2013-02-06perf tools: Fix calloc argument orderingPaul Gortmaker
A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed args, fixed in commit d3d09e18203dba16a9dbdb2b4cc673d90748cdd1 ("EDAC: Fix kcalloc argument order") and also fixed in the networking commit a1b1add07fa794974573d93483d68e373edfe7bd ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument order"). I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found these additional reversed args instances in the perf code. In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are simply multiplied. I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to see if the same thing held true there, however.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2011-01-22perf callchain: Feed callchains into a cursorFrederic Weisbecker
The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size. As a result we iterate over each callchains three times: - 1st to resolve symbols - 2nd to filter out context boundaries - 3rd for the insertion into the tree This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along. Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent allocations. It brings several pros like: - Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context boundaries to filter out. - Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at will. - Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based iterator a much more flexible fit. Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB) has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

2010-08-22perf: Support for callchains mergeFrederic Weisbecker
If we sort the histograms by comm, which is the default, we need to merge some of them, typically different thread histograms of a same process, or just same comm. But during this merge, we forgot to merge callchains. So imagine we have three threads (tids: 1000, 1001, 1002) that belong to comm "foo". tid 1000 got 100 events tid 1001 got 10 events tid 1002 got 3 events Once we merge these histograms to get a per comm result, we'll finally get: "foo" got 113 events The problem is if we merge 1000 and 1001 histograms into 1002, then the end merge result, wrt callchains, will be only callchains that belong to 1002. This is because we haven't handled callchains in the merge. Only those from one of the threads inside a common comm survive. It means during this merge, we can lose a lot of callchains. Fix this by implementing callchains merge and apply it on histograms that collapse.

2010-07-08perf: Sync callchains with period based hitsFrederic Weisbecker
Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in perf report. But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking the period into account. So when we compute the percentage, absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be the number of raw hits. perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on the first branch level too. flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages. Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

2010-03-22perf: Fix orphan callchain branchesFrederic Weisbecker
Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we enter a context (kernel, user, ...). Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are incidentally an active part of the radix tree where callchains are stored, just like any other address. If we have the two following callchains: addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3 addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4 addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5 This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path. This will be stored as follows in the tree: addr1 addr2 / \ / addr5 user context / \ addr3 addr4 But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches: |--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt | smp_apic_timer_interrupt | apic_timer_interrupt | | <------------- here, no parent! | | | | | |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875 | | | | | |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b | | | | | |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal | | | | | |--11.11%-- __errno_location Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the callchains to the tree.

2009-08-16perf: Enable more compiler warningsIngo Molnar
Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have helped us avoid the bug. So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 warnings: -Wcast-align -Wformat=2 -Wshadow -Winit-self -Wpacked -Wredundant-decls -Wstack-protector -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wswitch-default -Wswitch-enum -Wno-system-headers -Wundef -Wvolatile-register-var -Wwrite-strings -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wold-style-definition -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2. The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on perf. I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build. If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning. If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.) I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage description and which produced no actual warnings on our code base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up being a nuisance. I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older compilers. [ Note that these changes might break the build on older compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ] Reported-by: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10% filter. The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3 events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows: limit = 4 * 0.9; The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75% We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

2009-07-05perf_counter tools: callchains: Manage the cumul hits on the flyFrederic Weisbecker
The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage computing of a branch. Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that cumulative hits are propagated in the right order. But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to filter the children against a given rate. Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the implementation of relative overhead rates.

Let the user set a threshold as a minimum percent of hits using the new pattern for the -c option: -c mode,min_percent Example: $ perf report -s sym -c flat,4 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string 4.19% copy_user_generic_string generic_file_aio_read do_sync_read vfs_read sys_pread64 system_call_fastpath pread64 5.39% [k] search_by_key 4.63% 0x00000000009e0a 2.36% [k] memcpy_c [...] $ perf report -s sym -c graph,2 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | --4.19%-- sys_pread64 | system_call_fastpath | pread64 | --3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write __generic_file_aio_write_nolock generic_file_aio_write do_sync_write reiserfs_file_write vfs_write | --3.14%-- sys_pwrite64 system_call_fastpath __pwrite64 5.39% [k] search_by_key | --2.23%-- reiserfs_update_sd_size 4.63% 0x00000000009e0a 2.36% [k] memcpy_c [...] You can also omit it and it will default to 0.

2009-07-02perf report: Add support for callchain graph outputFrederic Weisbecker
Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single vertical level, this is the "flat" mode: 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string 4.19% copy_user_generic_string generic_file_aio_read do_sync_read vfs_read sys_pread64 system_call_fastpath pread64 This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted: 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | |--4.19%-- sys_pread64 | | system_call_fastpath | | pread64 | | | --0.12%-- sys_read | system_call_fastpath | __read | |--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write | __generic_file_aio_write_nolock | generic_file_aio_write | do_sync_write | reiserfs_file_write | vfs_write | | | |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64 | | system_call_fastpath | | __pwrite64 | | | --0.10%-- sys_write [...] The command line has then changed. By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the flat mode by default. But you can override it: perf report -c graph or perf report -c flat You can also pass the abreviated mode: perf report -c g or perf report -c gra will both make use of the graph mode.

2009-07-02perf_counter tools: Create new chain_for_each_child() iteratorFrederic Weisbecker
Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance. The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes are in the brothers field of the children. This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a head: --------------- | Parent (head) |------------------------------------- --------------- | | | children | | | ----------- ----------- | | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother----- ----------- ----------- This makes the following strange pattern often occuring: list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) { // do something with children } Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify this pattern.

2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Add more warnings and fix/annotate themIngo Molnar
Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It also required a few annotations All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with this enabled for now.

2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Various fixes for callchainsFrederic Weisbecker
The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them, including: - inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node - fix list range moving - fix indexes setting in callchains - create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in the existent children (was only done on the root) - compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function using any ip inside by referring to its start address. The practical effects are: - remove double callchains - fix upside down or any random order of callchains - fix wrong paths - fix bad hits and percentage accounts Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1246419315-9968-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-26perf_counter tools: Prepare a small callchain frameworkFrederic Weisbecker
We plan to display the callchains depending on some user-configurable parameters. To gather the callchains stats from the recorded stream in a fast way, this patch introduces an ad hoc radix tree adapted for callchains and also a rbtree to sort these callchains once we have gathered every events from the stream.
