Make perf stat use group read if there are groups defined. The group
read will get the values for all member of groups within a single
syscall instead of calling read syscall for every event.
We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles spent on single
group read, than reading each event separately, like for following perf
stat command:
# perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1
Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'"
Before:
24,325,676 cycles:u
297,040,775 cycles:k
1.038554134 seconds time elapsed
After:
25,034,418 cycles:u
158,256,395 cycles:k
1.036864497 seconds time elapsed

Currently we use the size of struct perf_counts_values to read the
event, which prevents us to put any new member to the struct.
Adding perf_evsel__read_size to return size of the buffer needed for

Today, when a JSON file fails parsing the build continues, but there are
no json files built in, which is difficult to debug later. Make the
build stop on a parse error instead.

with no JSON events correctly. And fix some stale comments.

Current --branch-history LBR annotation displays confused data. For
example, each cycles report is duplicated on both "from" and "to"
entries.
For example:
perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio
--2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7% cycles:1)
main div.c:44 (predicted:49.7% cycles:1)
main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)
The cycles should be tagged only on the "from". It's for the code block
that ends with "from", not for "to".
Another issue is the "predicted:49.7%" is duplicated too (tag on both
"from" and "to").
This patch tags the branch type/flag on "to" and tag the cycles on
"from".
For example:
--2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)
main div.c:44 (cycles:1)
main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M)
|
--2.23%--__random_r random_r.c:392 (cycles:9)
In this example, The "main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)"
is "to" of branch and "main div.c:44 (cycles:1)" is "from" of branch.
It should be easier for understanding than before.

perf record -b -g <command>
perf report --branch-history
This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs.
However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in
perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf
report errors in this case. For example,
perf record -b <command>
perf report --branch-history
Error:
Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did
you call 'perf record' without -g?
This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled
in perf record.
Change log:
v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error
message. Now the error message is:
┌─Error:─────────────────────────────────────┐
│Selected -g or --branch-history. │
│But no callchain or branch data. │
│Did you call 'perf record' without -g or -b?│

The process_event python hook receives a dict with all perf_sample
entries, but the tracepoint specific and trace_unhandled hooks predate
the introduction of this dict, and do not receive it.
Add the aforementioned dict as an additional argument to the affected

do not pass the dict if the number of arguments signals that handler
version predates this change.

The goal is to allow users to override linking of libraries that
were automatically added to PERFLIBS.
EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS contains linker flags to be removed from LIBS
while EXTRA_PERFLIBS contains linker flags to be added.
My use case is to force certain library to be build statically,
e.g. for libelf:
EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS=-lelf EXTRA_PERFLIBS=path/libelf.a

On s390x the kernel text segment starts at address 0x0. When perf
report reads kernel symbols from vmlinux file it adds an offset of
0x1000.
For example see symbol set_reset_devices:
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]# nm -A vmlinux| fgrep set_reset_devices
vmlinux:0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]#
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]# fgrep set_reset_devices /proc/kallsyms
0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]#
The kernel symbol table and the vmlinux file have the same address for
symbol set_reset_devices namely 1379000.
When perf report reads this symbols it displays it with address
symbol__new: set_reset_devices 0x137a000-0x137a018
There is a difference between perf report and vmlinux of 0x1000.
The reason for the difference is at kernel symbol load time in function
dso__load_sym(). The vmlinux file is investigated with its ELF header.
Command readelf shows this:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
[ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000
0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00001000
0000000000b0e0c2 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 128
This leads to an invalid calculation of the symbol start address, see
file utit/symbol-elf.c line 974:
/* Adjust symbol to map to file offset */
if (adjust_kernel_syms)
sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset;
With shdr.sh_addr set to 0x0 and shdr.sh_offset set to 0x1000 as read
from the ELF .text section 0x1000 is added to the symbol address.
I would like to fix this by introducing an archticture specific function
named elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). This is the same approach as done by
PowerPC. The function currently does not exist for s390x and the
default weak one is used. The s390x specific one returns false when
symsrc_init() is invoked for kernel symbols and results in variable
adjust_kernel_syms being false. This omits the adjustment and the
correct address is displayed (when symbol resolvement does not work).
The s390x specific function returns false for kernel symbol adjustment
and returns true for kernel modules, processes and shared libraries.

struct sym_hist has addr[] but it should have not only number of samples
but also the sample period. So use new struct symhist_entry to pave the
way to have that.
Committer notes:
This initial patch will only introduce the struct sym_hist_entry and use
only the nr_samples member, which makes the code clearer and paves the
way to save the period as well.

Replacing prefixcmp(), same purpose, inverted result, so standardize on

And then doing:

Looks clearer than doing:

Avoiding a loop, so now its quite convenient to ssh to a machine and
then simply do:
# perf trace
To trace all syscalls without causing a loop.
This was possible using --filter-pids, i.e. once you noticed the loop,
get the sshd pid and add it to --filter-pids, restarting the 'perf
trace'.
Now to figure out how to do that in a X terminal, the other common
scenario, which is way more involved, as there are multiple processes
communicating to process terminal activity...
Using --filter-pids + '-e \!syscall,names,you,dont,need' may be a good
approximation when having to do syswide tracing on your workstation.

No change in functionality, just to make clearer that what we want when
filtering the tracer pid in a system wide tracing session is to avoid a
feedback loop.
This also paves the way for a more interesting loop avoidance algorithm,
one that tries to figure out if we are in a ssh session, xterm, etc.

All callers now can use syscall__arg_val(arg, idx), be it to iterate
thru the syscall arguments while taking into account alignment, or to

Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set,
i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/.
But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg
beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it.
With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall,
which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

The root cause of the bug is that the following commit:
487f05e18a ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts")
erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the
event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group
leader's pinned state that matters.
This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction
counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not;
in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events'
periods), but should be the same within the error margin.
Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

Show branch type in callchain entry. The branch type is printed
with other LBR information (such as cycles/abort/...).
For example:
perf record -g -j any,save_type
perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

Change log
v6: Remove the branch_type_str() since it's moved to branch.c.
v5: Rewrite the branch info print code in util/callchain.c.
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio.
For example:
perf report --stdio
COND_FWD: 28.5%
COND_BWD: 9.4%
CROSS_4K: 0.7%
CROSS_2M: 14.1%
COND: 37.9%
UNCOND: 0.2%
IND: 6.7%
CALL: 26.5%
RET: 28.7%
SYSRET: 0.0%
The branch types are:
COND_FWD: conditional forward
COND_BWD: conditional backward
COND: conditional branch
UNCOND: unconditional branch
IND: indirect
CALL: function call
IND_CALL: indirect function call
RET: function return
SYSCALL: syscall
SYSRET: syscall return
COND_CALL: conditional function call
COND_RET: conditional function return
CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:
They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.
To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.
Change log
v7: Since the common branch type definitions are changed, some
tags/strings are updated accordingly.
v6: Remove branch_type_stat_display() since it's moved to branch.c.
v5: Remove the unnecessary sort__mode checking in
hist_iter__branch_callback().
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
Add the computing of JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page checking
by using the from and to addresses.

Create new util/branch.c and util/branch.h to contain the common branch
functions. Such as:
branch_type_count(): Count the numbers of branch types
branch_type_name() : Return the name of branch type
branch_type_stat_display(): Display branch type statistics info
branch_type_str(): Construct the branch type string.
The branch type is saved in branch_flags.
Change log:
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
v7: Since the common branch type name is changed (e.g. JCC->COND),
this patch is performed the modification accordingly.
v6: Move that multiline conditional code inside {} brackets.
Move branch_type_stat_display() from builtin-report.c to
branch.c.
Move branch_type_str() from callchain.c to branch.c.
v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.

The branch info such as predicted/cycles/... are printed at the
callchain entries.
For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio
--1.07%--main div.c:39 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1 iterations:17)
main div.c:44 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1)
main div.c:42 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:297 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
But the current code is difficult to maintain and extend. This patch
refactors the code for easy maintenance.
Change log:
v6: 1. Put the multiline condition code into {} brackets in
counts_str_build()
2. Keep the original display order, that is:
predicted, abort, cycles, iterations
v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.
