2009-11-11perf tools: Bring linear set of section headers for featuresFrederic Weisbecker
Build a set of section headers for features right after the datas. Each implemented feature will have one of such section header that provides the offset and the size of the data manipulated by the feature. The trace informations have moved after the data and are recorded on exit time. The new layout is as follows: ----------------------- ___ [ magic ] | [ header size ] | [ attr size ] | [ attr content offset ] | [ attr content size ] | [ data offset ] File Headers [ data size ] | [ event_types offset ] | [ event_types size ] | [ feature bitmap ] v [ attr section ] [ events section ] ___ [ X ] | [ X ] | [ X ] Datas [ X ] | [ X ] v ___ [ Feature 1 offset ] | [ Feature 1 size ] Features headers [ Feature 2 offset ] | [ Feature 2 size ] v [ Feature 1 content ] [ Feature 2 content ] ----------------------- We have as many feature's section headers as we have features in use for the current file. Say Feat 1 and Feat 3 are used by the file, but not Feat 2. Then the feature headers will be like follows: [ Feature 1 offset ] | [ Feature 1 size ] Features headers [ Feature 3 offset ] | [ Feature 3 size ] v There is no hole to cover Feature 2 that is not in use here. We only need to cover the needed headers in order, from the lowest feature bit to the highest. Currently we have two features: HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID. Both have their contents that follow the feature headers. Putting the contents right after the feature headers is not mandatory though. While we keep the feature headers right after the data and in order, their offsets can point everywhere. We have just put the two above feature contents in the end of the file for convenience. The purpose of this layout change is to have a file format that scales while keeping it simple: having such linear feature headers is less error prone wrt forward/backward compatibility as the content of a feature can be put anywhere, its location can even change by the time, it's fine because its headers will tell where it is. And we know how to find these headers, following the above rules.

2009-11-11perf tools: Split up build id saving into fetch and writeFrederic Weisbecker
We are saving the build id once we stop the profiling. And only after doing that we know if we need to set that feature in the header through the feature bitmap. But if we want a proper feature support in the headers, using a rule of offset/size pairs in sections, we need to know in advance how many features we need to set in the headers, so that we can reserve rooms for their section headers. The current state doesn't allow that, as it forces us to first save the build-ids to the file right after the datas instead of planning any structured layout. That's why this splits up the build-ids processing in two parts: one that fetches the build-ids from the Dso objects, and one that saves them into the file.

2009-11-09perf bench: Fix bench/sched-pipe.c to wait for child processHitoshi Mitake
Ingo reported this small 'perf bench sched pipe' output problem: | $ ./perf bench sched pipe | (executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks) | | Total time:4.898 sec | $ 4.898586 usecs/op | 204140 ops/sec | | the shell prompt came back before the usecs/op and ops/sec line | was printed. Process teardown race, lack of wait() or so? This caused by lack of calling waitpid() by parent process, so I added it.

2009-11-08perf tools: Fix permission checksPekka Enberg
The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is not root which results in a very confusing error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied) Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

2009-11-08perf symbols: Use the buildids if presentArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids, stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new feature bit in the header bitmask. 'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the 'dsos' list and set the build ids. When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that doesn't have the same build id. This improves the reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling data is more guaranteed to match. Example: [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols # Samples: 2621434559 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ............................. ...... # 7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9 [root@doppio ~]# In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished, so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly different (and misleading) output. Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build id notes for it and the modules from /sys. Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command: 'perf list-buildids' that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine and 'perf report' in another. Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older kernels.
