perf tools: Support shortcuts for events in dynamic sort keys

The dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name
is rather inconvenient.  This patch adds more ways to identify the event
in a more compact way.

  1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted.
  2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign.
  3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous.  The partial
     name should not contain ':' in it.
  4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'.

So in the below example all does same thing:

  $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1

  $ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm
  $ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm
  $ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm

Namhyung Kim [Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:07:02 +0000 (02:07 +0900)]
perf tools: Add dynamic sort key for tracepoint events

The existing sort keys are less useful for tracepoint events in that
they are always sampled at the same place, the function where the
tracepoint is located.

For example, a 'perf report' on sched:sched_switch event looks like the
following:

  # Overhead  Command          Shared Object     Symbol
  # ........  ...............  ................  ..............
  #
      47.22%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule
      21.67%  transmission-gt  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule
       8.23%  netctl-auto      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule
       5.53%  kworker/0:1H     [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule
       1.98%  Xephyr           [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule

       0.85%  ksoftirqd/0      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule
       0.77%  Timer            [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __schedule

In fact, tracepoints have meaningful information in their fields but
there's no way to use in 'perf report' currently.  The dynamic sort keys
are introduced in this patc to overcome this limitation.

The sched:sched_switch events have following fields:

  # sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
  name: sched_switch
  ID: 268
  format:
field:unsigned short common_type;         offset:0; size:2; signed:0;

field:long prev_state;    offset:32; size:8;  signed:1;
field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1;
field:pid_t next_pid;     offset:56; size:4;  signed:1;
field:int next_prio;      offset:60; size:4;  signed:1;

  print fmt: "prev_comm=%s prev_pid=%d prev_prio=%d prev_state=%s%s ==>
              next_comm=%s next_pid=%d next_prio=%d",
    REC->prev_comm, REC->prev_pid, REC->prev_prio,
    REC->prev_state & (2048-1) ? __print_flags(REC->prev_state & (2048-1),
    "|", { 1, "S"} , { 2, "D" }, { 4, "T" }, { 8, "t" }, { 16, "Z" }, { 32, "X" },

    REC->prev_state & 2048 ? "+" : "", REC->next_comm, REC->next_pid, REC->next_prio

With dynamic sort keys, you can use <event.field> as a sort key.  Those
dynamic keys are checked and created on demand.  For instance, below is
to sort by next_pid field output on the same data file:

  $ perf report -s comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid --stdio
  ...
  # Overhead  Command            next_pid
  # ........  ...............  ..........
  #

       1.37%  swapper               27476
       1.17%  swapper                 233

Multiple dynamic sort keys are also supported:

  $ perf report -s comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm --stdio

perf/x86: Fix filter_events() bug with event mappings

This patch fixes a bug in the filter_events() function.

The patch fixes the bug whereby if some mappings did not
exist, e.g., STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND, then any event after it
in the attrs array would disappear from the published list of
events in /sys/devices/cpu/events. This could be verified
easily on any system post SNB (which do not publish
STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND):

$ ./perf stat -e cycles,ref-cycles true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
              1,217,348      cycles
<not supported>      ref-cycles

The problem is that in filter_events() there is an assumption
that the argument (attrs) is organized in increasing continuous
event indexes related to the event_map(). But if we remove the
non-supported events by shifing the position in the array, then
the lookup x86_pmu.event_map() needs to compensate for it, otherwise
we are looking up the wrong index. This patch corrects this problem
by compensating for the deleted events and with that ref-cycles
reappears (here shown on Haswell):

8 years agoperf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST for cycles: ppp
Andi Kleen [Fri, 4 Dec 2015 11:50:52 +0000 (03:50 -0800)]
perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST for cycles: ppp

Add a new 'three-p' precise level, that uses INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as
base. The basic mechanism of abusing the inverse cmask to get all
cycles works the same as before.

PREC_DIST is available on Sandy Bridge or later. It had some problems
on Sandy Bridge, so we only use it on IvyBridge and later. I tested it
on Broadwell and Skylake.

PREC_DIST has special support for avoiding shadow effects, which can
give better results compare to UOPS_RETIRED. The drawback is that
PREC_DIST can only schedule on counter 1, but that is ok for cycle
sampling, as there is normally no need to do multiple cycle sampling
runs in parallel. It is still possible to run perf top in parallel, as
that doesn't use precise mode. Also of course the multiplexing can
still allow parallel operation.

:pp stays with the previous event.

Example:

Sample a loop with 10 sqrt with old cycles:pp

  0.14 â”‚10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0     <--------------
  9.13 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 11.58 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 11.51 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
  6.27 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.38 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 12.20 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 12.74 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
  5.40 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.14 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.51 â”‚    â†‘ jmp    10

We expect all 10 sqrt to get roughly the sample number of samples.

But you can see that the instruction directly after the JMP is
systematically underestimated in the result, due to sampling shadow
effects.

With the new PREC_DIST based sampling this problem is gone and all
instructions show up roughly evenly:

  9.51 â”‚10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 11.74 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 11.84 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
  6.05 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.46 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 12.25 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 12.18 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
  5.26 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.13 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
 10.43 â”‚      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
  0.16 â”‚    â†‘ jmp    10

Even with PREC_DIST there is still sampling skid and the result is not
completely even, but systematic shadow effects are significantly
reduced.

The improvements are mainly expected to make a difference in high IPC
code. With low IPC it should be similar.

   because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry.

perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops

This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().

I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.

So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing.  Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.

For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.

This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.

Peter Zijlstra [Tue, 15 Dec 2015 12:49:05 +0000 (13:49 +0100)]
perf: Fix race in swevent hash

There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
while it can still have events on. This will result in a
use-after-free which is BAD.

Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
around and no use-after-free takes place.

When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
will occur.

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not

This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.

Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-3' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull new perf tool feature from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

" User visible changes:

  - Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the scripting
    capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat' specific scripting
    support to calculate event ratios, etc. Simple example:

    $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

           1,134,996      cycles

         0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf stat report

     Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

           1,134,996      cycles

         0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

    $

    It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

    $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
    0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
    0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
    0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
    0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
    -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
    0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
    [acme@ssdandy linux]$

    An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to not
    generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

    The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

  Jiri's cover letter for this series:

  The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed triggering user's
  script on the end of the stat command:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2

  This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language and rather adds support
  to:

    - store stat data into perf.data file
    - add python support to process stat events

  Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and post process it with
  python scripts in a similar way we do for sampling data.

  The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
    stat        - stored for each read syscall of the counter
    stat round  - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
    stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
                  so report tool could restore the same output as record

  The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
  to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data.

  See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py."

Also a few other changes:

User visible changes:

  - Make command line options always available, even when they
    depend on some feature being enabled, warning the user about
    use of such options (Wang Nan)

  - Support --vmlinux in perf record, useful, so far, for eBPF,
    where we will set up events that will be used in the record
    session (He Kuang)

  - Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
    --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
    reads in the PMI on Skylake.  (Andi Kleen)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Dump the stack when a 'perf test -v ' entry segfaults, so far we
    would have to run it under gdb with 'set follow-fork-mode child'
    set to get a proper backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Initialize the refcnt in 'struct thread' to 1 and fixup its
    users accordingly, so that we try to have the same refcount
    model accross the perf codebase (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - More prep work for moving the subcmd infrastructure out of
    tools/perf/ and into tools/lib/subcmd/ to be used by other
    tools/ living utilities (Josh Poimboeuf)

It's needed so that the report tools (report/script) can differentiate

the auto-detected features get re-tested for every build, which is
unnecessary and inconsistent with the behavior seen when building
directly in the source tree.

Another issue is that 'make O=<dir> clean' doesn't remove the feature
files from the object tree.

perf record: Add record.build-id config option

Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.

What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
matching the binaries found at 'record' time.

Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
changed from 'record' to 'report' time.

Add a new config option to control this behavior.

The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
values:

 - cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
          build-id cache (in ~/.debug).  This is the default.
 - no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
             Same effect as using the -N option.
 - skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
         Same effect as using the -B option.
