2009-12-16perf symbols: Make symbol_conf globalArnaldo Carvalho de Melo

2009-12-15perf probe: Fix to show which probe point is not foundMasami Hiramatsu
Fix perf probe to show which probe point is not found. With out this patch, it shows just "No probe point found." This doesn't help users if they specify several probes. e.g. # perf probe -f --add schedule --add test Fatal: No probe point found. This patch makes error message more helpful as below. # perf probe --add schedule --add test Fatal: Probe point 'test' not found. - probe not added.

2009-12-15perf probe: Check build-id of vmlinuxMasami Hiramatsu
Check build-id of vmlinux by using functions in symbol.c. This also exposes map__load() for getting vmlinux path, and removes vmlinux path list in builtin-probe.c, because symbol.c already has that. Checking build-id prevents users to open old or different debuginfo from current running kernel.

2009-12-15perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu numberPaul Mackerras
It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is greater than the total count of possible CPUs. Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus(). This test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated. This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset() subsequently.

2009-12-15perf trace/scripting: Add 'record' and 'report' optionsTom Zanussi
Allow scripts to be recorded/executed by simply specifying the script root name (the script name minus extension) along with 'record' or 'report' to 'perf trace'. The script names shown by 'perf trace -l' can be directly used to run the command-line contained within the corresponding '-record' and '-report' versions of scripts in the scripts/*/bin directories. For example, to record the trace data needed to run the wakeup-latency.pl script, the user can easily find the name of the corresponding script from the script list and invoke it using 'perf trace record', without having to remember the details of how to do the same thing using the lower-level perf trace command-line options: root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l List of available trace scripts: workqueue-stats workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy) wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file check-perf-trace useless but exhaustive test script rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity root@tropicana:~# perf trace record wakeup-latency ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.296 MB perf.data (~12931 samples) ] To run the wakeup-latency.pl script using the captured data, change 'record' to 'report' in the command-line: root@tropicana:~# perf trace report wakeup-latency wakeup_latency stats: total_wakeups: 65 avg_wakeup_latency (ns): 22417 min_wakeup_latency (ns): 3470 max_wakeup_latency (ns): 223311 perf trace Perl script stopped If the script takes options, thay can be simply added to the end of the 'report' invocation: root@tropicana:~# perf trace record rw-by-file ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.782 MB perf.data (~34171 samples) ] root@tropicana:~# perf trace report rw-by-file perf file read counts for perf: fd # reads bytes_requested ------ ---------- ----------- 122 1934 1980416 120 1 32 file write counts for perf: fd # writes bytes_written ------ ---------- ----------- 3 4006 280568 perf trace Perl script stopped Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: rostedt@goodmis.org LKML-Reference: <1260867220-15699-6-git-send-email-tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

To keep each line in the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40 characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and args) - if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line names the args the script supports. Required args should be surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets. The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated with description: and args: comments.

2009-12-15perf trace/scripting: Add support for script argsTom Zanussi
One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf' value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do some related minor cleanup.

Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

2009-12-12perf symbols: Allow lookups by symbol name tooArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Configurable via symbol_conf.sort_by_name, so that the cost of an extra rb_node on all 'struct symbol' instances is not paid by tools that only want to decode addresses. How to use it: symbol_conf.sort_by_name = true; symbol_init(&symbol_conf); struct map *map = map_groups__find_by_name(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, "[kernel.kallsyms]"); if (map == NULL) { pr_err("couldn't find map!\n"); kernel_maps__fprintf(stdout); } else { struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym_filter, NULL); if (sym == NULL) pr_err("couldn't find symbol %s!\n", sym_filter); else pr_info("symbol %s: %#Lx-%#Lx \n", sym_filter, sym->start, sym->end); } Looking over the vmlinux/kallsyms is common enough that I'll add a variable to the upcoming struct perf_session to avoid the need to use map_groups__find_by_name to get the main vmlinux/kallsyms map. The above example looks on the 'variable' symtab, but it is just like that for the functions one. Also the sort operation is done when we first use map__find_symbol_by_name, in a lazy way.

2009-12-12perf symbols: Rename kthreads to kmaps, using another abstraction for itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps (vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to understand the perf symbols abstractions. The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel is a library, not a separate thread. So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel maps, now in the kmaps global variable. It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file instances, needed by perf diff.
