5af52b51f7 perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers
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
noploop for 2 seconds

2e6cdf996b perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and record
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.

11d232ec28 perf inject: Add missing bits
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'.

1c6a800cde perf test: Initial regression testing command
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.

 This probe records file->f_mode, but the argument name becomes "f_mode".

84c6f88fc8 perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.

Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.

And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

2a9c8c3609 perf probe: Add lazy line matching support
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.

f526d68b6c perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing option
'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
fall-through problem.

6cff0e8dba perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinux
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.

Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a

the tools find it when resolving symbols.

631c9def80 perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code lines
Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.

  perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
   or
  perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]

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>
          *
          * called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled
          */
         static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)
         {
                struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
   1086         ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);

                hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);

   1090         if (rq == this_rq()) {
   1091                 hrtimer_restart(timer);
   1092         } else if (!rq->hrtick_csd_pending) {
   1093                 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,
   1094                 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;

If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
line number.

 # ./perf probe --line schedule
 <schedule:0>
         asmlinkage void __sched schedule(void)
      1  {
                struct task_struct *prev, *next;
                unsigned long *switch_count;
                struct rq *rq;
                int cpu;

         need_resched:
                preempt_disable();
      9         cpu = smp_processor_id();
     10         rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
     11         rcu_sched_qs(cpu);
     12         prev = rq->curr;
     13         switch_count = &prev->nivcsw;

c351c28161 perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record'
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
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%,  +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%,  -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%,  -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn
1.89,-2.00%,  +4,[.] __readdir64
$

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/

This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.

For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
tools.

1b290d670f perf tools: Add support for breakpoint events in perf tools
Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:

  mem:addr[:access]

Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]

Example to profile tasklist_lock:

	$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
	ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock

	$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
	$ perf report

	# Samples: 62
	#
	# Overhead          Command  Shared Object  Symbol
	# ........  ...............  .............  ......
	#
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock

Coming soon:

 - Support for symbols in the event definition.

 - Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
   not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
   events.

bbe2987bea perf timechart: Add a process filter
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.

39a90a8ef1 perf timechart: Add a power-only mode
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

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).

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
   4658  4659        495581           3238779
   4658  4662        498246           3236823
   4658  4663        499531           3243162

Per-thread arrays of counter values are managed in utils/values.[ch]

    16.75%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so  [.] __tsearch
[acme@doppio pahole]$

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.
