perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()

2011-03-23T22:28:58+00:00

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.

Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

perf timechart: Fix max number of cpus

2011-02-28T07:56:15+00:00

Currently numcpus is determined in pid_put_sample which is only
called on sched_switch/sched_wakeup sample processing.

On a machine with a lot cpus I often saw the last cpu missing.

Check for (max) numcpus on every event happening and in the
beginning. -> fixes the issue for me.

perf tools: Kill event_t typedef, use 'union perf_event' instead

2011-01-29T18:25:37+00:00

And move the event_t methods to the perf_event__ too.

No code changes, just namespace consistency.

perf timechart: Adjust perf timechart to the new power events

2011-01-04T07:16:54+00:00

builtin-timechart must only pass -e power:xy events if they are supported by
the running kernel, otherwise try to fetch the old power:power{start,end}
events.

For this I added the tiny helper function:

   int is_valid_tracepoint(const char *event_string)

to parse-events.[hc], which could be more generic as an interface and support
hardware/software/... events, not only tracepoints, but someone else could
extend that if needed...

perf symbols: Add symfs option for off-box analysis using specified tree

2010-12-21T22:17:51+00:00

The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
local data store with build-ids.

Commiter notes:

o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.

o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
  outside the symfs directory.

perf session: Fallback to unordered processing if no sample_id_all

2010-12-21T22:17:51+00:00

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.

While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.

This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.

This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

perf tools: Catch a few uncheck calloc/malloc's

2010-12-06T14:52:35+00:00

There were a few stray calloc()'s and malloc()'s which were not having
their return values checked for success.

As the calling code either already coped with failure or didn't actually
care we just return -ENOMEM at that point.

perf session: Parse sample earlier

2010-12-05T01:05:19+00:00

At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache
tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already
parsed.

This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the
identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu,
timestamp) just after before every event.

Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as
possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid
callchains, warning the user about it if it happens.

There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type,
that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be
removed.
