2010-06-17perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.dataAndy Isaacson
If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT. In particular, this fixes the nonsensical advice when: % sudo perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.009 MB perf.data (~381 samples) ] % perf trace failed to open file: perf.data (try 'perf record' first) % Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> LPU-Reference: <20100612033615.GA24731@hexapodia.org> Signed-off-by: Andy Isaacson <adi@hexapodia.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2010-06-17perf probe: Add kernel source path optionChase Douglas
The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags, but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to specify the root of the kernel source tree.

2010-06-17perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cacheStephane Eranian
There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images). A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file, simply do: [buildid] dir = /dev/null This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still generated in the perf.data file. Cc: David S.

2010-06-17perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookupEric B Munson
Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures that use function descriptors such as ppc64. The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address. We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

2010-06-17perf record: Avoid synthesizing mmap() for all processes in per-thread modeStephane Eranian
A bug was introduced by commit c45c6ea2e5c57960dc67e00294c2b78e9540c007. Perf record was scanning /proc/PID to create synthetic PERF_RECOR_MMAP entries even though it was running in per-thread mode. There was a bogus check to select what mmaps to synthesize. We only need all processes in system-wide mode. Cc: David S.

2010-06-09perf tools: Reorganize the Makefile feature testsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc function similar to the try-run in Kbuild. This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where /dev/null can't be used as the output file name. As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for features, we can more properly use identation. The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to see what is needed to have bfd_demangle. We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the distance from the kernel build system.

2010-06-05perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dirStephane Eranian
This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup, dso__build_id_filename, etc). For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be made. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

2010-06-01perf buildid-list: Fix --with-hits event processingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we use plain 'perf buildid-list' we use only what is in the buildid table in the perf.data header. And those have absolute pathnames because at 'perf record' time we used __perf_session__process_events and that doesn't sets up the path shortening code in map__new() that happens if symbol_conf.full_paths is false, the default. On the other hand, when we use 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' we process all the events using perf_session__process_events, adding entries to the global DSO list _after_ removing the current directory from the DSO name, for presentation purposes. Because of that we end up having two entries in the DSO list when recording events for binaries using relative pathnames. Fix it minimally by setting symbol_conf.full_paths to true when marking the DSOs with hits in 'perf buildid-list --with-hits', as used by 'perf archive' Right fix longer term is to shorten the path only at presentation time. Will be done for 2.6.36. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

perf sched uses event__process_comm(), which means it can resolve comms from: - tasks that have exec'ed (kernel comm events) - tasks that were running when perf record started the actual recording (synthetized comm events) But perf sched can't resolve the pids of tasks that were created after the recording started. To solve this, we need to inherit the comms on fork events using event__process_task(). This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, easily visible with: perf sched record perf bench sched messaging Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
2010-05-31perf: Process comm events by tidFrederic Weisbecker
When we synthetize the existing running tasks though procfs, we walk through every threads of a process, queuing one comm events per tid. But then on report time, event__process_comm() only creates and sets the comm on a per process granularity. This is the right thing for comm events that came from the kernel, as they are only created on exec. Sub-threads then inherit their comm from fork events. But that doesn't work with our synthetized comm events taken from procfs informations as the per thread granularity is done on comm events directly there. Hence we need event__process_comm() to work with the tid rather than the pid. It won't change anything for comm events coming from the kernel but this will fix the synthetized ones. Before: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 After: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5299 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5300 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5308 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5309 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5312 This fixes various unresolved pid on perf sched.

2010-05-27perf tui: Fix last use_browser problem related to .perfconfigArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we moved to using ~/.perfconfig to set the value of use_browser, it changed from a boolean to an int so that the convention used for use_pager was followed. That convention is: -1: unspecified, that is what use_{browser,pager} is initialized 0: Don't use the browser (should be TUI), because was explicitely set to 0/off/false on ~/.perfconfig [tui] cmd =, or because we're redirecting the stdout to a file or piping it to some other command (!isatty()). 1: Use the TUI Some code was not properly audited and continued testing it as a boolean, this seems to be the last one.
