perf script: Support relative time

2019-03-19T19:52:03Z

When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to work with the full perf time stamps. Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace start to make it easier to read the traces. Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this case.

perf script: Support insn output for normal samples

2019-03-11T14:56:02Z

perf script -F +insn was only working for PT traces because the PT instruction decoder was filling in the insn/insn_len sample attributes. Support it for non PT samples too on x86 using the existing x86 instruction decoder. This adds some extra checking to ensure that we don't try to decode instructions when using perf.data from a different architecture. % perf record -a sleep 1 % perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed ffffffff811704c9 remote_function movl %eax, 0x18(%rbx) ffffffff8100bb50 intel_bts_enable_local retq ffffffff81048612 native_apic_mem_write movl %esi, -0xa04000(%rdi) ffffffff81048612 native_apic_mem_write movl %esi, -0xa04000(%rdi) ffffffff81048612 native_apic_mem_write movl %esi, -0xa04000(%rdi) ffffffff810f1f79 generic_exec_single xor %eax, %eax ffffffff811704c9 remote_function movl %eax, 0x18(%rbx) ffffffff8100bb34 intel_bts_enable_local movl 0x2000(%rax), %edx ffffffff81048610 native_apic_mem_write mov %edi, %edi ...

perf time-utils: Refactor time range parsing code

2019-03-01T14:03:53Z

Jiri points out that we don't need any time checking and time string parsing if the --time option is not set. That makes sense. This patch refactors the time range parsing code, move the duplicated code from perf report and perf script to time_utils and check if --time option is set before parsing the time string. This patch is no logic change expected. So the usage of --time is same as before. For example: Select the first and second 10% time slices: perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 Select the slices from 0% to 10% and from 30% to 40%: perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% Select the time slices from timestamp 3971 to 3973 perf report --time 3971,3973 perf script --time 3971,3973 Committer testing: Using the above examples, check before and after to see if it remains the same: $ perf record -F 10000 -- find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec cat {} + > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.626 MB perf.data (42392 samples) ] $ $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.before.1 $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.before.1 $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.before.2 $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.before.2 $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.before.3 $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.before.3 For example, the 3rd test produces this slice: $ cat /tmp/script.before.3 cat 3147 180457.375844: 2143 cycles:uppp: 7f79362590d9 cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.375986: 2245 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3d86e [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376012: 2164 cycles:uppp: 7f7936257430 _int_malloc+0x8c0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376140: 2921 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a554 [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376296: 2844 cycles:uppp: 7f7936258abe malloc+0x4e (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376431: 2717 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3b0ca [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376667: 2630 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3d86e [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376795: 2442 cycles:uppp: 7f79362bff55 read+0x15 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376927: 2376 cycles:uppp: ffffffff9aa00163 [unknown] ([unknown]) cat 3147 180457.376954: 2307 cycles:uppp: 7f7936257438 _int_malloc+0x8c8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.377116: 3091 cycles:uppp: 7f7936258a70 malloc+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.377362: 2945 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a3b0 [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.377517: 2727 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a9aa [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) $ Install 'coreutils-debuginfo' to see cat's guts (symbols), but then, the above chunk translates into this 'perf report' output: $ cat /tmp/report.before.3 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'cycles:uppp' (time slices: 180457.375844,180457.377717) # Event count (approx.): 33552 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................ ...................... # 17.69% cat libc-2.28.so [.] malloc 14.53% cat cat [.] 0x000000000000586e 13.33% cat libc-2.28.so [.] _int_malloc 8.78% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000023b0 8.71% cat cat [.] 0x0000000000002554 8.13% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000029aa 8.10% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000030ca 7.28% cat libc-2.28.so [.] read 7.08% cat [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff9aa00163 6.39% cat libc-2.28.so [.] cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5 # # (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline) # $ Now lets see after applying this patch, nothing should change: $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.after.1 $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.after.1 $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.after.2 $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.after.2 $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.after.3 $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.after.3 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.1 /tmp/report.after.1 $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.1 /tmp/script.after.1 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.2 /tmp/report.after.2 --- /tmp/report.before.2 2019-03-01 11:01:53.526094883 -0300 +++ /tmp/report.after.2 2019-03-01 11:09:18.231770467 -0300 @@ -352,5 +352,5 @@ # -# (Tip: Generate a script for your data: perf script -g ) +# (Tip: Treat branches as callchains: perf report --branch-history) # $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.2 /tmp/script.after.2 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.3 /tmp/report.after.3 --- /tmp/report.before.3 2019-03-01 11:03:08.890045588 -0300 +++ /tmp/report.after.3 2019-03-01 11:09:40.660224002 -0300 @@ -22,5 +22,5 @@ # -# (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline) +# (Tip: List events using substring match: perf list ) # $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.3 /tmp/script.after.3 $ Cool, just the 'perf report' tips changed, QED.

perf data: Add global path holder

2019-02-22T19:52:07Z

Add a 'path' member to 'struct perf_data'. It will keep the configured path for the data (const char *). The path in struct perf_data_file is now dynamically allocated (duped) from it. This scheme is useful/used in following patches where struct perf_data::path holds the 'configure' directory path and struct perf_data_file::path holds the allocated path for specific files. Also it actually makes the code little simpler.
