* Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds2012-03-2074-710/+2632

(modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as there were also lots of other improvements * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (120 commits) perf report: Fix annotate double quit issue in branch view mode perf report: Remove duplicate annotate choice in branch view mode perf/x86: Prettify pmu config literals perf report: Enable TUI in branch view mode perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag perf record: Provide default branch stack sampling mode option perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs perf tools: Fix ABI compatibility bug in print_event_desc() perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev perf: Add ABI reference sizes perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch perf tools: Add code to support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK x86/kprobes: Split out optprobe related code to kprobes-opt.c x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently x86/kprobes: Fix instruction recovery on optimized path perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch perf: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* when not supported perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs ...

With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any valid combination of branch types and privilege levels if supported by the underlying hardware. The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any. $ perf record -b foo or: $ perf record --branch-filter any foo For more specific filtering: $ perf record --branch-filter ind_call,u foo Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: ravitillo@lbl.gov Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1331246868-19905-2-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| | * perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIsStephane Eranian2012-03-091-28/+94

Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE signature. For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but without comparing their header->attr_size with the tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era. We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file format". This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.

| | * perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI revStephane Eranian2012-03-092-7/+50

The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than what it knows about. This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is skipped.

| | * perf report: Add support for taken branch samplingRoberto Agostino Vitillo2012-03-092-9/+105

In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected given the code. It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply not using its -b option. It is possible to sort on branch related columns: - dso_from, symbol_from - dso_to, symbol_to - mispredict Signed-off-by: Roberto Agostino Vitillo <ravitillo@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-14-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If perf_evsel__open() failed, the errno was set and returned properly. However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing different error message and getting confused. Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a python expert :) Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329966816-23175-1-git-send-email-namhyung.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

In system-wide mode, the PID passed to perf_event_open() must be -1 and it was 0. That caused the kernel to setup a per-process event on PID:0. Consequently, the number of samples captured does not correspond to the requested measurement. The following one-liner fixes the problem for me with or without -C. I would also suggest to change the malloc() to something that matches the struct definition. thread_map->map[] is declared as int map[] and not pid_t map[]. If map[] can only contain pids, then change the struct definition.

| * | perf tools: fix endianness detection in perf.dataStephane Eranian2012-02-091-13/+64

This field represents sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) as known to perf record. If the sizes do not match, then perf tries the byte-swapped version. If they match, then the tool assumes a different endianness. The issue with the approach is that it assumes the size of perf_event_attr always has to match between perf record and perf report. However, the kernel perf_event ABI is extensible. New fields can be added to struct perf_event_attr. Consequently, it is not possible to use attr_size to detect endianness. This patch takes another approach by using the magic number written at the beginning of the perf.data file to detect endianness. The magic number is an eight-byte signature. It's primary purpose is to identify (signature) a perf.data file. But it could also be used to encode the endianness. The patch introduces a new value for this signature. The key difference is that the signature is written differently in the file depending on the endianness. Thus, by comparing the signature from the file with the tool's own signature it is possible to detect endianness. The new signature is "PERFILE2". Backward compatiblity with existing perf.data file is ensured.

| * | perf doc: Allow producing documentation in a specified output directoryFranck Bui-Huu2012-02-061-34/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we can put the object files in a different directory by using 'O=' comand line argument. However the generated documentation files don't honor this directive, This patch fixes that. It's been tested for man target but the others seems currently broken so no tests have been done on them so far.

| * | perf tool: Fix perf stack to non executable on x86_64Jiri Olsa2012-02-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By adding following objects: bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack. The reason was that above objects are assembler sourced and are missing the GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX. Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned objects, with all flags disabled, thus omiting those objects from linker stack flags decision.
