perf session: Add storage for seperating event types in report

2010-03-10T12:53:48Z

This patch adds the structures necessary to count each event type independently in perf report.

perf record: Stop intercepting events, use postprocessing to get build-ids

2010-02-04T08:33:27Z

We want to stream events as fast as possible to perf.data, and also in the future we want to have splice working, when no interception will be possible. Using build_id__mark_dso_hit_ops to create the list of DSOs that back MMAPs we also optimize disk usage in the build-id cache by only caching DSOs that had hits.

perf symbols: Remove perf_session usage in symbols layer

2010-02-04T08:33:24Z

I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file, events, etc, so I untied these layers. This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the main kernel map.

perf tools: Cross platform perf.data analysis support

2010-01-16T09:58:45Z

There are still some problems related to loading vmlinux files, but those are unrelated to the feature implemented in this patch, so will get fixed in the next patches, but here are some results: 1. collect perf.data file on a Fedora 12 machine, x86_64, 64-bit userland 2. transfer it to a Debian Testing machine, PARISC64, 32-bit userland acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ perf buildid-list | head -5 74f9930ee94475b6b3238caf3725a50d59cb994b [kernel.kallsyms] 55fdd56670453ea66c011158c4b9d30179c1d049 /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_MASQUERADE.ko 41adff63c730890480980d5d8ba513f1c216a858 /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko 90a33def1077bb8e97b8a78546dc96c2de62df46 /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat.ko 984c7bea90ce1376d5c8e7ef43a781801286e62d /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/drivers/net/tun.ko acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ perf buildid-list | tail -5 22492f3753c6a67de5c7ccbd6b863390c92c0723 /usr/lib64/libXt.so.6.0.0 353802bb7e1b895ba43507cc678f951e778e4c6f /usr/lib64/libMagickCore.so.2.0.0 d10c2897558595efe7be8b0584cf7e6398bc776c /usr/lib64/libfprint.so.0.0.0 a83ecfb519a788774a84d5ddde633c9ba56c03ab /home/acme/bin/perf d3ca765a8ecf257d263801d7ad8c49c189082317 /usr/lib64/libdwarf.so.0.0 acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ perf report --sort comm The file [kernel.kallsyms] cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms... ^^^^ The problem related to vmlinux handling, it shouldn't be trying this ^^^^ rather alien /proc/kallsyms at all... /lib64/libpthread-2.10.2.so with build id 5c68f7afeb33309c78037e374b0deee84dd441f6 not found, continuing without symbols /lib64/libc-2.10.2.so with build id eb4ec8fa8b2a5eb18cad173c92f27ed8887ed1c1 not found, continuing without symbols /home/acme/bin/perf with build id a83ecfb519a788774a84d5ddde633c9ba56c03ab not found, continuing without symbols /usr/sbin/openvpn with build id f2037a091ef36b591187a858d75e203690ea9409 not found, continuing without symbols Failed to open /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko, continuing without symbols Failed to open /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4-tip+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlcore.ko, continuing without symbols #

perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels

2010-01-13T09:09:11Z

DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on monitored threads. To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having 'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded like this: [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ] [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10 0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........ . 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........

Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as the relocation to apply. This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

perf session: Remove sample_type_check from event_ops

2009-12-28T08:03:34Z

This is really something tools need to do before asking for the events to be processed, leaving perf_session__process_events to do just that, process events. Also add a msg parameter to perf_session__has_traces() so that the right message can be printed, fixing a regression added by me in the previous cset (right timechart message) and also fixing 'perf kmem', that was not asking if 'perf kmem record' was ran.
