perf tools: Cache register accesses for unwind processing

2014-06-12T14:53:19Z

Caching registers value into an array. Got about 4% speed up of perf_reg_value function for report command processing dwarf unwind stacks. Output from report over 1.5 GB data with DWARF unwind stacks: (TODO fix perf diff) current code: 5.84% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value change: 1.94% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value And little bit of overall speed up: (perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles,instructions}:u' ...) current code: 310,298,611,754 cycles ( +- 0.33% ) 439,669,689,341 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 188.656753166 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.82% ) change: 291,315,329,878 cycles ( +- 0.22% ) 391,763,485,304 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 180.742249687 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.64% ) Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jean Pihet Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401892622-30848-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tools: Update mmap2 interface with protection and flag bits

2014-06-09T11:34:45Z

The kernel piece passes more info now. Update the perf tool to reflect that and adjust the synthesized maps to play along. Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1400526833-141779-4-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tools: Move sample data structures from perf.h

2014-05-05T15:47:40Z

Into util/event.h header where all sample data structures are defined.

perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump

2014-02-18T12:34:48Z

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information compact. The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more into the struct regs_dump.

perf record: Get ref_reloc_sym from kernel map

2014-01-31T20:21:50Z

Now that ref_reloc_sym is set up when the kernel map is created, 'perf record' does not need to pass the symbol names to perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() which can read the values needed from ref_reloc_sym directly.

perf tools: Add kallsyms__get_function_start()

2014-01-31T20:21:47Z

Separate out the logic used to find the start address of the reference symbol used to track kernel relocation. kallsyms__get_function_start() is used in subsequent patches.

perf record: Synthesize non-exec MMAP records when --data used

2013-11-11T18:56:39Z

When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing threads, as we do for exec mmaps. Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

perf tools: Finish the removal of 'self' arguments

2013-11-05T18:32:36Z

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more sensibly.

perf evlist: Fix perf_evlist__mmap_read event overflow

2013-10-11T15:17:40Z

The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for event crossing the mmap boundary. This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max. I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces sample with the size around 8192 bytes. We could configure any valid sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'. Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack. TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some lazy allocation for event_copy size.
