perf list: Move extra details printing to new option (2017-03-23 11:42:31 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Allow suppressing 'uncore_' when specifying PMU events (Andi Kleen)

- Collapse identically named PMU events in 'perf stat', allow not merging it via --no-merge (Andi Kleen)

Fixes:

- Use more precise 'grep -v' to suppress unwanted 'objdump -dS' disassembly output to not ditch line:number lines needed by 'perf annotate --print-lines' logic (Taeung Song)

Infrastructure:

- SDT (Statically Defined Tracing)/uprobes_events arguments improvements (Alexis Berlemont, Ravi Bangoria)

- Improvements for the handling of JSON described vendor events, including having an expression parser to calculate metrics from multiple vendor events (Andi Kleen)

- Update Intel JSON vendor event files (Andi Kleen)

- Restore error reporting in 'perf probe -d' when none of the events requested to be deleted exist. (Kefeng Wang)

- Bump MAX_CMDLEN in 'perf probe' to match what the kernel accepts (Ravi Bangoria)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto. Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH, and the android one, and those may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages, available and being used so far on just a few, like debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/ with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.

PATCH 1/20 perf probe: Change MAX_CMDLEN

From: Ravi Bangoria <[email protected]>

There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long and sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition of sdt marker

method__compile__end: 8@17 8@9 8@10 -4@8 8@7 -4@6 8@5 -4@4 1@37(28)

from file

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so

is

  p:sdt_hotspot/method__compile__end /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-\
    1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so:0x4c4e00\
    arg1=%gpr17:u64 arg2=%gpr9:u64 arg3=%gpr10:u64 arg4=%gpr8:s32\
    arg5=%gpr7:u64 arg6=%gpr6:s32 arg7=%gpr5:u64 arg8=%gpr4:s32\
    arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8

'perf probe' fails with segfault for such markers. As the uprobe_events file accepts definitions up to 4094 characters(4096 - 2 (\n\0)), increase value of MAX_CMDLEN match that.

PATCH 2/20 perf probe: Return errno when not hitting any event

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Kefeng Wang <[email protected]>

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event, it returns errno, eg,

-bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $?
Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist.
Error: Failed to delete events.
255

But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again, eg,

-bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $?
"xxx" does not hit any event.
Error: Failed to delete events.
254

And it is more appropriate to return -ENOENT instead of -EPERM.

PATCH 3/20 perf sdt: Add scanning of sdt probes arguments

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Alexis Berlemont <[email protected]>

During a "perf buildid-cache --add" command, the section ".note.stapsdt" of the "added" binary is scanned in order to list the available SDT markers available in a binary. The parts containing the probes arguments were left unscanned.

The whole section is now parsed; the probe arguments are extracted for later use.

PATCH 4/20 perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Alexis Berlemont <[email protected]>

An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format.

As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format.

Here are the results:

  $ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt
  $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob
  $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle
  $ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt
  $ perf script

PATCH 5/20 perf sdt x86: Add renaming logic for rNN and other registers

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Ravi Bangoria <[email protected]>

'perf probe' is failing for sdt markers whose arguments has rNN (with postfix b/w/d), %rsp, %esp, %sil etc. registers. Add renaming logic for these registers.

PATCH 6/20 perf annotate: More exactly grep -v of the objdump command

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Taeung Song <[email protected]>

The 'grep -v "filename"' applied to the objdump command output cause a side effect eliminating filename:linenr of output of 'objdump -l' if the object file name and source file name are the same, fix it.

E.g. the output of the following objdump command in symbol__disassemble():

    $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello --start-address=...
    /home/taeung/hello:     file format elf64-x86-64

    Disassembly of section .text:

    0000000000400526 <main>:
    main():
    /home/taeung/hello.c:4

    void main()
    {
      400526:	55                   	push   %rbp
      400527:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp
    /home/taeung/hello.c:5
    ...

But it uses grep -v "filename" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello" in the objdump command to remove the first line containing file name and file format
("/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"):

Before:

    $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello

But this causes a side effect, removing filename:linenr too, because the object file and source file have the same name e.g. "/home/taueng/hello", "/home/taeung/hello.c"

So more do a better match by using grep -v as below to correctly remove that first line:

    "/home/taeung/hello:     file format elf64-x86-64"

After:

    $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello:

The source code line number (lineno) needs to be kept in accross calls to symbol__parse_objdump_line() when parsing the output of 'objdump -l -dS', so that it can associate it with the instructions till the next line.

PATCH 9/20 perf stat: Collapse identically named events

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems. When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Before:

  % perf stat --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

PATCH 10/20 perf stat: Handle partially bad results with merging

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When any result that is being merged is bad, mark them all bad to give consistent output in interval mode.

No before/after, because the issue was only found in theoretical review and it is hard to reproduce

PATCH 12/20 perf pmu: Expand PMU events by prefix match

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal aliases now.

This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../ and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.

This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

Before:

  % perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox_0/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
  uncore_cbox_1/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
  uncore_cbox_2/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
  uncore_cbox_3/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
  uncore_cbox_4/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
  uncore_cbox_5/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

After:

% perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

v2: Handle all bison rules. Move multi add code to separate function.
Handle uncore_ prefix correctly.
v3: Move parse_events_multi_pmu_add to separate patch. Move uncore
prefix check to separate patch.

PATCH 14/20 perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.

This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"

v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser

Committer note:

The v2 patch had:

%define api.pure full

In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:

%pure-parser

Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.

I added:

CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w

To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o, another parser.

[ stdlib.h is needed in tests/expr.c for free() fixing build in systems such as ubuntu:16.04-x-s390 ]

PATCH 17/20 perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description.

There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

% perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}'

       2.000301436      0.7
       3.000456379      0.0

v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr
v3: Use expr__ prefix. Support more than one other event.
v4: Update description
v5: Only print warning message once for multiple PMUs.

PATCH 20/20 perf list: Move extra details printing to new option

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Move the printing of perf expressions and internal events to a new clearer --details flag, instead of lumping it together with other debug options in --debug. This makes it clearer to use.

Before

perf list --debug
...
unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
[Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/ MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

after

perf list --details
...
unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
[Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/ MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

perf list: Move extra details printing to new option (2017-03-23 11:42:31 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Allow suppressing 'uncore_' when specifying PMU events (Andi Kleen)

- Collapse identically named PMU events in 'perf stat', allow not merging it via --no-merge (Andi Kleen)

Fixes:

- Use more precise 'grep -v' to suppress unwanted 'objdump -dS' disassembly output to not ditch line:number lines needed by 'perf annotate --print-lines' logic (Taeung Song)

Infrastructure:

- SDT (Statically Defined Tracing)/uprobes_events arguments improvements (Alexis Berlemont, Ravi Bangoria)

- Improvements for the handling of JSON described vendor events, including having an expression parser to calculate metrics from multiple vendor events (Andi Kleen)

- Update Intel JSON vendor event files (Andi Kleen)

- Restore error reporting in 'perf probe -d' when none of the events requested to be deleted exist. (Kefeng Wang)

- Bump MAX_CMDLEN in 'perf probe' to match what the kernel accepts (Ravi Bangoria)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Alexis Berlemont (2):
perf sdt: Add scanning of sdt probes arguments
perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string

Andi Kleen (13):
perf stat: Factor out callback for collecting event values perf stat: Collapse identically named events
perf stat: Handle partially bad results with merging perf tools: Factor out PMU matching in parser
perf pmu: Expand PMU events by prefix match
perf pmu: Special case uncore_ prefix
perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON perf vendor events intel: Update Intel uncore JSON event files perf pmu: Support MetricExpr header in JSON event list perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric
perf list: Support printing MetricExpr with --debug perf pmu: Add support for MetricName JSON attribute perf list: Move extra details printing to new option

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo (1):
perf annotate: Add comment clarifying how the source code line is parsed

Kefeng Wang (1):
perf probe: Return errno when not hitting any event

Ravi Bangoria (2):
perf probe: Change MAX_CMDLEN
perf sdt x86: Add renaming logic for rNN and other registers

Taeung Song (1):
perf annotate: More exactly grep -v of the objdump command
