[Changes:
v4:
Address review comments.
Fix --cpu filtering.
Fix a sampling bug.
Add support for configuring custom script menu entries in perfconfig. Fix display of more samples than fit on screen.
Fix some buffer overruns in legacy code.
Add more tips
]

We currently have two ways to look at sample data in perf:
either use perf report to aggregate everything, or use perf script to look at all individual samples.

Both ways are useful. Of course aggregation is useful to quickly find the most expensive part of the code.

But sometimes a single sample is not good enough to determine the problem and we need to look at context, either through branch contexts, or other previous samples (e.g. for correlating different micro architecture events or computing metrics)

This can be done through perf script today, but it can be rather cumbersome to find the right samples to look at.

Another problem with perf report is that it aggregates the whole measurement period. But many real workloads have phases where they behave quite differently, and it is often not useful to combine them into a single histogram.

While this can be worked around with the --time option to report, it can be quite cumbersome.

This patch kit attempts to address some of these problems in perf report by making it time aware.

- It adds a new time sort key that allows perf report to separate samples from different regions. The time regions can be defined with a new --time-quantum option.

- Then it extends the perf script support in the tui record browser to allow browsing samples for different time regions from within a perf report session.

- Extends the report browser script display
to automatically select sensible defaults
based on what was recorded. For example it will
automatically show branch contexts with -b.

- Support browsing the context of individual samples. perf report can save a limited number of random samples per histogram entry with the new --samples option. Then the browser allows directly jumping to any
of the saved samples and browsing the context on the current thread or CPU.

There could be probably be done more to make perf report even better for such use cases (e.g. a real time line display), but this basic support is good enough for many useful usages.

PATCH v4 1/15 perf tools: Add utility function to fetch executable

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they do significantly different actions, so they are not easy to fit into a single library function.

So I've made some changes and the end result is below, will fixup the following patches, holler if you find any problems:

Changes:

. No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer

. Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying
a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space.

. No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch]

. Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but
since we're moving this around, check that as well, could be moved to a separate patch tho.

PATCH v4 2/15 perf tools script: Support insn output for normal samples

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

perf script -F +insn was only working for PT traces because the PT instruction decoder was filling in the insn/insn_len sample attributes. Support it for non PT samples too on x86 using the existing x86 instruction decoder.

This adds some extra checking to ensure that we don't try to decode instructions when using perf.data from a different architecture.

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The --cpu option only filtered samples. Filter other perf events, such as COMM, FORK, SWITCH by the CPU too.

Because tasks can migrate from cpu to cpu, we probably need to process most of the events anyway, even if they are not printed.

Humm, probably just do the filtering on PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE is enough? I.e. having the other PERF_RECORD_{COMM,MMAP,} etc is required in face of migration.

The --cpu option only filtered samples. Filter other perf events, such as COMM, FORK, SWITCH by the CPU too.

Because tasks can migrate from cpu to cpu, we probably need to process most of the events anyway, even if they are not printed.

agreed, I wonder we could just make the perf_event__fprintf conditional

Humm, probably just do the filtering on PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE is enough? I.e. having the other PERF_RECORD_{COMM,MMAP,} etc is required in face of migration.

The goal was to only show the output for the correct CPU in the perf sample context browser. Otherwise the output on larger systems is very confusing because most of it is for irrelevant CPUs.

PATCH v4 4/15 perf tools report: Support nano seconds

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Upcoming changes add timestamp output in perf report. Add a --ns argument similar to perf script to support nanoseconds resolution when needed.

PATCH v4 5/15 perf tools report: Parse time quantum

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Many workloads change over time. perf report currently aggregates the whole time range reported in perf.data.

This patch adds an option for a time quantum to quantisize the perf.data over time.

This just adds the option, will be used in follow on patches for a time sort key.

This patch adds an option for a time quantum to quantisize the perf.data over time.

This just adds the option, will be used in follow on patches for a time sort key.

PATCH v4 6/15 perf tools report: Support time sort key

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a time sort key to perf report to display samples for different time quantums separately. This allows easier analysis of workloads that change over time, and also will allow looking at the context of samples.

PATCH v4 7/15 perf tools report: Use less for scripts output

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size, no search or save function, slow, and various other issues.

Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead.

This won't work in gtk mode, but gtk doesn't support these context menus anyways. If that is ever done could use an terminal for the output.

PATCH v4 8/15 perf tools report: Support running scripts for current time range

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When using the time sort key, add new context menus to run scripts for only the currently selected time range. Compute the correct range for the selection add pass it as the --time option to perf script.

---
v2:

PATCH v4 9/15 perf tools report: Support builtin perf script in scripts menu

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.

Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.

- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments

Then we automatically select the right options to
display the information in the perf.data file.

For example with -b display branch contexts.

It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence
in advance. perf script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.

---
v2:
Pass --inline if needed
v3:
Avoid compiler warnings. Allocate cmd buffer dynamically. Change formatting

PATCH v4 11/15 perf tools report: Implement browsing of individual samples

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Now report can show whole time periods with perf script, but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.

It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis.

Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.

Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry

Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples.

Then allow browsing the samples using perf script
as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample.

It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.

Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.

---
v2:
Free names on error path
Pass --inline and --show-*-event to child perf as needed. v3:
Don't use num_res to keep track of total samples Don't pass -1 cpus to perf script.
Don't pass extra event option with tid filtering. Fix sampling bug.

PATCH v4 13/15 perf tools report: Add custom scripts to script menu

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a way to define custom scripts through ~/.perfconfig, which are then added to the scripts menu. The scripts get the same arguments as perf script, in particular -i, --cpu, --tid.

Don't overflow array when the scripts directory is too large, or the script file name is too long.

PATCH v4 15/15 perf tools ui: Fix ui popup browser for many entries

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit the display function correctly.

Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.

hi,
getting gcc error on your branch, similar like last time:

Okay I figured out now why I'm not seeing this. It's because my perf builds are with DEBUG=1, and Makefile.config has this insanity:

ifeq ($(DEBUG),0)
ifeq ($(feature-fortify-source), 1)

      CFLAGS += -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

endif
endif

Anyways the warnings are false positives because the strings can never be that big. In fact I think they're harmful because it discourages adding safety margins to stack buffers.

Anyways you can use this patch as a workaround.
