perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit 93df8a1ed6231727c5db94a80b1a6bd5ee67cec3 upstream.

perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no
tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file.  Adding an empty file fixes this as
there are no MIPS-specific sources to build.

It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I
haven't been able to test those.

perf stat: Get correct cpu id for print_aggr

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit 601083cffb7cabdcc55b8195d732f0f7028570fa upstream.

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b3d ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.

Here is an example:

Counting events cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/. (Uncore event has
cpumask 0,18)

  $ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2

Without this patch, it failes to get CPU 18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            7526851      cycles
  S0-C0           1               1.05 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           0            cycles
  S1-C0           0       MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

With this patch, it can get both CPU0 and CPU18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            6327768      cycles
  S0-C0           1               0.47 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           1             330228      cycles
  S1-C0           1               0.29 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

perf hists: Update the column width for the "srcline" sort key

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit e8e6d37e73e6b950c891c780745460b87f4755b6 upstream.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the
hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width
will be limited to strlen(header).

We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for
instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a
resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is
in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit b5cabbcbd157a4bf5a92dfc85134999a3b55342d upstream.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.

	perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore

To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.

The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).

The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().

The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure.  That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned.  So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().

Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.

Committer notes:

Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:

The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

perf symbols: Store if there is a filter in place

2015-08-10T19:22:00+00:00

commit 0bc2f2f7d080561cc484d2d0a162a9396bed3383 upstream.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.

But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).

So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

perf hists browser: Take the --comm, --dsos, etc filters into account

2015-08-10T19:21:58+00:00

commit 9c0fa8dd3d58de8b688fda758eea1719949c7f0a upstream.

At some point:

  commit 2c86c7ca7606
  Author: Namhyung Kim 
  Date:   Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300

    perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered

We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).

But then, in:

  commit 268397cb2a47
  Author: Namhyung Kim 
  Date:   Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900

    perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied

We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.

So, for instance, when we do:

  perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___

the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.

Tested with:

   perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative

Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:

   perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative

Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.

More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.

perf bench numa: Fix to show proper convergence stats

2015-08-03T16:29:18+00:00

commit 2b42b09b88c831ba4da2d669581dde371c38c2af upstream.

With commit: e1e455f4f4d3 (perf tools: Work around lack of sched_getcpu
in glibc < 2.6), perf_bench numa mem with -c or -m option is not able to
correctly calculate convergence.

With the above commit, sched_getcpu always seems to return -1. The
intention of commit e1e455f was to add a sched_getcpu in glibc < 2.6.
Hence keep the sched_getcpu definition under an ifdef.

This regression happened occurred between v4.0 and v4.1

Parsing /proc/cpuinfo is a fiddly, arch-dependent business and a recent

Use sysconf to determine the number of online CPUs only parsing
