Revert "perf hist: Add missing puts to hist__account_cycles"

2024-11-17T13:59:38Z

Revert "perf hist: Add missing puts to hist__account_cycles" This reverts commit a83fc293acd5c5050a4828eced4a71d2b2fffdd3. On x86 platform, kernel v5.10.228, perf-report command aborts due to "free(): invalid pointer" when perf-record command is run with taken branch stack sampling enabled. This regression can be reproduced with the following steps: - sudo perf record -b - sudo perf report The root cause is that bi[i].to.ms.maps does not always point to thread->maps, which is a buffer dynamically allocated by maps_new(). Instead, it may point to &machine->kmaps, while kmaps is not a pointer but a variable. The original upstream commit c1149037f65b ("perf hist: Add missing puts to hist__account_cycles") worked well because machine->kmaps had been refactored to a pointer by the previous commit 1a97cee604dc ("perf maps: Use a pointer for kmaps"). To this end, just revert commit a83fc293acd5c5050a4828eced4a71d2b2fffdd3. It is worth noting that the memory leak issue, which the reverted patch intended to fix, has been solved by commit cf96b8e45a9b ("perf session: Add missing evlist__delete when deleting a session"). The root cause is that the evlist is not being deleted on exit in perf-report, perf-script, and perf-data. Consequently, the reference count of the thread increased by thread__get() in hist_entry__init() is not decremented in hist_entry__delete(). As a result, thread->maps is not properly freed.

perf hist: Add fast path for duplicate entries check

2020-04-18T12:05:01Z

Perf checks the duplicate entries in a callchain before adding an entry. However the check is very slow especially with deeper call stack. Almost ~50% elapsed time of perf report is spent on the check when the call stack is always depth of 32. The hist_entry__cmp() is used to compare the new entry with the old entries. It will go through all the available sorts in the sort_list, and call the specific cmp of each sort, which is very slow. Actually, for most cases, there are no duplicate entries in callchain. The symbols are usually different. It's much faster to do a quick check for symbols first. Only do the full cmp when the symbols are exactly the same. The quick check is only to check symbols, not dso. Export _sort__sym_cmp. $ perf record --call-graph lbr ./tchain_edit_64 Without the patch $time perf report --stdio real 0m21.142s user 0m21.110s sys 0m0.033s With the patch $time perf report --stdio real 0m10.977s user 0m10.948s sys 0m0.027s Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexey Budankov Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Mathieu Poirier Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Pavel Gerasimov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ravi Bangoria Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Vitaly Slobodskoy Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200319202517.23423-18-kan.liang@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Add 'cgroup' sort key

2020-04-03T12:37:55Z

The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task. Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO. Otherwise root cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/". The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with the given substring. For example it will look like following. Note that record patch adding --all-cgroups patch will come later. $ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups cgtest [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.208 MB perf.data (4090 samples) ] $ perf report -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid ... # Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Cgroup Pid:Command # ........ ..................... .......... ............... # 93.96% 0/0x0 / 0:swapper 1.25% 3/0xeffffffb / 278:looper0 0.86% 3/0xf000015f /sub/cgrp1 280:cgtest 0.37% 3/0xf0000160 /sub/cgrp2 281:cgtest 0.34% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 282:cgtest 0.22% 3/0xeffffffb /sub 278:looper0 0.20% 3/0xeffffffb / 280:cgtest 0.15% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 285:looper3 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200325124536.2800725-6-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack

2020-03-10T00:42:53Z

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it. However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be wrong, since the output format is different with new struct branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return corresponding pointer of entries[0]. To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt. Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well. Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack. Committer notes: Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf, eventually. Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header. Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build on arm64.
