* perf: Pass protection and flags bits through mmap2 interfacePeter Zijlstra2014-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The mmap2 interface was missing the protection and flags bits needed to accurately determine if a mmap memory area was shared or private and if it was readable or not.

* perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm eventsAdrian Hunter2014-06-061-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vince noticed that we test the (unsigned long) flags field against an (unsigned int) constant. This would allow setting the high bits on 64bit platforms and not get an error. There is nothing that uses the high bits, so it should be entirely harmless, but we don't want userspace to accidentally set them anyway, so fix the constants.

* | perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()Yann Droneaud2014-01-121-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

* | perf: Add generic transaction flagsAndi Kleen2013-10-041-1/+24
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE.

* perf: Fix capabilities bitfield compatibility in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'Peter Zijlstra2013-09-201-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page:: cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially fixed by: 860f085b74e9 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'") The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel. To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained, by iterating the ABI the following way: - Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit. - Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero without having to check the kernel version. - Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality: cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */ cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */ cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */ - Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it accidentally with old assumptions. The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well. Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by Adrian Hunter.

* perf: make events stream always parsableAdrian Hunter2013-08-291-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

* perf/core: Add weighted samplesAndi Kleen2013-04-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added. Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracepoints. This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64-bit weight value.
