License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

perf symbols: Use the buildids if present
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.
'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.
When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.
Example:
[root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
/home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
# Samples: 2621434559
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............................. ......
#
7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#
In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.
Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.
Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:
'perf list-buildids'
that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.
Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.
This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.
This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].
The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

perf record: Add ability to name registers to record
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.
The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.
With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.
To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:
$ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....
To record any possible registers:
$ perf record -I .....
$ perf report --intr-regs ...
To display the register, one can use perf report -D
To list the available registers:
$ perf record --intr-regs=\?

perf record: Apply config to BPF objects before recording
bpf__apply_obj_config() is introduced as the core API to apply object
config options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work
for setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.
This patch is required because we are not always able to set all BPF
config during parsing. Further patch will set events created by perf to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist until
perf_evsel__open().
bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key needs to be
configured. This function would be extended to support more map types
and different key settings.
In perf record, before start recording, call bpf__apply_config() to turn
on all BPF config options.

perf tools: Synthesize PERF_RECORD_* for loaded BPF programs
This patch synthesize PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL and PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT for
BPF programs loaded before perf-record. This is achieved by gathering
information about all BPF programs via sys_bpf.
Committer notes:
Fix the build on some older systems such as amazonlinux:1 where it was
breaking with:
util/bpf-event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog':

The compiler is wrong, but to silence it, initialize that variable to
zero.
One more fix, this time for debian:experimental-x-mips, x-mips64 and
x-mipsel:
util/bpf-event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog':
util/bpf-event.c:93:16: error: implicit declaration of function 'calloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().
Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.
Committer testing:
# perf record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.099 MB perf.data (1101 samples) ]

Changelog:
v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.
v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.
While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
"--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
timestamp boundary calculation.
v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
'--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.
At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
necessary.
v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

perf record: Change 'record.samples' type to unsigned long long
When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some
32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.
For example, run the below commands on 32 bit powerpc:
perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]
Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.
Build test ran on x86-64, x86, aarch64, arm, mips, ppc and ppc64.

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

__cmd_record (inlined)
cmd_record (/home/acme/bin/perf)
12919.953 ( 0.136 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc83150, count: 184984) = 184984
<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816
<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
12920.253 ( 0.093 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befb81120, count: 170832) = 170832
<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888
74985.406 ( 2.353 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff949ecb000, count: 3453256) = 3453256
74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio
size - number of bytes that was compressed
size ~= trace size x ratio
Committer notes:
Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:
Original patch:
# perf record -z2
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
#
After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
$ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
<SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
$
Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0 0x1b8 [0x155]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$
I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
Error:

0 0x1b8 [0x169]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf record: Generate PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} with --delay
When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not
enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload,
including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc,
enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata
events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso
and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover,
i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we
wait for the initial delay to expire.
So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().
Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Changelog:
v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.
v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.
While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
"--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
timestamp boundary calculation.
v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
'--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the

At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
While after consideration, I think a new option is not very

perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().
Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Changelog:
v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.
v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.
While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
"--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
timestamp boundary calculation.

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>

If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>

If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for

With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the

Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Fail to unwind
This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.
After this patch:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \

^^^^^
Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512
^^^^

Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf record: Ignore kptr_restrict when not sampling the kernel
If we're not sampling the kernel, we shouldn't care about kptr_restrict
neither synthesize anything for assisting in resolving kernel samples,
like the reference relocation symbol or kernel modules information.
Before:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
2
2
$ perf record sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.
Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.

perf tools: Synthesize PERF_RECORD_* for loaded BPF programs
This patch synthesize PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL and PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT for
BPF programs loaded before perf-record. This is achieved by gathering
information about all BPF programs via sys_bpf.
Committer notes:
Fix the build on some older systems such as amazonlinux:1 where it was
breaking with:
util/bpf-event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog':
util/bpf-event.c:52:9: error: missing initializer for field 'type' of 'struct bpf_prog_info' [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
struct bpf_prog_info info = {};
^
In file included from /git/linux/tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:26:0,
from util/bpf-event.c:3:
/git/linux/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:2699:8: note: 'type' declared here
__u32 type;
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Further fix on a centos:6 system:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/bpf-event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog':
util/bpf-event.c:50: error: 'func_info_rec_size' may be used uninitialized in this function
The compiler is wrong, but to silence it, initialize that variable to
zero.
One more fix, this time for debian:experimental-x-mips, x-mips64 and
x-mipsel:
util/bpf-event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog':
util/bpf-event.c:93:16: error: implicit declaration of function 'calloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
func_infos = calloc(sub_prog_cnt, func_info_rec_size);
^~~~~~
util/bpf-event.c:93:16: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'calloc' [-Werror]
util/bpf-event.c:93:16: note: include '<stdlib.h>' or provide a declaration of 'calloc'
Add the missing header.

perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.
Committer notes:
Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:
util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
^
Testing it:
# perf record --namespaces -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]
#
# perf report -D

perf record: Apply config to BPF objects before recording
bpf__apply_obj_config() is introduced as the core API to apply object
config options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work
for setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.
This patch is required because we are not always able to set all BPF
config during parsing. Further patch will set events created by perf to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist until
perf_evsel__open().
bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key needs to be
configured. This function would be extended to support more map types
and different key settings.
In perf record, before start recording, call bpf__apply_config() to turn
on all BPF config options.

perf tools: Save bpf_prog_info and BTF of new BPF programs
To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
information are needed:
1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
3) bpf_prog_info
4) btf
This patch handles 3) and 4) for BPF programs loaded after 'perf
record|top'.
For timely process of these information, a dedicated event is added to
the side band evlist.
When PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is received via the side band event, the
polling thread gathers 3) and 4) vis sys_bpf and store them in perf_env.
This information is saved to perf.data at the end of 'perf record'.
Committer testing:
The 'wakeup_watermark' member in 'struct perf_event_attr' is inside a
unnamed union, so can't be used in a struct designated initialization
with older gccs, get it out of that, isolating as 'attr.wakeup_watermark
= 1;' to work with all gcc versions.
We also need to add '--no-bpf-event' to the 'perf record'
perf_event_attr tests in 'perf test', as the way that that test goes is
to intercept the events being setup and looking if they match the fields
described in the control files, since now it finds first the side band
event used to catch the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, they all fail.
With these issues fixed:
Same scenario as for testing BPF programs loaded before 'perf record' or
'perf top' starts, only start the BPF programs after 'perf record|top',
so that its information get collected by the sideband threads, the rest
works as for the programs loaded before start monitoring.
Add missing 'inline' to the bpf_event__add_sb_event() when
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined, fixing the build in systems without
binutils devel files installed.

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Fail to unwind
This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

^^^^^
Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf record: Change 'record.samples' type to unsigned long long
When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some
32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.
For example, run the below commands on 32 bit powerpc:
perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -a ls perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]
Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.
Build test ran on x86-64, x86, aarch64, arm, mips, ppc and ppc64.

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

tools: Introduce str_error_r()
The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

out_child :
perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816

12920.253 ( 0.093 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befb81120, count: 170832) = 170832
<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888
74985.406 ( 2.353 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff949ecb000, count: 3453256) = 3453256
74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.
Committer notes:
Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:
util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
^
Testing it:

perf record: Add "nodelay" mode, disabled by default
Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.
So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:
(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
goto error;
}
38 if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
goto error;
icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);
43 ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
/*
* 18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
*
* RFC 1122: 3.2.2 Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
* discarded.
*/
50 if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
goto error;
$ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Fail to unwind
This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.
After this patch:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \

# perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998

^^^^^
Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf tools: Enable overwrite settings
This patch allows following config terms and option:
Globally setting events to overwrite;
# perf record --overwrite ...
Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.
For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
Test result:
# perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

perf tool: Add cgroup support
This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.
The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.
Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
2,368,667,414 cycles test1
2,369,661,459 cycles
<not counted> cycles test2

perf record: Add ability to name registers to record
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.
The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.
With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.
To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:
$ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....
To record any possible registers:
$ perf record -I .....
$ perf report --intr-regs ...
To display the register, one can use perf report -D
To list the available registers:
$ perf record --intr-regs=\?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.
Committer notes:
Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:
util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
^
Testing it:
# perf record --namespaces -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]

perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().
Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Changelog:
v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.
v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.
While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
"--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
timestamp boundary calculation.
v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
'--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.
At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
necessary.
v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

perf record: Implement -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option
Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode
collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).
Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when
profiling matrix multiplication workload:
-------------------------------------------------------------
| SERIAL | AIO-1 |
----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-z | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| 0 | 1,00 | 1,000 179,424 | 1,00 | 1,000 187,527 |
| 1 | 1,04 | 8,427 181,148 | 1,01 | 8,474 188,562 |

| 8 | 1,05 | 9,217 179,191 | 1,12 | 6,111 193,024 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio
size - number of bytes that was compressed
size ~= trace size x ratio
Committer notes:
Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:
Original patch:
# perf record -z2
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
#
After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
$ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
<SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
$
Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0 0x1b8 [0x155]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$
I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
Error:
failed to process sample
0 0x1b8 [0x169]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

perf tools: Make options always available, even if required libs not linked
This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If
one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be
notified.
Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a
OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option'
array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some
cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in
parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge
information in decorator option into the affacted option.
This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a
set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins
with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option
parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options
can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be
consumed.
Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.

perf tool: Add cgroup support
This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.
The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.
Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1

2,368,667,414 cycles test1

perf record: Implement -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option
Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode
collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).
Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when
profiling matrix multiplication workload:
-------------------------------------------------------------
| SERIAL | AIO-1 |
----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-z | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| 0 | 1,00 | 1,000 179,424 | 1,00 | 1,000 187,527 |
| 1 | 1,04 | 8,427 181,148 | 1,01 | 8,474 188,562 |
| 2 | 1,07 | 8,055 186,953 | 1,03 | 7,912 191,773 |
| 3 | 1,04 | 8,283 181,908 | 1,03 | 8,220 191,078 |
| 5 | 1,09 | 8,101 187,705 | 1,05 | 7,780 190,065 |
| 8 | 1,05 | 9,217 179,191 | 1,12 | 6,111 193,024 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio
size - number of bytes that was compressed
size ~= trace size x ratio
Committer notes:
Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:
Original patch:
# perf record -z2
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
#
After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
$ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
<SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
$
Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS

0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$
I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
Error:

perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is

perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

perf record: Do not ask for precise_ip with --no-samples
When the user doesn't specify an event with -e/--event, 'perf record'
will use as a default the "cycles" event with the highest level of
precision in perf_event_attr.precise_ip, but --no-samples, if present,
is incompatible with precise_ip != 0, so use the newly introduced
__perf_event__add_default(precise = false) to fix that:

perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid option
While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.
Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960 cpu 40 group_fd 118202 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961 cpu 40 group_fd 118203 flags 0x8
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962 cpu 40 group_fd [118203] flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22
That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.
sys_perf_event_open(){
...
if (group_fd != -1)
perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
...
if (group_leader)
if (group_leader->ctx->task != ctx->task)//should on the same task
goto err_context
...
}
This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.
Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition
Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.
Committer testing:
Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
[root@jouet ~]#
When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:
