2011-07-21perf tools, x86: Fix 32-bit compile on 64-bit systemDavid Ahern1-1/+4
Builds for 32-bit perf binaries on a 64-bit host currently fail with this error: [...] bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages: bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:29: Error: bad register name `%rdi' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:34: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `movs' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:50: Error: bad register name `%rdi' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:61: Error: bad register name `%rdi' ... The problem is the detection of the host arch without considering passed in flags. This change fixes 32-bit builds via: make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m32 and 64-bit builds still reference the memcpy_64.S.

2011-07-21perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] arrayJiri Olsa1-5/+8
Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events. The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like: # ./perf stat -e krava ls The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to segfault. Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache event.

2011-07-15perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modulesMasami Hiramatsu3-12/+49
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe. If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe expects the module is offline. This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars. E.g) # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \ -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache" Add new events: probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072751.6528.10230.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-07-05perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU rangeAnton Blanchard8-0/+102
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>. v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110704215750.11647eb9@kryten Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice if we request a parent filter (-p foo). We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p" option.

2011-06-16tools/perf: Fix static build of perf toolMathias Krause1-1/+1
To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in the long run without the need to keep track of transitive library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

2011-06-14rcu: Use softirq to address performance regressionShaohua Li1-0/+1
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

2011-06-03perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalidArnaldo Carvalho de Melo9-44/+74
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option. This allows display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

2011-06-02perf script: "sym" field really means show IP dataDavid Ahern4-38/+58
Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols, so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip" option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is shown.

The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script. This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and if the second command fails, only the first command's return code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes this.
