perf tools: Add mem2node object

2018-03-16T16:52:37Z

Adding mem2node object to allow the easy lookup of the node for the physical address. It has following interface: int mem2node__init(struct mem2node *map, struct perf_env *env); void mem2node__exit(struct mem2node *map); int mem2node__node(struct mem2node *map, u64 addr); The mem2node__toolsinit initialize object from the perf data file MEM_TOPOLOGY feature data. Following calls to mem2node__node will return node number for given physical address. The mem2node__exit function frees the object.

perf tools: Add decoder mechanic to support dumping trace data

2018-01-25T09:37:25Z

This patch adds the required interface to the openCSD library to support dumping CoreSight trace packet using the "report --dump" command. The information conveyed is related to the type of packets gathered by a trace session rather than full decoding.

perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are present

2018-01-23T12:51:38Z

Change the Makefile and build process to no longer require audit-libs interfaces when the architecture provides system call tables. Committer notes: Its not enough to hook into the NO_LIBAUDIT makefile block, we need to define a CONFIG_TRACE that gets selected by both architectures generating the syscall tables from the kernel headers and from detecting the availability of libaudit. With that in place we will not link against libaudit even if the necessary files are available for that, in fact we will not even try to detect its availability, speeding up a bit the feature detection phase.

perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support

2018-01-17T13:23:31Z

'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this release. Example usage: # perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000 # perf report --dump-raw-trace Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on another architecture host if necessary. Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such as: 0x5c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x200000 offset: 0 ref: 0x1891ad0e idx: 1 tid: 2227 cpu: 1 . . ...

Other release notes: - applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere - Report is self-contained within the tool. Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU. - The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be revisited for ARM SPE - Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported - Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported - Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however disabled for simplicity in this release Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips Reviewed-by: Dongjiu Geng Acked-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: Marc Zyngier Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Mathieu Poirier Cc: Pawel Moll Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Rob Herring Cc: Suzuki Poulouse Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Wang Nan Cc: Will Deacon Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180114132850.0b127434b704a26bad13268f@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Provide mutex wrappers for pthreads rwlocks

2017-09-21T16:28:06Z

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as 'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not. I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to single threaded mode in 'perf top'. The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf stat

2017-09-13T12:49:13Z

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't have an event name. We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a short cut to select several related metrics at once. Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or metric groups specified. Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request. % perf stat -M Summary --metric-only -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': Instructions CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization 317614222.0 1392930775.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.1 1.001497549 seconds time elapsed % perf stat -M GFLOPs flops Performance counter stats for 'flops': 3,999,541,471 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_single # 1.2 GFLOPs (66.65%) 14 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_double (66.65%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_double (66.67%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_single (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_double (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_single (66.67%) 0 duration_time 3.238372845 seconds time elapsed v2: Add missing header file v3: Move find_map to pmu.c Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831194036.30146-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf util: Create branch.c/.h for common branch functions

2017-07-19T02:14:40Z

Create new util/branch.c and util/branch.h to contain the common branch functions. Such as: branch_type_count(): Count the numbers of branch types branch_type_name() : Return the name of branch type branch_type_stat_display(): Display branch type statistics info branch_type_str(): Construct the branch type string. The branch type is saved in branch_flags. Change log: v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN. v7: Since the common branch type name is changed (e.g. JCC->COND), this patch is performed the modification accordingly. v6: Move that multiline conditional code inside {} brackets. Move branch_type_stat_display() from builtin-report.c to branch.c. Move branch_type_str() from callchain.c to branch.c. v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.
