2009-09-13perf sched: Add runtime statsIngo Molnar
Extend the latency tracking structure with scheduling atom runtime info - and sum it up during per task display. (Also clean up a few details.)

2009-09-13perf sched: Add sched latency profilingFrederic Weisbecker
Add the -l --latency option that reports statistics about the scheduler latencies. For now, the latencies are measured in the following sequence scope: - task A is sleeping (D or S state) - task B wakes up A ^ | | latency timeframe | | v - task A is scheduled in Start by recording every scheduler events: perf record -e sched:* and then fetch the results: perf sched -l Tasks count total avg max migration/0 2 39849 19924 28826 ksoftirqd/0 7 756383 108054 373014 migration/1 5 45391 9078 10452 ksoftirqd/1 2 399055 199527 359130 events/0 8 4780110 597513 4500250 events/1 9 6353057 705895 2986012 kblockd/0 42 37805097 900121 5077684 The snapshot are in nanoseconds. - Count: number of snapshots taken for the given task - Total: total latencies in nanosec - Avg : average of latency between wake up and sched in - Max : max snapshot latency 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: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-09-13perf sched: Fix bad event alignmentFrederic Weisbecker
perf sched raises the following error when it meets a sched switch event: perf: builtin-sched.c:286: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed. Abandon Currently in x86-64, the sched switch events have a hole in the middle of the structure: u16 common_type; u8 common_flags; u8 common_preempt_count; u32 common_pid; u32 common_tgid; char prev_comm[16]; u32 prev_pid; u32 prev_prio; <--- there u64 prev_state; char next_comm[16]; u32 next_pid; u32 next_prio; Gcc inserts a 4 bytes hole there for prev_state to be u64 aligned. And the events are exported to userspace with this hole. But in userspace, from perf sched, we fetch it using a structure that has a new field in the beginning: u32 size. This is because our trace is exported with its size as a field. But now that we have this new field, the hole in the middle disappears because it makes prev_state becoming well aligned. And since we are using a pointer to the raw trace using this struct, instead of reading prev_state, we are reading the hole. We could fix it by keeping the size seperate from the struct but actually there a lot of other potential problems: some fields may be saved as long in a 64 bits system and later read as long in a 32 bits system. Also this direct cast doesn't care about the endianness differences between the host traced machine and the machine in which we do the post processing. So instead of using such dangerous direct casts, fetch the values using the trace parsing API that already takes care of all these problems.

This results in the error on the mean decreasing with increasing number of samples. Also fix the scaled == -1, aka not counted case.

The current noise computation does: \Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5 Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the complete sample set available to post-process. Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be done by keeping a two sums: stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 ) For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

2009-08-31perf tools: Unify swapper tasks namingFrederic Weisbecker
In perf tools, we hardcode the pid 0 cmdline resolving to "idle" because the init task is not included in the COMM events. But the idle tasks secondary cpus are resolved into their "init" name through the COMM events. We have then such strange result in perf report (ditto with trace): 19.66% init [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1 17.32% [idle] [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1 It's then better to unify the swapper tasks into a single init name.

2009-08-18perf tools: Record events info also when :record suffix is used.Frederic Weisbecker
You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two fashions: - using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) - using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name Currently we record the events info in a trace.info file from perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with the latter. Check both situations.

2009-08-18perf tools: Warn while running perf trace without sampleFrederic Weisbecker
When a user runs perf trace using an input with logged counters without PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute, warn by giving a nice tip.

2009-08-18perf tools: Fix spelling mistake in callchain errorFrederic Weisbecker
While running perf report -g in a perf.data file that hasn't been recorded in callchain mode, the error reported has a spelling issue: ./perf report -g selected -c but no callchain data. Did you call perf record without -g? Fix it.

2009-08-17perf tools: Add perf traceFrederic Weisbecker
This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools. It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events and display them, according to the events information given by the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools. It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu, timestamps fields and some other things. Example: perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a perf trace kblockd/0-236 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:236 func=cfq_kick_queue+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 Todo: - A lot of things!
