v3 cover perf tools: Introduce an abstraction for AUX Area and Instruction Tracing

Hi

Here is V3 patches for the introduction of an abstraction for using the AUX area and Instruction tracing.

The patches can also be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/users/ahunter/linux-perf.git

An example perf.data file and build id archive can be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/~ahunter/tfr/

There is also a tar of the 3 most relevant files with debugging symbols. These need to be placed in under the correct paths in /usr/lib/debug to get symbols.

Changes in V3:

New patch:
perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap

Move some code under arch:
perf tools: Add Intel PT support
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Updated documentation:
perf report: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Patches already applied:
perf header: Add AUX area tracing feature
perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support
perf record: Extend -m option for AUX area tracing mmap pages perf tools: Add a user event for AUX area tracing errors
perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data perf session: Add instruction tracing options
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for queuing AUX area tracing data perf auxtrace: Add a heap for sorting AUX area tracing queues perf auxtrace: Add processing for AUX area tracing events
perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for caching
perf tools: Add member to struct dso for an instruction cache perf script: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf inject: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags
perf tools: Add aux_watermark member of struct perf_event_attr

Changes in V2:

Get rid of MIN()
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing

Intel BTS can be used on most recent Intel CPUs. Intel PT is available on Broadwell.

Examples:

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS userspace only

perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u ls perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record bts-ls --per-thread -e intel_bts// -- ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report bts-ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script bts-ls

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT userspace only

perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt-ls -e intel_pt// -- ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt-ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script pt-ls

The abstraction has two separate aspects:
1. recording AUX area data
2. processing AUX area data

Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying the data into the perf.data file. The buffer is an AUX area buffer. The data is written preceded by a new user event PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE. The data is too big to fit in the event but follows immediately afterward. Session processing has to skip to get to the next event header in a similar fashion to the existing PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event. The main recording patches are:

perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support

Processing consists of providing hooks in session processing to enable a decoder to see all the events and deliver synthesized events transparently into the event stream. The main processing patch is:

perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data

PATCH v3 1/25 perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap

Reference counting of the mmap buffer does not work correctly when there is an AUX area mmap also.

In snapshot mode it is not easy to know if the AUX area mmap buffer contains usefull information. Equally the evlist does not know if the recording is in sanpshot mode anyway.

Consequently, for now just assume the AUX area mmap always has data, which will just cause the mmap buffer to remain mmapped for the duration of the recording.

PATCH v3 2/25 perf script: Always allow fields 'addr' and 'cpu' for auxtrace

In reply to Adrian Hunter

If a file contains AUX area tracing data then always allow fields 'addr' and 'cpu' to be selected as options for perf script. This is necessary because AUX area decoding may synthesize events with that information.

PATCH v3 4/25 perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index

In reply to Adrian Hunter

Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file.

perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events altogether.

AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND.

By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual.

The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file. A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder can queue all the AUX area data in advance using auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some custom manner.

so the total nr is only used to double check the data size is correct, it could be omited and you could use just the size of the section.. also the auxtrace_index__write would be shorter of one loop

I would like to have it as a check that the file structure is the way it is meant to be.

Also I will change it to " > size" so that more stuff can be added to the section in the future.

as per auxtrace_mmap__read it looks like we store PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE event with:

	ev.auxtrace.header.size = sizeof(ev.auxtrace);

and it's followed with more data with size:

	ev.auxtrace.size = size + padding;

so why the check for 'event->header.size != sz' ?

It checks the consistency of the file structure.

But it seems to me that the previous check could be:

	event->header.size < sizeof(struct auxtrace_event)

which would allow for the event being made bigger in a backward compatible way.

Re: [PATCH V3 05/25] perf tools: Hit all build ids when AUX area tracing

Quoted 18 lines · Adrian Hunter

We need to include all buildids when a perf.data file contains AUX area tracing data because we do not decode the trace for that purpose because it would take too long.

when there's auxtrace in the perf.data, all the dsos would have hits (as per builtin-record.c change below) and be display anyway, so it seems we dont need this hunk?

PATCH v3 6/25 perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing

In reply to Adrian Hunter

Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude compiling support for AUX area tracing. Support for both recording and processing is excluded and by implication any future additions such as Intel PT and Intel BTS will also not be compiled in with this option.

PATCH v3 9/25 perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START

In reply to Adrian Hunter

Add support for the PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START event type. This event can be used to determine the pid and tid that are running when Instruction Tracing starts. Generally that information would come from a sched_switch event but, at the start, no sched_switch events may yet have been recorded.

PATCH v3 18/25 perf tools: Take Intel PT into use

In reply to Adrian Hunter

To record an AUX area, the weak function
auxtrace_record__init() must be implemented.

Equally to decode an AUX area, the
AUX area tracing type must be added to the
perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function.

This patch makes those two changes plus hooks
up default config for the intel_pt PMU. Also
some brief documentation is provided for
using the tools with intel_pt.

+Intel Processor Trace
+=====================
+
+perf record
+===========
+
+new event
+---------
+
+The Intel PT kernel driver creates a new PMU for Intel PT.  PMU events are
+selected by providing the PMU name followed by the "config" separated by slashes.
+An enhancement has been made to allow default "config" e.g. the option
+
+	-e intel_pt//
+
+will use a default config value.  Currently that is the same as
+
+	-e intel_pt/tsc,noretcomp=0/
+
+which is the same as
+
+	-e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
+
+The config terms are listed in /sys/devices/intel_pt/format.  They are bit
+fields within the config member of the struct perf_event_attr which is
+passed to the kernel by the perf_event_open system call.  They correspond to bit
+fields in the IA32_RTIT_CTL MSR.  Here is a list of them and their definitions:
+
+	$ for f in `ls /sys/devices/intel_pt/format`;do
+	> echo $f
+	> cat /sys/devices/intel_pt/format/$f
+	> done
+	noretcomp
+	config:11
+	tsc
+	config:10
+
+Note that the default config must be overridden for each term i.e.
+
+	-e intel_pt/noretcomp=0/
+
+is the same as:
+
+	-e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
+
+So, to disable TSC packets use:
+
+	-e intel_pt/tsc=0/
+
+It is also possible to specify the config value explicitly:
+
+	-e intel_pt/config=0x400/
+
+Note that, as with all events, the event is suffixed with event modifiers:
+
+	u	userspace
+	k	kernel
+	h	hypervisor
+	G	guest
+	H	host
+	p	precise ip
+
+'h', 'G' and 'H' are for virtualization which is not supported by Intel PT.
+'p' is also not relevant to Intel PT.  So only options 'u' and 'k' are
+meaningful for Intel PT.
+
+perf_event_attr is displayed if the -vv option is used e.g.
+
+	------------------------------------------------------------
+	perf_event_attr:
+	type                             6
+	size                             112
+	config                           0x400
+	{ sample_period, sample_freq }   1
+	sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER
+	read_format                      ID
+	disabled                         1
+	inherit                          1
+	exclude_kernel                   1
+	exclude_hv                       1
+	enable_on_exec                   1
+	sample_id_all                    1
+	------------------------------------------------------------
+	sys_perf_event_open: pid 31104  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
+	sys_perf_event_open: pid 31104  cpu 1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
+	sys_perf_event_open: pid 31104  cpu 2  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
+	sys_perf_event_open: pid 31104  cpu 3  group_fd -1  flags 0x8
+	------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+new snapshot option
+-------------------
+
+To select snapshot mode a new option has been added:
+
+	-S
+
+Optionally it can be followed by the snapshot size e.g.
+
+	-S0x100000
+
+The default snapshot size is the auxtrace mmap size.  If neither auxtrace mmap size
+nor snapshot size is specified, then the default is 4MiB for privileged users
+(or if /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid < 0), 128KiB for unprivileged users.
+If an unprivileged user does not specify mmap pages, the mmap pages will be
+reduced as described in the 'new auxtrace mmap size option' section below.
+
+The snapshot size is displayed if the option -vv is used e.g.
+
+	Intel PT snapshot size: %zu
+
+
+new auxtrace mmap size option
+---------------------------
+
+Intel PT buffer size is specified by an addition to the -m option e.g.
+
+	-m,16
+
+selects a buffer size of 16 pages i.e. 64KiB.
+
+Note that the existing functionality of -m is unchanged.  The auxtrace mmap size
+is specified by the optional addition of a comma and the value.
+
+The default auxtrace mmap size for Intel PT is 4MiB/page_size for privileged users
+(or if /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid < 0), 128KiB for unprivileged users.
+If an unprivileged user does not specify mmap pages, the mmap pages will be
+reduced from the default 512KiB/page_size to 256KiB/page_size, otherwise the
+user is likely to get an error as they exceed their mlock limit (Max locked
+memory as shown in /proc/self/limits).  Note that perf does not count the first
+512KiB (actually /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb minus 1 page) per cpu
+against the mlock limit so an unprivileged user is allowed 512KiB per cpu plus
+their mlock limit (which defaults to 64KiB but is not multiplied by the number
+of cpus).
+
+In full-trace mode, powers of two are allowed for buffer size, with a minimum
+size of 2 pages.  In snapshot mode, it is the same but the minimum size is
+1 page.
+
+The mmap size and auxtrace mmap size are displayed if the -vv option is used e.g.
+
+	mmap length 528384
+	auxtrace mmap length 4198400
+
+
+Intel PT modes of operation
+---------------------------
+
+Intel PT can be used in 2 modes:
+	full-trace mode
+	snapshot mode
+
+Full-trace mode traces continuously e.g.
+
+	perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
+
+Snapshot mode captures the available data when a signal is sent e.g.
+
+	perf record -v -e intel_pt//u -S ./loopy 1000000000 &
+	[1] 11435
+	kill -USR2 11435
+	Recording AUX area tracing snapshot
+
+Note that the signal sent is SIGUSR2.
+Note that "Recording AUX area tracing snapshot" is displayed because the -v
+option is used.
+
+None of the 3 modes can be used together.
+
+
+Buffer handling
+---------------
+
+There may be buffer limitations (i.e. single ToPa entry) which means that actual
+buffer sizes are limited to powers of 2 up to 4MiB (MAX_ORDER).  In order to
+provide other sizes, and in particular an arbitrarily large size, multiple
+buffers are logically concatenated.  However an interrupt must be used to switch
+between buffers.  That has two potential problems:
+	a) the interrupt may not be handled in time so that the current buffer
+	becomes full and some trace data is lost.
+	b) the interrupts may slow the system and affect the performance
+	results.
+
+If trace data is lost, the driver sets 'truncated' in the PERF_RECORD_AUX event
+which the tools report as an error.
+
+In full-trace mode, the driver waits for data to be copied out before allowing
+the (logical) buffer to wrap-around.  If data is not copied out quickly enough,
+again 'truncated' is set in the PERF_RECORD_AUX event.  If the driver has to
+wait, the intel_pt event gets disabled.  Because it is difficult to know when
+that happens, perf tools always re-enable the intel_pt event after copying out
+data.
+
+
+Intel PT and build ids
+----------------------
+
+By default "perf record" post-processes the event stream to find all build ids
+for executables for all addresses sampled.  Deliberately, Intel PT is not
+decoded for that purpose (it would take too long).  Instead the build ids for
+all executables encountered (due to mmap, comm or task events) are included
+in the perf.data file.
+
+To see buildids included in the perf.data file use the command:
+
+	perf buildid-list
+
+If the perf.data file contains Intel PT data, that is the same as:
+
+	perf buildid-list --with-hits
+
+
+Snapshot mode and event disabling
+---------------------------------
+
+In order to make a snapshot, the intel_pt event is disabled using an IOCTL,
+namely PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.  However doing that can also disable the
+collection of side-band information.  In order to prevent that,  a dummy
+software event has been introduced that permits tracking events (like mmaps) to
+continue to be recorded while intel_pt is disabled.  That is important to ensure
+there is complete side-band information to allow the decoding of subsequent
+snapshots.
+
+A test has been created for that.  To find the test:
+
+	perf test list
+	...
+	23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking
+
+To run the test:
+
+	perf test 23
+	23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking     : Ok
+
+
+perf record modes (nothing new here)
+------------------------------------
+
+perf record essentially operates in one of three modes:
+	per thread
+	per cpu
+	workload only
+
+"per thread" mode is selected by -t or by --per-thread (with -p or -u or just a
+workload).
+"per cpu" is selected by -C or -a.
+"workload only" mode is selected by not using the other options but providing a
+command to run (i.e. the workload).
+
+In per-thread mode an exact list of threads is traced.  There is no inheritance.
+Each thread has its own event buffer.
+
+In per-cpu mode all processes (or processes from the selected cgroup i.e. -G
+option, or processes selected with -p or -u) are traced.  Each cpu has its own
+buffer. Inheritance is allowed.
+
+In workload-only mode, the workload is traced but with per-cpu buffers.
+Inheritance is allowed.  Note that you can now trace a workload in per-thread
+mode by using the --per-thread option.
+
+
+Privileged vs non-privileged users
+----------------------------------
+
+Unless /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, unprivileged users
+have memory limits imposed upon them.  That affects what buffer sizes they can
+have as outlined above.
+
+Unless /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, unprivileged users are
+not permitted to use tracepoints which means there is insufficient side-band
+information to decode Intel PT in per-cpu mode, and potentially workload-only
+mode too if the workload creates new processes.
+
+Note also, that to use tracepoints, read-access to debugfs is required.  So if
+debugfs is not mounted or the user does not have read-access, it will again not
+be possible to decode Intel PT in per-cpu mode.
+
+
+sched_switch tracepoint
+-----------------------
+
+The sched_switch tracepoint is used to provide side-band data for Intel PT
+decoding.  sched_switch events are automatically added. e.g. the second event
+shown below
+
+	$ perf record -vv -e intel_pt//u uname
+	------------------------------------------------------------
+	perf_event_attr:
+	type                             6

+	Synthesizing auxtrace information
+	Linux
+	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
+	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.042 MB perf.data ]
+
+Note, the sched_switch event is only added if the user is permitted to use it
+and only in per-cpu mode.
+
+Note also, the sched_switch event is only added if TSC packets are requested.
+That is because, in the absence of timing information, the sched_switch events
+cannot be matched against the Intel PT trace.
+
+
+perf script
+===========
+
+By default, perf script will decode trace data found in the perf.data file.
+This can be further controlled by new option --itrace.
+
+
+New AUX area option
+----------------------------
+
+Having no option is the same as
+
+	--itrace
+
+which, in turn, is the same as
+
+	--itrace=ibxe
+
+The letters are:
+
+	i	synthesize "instructions" events
+	b	synthesize "branches" events
+	x	synthesize "transactions" events
+	c	synthesize branches events (calls only)
+	r	synthesize branches events (returns only)
+	e	synthesize tracing error events
+	d	create a debug log
+	g	synthesize a call chain (use with i or x)
+
+"Instructions" events look like they were recorded by "perf record -e
+instructions".
+
+"Branches" events look like they were recorded by "perf record -e branches". "c"
+and "r" can be combined to get calls and returns.
+
+"Transactions" events correspond to the start or end of transactions. The
+'flags' field can be used in perf script to determine whether the event is a
+tranasaction start, commit or abort.
+
+Error events are new.  They show where the decoder lost the trace.  Error events
+are quite important.  Users must know if what they are seeing is a complete
+picture or not.
+
+The "d" option will cause the creation of a file "intel_pt.log" containing all
+decoded packets and instructions.  Note that this option slows down the decoder
+and that the resulting file may be very large.
+
+In addition, the period of the "instructions" event can be specified. e.g.
+
+	--itrace=i10us
+
+sets the period to 10us i.e. one  instruction sample is synthesized for each 10
+microseconds of trace.  Alternatives to "us" are "ms" (milliseconds),
+"ns" (nanoseconds), "t" (TSC ticks) or "i" (instructions).
+
+"ms", "us" and "ns" are converted to TSC ticks.
+
+The timing information included with Intel PT does not give the time of every
+instruction.  Consequently, for the purpose of sampling, the decoder estimates
+the time since the last timing packet based on 1 tick per instruction.  The time
+on the sample is *not* adjusted and reflects the last known value of TSC.
+
+For Intel PT, the default period is 100us.
+
+Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or
+transactions events can be specified. e.g.
+
+	--itrace=ig32
+	--itrace=xg32
+
+To disable trace decoding entirely, use the option --no-itrace.
+
+
+dump option
+-----------
+
+perf script has an option (-D) to "dump" the events i.e. display the binary
+data.
+
+When -D is used, Intel PT packets are displayed.  The packet decoder does not
+pay attention to PSB packets, but just decodes the bytes - so the packets seen
+by the actual decoder may not be identical in places where the data is corrupt.
+One example of that would be when the buffer-switching interrupt has been too
+slow, and the buffer has been filled completely.  In that case, the last packet
+in the buffer might be truncated and immediately followed by a PSB as the trace
+continues in the next buffer.
+
+To disable the display of Intel PT packets, combine the -D option with
+--no-itrace.
+
+
+perf report
+===========
+
+By default, perf report will decode trace data found in the perf.data file.
+This can be further controlled by new option --itrace exactly the same as
+perf script, with the exception that the default is --itrace=ge.
+
+
+perf inject
+===========
+
+perf inject also accepts the --itrace option in which case tracing data is
+removed and replaced with the synthesized events. e.g.
+
+	perf inject --itrace -i perf.data -o perf.data.new

PATCH v3 19/25 perf tools: Allow auxtrace data alignment

In reply to Adrian Hunter

Allow auxtrace data to be a multiple of
something other than page size. That is
needed for BTS where the buffer contains
24-byte records.

+Intel Branch Trace Store
+========================
+
+perf record
+===========
+
+new event
+---------
+
+The Intel BTS kernel driver creates a new PMU for Intel BTS.  The perf record
+option is:
+
+	-e intel_bts//
+
+Currently Intel BTS is limited to per-thread tracing so the --per-thread option
+is also needed.
+
+
+snapshot option
+---------------
+
+The snapshot option is the same as Intel PT (refer Intel PT documentation).
+
+
+auxtrace mmap size option
+-----------------------
+
+The mmap size option is the same as Intel PT (refer Intel PT documentation).
+
+
+perf script
+===========
+
+By default, perf script will decode trace data found in the perf.data file.
+This can be further controlled by option --itrace.  The --itrace option is
+the same as Intel PT (refer Intel PT documentation) except that neither
+"instructions" events nor "transactions" events (and consequently call
+chains) are supported.
+
+To disable trace decoding entirely, use the option --no-itrace.
+
+
+dump option
+-----------
+
+perf script has an option (-D) to "dump" the events i.e. display the binary
+data.
+
+When -D is used, Intel BTS packets are displayed.
+
+To disable the display of Intel BTS packets, combine the -D option with
+--no-itrace.
+
+
+perf report
+===========
+
+By default, perf report will decode trace data found in the perf.data file.
+This can be further controlled by new option --itrace exactly the same as
+perf script.
+
+
+perf inject
+===========
+
+perf inject also accepts the --itrace option in which case tracing data is
+removed and replaced with the synthesized events. e.g.
+
+	perf inject --itrace -i perf.data -o perf.data.new

PATCH v3 23/25 perf tools: Intel PT to always update thread stack trace number

In reply to Adrian Hunter

The enhanced thread stack is used by higher layers but still requires the trace number. The trace number is used to distinguish discontinuous sections of trace (for example from Snapshot mode or Sample mode), which cause the thread stack to be flushed.

Hi

Here is V3 patches for the introduction of an abstraction for using the AUX area and Instruction tracing.

The patches can also be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/users/ahunter/linux-perf.git

Quoted 7 lines

An example perf.data file and build id archive can be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/~ahunter/tfr/

There is also a tar of the 3 most relevant files with debugging symbols. These need to be placed in under the correct paths in /usr/lib/debug to get symbols.

Thanks a lot for making those files available, I'll try and push a first batch from what is in perf/core by now, the try those files, and then apply some more, hopefully finishing the outstanding ones over the weekend.

Quoted 202 lines

Changes in V3:

New patch:
perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap

Move some code under arch:
perf tools: Add Intel PT support
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Updated documentation:
perf report: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Patches already applied:
perf header: Add AUX area tracing feature
perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support
perf record: Extend -m option for AUX area tracing mmap pages perf tools: Add a user event for AUX area tracing errors
perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data perf session: Add instruction tracing options
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for queuing AUX area tracing data perf auxtrace: Add a heap for sorting AUX area tracing queues perf auxtrace: Add processing for AUX area tracing events
perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for caching
perf tools: Add member to struct dso for an instruction cache perf script: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf inject: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags
perf tools: Add aux_watermark member of struct perf_event_attr

Changes in V2:

Get rid of MIN()
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing

Intel BTS can be used on most recent Intel CPUs. Intel PT is available on Broadwell.

Examples:

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS userspace only

perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u ls perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record bts-ls --per-thread -e intel_bts// -- ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report bts-ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script bts-ls

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT userspace only

perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt-ls -e intel_pt// -- ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt-ls ~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script pt-ls

The abstraction has two separate aspects:
1. recording AUX area data
2. processing AUX area data

Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying the data into the perf.data file. The buffer is an AUX area buffer. The data is written preceded by a new user event PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE. The data is too big to fit in the event but follows immediately afterward. Session processing has to skip to get to the next event header in a similar fashion to the existing PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event. The main recording patches are:

perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support

Processing consists of providing hooks in session processing to enable a decoder to see all the events and deliver synthesized events transparently into the event stream. The main processing patch is:

perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data

Adrian Hunter (25):
perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap perf script: Always allow fields 'addr' and 'cpu' for auxtrace perf report: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index
perf tools: Hit all build ids when AUX area tracing
perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX
