perf branch: Extend branch type classification

2022-10-04T11:55:20Z

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel. Committer note: Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems, like: 75 8.89 ubuntu:20.04-x-powerpc64el : FAIL gcc version 10.3.0 (Ubuntu 10.3.0-1ubuntu1~20.04) inlined from 'branch_type_stat_display' at util/branch.c:152:4: /usr/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/include/bits/stdio2.h:100:10: error: '%8s' directive argument is null [-Werror=format-overflow=] 100 | return __fprintf_chk (__stream, __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1, __fmt, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 101 | __va_arg_pack ()); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Robin Murphy Cc: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Suzuki Poulouse Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Will Deacon Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220824044822.70230-7-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf branch: Add system error and not in transaction branch types

2022-10-04T11:55:20Z

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with two new branch types i.e system error (PERF_BR_SERROR) and not in transaction (PERF_BR_NO_TX) which got updated earlier in the kernel. This also updates corresponding branch type strings in branch_type_name(). Committer notes: At perf tools merge time this is only on PeterZ's tree, at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git perf/core So for testing one has to build a kernel with that branch, then test the tooling side from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Robin Murphy Cc: Suzuki Poulouse Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Will Deacon Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220824044822.70230-6-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf: Add irq and exception return branch types

2022-03-01T15:19:01Z

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1645681014-3346-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20Z

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for places where it was only serving to get something else. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-9h6dg6lsqe2usyqjh5rrues4@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove debug.h from places where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20Z

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available, and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many more. Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.

perf symbols: Move mem_info and branch_info out of symbol.h

2019-09-01T01:27:48Z

The mem_info struct goes to mem-events.h and branch_info goes to branch.h, where they belong, this way we can remove several headers from symbols.h and trim the include dependency tree more.

perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.h

2019-08-31T22:10:19Z

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using things from this indirect include.

perf tools: Remove perf.h from source files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32Z

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.

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.
