perf evsel: Expose the perf_missing_features struct

2018-02-15T12:54:53Z

As tools may need to adjust to missing features, as 'perf top' will, in the next csets, to cope with a missing 'write_backward' feature.

perf record: Fix period option handling

2018-02-05T15:18:28Z

Stephan reported we don't unset PERIOD sample type when --no-period is specified. Adding the unset check and reset PERIOD if --no-period is specified. Committer notes: Check the sample_type, it shouldn't have PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD there when --no-period is used.

perf evsel: Fix period/freq terms setup

2018-02-05T15:11:58Z

Stephane reported that we don't set properly PERIOD sample type for events with period term defined. Before: $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls $ perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, ... After: $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls $ perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, ... Setting PERIOD sample type based on period term setup. Committer note: When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, to put the event period in each sample for this event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.

perf tools: Get rid of unused 'swapped' parameter from perf_event__synthesize_sample()

2018-01-18T12:01:23Z

There is never a need to synthesize a 'swapped' sample, so all callers to perf_event__synthesize_sample() pass 'false' as the value to 'swapped'. So get rid of the unused 'swapped' parameter.

perf callchains: Ask for PERF_RECORD_MMAP for data mmaps for DWARF unwinding

2018-01-17T13:23:33Z

When we use a global DWARF setting as in: perf record --call-graph dwarf According to 5c0cf22477ea ("perf record: Store data mmaps for dwarf unwind") we need to set up some extra perf_event_attr bits. But when we instead do a per event dwarf setting: perf record -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/ This was not being done, make them equivalent. This didn't produce any output changes in my tests while fixing up loose ends in the per-event settings, I found it just by comparing the perf_event_attr fields trying to find an explanation for those problems.

perf callchain: Fix attr.sample_max_stack setting

2018-01-17T13:23:31Z

When setting the "dwarf" unwinder for a specific event and not specifying the max-stack, the attr.sample_max_stack ended up using an uninitialized callchain_param.max_stack, fix it by using designated initializers for that callchain_param variable, zeroing all non explicitely initialized struct members. Here is what happened: # perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 callchain: type DWARF callchain: stack dump size 8192 perf_event_attr: type 2 size 112 config 0x730 { sample_period, sample_freq } 1 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC exclude_callchain_user 1 { wakeup_events, wakeup_watermark } 1 sample_regs_user 0xff0fff sample_stack_user 8192 sample_max_stack 50656 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75 Value too large for defined data type # perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 callchain: type DWARF callchain: stack dump size 8192 perf_event_attr: type 2 size 112 config 0x730 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC exclude_callchain_user 1 sample_regs_user 0xff0fff sample_stack_user 8192 sample_max_stack 30448 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75 Value too large for defined data type # Now the attr.sample_max_stack is set to zero and the above works as expected: # perf trace --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.072 ms --- ::1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.072/0.072/0.072/0.000 ms 0.000 probe_libc:inet_pton:(7feb7a998350)) __inet_pton (inlined) gaih_inet.constprop.7 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined) [0xffffaa39b6108f3f] (/usr/bin/ping) # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Hendrick Brueckner Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Thomas Richter Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-is9tramondqa9jlxxsgcm9iz@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Check if callchain is enabled before setting it up

2018-01-12T19:57:16Z

The construct: if (callchain_param) perf_evsel__config_callchain(evsel, opts, &callchain_param); happens in several places, so make perf_evsel__config_callchain() work just like free(NULL), do nothing if param->enabled is not set.
