perf/core improvements and fixes

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

So now we can use:

  # perf trace -e pkey_*
   532.784 ( 0.006 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_alloc(init_val: DISABLE_WRITE) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
   532.795 ( 0.004 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_mprotect(start: 0x7f380d0a6000, len: 4096, prot: READ|WRITE, pkey: -1) = 0
   532.801 ( 0.002 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_free(pkey: -1                ) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
  ^C[root@jouet ~]#

Or '-e epoll*', '-e *msg*', etc.

Combining syscall names with perf events, tracepoints, etc, continues to be valid, i.e. this is possible:

  # perf probe -L sys_nanosleep
  <SyS_nanosleep@/home/acme/git/linux/kernel/time/hrtimer.c:0>
      0  SYSCALL_DEFINE2(nanosleep, struct timespec __user *, rqtp,
                        struct timespec __user *, rmtp)
         {
                struct timespec64 tu;

      5         if (get_timespec64(&tu, rqtp))
      6                 return -EFAULT;

                if (!timespec64_valid(&tu))
      9                 return -EINVAL;

     11         current->restart_block.nanosleep.type = rmtp ? TT_NATIVE : TT_NONE;
     12         current->restart_block.nanosleep.rmtp = rmtp;
     13         return hrtimer_nanosleep(&tu, HRTIMER_MODE_REL, CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
         }

  # perf probe my_probe="sys_nanosleep:12 rmtp"
  Added new event:
    probe:my_probe       (on sys_nanosleep:12 with rmtp)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:my_probe -aR sleep 1

#

  # perf trace -e probe:my_probe/max-stack=5/,*sleep sleep 1
     0.427 ( 0.003 ms): sleep/16690 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffefc245090) ...
     0.430 (         ): probe:my_probe:(ffffffffbd112923) rmtp=0)
                                       sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       return_from_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       __nanosleep_nocancel (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
     0.427 (1000.208 ms): sleep/16690  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0

2.13.5

From: Ravi Bangoria <[email protected]>

'Object code reading' test always fails on powerpc guest. Two reasons for the failure are:

1. When elf section is too big (size beyond 'unsigned int' max value). objdump fails to disassemble from such section. This was fixed with commit 0f6329bd7fc ("binutils/objdump: Fix disassemble for huge elf sections") in binutils.

2. When the sample is from hypervisor. Hypervisor symbols can not be resolved within guest and thus thread__find_addr_map() fails for such symbols. Fix this by ignoring hypervisor symbols in the test.

2.13.5

From: Jack Henschel <[email protected]>

As specified in tools/perf/Documentation/perf-config.txt, perf configuration items must be in 'key = value' format, otherwise the following error message occurs:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -- ls
  bad config file line 2 in ~/.perfconfig
  $ cat .perfconfig
  [intel-pt]
      mispred-all

Changing to assigning a value to the key 'mispred-all' fixes the issue:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -- ls
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Capured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data]
  $ cat .perfconfig
  [intel-pt]
      mispred-all = true

2.13.5

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <[email protected]>

Some POWER PMU event names have multiple/alternate event codes. These alternate event codes were listed in the POWER9 JSON files for reference.

But the perf tool does not seem to handle duplicates cleanly. 'perf list' shows such duplicate events only once, but 'perf stat' ends up counting the first event code twice, multiplexing if necessary and we end up with double the event counts.

Remove the duplicate event codes from the JSON files for now.

2.13.5

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

Peter reported that when he explicitely asked for multiple events with the same name on the command line it got coalesced into just one line, i.e.:

   # perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

         3,269,652      cycles

       0.000884123 seconds time elapsed

#

And while there is the --no-merges option to disable that auto-merging, this is a blunt change in behaviour for such explicit request, so change the code so that this auto merging is done only when handling the multi PMU aliases with the same name that introduced this coalescing, restoring the previous behaviour for the explicit case:

  # perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

         1,472,837      cycles
         1,472,837      cycles
         1,472,837      cycles

       0.001764870 seconds time elapsed

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

The popup help accessed via 'h' wasn't mentioning about TAB and shift-TAB, just about 'H', which goes to the hottest line, while the former two are the hotkeys for actually cycling thru the hottest lines.

perf annotate browser: Help for cycling thru hottest instructions with TAB/shift+TAB (2017-09-01 14:55:40 -0300)

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

- Support syscall name glob matching in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

e.g.:

   # perf trace -e pkey_*
   32.784 (0.006 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_alloc(init_val: DISABLE_WRITE) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
   32.795 (0.004 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_mprotect(start: 0x7f380d0a6000, len: 4096, prot: READ|WRITE, pkey: -1) = 0
   32.801 (0.002 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_free(pkey: -1                ) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
   ^C#

- Do not auto merge counts for explicitely specified events in 'perf stat' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix syntax in documentation of .perfconfig intel-pt option (Jack Henschel)

- Calculate the average cycles of iterations for loops detected by the branch history support in 'perf report' (Jin Yao)

- Support PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR as a sort key "phys_daddr" in the 'script', 'mem', 'top' and 'report'. Also add a test entry for it in 'perf test' (Kan Liang)

- Fix 'Object code reading' 'perf test' entry in PowerPC (Ravi Bangoria)

- Remove some duplicate Power9 duplicate vendor events (described in JSON files) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Add help entry in the TUI annotate browser about cycling thru hottest instructions with TAB/shift+TAB (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

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

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.

The 'perf test' also runs shell scripts exercising the tools, checking if they affect the system in certain ways, like setting up kprobes and uprobes, request callchains for well known programs and check that they are the expected ones, see if 'perf trace' beautifies system call arguments correctly, etc.

Additionally, a new set of tests, script based, runs the tools in a live system, setting probes in place that then gets used by 'perf trace', with its output compared against expected results.

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.

The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops.

While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations. This patch adds up the cycles in branch entries of removed loops and save the result to the next branch entry (e.g. branch entry A).

Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the "from" of branch entry A.

For example:
perf record -g -j any,save_type ./div
perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio

--22.63%--main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M)

          compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2 iter:173115 avg_cycles:2)
          |
           --10.73%--compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M)
                     rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
                     rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M)
                     __random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
                     __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M)
                     __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)

                     __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
                     __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M)

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

With two new methods, one to find the first match, returning its syscall id and its index in whatever internal database it keeps the syscall into, then one to find the next match, if any.

Implemented only on arches where we actually read the syscall table from the kernel sources, i.e. x86-64 for now, all the others use the libaudit method for which this returns -1, i.e. just stubs were added, with the actual implementation using whatever libaudit functions for matching that may be available.

It would be better to fix it in perf. I assume it wouldn't be that hard. Intel may get multiple versions of events at some point too, as events get renamed, but the old names stay around for compatibility.

Pulled, thanks a lot Arnaldo!
