perf tools: Basic support for CGROUP event

2020-04-03T12:37:55+00:00

Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking.  Each cgroup
can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too.
The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack

2020-03-10T00:42:53+00:00

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack.  Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output.  Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

perf session: Add facility to peek at all events

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

AUX area samples are not limited in how far back in time the sample
could start. Consequently samples must be queued in advance to allow for
time-ordered processing. To achieve that, add
perf_session__peek_events() that walks and peeks at all the events.

perf auxtrace: Add support for dumping AUX area samples

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

Add support for dumping AUX area samples i.e. via the perf script/report
 -D (--dump-raw-trace) option.

Committer notes:

Add __maybe_unused to the two args for auxtrace__dump_auxtrace_sample()
for when we don't HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT.

perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions

2019-11-21T13:54:20+00:00

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.

New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer.  New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.

Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

Committer notes:

I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:

  # perf test -v parsing
  26: Sample parsing                                        :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 17018
  sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Sample parsing: FAILED!
  #

With the two paches combined:

  # perf test parsing
  26: Sample parsing                                        : Ok

perf session: Fix decompression of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records

2019-11-19T22:31:55+00:00

Avoid termination of trace loading in case the last record in the
decompressed buffer partly resides in the following mmaped
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record.

In this case NULL value returned by fetch_mmaped_event() means to
proceed to the next mmaped record then decompress it and load compressed
events.

The issue can be reproduced like this:

  $ perf record -z -- some_long_running_workload
  $ perf report --stdio -vv
  decomp (B): 44519 to 163000
  decomp (B): 48119 to 174800
  decomp (B): 65527 to 131072
  fetch_mmaped_event: head=0x1ffe0 event->header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x20000: fuzzed perf.data?
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  ...

Testing:

  71: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression              : Ok

  $ tools/perf/perf report -vv --stdio
  decomp (B): 59593 to 262160
  decomp (B): 4438 to 16512
  decomp (B): 285 to 880

  ...

perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory

2019-11-06T18:43:05+00:00

Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

  $ sudo perf record --kcore uname

  $ sudo tree perf.data
  perf.data

  │   ├── kallsyms
  │   ├── kcore
  │   └── modules

perf evlist: Adopt __set_tracepoint_handlers method from perf_session

2019-10-07T15:22:17+00:00

It all operates on the evsels in the session's evlist, so move it to the
evlist layer to make it useful to tools not using perf_session, just
evlists, like 'perf trace' in live mode.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.
