2009-12-30perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinationsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we finish creating the hist_entries we _already_ have them sorted "by name", in fact by what is in --sort, that is exactly how we can find the pairs in perf_session__match_hists as 'comm', 'dso' & 'symbol' all are strings we need to find the matches in the baseline session. So only do the sort by hits followed by a resort by --sort if we need to find the position for shwowing the --displacement of hist entries. Now all these modes work correctly: Example is a simple 'perf record -f find / > /dev/null' ran twice then followed by the following commands: $ perf diff -f --sort comm # Baseline Delta Command # ........ .......... ....... # 0.00% +100.00% find $ perf diff -f --sort dso # Baseline Delta Shared Object # ........ .......... .................. # 59.97% -0.44% [kernel] 21.17% +0.28% libc-2.5.so 18.49% +0.16% [ext3] 0.37% find $ perf diff -f --sort symbol | head -8 # Baseline Delta Symbol # ........ .......... ...... # 6.21% +0.36% [k] ext3fs_dirhash 3.43% +0.41% [.] __GI_strlen 3.53% +0.16% [k] __kmalloc 3.17% +0.49% [k] system_call 3.06% +0.37% [k] ext3_htree_store_dirent $ perf diff -f --sort dso,symbol | head -8 # Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... .................. ...... # 6.21% +0.36% [ext3] [k] ext3fs_dirhash 3.43% +0.41% libc-2.5.so [.] __GI_strlen 3.53% +0.16% [kernel] [k] __kmalloc 3.17% +0.49% [kernel] [k] system_call 3.06% +0.37% [ext3] [k] ext3_htree_store_dirent $ And we don't have to do two expensive resorts in the common, non --displacement case.

2009-12-28perf record: Introduce a symtab cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by their build-ids, so that perf report can find them. This is interesting when developing software where you want to do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that takes more than two binaries into account. Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full binary there. Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a 'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is required to purge older entries. With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of interest. There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.

2009-12-18hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependencyFrederic Weisbecker
The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies. Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us. We have: config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS config PERF_EVENTS [...] x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints. What we need is: - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86. This fixes the following kind of build errors: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr' v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf Reported-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Reported-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Reported-by: Andrew Randrianasulu <randrik_a@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <1261010034-7786-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

special frame pointer-only stack walker It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-12-17perf probe: Check new event nameMasami Hiramatsu
Check new event name is same syntax as a C symbol in perf command. In other words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events. This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g. foo|bar, foo*bar).

2009-12-17perf probe: Fix libdwarf include path for DebianMasami Hiramatsu
Fix libdwarf include path to fit debian-like systems too. Borislav Petkov reported: > even after installing libdwarf-dev on my debian box here, > make in tools/perf/ still complains that it cannot find libdwarf: > > Makefile:491: No libdwarf.h found or old libdwarf.h found, disables dwarf > support. Please install libdwarf-dev/libdwarf-devel >= 20081231 > > The problem is that the include path on debian is not > /usr/include/libdwarf/ but simply /usr/include because the debian > package libdwarf-dev puts the headers straight into > /usr/include. This patch adds -I/usr/include/libdwarf to BASIC_CFLAGS and fix probe-finder.h to include just libdwarf.h/dwarf.h. This patch also adds a workaround for the undefined _MIPS_SZLONG bug in libdwarf.h.

2009-12-16re-export alloc_file()Roland Dreier
Commit 3d1e4631 ("get rid of init_file()") removed the export of alloc_file() -- possibly inadvertently, since that commit mainly consisted of deleting the lines between the end of alloc_file() and the start of the code in init_file(). There is in fact one modular use of alloc_file() in the tree, in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c, so re-add the export to fix: ERROR: "alloc_file" [drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko] undefined! when CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS=m.

2009-12-16XFS: Free buffer pages array unconditionallyDave Chinner
The code in xfs_free_buf() only attempts to free the b_pages array if the buffer is a page cache backed or page allocated buffer. The extra log buffer that is used when the log wraps uses pages that are allocated to a different log buffer, but it still has a b_pages array allocated when those pages are associated to with the extra buffer in xfs_buf_associate_memory. Hence we need to always attempt to free the b_pages array when tearing down a buffer, not just on buffers that are explicitly marked as page bearing buffers. This fixes a leak detected by the kernel memory leak code. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
