a 4-byte int within the perf_cpu is larger than required so this patch reduces it to the 2-byte int16_t. For a cpumap containing 16 entries this will reduce the array size from 64 to 32 bytes. For very large servers with lots of logical CPUs the size savings will be greater.

2025-02-27perf pmu: Don't double count common sysfs and json eventsJames Clark2-3/+9
After pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is called, perf_pmu__num_events() returns an incorrect value that double counts common events and doesn't match the actual count of events in the alias list. This is because after 'cpu_aliases_added == true', the number of events returned is 'sysfs_aliases + cpu_json_aliases'. But when adding 'case EVENT_SRC_SYSFS' events, 'sysfs_aliases' and 'cpu_json_aliases' are both incremented together, failing to account that these ones overlap and only add a single item to the list. Fix it by adding another counter for overlapping events which doesn't influence 'cpu_json_aliases'. There doesn't seem to be a current issue because it's used in perf list before pmu_add_cpu_aliases() so the correct value is returned. Other uses in tests may also miss it for other reasons like only looking at uncore events. However it's marked as a fixes commit in case any new fix with new uses of perf_pmu__num_events() is backported.

2025-02-27perf pmu: Dynamically allocate tool PMUJames Clark3-14/+13
perf_pmus__destroy() treats all PMUs as allocated and free's them so we can't have any static PMUs that are added to the PMU lists. Fix it by allocating the tool PMU in the same way as the others. Current users of the tool PMU already use find_pmu() and not perf_pmus__tool_pmu(), so rename the function to add 'new' to avoid it being misused in the future. perf_pmus__fake_pmu() can remain as static as it's not added to the PMU lists.

2025-02-27perf probe: Pick the correct dwarf die while adding probe pointsAthira Rajeev2-3/+19
Perf probe on vfs_fstatat fails as below on a powerpc system $ ./perf probe -nf --max-probes=512 -a 'vfs_fstatat $params' Segmentation fault (core dumped) This is observed while running perftool-testsuite_probe testcase.

2025-02-27perf ftrace latency: variable histogram bucketsGabriele Monaco3-4/+10
The max-latency value can make the histogram smaller, but not larger, we have a maximum of 22 buckets and specifying a max-latency that would require more buckets has no effect. Dynamically allocate the buckets and compute the bucket number from the max latency as (max-min) / range + 2 If the maximum is not specified, we still set the bucket number to 22 and compute the maximum accordingly. Fail if the maximum is smaller than min+range, this way we make sure we always have 3 buckets: those below min, those above max and one in the middle. Since max-latency is not available in log2 mode, always use 22 buckets.

2025-02-21perf parse-events: Tidy name token matchingIan Rogers1-19/+32
Prior to commit 70c90e4a6b2f ("perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs before parsing") names (generally event names) excluded hyphen (minus) symbols as the formation of legacy names with hyphens was handled in the yacc code. That commit allowed hyphens supposedly making name_minus unnecessary. However, changing name_minus to name has issues in the term config tokens as then name ends up having priority over numbers and name allows matching numbers since commit 5ceb57990bf4 ("perf parse: Allow tracepoint names to start with digits "). It is also permissable for a name to match with a colon (':') in it when its in a config term list. To address this rename name_minus to term_name, make the pattern match name's except for the colon, add number matching into the config term region with a higher priority than name matching. This addresses an inconsistency and allows greater matching for names inside of term lists, for example, they may start with a number. Rename name_tag to quoted_name and update comments and helper functions to avoid str detecting quoted strings which was already done by the lexer.

2025-02-20perf tools: Improve startup time by reducing unnecessary stat() callsKrzysztof Łopatowski1-6/+12
When testing perf trace on NixOS, I noticed significant startup delays: - `ls`: ~2ms - `strace ls`: ~10ms - `perf trace ls`: ~550ms Profiling showed that 51% of the time is spent reading files, 26% in loading BPF programs, and 11% in `newfstatat`. This patch optimizes module path exploration by avoiding `stat()` calls unless necessary. For filesystems that do not implement `d_type` (DT_UNKNOWN), it falls back to the old behavior. See `readdir(3)` for details. This reduces `perf trace ls` time to ~500ms. A more thorough startup optimization based on command parameters would be ideal, but that is a larger effort.

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory.

The existing logic would disable uniquification on an evlist or enable it per evsel, this is unfortunate as uniquification is most needed when events have the same name and so the whole evlist must be considered. Change the initial disable uniquify on an evlist processing to also set a needs_uniquify flag, for cases like the matching event names. This must be done as an initial pass as uniquification of an event name will change the behavior of the check. Keep the per counter uniquification but now only uniquify event names when the needs_uniquify flag is set.

Counter merging was added in commit 942c5593393d ("perf stat: Add perf_stat_merge_counters()"), however, it merges events with the same name on different PMUs regardless of whether the different PMUs are actually of the same type (ie they differ only in the suffix on the PMU). For hwmon events there may be a temp1 event on every PMU, but the PMU names are all unique and don't differ just by a suffix. The merging is over eager and will merge all the hwmon counters together meaning an aggregated and very large temp1 value is shown. The same would be true for say cache events and memory controller events where the PMUs differ but the event names are the same. Fix the problem by correctly saying two PMUs alias when they differ only by suffix. Note, there is an overlap with evsel's merged_stat with aggregation and the evsel's metric_leader where aggregation happens for metrics.

This patch aims to fix the issue described above. The E2BIG problem from clang-15 to clang-16 is cause by this line: } else if (size < 0 && size >= -6) { /* buffer */ Specifically this check: size < 0. seems like clang generates a cool optimization to this sign check that breaks things. Making 'size' s64, and use } else if ((int)size < 0 && size >= -6) { /* buffer */ Solves the problem. This is some Hogwarts magic. And the unbounded access of clang-12 and clang-14 (clang-13 works this time) is fixed by making variable 'aug_size' s64. As for this: -if (aug_size > TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF) - aug_size = TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF; +aug_size = args->args[index] > TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF ? TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF : args->args[index]; This makes the BPF skel generated by clang-18 work. Yes, new clangs introduce problems too. Sorry, I only know that it works, but I don't know how it works. I'm not an expert in the BPF verifier. I really hope this is not a kernel version issue, as that would make the test case (kernel_nr) * (clang_nr), a true horror story. I will test it on more kernel versions in the future.

2025-01-18perf annotate: Prefer passing evsel to evsel->core.idxIan Rogers2-26/+26
An evsel idx may not be stable due to sorting, evlist removal, etc. Try to reduce it being part of APIs by explicitly passing the evsel in annotate code. Internally the code just reads evsel->core.idx so behavior is unchanged.

2025-01-17perf hist: Fix bogus profiles when filters are enabledDmitry Vyukov1-1/+10
When a filtered column is not present in the sort order, profiles become arbitrary broken. Filtered and non-filtered entries are collapsed together, and the filtered-by field ends up with a random value (either from a filtered or non-filtered entry). If we end up with filtered entry/value, then the whole collapsed entry will be filtered out and will be missing in the profile. If we end up with non-filtered entry/value, then the overhead value will be wrongly larger (include some subset of filtered out samples). This leads to very confusing profiles. The problem is hard to notice, and if noticed hard to understand. If the filter is for a single value, then it can be fixed by adding the corresponding field to the sort order (provided user understood the problem). But if the filter is for multiple values, it's impossible to fix b/c there is no concept of binary sorting based on filter predicate (we want to group all non-filtered values in one bucket, and all filtered values in another). Examples of affected commands: perf report --tid=123 perf report --sort overhead,symbol --comm=foo,bar Fix this by considering filtered status as the highest priority sort/collapse predicate. As a side effect this effectively adds a new feature of showing profile where several lines are combined based on arbitrary filtering predicate. For example, showing symbols from binaries foo and bar combined together, but not from other binaries; or showing combined overhead of several particular threads.

To allow for setting a variable from some other tool, like with the "wallclock" patchset needs to allow the user to opt-in to having that key in the sort order for 'perf report'.
