Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should). The main kernel side enhancements were: - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang) - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen) - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen) - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang) - ... other misc changes. Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details): - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang) - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan) - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan) - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay) - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa) - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen) - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan) - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini) - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa) - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ... |
