Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers
and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols,
so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip"
option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for
them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is
shown.

left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).
Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.
The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.
Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
2,368,667,414 cycles test1
2,369,661,459 cycles

Default filter is "!__k???tab_*&!__crc_*" for filtering out
automatically generated symbols.
The format of filter rule is "[!]GLOBPATTERN", so you can use wild

out.
e.g.:
# perf probe -V schedule --externs --filter=cpu*
Available variables at schedule

Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.
So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:
(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
goto error;
}
38 if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
goto error;
icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);
43 ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
/*
* 18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
*
* RFC 1122: 3.2.2 Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
* discarded.
*/
50 if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
goto error;
$ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'
(2) $ cat trace-icmp.py
[...]
def trace_begin():
print "in trace_begin"
def trace_end():
print "in trace_end"
def probe__icmp_rcv(event_name, context, common_cpu,
common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,

print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
common_pid, common_comm)
print "__probe_ip=%u, type=%u\n" % \

add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
simply do:

This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.
Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1
With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.
The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.

It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.
$ perf stat noploop 2

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.

New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt
so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf
usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used perf commands are:
annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file
bench General framework for benchmark suites
buildid-cache Manage build-id cache.
buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file
diff Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile
inject Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties
kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
list List all symbolic event types
lock Analyze lock events
probe Define new dynamic tracepoints
record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
sched Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
test Runs sanity tests.
timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
top System profiling tool.
trace Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list.
Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one
to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

First an example with the first internal test:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
successful.
If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
for non-fatal problems:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
--- start ---
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Maps only in vmlinux:
ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
*ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
Maps only in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
vmlinux.
The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
the vmlinux case.
The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
considers this fatal.
The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
/tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
together with comments about what is being done.
More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

Set the last field name to the argument name when the argument

Add new event:
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read with f_mode=file->f_mode)
This probe records file->f_mode, but the argument name becomes "f_mode".
This enables perf-trace command to parse trace event format correctly.

Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.
1) Define event based on function name
[EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]
2) Define event based on source file with line number
[EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]
3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
[EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]
- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
of the definition.
Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).
Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.
e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.
This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)
Changes in v3:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.
Changes in v2:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting
languages. One problem with it is that it falls through and prints
the trace as well. The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to
confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts. So
change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can
automatically load vmlinux.
The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate
option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded
until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's
not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in
symbol_filter().
So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we
know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done.
By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't
annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.
Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a

the tools find it when resolving symbols.
It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.
The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
e.g.
# ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
<kernel/sched.c:1080>

That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal

Support event name syntax for --add option. This allows
users to specify event name for each new event.
The --add syntax is:
perf probe --add '[EVENT=]SRC:LINE ARGS'
or
perf probe --add '[EVENT=]FUNC[+OFFS|%return|:RLN][@SRC] ARGS'
e.g.
./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule
Note: currently group name is not supported yet, because it
can cause name-space confliction with other tracepoint/

During the Kernel Summit demo of perf/ftrace/timechart, there
was a feature request to have a process filter for timechart so
that you can zoom into one or a few processes that you are
really interested in.
This patch adds basic support for this feature, the -p
(--process) option now can select a PID or a process name to be
shown. Multiple -p options are allowed, and the combined set
will be included in the output.

For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a
HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting.
This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.
As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the
user to specify the width of the SVG file.
This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at
least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts
recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second
will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording
(as before).

- reorder a few places
- list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well

Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats
recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.
I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references
4658 4659 495581 3238779
4658 4662 498246 3236823
4658 4663 499531 3243162
Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.
By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.
perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references

16.75% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __tsearch

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:
-w, --field-width
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t, --field-separator:
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.
