perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid

2011-06-03T13:07:52+00:00

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size

perf tools: Move evlist sample helpers to evlist area

These APIs should belong to evlist.c as they may not be
exclusively tied to the headers.

perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup

2011-05-15T13:02:14+00:00

The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.

Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.

Tested with:

[root@felicio ~]#

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
mmap per thread and:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131
^M
^C[ perf record: Woken up 79 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.614 MB perf.data (~900639 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl
     1	 371310 26131

    10	     43 642
[root@felicio ~]#

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.

Then, if I specify one CPU:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl
     1	   8444 26131
     2	   2584 26149
     3	   2518 26148
     4	   2324 26150
     5	    123 26143
     6	      9 661
     7	      9 29048
[root@felicio ~]#

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
 1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.

For global profiling:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
     1	7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
     2	7fb49b4b6000-7fb49b537000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

It uses per-cpu buffers.

For just one thread:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl
     1	   9969 26148

perf session: Use evlist/evsel for managing perf.data attributes

2011-03-10T14:15:54+00:00

So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine
(perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear
lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc.

Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the
emerging perf lib.

perf evlist: Split perf_evlist__id_hash

2011-03-06T16:10:45+00:00

The previous situation was to receive an fd from where to read the event
ID.

Spin off a routine for when we have the ID handy, not having to read it
from some fd.

perf: Set filters before mmaping events

2011-03-02T15:05:51+00:00

We currently set the filters after we mmap the events, this is a
race that let undesired events record themselves in the buffer before
we had the time to set the filters.

So set the filters before they can be recorded. That also librarizes
the filters setting so that filtering can be done more easily
from other tools than perf record later.

perf evlist: Store pointer to the cpu and thread maps

2011-01-31T14:40:52+00:00

So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that
needs it, simplifying usage.

There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance,
which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have
to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was
passed to then create those maps.

For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via
perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also
providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists
share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance,
get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a
particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity
in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.

perf evlist: Move evlist methods to evlist.c

They were on evsel.c because they came from refactoring existing evsel
methods, so, to make reviewing the changes easier, I kept it there, now
its a plain move.
