| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no default value. This worked because most of events don't have default value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not desirable to change it for those events). However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override the default value if user gives one of the options. $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (~14185 samples) ] $ perf evlist -F cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=4000 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1402292617-26278-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

| * | perf tools: Add dcacheline sortDon Zickus2014-06-095-1/+113

A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning.

In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every 4 bytes (8 characters). This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently. The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the following output: thermal_power_limit: cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140506132238.22e136d1@gandalf.local.home Suggested-by: Javi Merino <javi.merino@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Javi Merino <javi.merino@arm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140603032224.229186537@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the plugin to specify what type of information to be shown. Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can provide. This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the options specified by the tool.

The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's default value: __switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm() which calls tm_reclaim_task() which calls tm_reclaim_thread() which calls tm_reclaim() where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default __switch_to() calls _switch() where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual) and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the transaction. The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early in __switch_to(). A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

| * | | perf tools: Fix 'make help' message errorJianyu Zhan2014-06-032-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently 'make help' message has such hint: use "make prefix=<path> <install target>" to install to a particular path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no respect at all. This is because that, "DESTDIR" is considered first. In this case, "DESTDIR" has an empty value, so "prefix" is honored. However, "prefix" is unconditionally assigned to $HOME, regardless of what it is set to from command line. So our "prefix" setting got no respect and the actual destination falls back to $HOME. This patch fixes this issue and corrects the help message.

| * | | perf record: Fix poll return value propagationJiri Olsa2014-06-031-1/+5

This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following error in report: # perf record -F 50000 -a --- make the system real busy, so there's more chance to interrupt perf in event writing code --- ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 30.292 MB perf.data (~1323468 samples) ] # perf report --stdio > /dev/null WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected. Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated? Fixing this by checking for positive poll return value and setting err to 0.
