2010-05-15perf newt: Make <- exit the ui_browserArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Right now that means that pressing the left arrow willl make the symbol annotation window to exit back to the main symbol histogram browser. This is another improvement on the UI fastpath, i.e. just the arrows and enter are enough for most browsing.

2010-05-14perf newt: Make <- zoom out filtersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <- (left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied. It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu. With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path, by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key to expand collapse callchains.

2010-05-14perf report: Report number of events, not samplesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods, but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel. While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent. This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

2010-05-14perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usageArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period, and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid sampling artifacts. Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped. Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and stop doing it again.

2010-05-13perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and recordStephane Eranian
By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off by default. This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option. By default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t) or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well. The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not start the counters. Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: David S.

2010-05-12perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browserArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data directly to do annotation. Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring them appropriately using lower level slang routines. The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware, histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained using list_heads.

2010-05-11perf: Fix static strings treated like dynamic onesFrederic Weisbecker
The raw_field_ptr() helper, used to retrieve the address of a field inside a trace event, treats every strings as if they were dynamic ie: having a secondary level of indirection to retrieve their contents. FIELD_IS_STRING doesn't mean FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC, we only need to compute the secondary dereference for the latter case. This fixes perf sched segfaults, bad cmdline report and may be some other bugs.

2010-05-10perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session. While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"), renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members. Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them, avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information. The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

In this case, a 0-length payload will be read, and the 0 return value will be wrongly interpreted as an 'unexpected end of event stream'. This patch allows for proper handling of data-less events by skipping 0-length reads.

2010-05-09perf lock: Always check min AND max wait timeFrederic Weisbecker
When a lock is acquired after beeing contended, we update the wait time statistics for the given lock. But if the min wait time is updated, we don't check the max wait time. This is wrong because the first time we update the wait time, we want to update both min and max wait time. Before: Name acquired contended total wait (ns) max wait (ns) min wait (ns) key 8 1 21656 0 21656 After: Name acquired contended total wait (ns) max wait (ns) min wait (ns) key 8 1 21656 21656 21656 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp>

2010-05-09perf lock: Add "info" subcommand for dumping misc informationHitoshi Mitake
This adds the "info" subcommand to perf lock which can be used to dump metadata like threads or addresses of lock instances. "map" was removed because info should do the work for it. This will be useful not only for debugging but also for ordinary analyzing. v2: adding example of usage % sudo ./perf lock info -t | Thread ID: comm | 0: swapper | 1: init | 18: migration/5 | 29: events/2 | 32: events/5 | 33: events/6 ... % sudo ./perf lock info -m | Address of instance: name of class | 0xffff8800b95adae0: &(&sighand->siglock)->rlock | 0xffff8800bbb41ae0: &(&sighand->siglock)->rlock | 0xffff8800bf165ae0: &(&sighand->siglock)->rlock | 0xffff8800b9576a98: &p->cred_guard_mutex | 0xffff8800bb890a08: &(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock | 0xffff8800b9522a08: &(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock | 0xffff8800bb8aaa08: &(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock | 0xffff8800bba72a08: &(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock | 0xffff8800bf18ea08: &(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock | 0xffff8800b8a0d8a0: &(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock | 0xffff88009bf818a0: &(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock | 0xffff88004c66b8a0: &(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock | 0xffff8800bb6478a0: &(shost->host_lock)->rlock v3: fixed some problems Frederic pointed out * better rbtree tracking in dump_threads() * removed printf() and used pr_info() and pr_debug() Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <1272863520-16179-1-git-send-email-mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2010-05-09perf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithmFrederic Weisbecker
The current events reordering algorithm is based on a heuristic that gets broken once we deal with a very fast flow of events. Indeed the time period based flushing is not suitable anymore in the following case, assuming we have a flush period of two seconds. CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt1 timestamps | 0 | 0 1 | 1 2 | 2 3 | 3 [...] | [...] 4 seconds later If we spend too much time to read the buffers (case of a lot of events to record in each buffers or when we have a lot of CPU buffers to read), in the next pass the CPU 0 buffer could contain a slice of several seconds of events. We'll read them all and notice we've reached the period to flush. In the above example we flush the first half of the CPU 0 buffer, then we read the CPU 1 buffer where we have events that were on the flush slice and then the reordering fails. It's simple to reproduce with: perf lock record perf bench sched messaging To solve this, we use a new solution that doesn't rely on an heuristical time slice period anymore but on a deterministic basis based on how perf record does its job. perf record saves the buffers through passes. A pass is a tour on every buffers from every CPUs. This is made in order: for each CPU we read the buffers of every counters. So the more buffers we visit, the later will be the timstamps of their events. When perf record finishes a pass it records a PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event. We record the max timestamp t found in the pass n. Assuming these timestamps are monotonic across cpus, we know that if a buffer still has events with timestamps below t, they will be all available and then read in the pass n + 1. Hence when we start to read the pass n + 2, we can safely flush every events with timestamps below t. ============ PASS n ================= CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps 1 | 2 2 | 3 - | 4 <--- max recorded ============ PASS n + 1 ============== CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps 3 | 5 4 | 6 5 | 7 <---- max recorded Flush every events below timestamp 4 ============ PASS n + 2 ============== CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps 6 | 8 7 | 9 - | 10 Flush every events below timestamp 7 etc... It also works on perf.data versions that don't have PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo events. The difference is that the events will be only flushed in the end of the perf.data processing. It will then consume more memory and scale less with large perf.data files.

2010-05-09perf: Introduce a new "round of buffers read" pseudo eventFrederic Weisbecker
In order to provide a more rubust and deterministic reordering algorithm, we need to know when we reach a point where we just did a pass through over every counter buffers to read every thing they had. This patch introduces a new PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event that only consist in an event header and doesn't need to contain anything.
