perf evlist: Fix side band thread draining

2019-04-17T17:30:11Z

Current perf_evlist__poll_thread() code could finish without draining the data. Adding the logic that makes sure we won't finish before the drain.

perf evsel: Fix max perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection

2019-03-28T17:31:56Z

After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default cycles event) to perf_evsel__open(). The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it currently checks only hw cycles. We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed. This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with allowed precise_ip settings. We can see that code activity with -vv, like: $ perf record -vv ls ... ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 ... precise_ip 3 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 9926 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -95 decreasing precise_ip by one (2) ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 ... precise_ip 2 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 9926 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4 ...

perf evlist: Introduce side band thread

2019-03-21T14:27:03Z

This patch introduces side band thread that captures extended information for events like PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. This new thread uses its own evlist that uses ring buffer with very low watermark for lower latency. To use side band thread, we need to: 1. add side band event(s) by calling perf_evlist__add_sb_event(); 2. calls perf_evlist__start_sb_thread(); 3. at the end of perf run, perf_evlist__stop_sb_thread(). In the next patch, we use this thread to handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Committer notes: Add fix by Jiri Olsa for when te sb_tread can't get started and then at the end the stop_sb_thread() segfaults when joining the (non-existing) thread. That can happen when running 'perf top' or 'perf record' as a normal user, for instance. Further checks need to be done on top of this to more graciously handle these possible failure scenarios.

perf evsel: Probe for precise_ip with simple attr

2019-03-06T21:19:45Z

Currently we probe for precise_ip with user specified perf_event_attr, which might fail because of unsupported kernel features, which would get disabled during the open time anyway. Switching the probe to take place on simple hw cycles, so the following record sets proper precise_ip: # perf record -e cycles:P ls # perf evlist -v cycles:P: size: 112, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

perf tools: Add missing sigqueue() prototype for systems lacking it

There are systems such as the Android NDK API level 24 has the sigqueue() function but doesn't provide a prototype, adding noise to the build: util/evlist.c: In function 'perf_evlist__prepare_workload': util/evlist.c:1494:4: warning: implicit declaration of function 'sigqueue' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] if (sigqueue(getppid(), SIGUSR1, val)) ^ util/evlist.c:1494:4: warning: nested extern declaration of 'sigqueue' [-Wnested-externs] Define a LACKS_SIGQUEUE_PROTOTYPE define so that code needing that can get a prototype.

perf record: Enable asynchronous trace writing

2018-12-17T17:55:08Z

The trace file offset is read once before mmaps iterating loop and written back after all performance data is enqueued for aio writing. The trace file offset is incremented linearly after every successful aio write operation. record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of the started AIO operation and then proceeds. record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete aio write requests.
