Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Main kernel side changes: - Big reorganization of the x86 perf support code. The old code grew organically deep inside arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf* and its naming became somewhat messy. The new location is under arch/x86/events/, using the following cleaner hierarchy of source code files: perf/x86: Move perf_event.c .................. => x86/events/core.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd.c .............. => x86/events/amd/core.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_ibs.c .......... => x86/events/amd/ibs.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_iommu.[ch] ..... => x86/events/amd/iommu.[ch] perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd_uncore.c ....... => x86/events/amd/uncore.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_bts.c ........ => x86/events/intel/bts.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel.c ............ => x86/events/intel/core.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_cqm.c ........ => x86/events/intel/cqm.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_cstate.c ..... => x86/events/intel/cstate.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_ds.c ......... => x86/events/intel/ds.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_lbr.c ........ => x86/events/intel/lbr.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_pt.[ch] ...... => x86/events/intel/pt.[ch] perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_rapl.c ....... => x86/events/intel/rapl.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore.[ch] .. => x86/events/intel/uncore.[ch] perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore_nhmex.c => x86/events/intel/uncore_nmhex.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore_snb.c => x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_intel_uncore_snbep.c => x86/events/intel/uncore_snbep.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_knc.c .............. => x86/events/intel/knc.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_p4.c ............... => x86/events/intel/p4.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_p6.c ............... => x86/events/intel/p6.c perf/x86: Move perf_event_msr.c .............. => x86/events/msr.c (Borislav Petkov) - Update various x86 PMU constraint and hw support details (Stephane Eranian) - Optimize kprobes for BPF execution (Martin KaFai Lau) - Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel uncore PMU driver code (Thomas Gleixner) - Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel RAPL PMU code (Thomas Gleixner) - Various fixes and smaller cleanups. There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights: perf report/top: - Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report', showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim) On a mostly idle system: # perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot: # cat perf.hist.0 - 92.32% perf 58.20% perf 22.29% libc-2.22.so 5.97% [kernel] 4.18% libelf-0.165.so 1.69% [unknown] - 4.71% qemu-system-x86 3.10% [kernel] 1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted) + 2.97% swapper # - Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does. (Namhyung Kim) perf mem: - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri Olsa) perf record: - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one can tell that all the events in the command line should be restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.: perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u is equivalent to: perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header: $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8 # CPU cache info: # L1 Data 32K [0-1] # L1 Instruction 32K [0-1] # L1 Data 32K [2-3] # L1 Instruction 32K [2-3] # L2 Unified 256K [0-1] # L2 Unified 256K [2-3] # L3 Unified 4096K [0-3] Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference. (Jiri Olsa) - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian) perf script/trace: - Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa) # perf script perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in 'perf script' (Jiri Olsa) - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running python or perl scripts (Taeung Song) perf stat: - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in interval mode too. E.g: # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1 # time counts unit events 1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle 1.000215928 752,003 cycles <SNIP> - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar) - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen) perf BPF support: - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan) - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan). # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000 # perf script usleep 4882 21384.532523: evt: ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms]) BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a 0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even 0010: 74 21 00 00 t!.. BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!" # - Add API to set values of map entries in a BPF object, be it individual map slots or ranges (Wang Nan) - Introduce support for the 'bpf-output' event (Wang Nan) - Add glue to read perf events in a BPF program (Wang Nan) - Improve support for bpf-output events in 'perf trace' (Wang Nan) ... and tons of other changes as well - see the shortlog and git log for details!" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (342 commits) perf stat: Add --metric-only support for -A perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode perf stat: Document CSV format in manpage perf hists browser: Check sort keys before hot key actions perf hists browser: Allow thread filtering for comm sort key perf tools: Add sort__has_comm variable perf tools: Recalc total periods using top-level entries in hierarchy perf tools: Remove nr_sort_keys field perf hists browser: Cleanup hist_browser__fprintf_hierarchy_entry() perf tools: Remove hist_entry->fmt field perf tools: Fix command line filters in hierarchy mode perf tools: Add more sort entry check functions perf tools: Fix hist_entry__filter() for hierarchy perf jitdump: Build only on supported archs tools lib traceevent: Add '~' operation within arg_num_eval() perf tools: Omit unnecessary cast in perf_pmu__parse_scale perf tools: Pass perf_hpp_list all the way through setup_sort_list perf tools: Fix perf script python database export crash perf jitdump: DWARF is also needed perf bench mem: Prepare the x86-64 build for upstream memcpy_mcsafe() changes ...
