37a058ea00 perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events
The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This
patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than
tracepoints too.

This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf
for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments
containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and
raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding.
The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can
also be generated with perf script:

 # Packed byte string args of process_event():
 #
 # $event:       union perf_event        util/event.h
 # $attr:        struct perf_event_attr  linux/perf_event.h
 # $sample:      struct perf_sample      util/event.h
 # $raw_data:    perf_sample->raw_data   util/event.h

 sub process_event
 {
         my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_;

         my @event       = unpack("LSS", $event);
         my @attr        = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr);
         my @sample      = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample);
         my @raw_data    = unpack("C*", $raw_data);

         use Data::Dumper;
         print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data;
 }

e20960c027 perf tools: Unify handling of features when writing feature section
The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled
different when writing the feature section. All other features are
simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without
returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This
patch unifies handling of the features.

This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently.
Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_
section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__
write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features
can be processed anyway.

Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id().

v2:
* perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated,
  which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

efad14150a perf report: Accept fifos as input file
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

I'm using a fairly recent binutils:

  GNU objdump version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc16 20110118

AFAICS the bug is simply that sym->end points to the last byte
of the symbol in question - while objdump's --stop-address
expects the last byte plus 1 to disassemble the full range.

defd8d3877 perf tools: Fix comm for processes with named threads
perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads.
For example:

$ ps -C myapp -L
  PID   LWP TTY          TIME CMD
25118 25118 ?        00:00:00 myapp
25118 25119 ?        00:00:00 myapp:worker

perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10
perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data
   100.00%  myapp:worker  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] perf_event_task_sched_out

The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the
process.

The Problem:
perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be
monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which
loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread
to generate COMM and MMAP events.

__event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens
/proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id.
That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and
generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found
in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest.

The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for
each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets
the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for
multithreaded processes with named threads.

The Fix:
perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides
whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently
never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it
always passes the value 1). Let's fix that.

Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes
it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full
to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid
passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events
are generated for all threads in a process.

On failure, perf_evlist__mmap_per_{cpu,thread} will try to munmap()
every map that doesn't have a NULL base. This will fail with EINVAL if
one of them has base == MAP_FAILED, clobbering errno, so that

3e76ac78b0 perf record: Add ability to record event period
The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates
a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these
samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a
defined limit.

E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms.  perf got 100 events in both cases.

swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]

In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second
case it wants to send 1386750 events.  perf-reports shows that process
sleeps in both places equal time.

Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As
result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and
we avoid throttling of samples.

The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a
kernel part of this functionality.

317df650c5 perf script: Implement option for system-wide profiling
The option is documented in man perf-script but was not yet implemented:

       -a
           Force system-wide collection. Scripts run without a
           <command> normally use -a by default, while scripts run
           with a <command> normally don't - this option allows the
           latter to be run in system-wide mode.

As with perf record you now can profile in system-wide mode for the
runtime of a given command, e.g.:

 # perf script -a syscall-counts sleep 2

perf stat is failing on PowerPC:

  Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

commit 370faf1dd0 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events)

returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the
same.

3e7c439a7c perf test: Validate PERF_RECORD_ events and perf_sample fields
This new test will validate these new routines extracted from 'perf
record':

 - perf_evlist__config_attrs
 - perf_evlist__prepare_workload
 - perf_evlist__start_workload

In addition to several other perf_evlist methods.

It consists of starting a simple workload, setting up just one event to
monitor ("cycles") requesting that several PERF_SAMPLE_ fields be
present in all events.

It then will check that the expected PERF_RECORD_ events are produced
and will sanity check all its fields.

Some checks performed:

. PERF_SAMPLE_TIME monotonically increases.

. PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is the one requested with sched_setaffinity

. PERF_SAMPLE_TID and PERF_SAMPLE_PID matches the one we forked
  in perf_evlist__prepare_workload and that is stored in
  evlist->workload.pid

. For the events where these fields are also present in its
  pre-sample_id_all fields (e.g. event->mmap.pid), that they are what
  is expected too.

. That we get a bunch of mmaps:

  PATH/libcSUFFIX
  PATH/ldSUFFIX
  [vdso]
  PATH/sleep
