perf tools: Eliminate duplicate code and use PATH_MAX consistently

2011-11-28T12:11:04Z

No need for multiple definitions for STR() and die(), also use SuSv2's PATH_MAX instead of adding MAX_PATH.

perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scope

2011-08-12T12:28:45Z

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables, as below; $ perf probe -L pre_schedule 0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev) { 2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule) 3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev); } However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(), because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope. $ perf probe -V pre_schedule Available variables at pre_schedule @ int cpu long unsigned int* switch_count struct rq* rq struct task_struct* prev This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of the instance of inlined function. Here is the result. $ perf probe -V pre_schedule Available variables at pre_schedule @ struct rq* rq struct task_struct* prev Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110811110259.19900.85664.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Introduce debuginfo to encapsulate dwarf information

2011-07-15T20:14:19Z

Introduce debuginfo to encapsulate dwarf information. This new object allows us to reuse and expand debuginfo easily.

perf-probe: Move dwarf library routines to dwarf-aux.{c, h}

2011-07-15T20:10:17Z

Move dwarf library related routines to dwarf-aux.{c,h}. This includes several minor changes. - Add simple documents for each API. - Rename die_find_real_subprogram() to die_find_realfunc() - Rename line_walk_handler_t to line_walk_callback_t. - Minor cleanups.

perf probe: Add fastpath to do lookup by function name

2011-03-29T16:40:27Z

v3 -> v2: - Make pubname_search_cb more generic - Add fastpath to find_probes also v2 -> v1: - Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die) The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs. We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section to avoid the slow loop on CUs. 1.

perf tools: Remove hardcoded include paths for elfutils

2010-11-19T18:38:04Z

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling purposes). Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when files are needed from that directory. Tested by building perf: - Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64 - Built natively on x86_64 - Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location and manually included in CFLAGS Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Masami Hiramatsu LKML-Reference: <1289945793-31441-1-git-send-email-rmorell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Morell Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Add basic module support

2010-10-21T18:11:44Z

Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module " option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and variables in the given module. Currently, this supports only probing on running modules. Supporting off-line module probing is the next step. e.g.) [show lines] # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info 0 int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data) 1 { struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private 3 struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev; ... [show vars] # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3 Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3 @ (unknown_type) data struct drm_info_node* node struct seq_file* m [put a probe] # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m Add new event: probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1 [list probes] # ./perf probe -l probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...

perf probe: Show accessible global variables

2010-10-21T18:06:42Z

Add --externs for allowing --vars to show accessible global (externally defined) variables from a given probe point too. This will give you a hint which globals can be accessible from the probe point.

perf probe: Show accessible local variables

2010-10-21T17:59:06Z

Add -V (--vars) option for listing accessible local variables at given probe point. This will help finding which local variables are available for event arguments. e.g.) # perf probe -V call_timer_fn:23 Available variables at call_timer_fn:23 @ function_type* fn int preempt_count long unsigned int data struct list_head work_list struct list_head* head struct timer_list* timer struct tvec_base* base Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Frederic Weisbecker LKML-Reference: <20101021101323.3542.40282.stgit@ltc236.sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Rename common fields/functions from kprobe to probe.

2010-07-30T15:01:38Z

As a precursor for perf to support uprobes, rename fields/functions that had kprobe in their name but can be shared across perf-kprobes and perf-uprobes to probe.
