2022-05-26perf record: Enable off-cpu analysis with BPFNamhyung Kim1-0/+10
Add --off-cpu option to enable the off-cpu profiling with BPF. It'd use a bpf_output event and rename it to "offcpu-time". Samples will be synthesized at the end of the record session using data from a BPF map which contains the aggregated off-cpu time at context switches. So it needs root privilege to get the off-cpu profiling. Each sample will have a separate user stacktrace so it will skip kernel threads. The sample ip will be set from the stacktrace and other sample data will be updated accordingly. Currently it only handles some basic sample types. The sample timestamp is set to a dummy value just not to bother with other events during the sorting. So it has a very big initial value and increase it on processing each samples. Good thing is that it can be used together with regular profiling like cpu cycles. If you don't want to that, you can use a dummy event to enable off-cpu profiling only. Example output: $ sudo perf record --off-cpu perf bench sched messaging -l 1000 $ sudo perf report --stdio --call-graph=no # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 41K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 42137343851 ... # Samples: 1K of event 'offcpu-time' # Event count (approx.): 587990831640 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... .................. ......................... # 81.66% 0.00% sched-messaging libc-2.33.so [.] __libc_start_main 81.66% 0.00% sched-messaging perf [.] cmd_bench 81.66% 0.00% sched-messaging perf [.] main 81.66% 0.00% sched-messaging perf [.] run_builtin 81.43% 0.00% sched-messaging perf [.] bench_sched_messaging 40.86% 40.86% sched-messaging libpthread-2.33.so [.] __read 37.66% 37.66% sched-messaging libpthread-2.33.so [.] __write 2.91% 2.91% sched-messaging libc-2.33.so [.] __poll ... As you can see it spent most of off-cpu time in read and write in bench_sched_messaging(). The --call-graph=no was added just to make the output concise here. It uses perf hooks facility to control BPF program during the record session rather than adding new BPF/off-cpu specific calls.

2022-05-23perf intel-pt: Add guest_code supportAdrian Hunter1-0/+70
A common case for KVM test programs is that the test program acts as the hypervisor, creating, running and destroying the virtual machine, and providing the guest object code from its own object code. In this case, the VM is not running an OS, but only the functions loaded into it by the hypervisor test program, and conveniently, loaded at the same virtual addresses. To support that, a new option "--guest-code" has been added in previous patches. In this patch, add support also to Intel PT. In particular, ensure guest_code thread is set up before attempting to walk object code or synthesize samples. Example: # perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/cyc/ -- tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/kvm/tsc_msrs_test [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.280 MB perf.data ] #

2022-03-22perf script: Add 'brstackinsnlen' for branch stacksKan Liang1-2/+6
When analyzing with 'perf script', it's useful to understand the captured instruction and the next sequential instruction. To calculate the address of the next sequential instruction, the length of the captured instruction is required.

2022-02-10perf record: Extend --threads command line optionAlexey Bayduraev1-2/+32
Extend --threads option in perf record command line interface. The option can have a value in the form of masks that specify CPUs to be monitored with data streaming threads and its layout in system topology. The masks can be filtered using CPU mask provided via -C option. The specification value can be user defined list of masks. Masks separated by colon define CPUs to be monitored by one thread and affinity mask of that thread is separated by slash. For example: <cpus mask 1>/<affinity mask 1>:<cpu mask 2>/<affinity mask 2> specifies parallel threads layout that consists of two threads with corresponding assigned CPUs to be monitored. The specification value can be a string e.g. "cpu", "core" or "package" meaning creation of data streaming thread for every CPU or core or package to monitor distinct CPUs or CPUs grouped by core or package. The option provided with no or empty value defaults to per-cpu parallel threads layout creating data streaming thread for every CPU being monitored. Document --threads option syntax and parallel data streaming modes in Documentation/perf-record.txt.

2021-12-07perf docs: Add info on AMD raw event encodingSandipan Das4-8/+45
AMD processors have events with event select codes and unit masks larger than a byte. The core PMU, for example, uses 12-bit event select codes split between bits 0-7 and 32-35 of the PERF_CTL MSRs as can be seen from /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/cpu/format/*. The Processor Programming Reference (PPR) lists the event codes as unified 12-bit hexadecimal values instead and the split between the bits is not apparent to someone who is not aware of the layout of the PERF_CTL MSRs. 8-bit event select codes continue to work as the layout matches that of the PERF_CTL MSRs i.e. bits 0-7 for event select and 8-15 for unit mask. This adds more details in the perf man pages about using /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/*/format/* for determining the correct raw event encoding scheme. E.g. the "op_cache_hit_miss.op_cache_hit" event with code 0x28f and umask 0x03 can be programmed using its symbolic name as: $ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e op_cache_hit_miss.op_cache_hit sleep 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 4 size 128 config 0x20000038f sample_type IDENTIFIER read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING disabled 1 inherit 1 enable_on_exec 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ [...] One might use a simple eventsel+umask combination based on what the current man pages say and incorrectly program the event as: $ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e r0328f sleep 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 4 size 128 config 0x328f sample_type IDENTIFIER read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING disabled 1 inherit 1 enable_on_exec 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ [...] When it should have been based on the format from sysfs: $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event config:0-7,32-35 $ sudo perf --debug perf-event-open stat -e r20000038f sleep 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 4 size 128 config 0x20000038f sample_type IDENTIFIER read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING disabled 1 inherit 1 enable_on_exec 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ [...] Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Ananth Narayan <ananth.narayan@amd.com> Cc: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Cc: Robert Richter <rrichter@amd.com> Cc: Santosh Shukla <santosh.shukla@amd.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211123084613.243792-1-sandipan.das@amd.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2021-10-27perf intel-pt: Support itrace A option to approximate IPCAdrian Hunter1-0/+10
Normally, for cycle-acccurate mode, IPC values are an exact number of instructions and cycles. Due to the granularity of timestamps, that happens only when a CYC packet correlates to the event. Support the itrace 'A' option, to use instead, the number of cycles associated with the current timestamp. This provides IPC information for every change of timestamp, but at the expense of accuracy. Due to the granularity of timestamps, the actual number of cycles increases even though the cycles reported does not. The number of instructions is known, but if IPC is reported, cycles can be too low and so IPC is too high. Note that inaccuracy decreases as the period of sampling increases i.e. if the number of cycles is too low by a small amount, that becomes less significant if the number of cycles is large. Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with dlfilter-show-cycles.so to provide higher granularity cycle information.

2021-10-25perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_IDAdrian Hunter1-1/+6
Originally, software only supported redirecting at most one PEBS event to Intel PT (PEBS-via-PT) because it was not able to differentiate one event from another. To overcome that, add support for the PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID side-band event. Committer notes: Cast the pointer arg to for_each_set_bit() to (unsigned long *), to fix the build on 32-bit systems.

2021-10-08perf kmem: Improve man page for record optionsIan Rogers1-5/+8
Since: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200708183919.4141023-1-irogers@google.com/ The output option works for 'perf kmem', however, it must appear after 'record'. This is different to 'stat' where '-i' for the input must appear before. Try to capture this complication in the man page.
