perf record: Disable debuginfod by default

2022-01-15T20:41:25Z

Fedora 35 sets DEBUGINFOD_URLS by default, which might lead to unexpected stalls in perf record exit path, when we try to cache profiled binaries. # DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS=1 ./perf record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] Downloading from https://debuginfod.fedoraproject.org/ 447069 Downloading from https://debuginfod.fedoraproject.org/ 1502175 Downloading \^Z Disabling DEBUGINFOD_URLS by default in perf record and adding debuginfod option and .perfconfig variable support to enable id. Default without debuginfo processing: # perf record -a Using system debuginfod setup: # perf record -a --debuginfod Using custom debuginfd url: # perf record -a --debuginfod='https://evenbetterdebuginfodserver.krava' Adding single perf_debuginfod_setup function and using it also in perf buildid-cache command.

perf cpumap: Give CPUs their own type

2022-01-12T17:28:23Z

A common problem is confusing CPU map indices with the CPU, by wrapping the CPU with a struct then this is avoided. This approach is similar to atomic_t. Committer notes: To make it build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 these files needed the conversions to 'struct perf_cpu' usage: tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c tools/perf/util/bpf_ftrace.c Also perf_env__get_cpu() was removed back in "perf cpumap: Switch cpu_map__build_map to cpu function". Additionally these needed to be fixed for the ARM builds to complete: tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/pmu.c Suggested-by: John Garry Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kajol Jain Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Mathieu Poirier Cc: Mike Leach Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Clarke Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Riccardo Mancini Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Suzuki Poulouse Cc: Vineet Singh Cc: coresight@lists.linaro.org Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: zhengjun.xing@intel.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220105061351.120843-49-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Record ARM64 LR register automatically

2021-12-21T21:35:23Z

On ARM64, automatically record the link register if the frame pointer mode is on. It will be used to do a dwarf unwind to find the caller of the leaf frame if the frame pointer was omitted.

perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID

2021-10-20T14:22:27Z

The PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID event provides a way to match AUX output data like Intel PT PEBS-via-PT back to the event that it came from, by providing a hardware ID that is present in the AUX output.

perf record: Add --synth option

2021-09-17T11:55:00Z

Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior. --synth Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe: $ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \ > perf report -i- -s cgroup Committer notes: Added a clarification to the man page entry for --synth that this is about pre-existing threads.

perf tools: Allow controlling synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ metadata events during record

2021-09-17T11:44:19Z

Depending on the use case, it might require some kind of synthesizing and some not. Make it controllable to turn off heavy operations like MMAP for all tasks. Currently all users are converted to enable all the synthesis by default. It'll be updated in the later patch.

tools: rename bitmap_alloc() to bitmap_zalloc()

2021-09-08T18:50:27Z

Rename bitmap_alloc() to bitmap_zalloc() in tools to follow the bitmap API in the kernel. No functional changes intended.

perf record: Fix wrong comm in system-wide mode with delay

2021-08-30T21:22:23Z

Stephane found that the name of the forked process in a system-wide mode is wrong when --delay option is used. For example, # perf record -a --delay=1000 noploop 3 The noploop process will run a busy loop for 3 second. And on an idle machine it should show up at the top in the perf report. It works well without the --delay option. But if I add the option, it showed 'perf' not 'noploop'. # perf report -s comm -q | head -3 52.94% perf 16.65% swapper 12.04% chrome It turned out that the dummy event didn't work at all and it missed COMM and MMAP events for the noploop process (and others too). We should enable the dummy event immediately in system-wide mode, as the enable-on-exec would work only for task events. With this change, # perf report -s comm -q | head -3 52.75% noploop 17.03% swapper 12.83% chrome Reported-by: Stephane Eranian Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210827233212.3121037-1-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
