perf evlist: Store 'overwrite' in struct perf_mmap

2018-03-08T13:05:50Z

It has been determined that the map is for overwrite mode (evlist->overwrite_mmap) or non-overwrite mode (evlist->mmap) when calling perf_evlist__alloc_mmap(). Store the information in struct perf_mmap, which will be used later to simplify the perf_mmap__read*() interfaces.

perf mmap: Discard legacy interfaces for mmap read forward

2018-03-05T13:51:10Z

Discards legacy interfaces perf_evlist__mmap_read_forward(), perf_evlist__mmap_read() and perf_evlist__mmap_consume(). No tools use them.

perf tools: Use target->per_thread and target->system_wide flags

2018-02-16T17:55:40Z

Mathieu Poirier reports issue in commit ("73c0ca1eee3d perf thread_map: Enumerate all threads from /proc") that it has negative impact on 'perf record --per-thread'. It has the effect of creating a kernel event for each thread in the system for 'perf record --per-thread'. Mathieu Poirier's patch ("perf util: Do not reuse target->per_thread flag") can fix this issue by creating a new target->all_threads flag. This patch is based on Mathieu Poirier's patch but it doesn't use a new target->all_threads flag. This patch just uses 'target->per_thread && target->system_wide' as a condition to check for all threads case.

perf evlist: Remove stale mmap read for backward

2018-02-15T12:50:53Z

perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() and perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() are only for overwrite mode. But they read the evlist->mmap buffer which is for non-overwrite mode. It did not bring any serious problem yet, because there is no one use it. Remove the unused interfaces.

perf mmap: Fix perf backward recording

2017-12-05T18:45:36Z

'perf record' backward recording doesn't work as we expected: it never overwrites when ring buffer gets full. Test: Run a busy python printing task background like this: while True: print 123 send SIGUSR2 to perf to capture snapshot, then: # ./perf record --overwrite -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit --exclude-perf -a --switch-output [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101520743 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521251 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521692 ] ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017110101521936 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.826 MB perf.data. ] # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101520743 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101521251 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 # ./perf script -i ./perf.data.2017110101521692 | head -n3 perf 2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0) perf 2717 [000] 12449.310790: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 7 (4112340, 2, ffffffff, 3df, 100, 0) python 2545 [000] 12449.310800: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4 Timestamps never change, but my background task is a dead loop, can easily overwhelm the ring buffer. This patch fixes it by forcing unsetting PROT_WRITE for a backward ring buffer, so all backward ring buffers become overwrite ring buffers.

perf mmap: Remove overwrite and check_messup from mmap read
