2009-08-06perf: Auto-detect libelfPeter Zijlstra
Adds autodetection for libelf as well, and simplifies the libbfd code. Furthermore, fail make with an error when libelf is not found and warn about the lack of libbfd. Also provide an option to build a 32bit version even though you might be running a 64bit kernel. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-08-05perf: Auto-detect libbfdPeter Zijlstra
Since the C++ demangling isn't needed for everybody and bfd/iberty aren't widely/easily available on all machines, make it optional. It also allows you to forcefully disable demangling by using NO_DEMANGLE=1 and otherwise tries to detect libbfd/libiberty combinations that result in a compiling demangler.

2009-07-22perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed sizeArjan van de Ven
for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-10perf_counter: Add P6 PMU supportVince Weaver
Add basic P6 PMU support. The P6 uses the EVNTSEL0 EN bit to enable/disable both its counters. We use this for the global enable/disable, and clear all config bits (except EN) to disable individual counters. Actual ia32 hardware doesn't support lfence, so use a locked op without side-effect to implement a full barrier. perf stat and perf record seem to function correctly.

2009-07-05perf report: Add "Fractal" mode output - support callchains with relative ↵Frederic Weisbecker
overhead rate The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute: relative to the total overhead. This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object. This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent. You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc... ./perf report -s sym -c fractal Example: 8.46% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--52.01%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | |--97.20%-- sys_pread64 | | system_call_fastpath | | pread64 | | | --2.81%-- sys_read | system_call_fastpath | __read | |--39.85%-- generic_file_buffered_write | __generic_file_aio_write_nolock | generic_file_aio_write | do_sync_write | reiserfs_file_write | vfs_write | | | |--97.05%-- sys_pwrite64 | | system_call_fastpath | | __pwrite64 | | | --2.95%-- sys_write | system_call_fastpath | __write_nocancel [...] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1246772361-9960-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-07-05perf_counter tools: callchains: Manage the cumul hits on the flyFrederic Weisbecker
The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage computing of a branch. Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that cumulative hits are propagated in the right order. But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to filter the children against a given rate. Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the implementation of relative overhead rates.

The default callchain parameters are set to use the flat mode and never filter any overhead threshold of backtrace. But flat mode is boring compared to graph mode. Also the number of callchains may be very high if none is filtered. Let's change this to set the graph view and a minimum overhead of 0.5% as default parameters.

If the user doesn't provide options to tune his callchain output (ie: if he uses -c without arguments) then the default value passed in the OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() macro is used. But it's parsed later by strtok() which will replace comma separators to a zero. This may segfault as we are using a read-only string. Use a modifiable one instead, and also fix the "100%" default minimum threshold value by turning it into a 0 (output every callchains) as it was intended in the origin.

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have a custom value or a default one if none is given. This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which defines such kind of option. For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the default value in the following cases: perf command -c -d perf command -d -c And the foo value when it's given: perf command -c foo -d perf command -d -c foo That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to support default values whatever the position of the option, not only in the end.

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance. The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes are in the brothers field of the children. This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a head: --------------- | Parent (head) |------------------------------------- --------------- | | | children | | | ----------- ----------- | | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother----- ----------- ----------- This makes the following strange pattern often occuring: list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) { // do something with children } Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify this pattern.
