perf callchain: Reference count maps

2017-03-12T05:41:47+00:00

commit aa33b9b9a2ebb00d33c83a5312d4fbf2d5aeba36 upstream.

If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor.  Use the
existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the
cursor iterates past the node.

perf callchain: Fixup help/config for no-unwinding

2017-01-26T07:24:36+00:00

commit c56cb33b56c13493eeb95612f80e4dd6e35cd109 upstream.

Since 841e3558b2d ("perf callchain: Recording 'dwarf' callchains do not
need DWARF unwinding support"), --call-graph dwarf is allowed in 'perf
record' even without unwind support.  A couple of other places don't
reflect this yet though: the help text should list dwarf as a valid
record mode and the dump_size config should be respected too.

perf tests: Fix hist accumulation test

2016-07-04T22:39:01+00:00

User's values from .perfconfig could overload the default callchain
setup and cause this test to fail.  Making sure the test is using
default callchain_param values.

  # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events

Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.

perf record: Export record_opts based callchain parsing helper

2016-04-15T19:37:17+00:00

To be able to call it outside option parsing, like when setting a
default --call-graph parameter in 'perf trace' when just --min-stack is
used.

perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursors

2016-04-14T17:48:07+00:00

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:

  # perf test -v python
  16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 18030
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
  callchain_cursor
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  #

This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.

Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

perf top: Decay periods in callchains

2016-01-08T15:37:51+00:00

It missed to decay periods in callchains when decaying hist entries.
This resulted in more than 100 percent overhead in callchains in the
fractal style output.

perf hists browser: Support flat callchains

2015-11-19T16:19:24+00:00

The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple
hierarchy so make it easy to see.

Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly.  With
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes.  To do that, add parent_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.

For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'.

  $ perf report -g graph
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       intel_idle
       cpuidle_enter_state
       cpuidle_enter
       call_cpuidle
     - cpu_startup_entry
          28.63% start_secondary
        - 11.30% rest_init
             start_kernel
             x86_64_start_reservations
             x86_64_start_kernel

Before:
  $ perf report -g flat
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       28.63% start_secondary
     - 11.30% rest_init
          start_kernel
          x86_64_start_reservations
          x86_64_start_kernel

After:
  $ perf report -g flat
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
     - 28.63% intel_idle
          cpuidle_enter_state
          cpuidle_enter
          call_cpuidle
          cpu_startup_entry
          start_secondary
     - 11.30% intel_idle
          cpuidle_enter_state
          cpuidle_enter
