2020-08-14perf ftrace: Select function/function_graph tracer automaticallyChangbin Du2-21/+25
The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option '--tracer' in this case. This patch changes the behavior as below: - If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used. - If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used. - The function_graph has priority over function tracer. - The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N is specified. Here are some examples. This will start tracing all functions using default tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace This will trace all functions using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G '*' This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read Committer notes: Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify the above examples: # perf ftrace -h -G -G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -g -g, --nograph-funcs <func> Set nograph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -T -T, --trace-funcs <func> trace given functions only # perf ftrace -h -N -N, --notrace-funcs <func> do not trace given functions # Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200808023141.14227-2-changbin.du@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2020-08-06perf header: Store clock references for -k/--clockid optionJiri Olsa1-0/+13
Add a new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times when -k/--clockid option is specified. It contains the clock id and its reference time together with wall clock time taken at the 'same time', both values are in nanoseconds. The format of data is as below: struct { u32 version; /* version = 1 */ u32 clockid; u64 wall_clock_ns; u64 clockid_time_ns; }; This clock reference times will be used in following changes to display wall clock for perf events.

2020-07-28perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmarkDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+11
The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160201074156.GA27156@gmail.com/ Committer notes: Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and getppid().

2020-05-29perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4Stephane Eranian3-0/+32
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.

2020-04-23perf record: Add num-synthesize-threads optionStephane Eranian1-0/+4
To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming. Mimic perf top way of handling the option. If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before this option. On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with >100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of seconds and in this case having the option is desirable. As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in place: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/ shows: ... - 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads - 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread + 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events + 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0 + 1.49% process_synthesized_event + 1.29% __GI___readdir64 + 0.60% __opendir ... That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-2-irogers@google.com/ Computing performance of multi threaded perf event synthesis by synthesizing events on CPU 0: Number of synthesis threads: 1 Average synthesis took: 127729.000 usec (+- 3372.880 usec) Average num. events: 21548.600 (+- 0.306) Average time per event 5.927 usec Number of synthesis threads: 2 Average synthesis took: 88863.500 usec (+- 385.168 usec) Average num. events: 21552.800 (+- 0.327) Average time per event 4.123 usec Number of synthesis threads: 3 Average synthesis took: 83257.400 usec (+- 348.617 usec) Average num. events: 21553.200 (+- 0.327) Average time per event 3.863 usec Number of synthesis threads: 4 Average synthesis took: 75093.000 usec (+- 422.978 usec) Average num. events: 21554.200 (+- 0.200) Average time per event 3.484 usec Number of synthesis threads: 5 Average synthesis took: 64896.600 usec (+- 353.348 usec) Average num. events: 21558.000 (+- 0.000) Average time per event 3.010 usec Number of synthesis threads: 6 Average synthesis took: 59210.200 usec (+- 342.890 usec) Average num. events: 21560.000 (+- 0.000) Average time per event 2.746 usec Number of synthesis threads: 7 Average synthesis took: 54093.900 usec (+- 306.247 usec) Average num. events: 21562.000 (+- 0.000) Average time per event 2.509 usec Number of synthesis threads: 8 Average synthesis took: 48938.700 usec (+- 341.732 usec) Average num. events: 21564.000 (+- 0.000) Average time per event 2.269 usec Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1 thread to 2.269 usec with 8.

2020-04-23perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval modeJin Yao1-0/+2
For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this interval. See the following examples: root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000422803 764,809 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI 1.000422803 2,234,932 cycles 2.001464585 1,960,061 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI 2.001464585 4,022,591 cycles The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1) root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000429493 2,869,311 cycles 1.000429493 816,875 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle 2.001516426 9,260,973 cycles 2.001516426 5,250,634 instructions # 0.87 insn per cycle The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is 0.57). The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval. perf_stat_process_counter() { if (config->interval) init_stats(ps->res_stats); } So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too. This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval. With this patch: root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000420924 2,408,818 inst_retired.any # 2.1 CPI 1.000420924 5,010,111 cycles 2.001448579 2,798,407 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI 2.001448579 4,599,861 cycles root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000428555 2,769,714 cycles 1.000428555 774,462 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle 2.001471562 3,595,904 cycles 2.001471562 1,243,703 instructions # 0.35 insn per cycle Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts generated in this interval.

2020-04-18perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmuJiri Olsa1-0/+5
The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's type is used via the following syntax: -e 'cpu/r3c/' -e 'cpum_cf/r0/' The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type. Committer testing: So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the 'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5: # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions event=0xc0 # Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close enough: # perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 919,794 rc0 919,898 instructions 1.000754579 seconds time elapsed 0.000715000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys # Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding: # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1 event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/' \___ unknown term valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore # Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU counter are accepted: # perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 892,948 cpu/rc0/ 893,052 rc0 893,156 instructions 1.000931819 seconds time elapsed 0.000916000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys # Requested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200416221405.437788-1-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
