2012-03-28mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vmDave Young6-1/+363
hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to tools/testing/selftests. Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this. They all need firstly setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs. So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the three test programs and check the return value of them. Changes to original code including below: a. add run_vmtests script b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes. c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build the targets before trying to execute them] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Documentation/vm/ no longer has a Makefile.

2012-03-21ktest: Allow a test to override REBOOT_ON_SUCCESSSteven Rostedt1-2/+10
The option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS is global, and will have the machine reboot the the box if all tests are successful. But a test may not want the machine to reboot, and perhaps have the kernel it loaded be used to install the next kernel. Or the last test may set up a kernel that the user may want to look at. In this case, the user could have the global option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS be true, but if a test is defined to run at the end, that test can override the global option and keep the kernel it installed for the user to log in with.

2012-03-21ktest: Add SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL optionSteven Rostedt2-7/+33
Currently the option used to scp both the modules to the target as well as the kernel image are the same (SCP_TO_TARGET). But some embedded boards may require them to be different. The modules may need to be put directly on the board, but the kernel image may need to go to a tftpserver. Add the option SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL that will allow the user to change the config so that they may have the modules and image got to different machines.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (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.

2012-03-14perf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGVAnton Blanchard1-0/+3
I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV. What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this. The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what went wrong? The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters written: ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level); ... ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name); Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the number of characters that would have been written if there was enough space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a lot of stack to trample. This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator. I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

2012-03-13perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()Stephane Eranian1-1/+1
This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched: $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ] Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more. The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n terminator.

2012-03-12perf report: Fix annotate double quit issue in branch view modeStephane Eranian1-7/+31
This patch fixes perf report to not go back two levels when pressing the 'q' key while annotating in branch view mode. When pressing 'q' in annotate mode and if the branch source and target belong to different functions, perf now brings up the annotation popup menu again to offer the option to annotate the other branch source or target. As part of the code restructuring in perf_evsel__hists_browse() we also fix a memory leak on options[] in case of error.

This patch chanegs the logic of the -b, --branch-stack options of perf record. Based on users' request, the patch provides a default filter mode with the -b (or --branch-any) option. With the option, any type of taken branches is sampled. 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>
2012-03-09perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIsStephane Eranian1-28/+94
This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data files. 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.

2012-03-09perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI revStephane Eranian2-7/+50
This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size, i.e., a different ABI version. 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.

2012-03-09perf report: Add support for taken branch samplingRoberto Agostino Vitillo2-9/+105
This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. 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.
