net: tracepoint napi:napi_poll add work and budget

2016-07-09T22:05:02+00:00

An important information for the napi_poll tracepoint is knowing
the work done (packets processed) by the napi_poll() call. Add
both the work done and budget, as they are related.

Handle trace_napi_poll() param change in dropwatch/drop_monitor
and in python perf script netdev-times.py in backward compat way,
as python fortunately supports optional parameter handling.

perf script stackcollapse: Remove reference to the perl interpreter

perf script: Add stackcollapse.py script

2016-06-21T16:18:35+00:00

Add stackcollapse.py script as an example of parsing call chains, and
also of using optparse to access command line options.

The flame graph tools include a set of scripts that parse output from
various tools (including "perf script"), remove the offsets in the
function and collapse each stack to a single line.  The website also
says "perf report could have a report style [...] that output folded
stacks directly, obviating the need for stackcollapse-perf.pl", so here
it is.

This script is a Python rewrite of stackcollapse-perf.pl, using the perf
scripting interface to access the perf data directly from Python.

perf script: Update export-to-postgresql to support callchain export

2016-05-06T16:00:55+00:00

Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced
callchain export.

callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now
be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option
is used with the script.

Ex.:

  $ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains

Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export
APIs:

- Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable
  callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global
- Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation
  and population.
- Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API

example usage and output using a small test app:

  test_app.c:

	volatile int x = 0;
	void inc_x_loop()
	{
		int i;
		for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
			x++;
	}

	void a()
	{
		inc_x_loop();
	}

	void b()
	{
		inc_x_loop();
	}

	int main()
	{
		a();
		b();
		return 0;
	}

example usage:

  $ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c
  $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ]

  $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py
	example_db all callchains

  $ psql example_db

  example_db=#
  SELECT
  (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol,
  (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id =
	(SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id))
	as parent_symbol,
  sum(period) as event_count
  FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id
  GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id
  ORDER BY event_count DESC
  LIMIT 5;

        symbol      |      parent_symbol       | event_count
  ------------------+--------------------------+-------------
   inc_x_loop       | a                        |   734250982
   inc_x_loop       | b                        |   731028057
   unknown          | unknown                  |     1335858
   task_tick_fair   | scheduler_tick           |     1238842
   update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 |      650373
  (5 rows)

The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was
sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two
ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b").  Recursive common
table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a
function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

perf script: Fix postgresql ubuntu install instructions

2016-04-19T15:36:54+00:00

The current instructions for setting up an Ubuntu system for using the
export-to-postgresql.py script are incorrect.

The instructions in the script have been updated to work on newer
versions of ubuntu.

-Add missing dependencies to apt-get command:
    python-pyside.qtsql, libqt4-sql-psql
-Add '-s' option to createuser command to force the user to be a
    superuser since the command doesn't prompt as indicated in the
    current instructions.

Tested on: Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04(beta)

perf python scripting: Append examples to err msg about audit-libs-python

2016-02-12T14:30:27+00:00

To print syscall names, the audit-libs-python package is required.. If
not installed, it prints this error string:

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.

But the package name is different in Ubuntu, mention that in the error
message, similar to a error message of util/trace-event-scripting.c:

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
    For example:
      # apt-get install python-audit (Ubuntu)
      # yum install audit-libs-python (Fedora)
      etc.

perf script: Add stat-cpi.py script

2016-01-06T23:11:16+00:00

Adding stat-cpi.py as an example of how to do stat scripting.

It computes the CPI metrics from cycles and instructions events.

The CPI is based performance metric showing the Cycles Per Instructions
ratio, which helps to identify cycles-hungry code.

Following stat record/report/script combinations could be used:

- get CPI for given workload

    $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions record ls

    SNIP

     Performance counter stats for 'ls':

             2,904,431      cycles

           0.001782686 seconds time elapsed

perf scripts python: Add new compaction-times script

2015-08-28T17:53:40+00:00

This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time
spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds
(default) or microseconds (-u).

The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further
decompose by each compaction entry/exit.

For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the
options:

  -t   report only timing
  -m   report migration stats
  -ms  report migration scanner stats
  -fs  report free scanner stats

The default is to report all.

Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex).

The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The
most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of
uptime that has fragmented memory.

This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from
mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4
separate threads
