perf tools: Rename perf_session_env to perf_env

2015-08-28T17:53:55Z

As it is not necessarily tied to a perf.data file and needs using in places where a perf_session is not required.

perf report: Show call graph from reference events

2015-08-12T16:20:28Z

Introduce --show-ref-call-graph for perf report to print reference callgraph for no callgraph event. Here is an example. perf report --show-ref-call-graph --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 5 of event 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=fp/' # Event count (approx.): 144985 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... ................ ........................................ # 72.30% 0.00% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | ---entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | |--22.62%-- __GI___libc_nanosleep --77.38%-- [...] ...... # Samples: 6 of event 'cpu/instructions,call-graph=no/', show reference callgraph # Event count (approx.): 172780 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... ................ ........................................ # 73.16% 0.00% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | ---entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath | |--31.44%-- __GI___libc_nanosleep --68.56%-- [...] Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1439289050-40510-3-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf symbols: Store if there is a filter in place

2015-07-13T11:21:57Z

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists, for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI. But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms, --dsos, etc). So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in place.

perf tools: Move TUI-specific fields out of map_symbol

2015-05-05T21:13:24Z

The has_children and unfolded fields don't belong to the struct map_symbol since they're used by the TUI only. Move those fields out of map_symbol since the struct is also used by other places. This will also help to compact the sizeof struct hist_entry.

perf probe ppc64le: Fix ppc64 ABIv2 symbol decoding

2015-05-04T15:43:45Z

ppc64 ELF ABIv2 has a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). For purposes of probing, we need the LEP - the offset to which is encoded in st_other.

perf probe ppc: Use the right prefix when ignoring SyS symbols on ppc

2015-05-04T15:43:43Z

Use the proper prefix when ignoring SyS symbols on ppc ABIv1. While at it, generalize symbol selection so architectures can implement their own logic. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

perf probe ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

2015-05-04T15:43:42Z

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_fork _text+635952 # printf "%x" 635952 9b430 # grep do_fork /boot/System.map c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

perf tools: Add pid/tid filtering to report and script commands

2015-03-24T16:02:46Z

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data. Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only consider samples related to the given pids/tids. This is also inline with the existing comm option.

perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol name

2015-03-12T15:39:54Z

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso. When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be better to keep all names (including aliases). So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via symbol_conf.allow_aliases.
