perf intel-pt: Fix occasional decoding errors when tracing system-wide

2016-09-07T06:32:37+00:00

commit 3d918fb13abdbeca7947578f5d7e426eafad7f5e upstream.

In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events
are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured
by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is
opened.

However, since commit 86c2786994bd ("perf intel-pt: Add support for
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing
system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event
which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.

perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-05-04T21:48:53+00:00

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps()

2016-05-04T21:48:52+00:00

commit a55e5663761366fb883f6f25375dd68bc958b9db upstream.

We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.

This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:

perf intel-pt: Fix segfault tracing transactions

2016-05-04T21:48:47+00:00

commit 1342e0b7a6c1a060c593037fbac9f4b717f1cb3b upstream.

Tracing a workload that uses transactions gave a seg fault as follows:

Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag.  Fix that.

perf tools: Fix python extension build

2016-04-12T16:08:35+00:00

commit 67d5268908283c187e0a460048a423256c2fb288 upstream.

The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build
the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf,

Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build
system, which builds the final object in the
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path.

After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are
carried as the result binaries.

Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we
do for:

  ../lib/bitmap.c
  ../lib/find_bit.c
  ../lib/hweight.c
  ../lib/rbtree.c

All above objects will be built like:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c

which accidentally happens to be final library path:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/

Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build
class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp
directory.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-12T16:08:35+00:00

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream.

When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).

Continue when some attribute is unparseable.

This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

v2: Print warnings when something goes wrong.
v3: Change warning to debug output
