perf tests: Fix tarpkg build test error output redirection

2016-03-24T15:26:41Z

So we need to trow away just stdout, leaving stderr to be caught by the build tests infrastructure, so that we can see what went wrong when the tarpkg build test fails: $ make -C tools/perf build-test make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' - tarpkg: ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg . tests/make:302: recipe for target 'tarpkg' failed make[1]: *** [tarpkg] Error 2 Makefile:102: recipe for target 'build-test' failed make: *** [build-test] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' $ cat tools/perf/tarpkg ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg . PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec In file included from bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.S:9:0: bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:5:29: fatal error: asm/cpufeatures.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. mv: cannot stat ‘bench/.mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o.tmp’: No such file or directory make[5]: *** [bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[4]: *** [bench] Error 2 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: *** [perf-in.o] Error 2 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 $ So the test flow is: 1. Run: 'make -C tools/perf build-test' 2. One of its tests failed, in this case, the 'tarpkg' one 3. Look at what went wrong, by looking at the output of that test, in tools/perf/tarpkg Admittedly, this should be shortcircuited to showing what went wrong directly from the 'make build-test' step, but lets first fix this tarpkg one and the problem it spotted, which should be fixed by adding some extra file to the tools/perf/MANIFEST so that detached tarballs continue being self contained and build successfully.

perf machine: Rename perf_event__preprocess_sample to machine__resolve

2016-03-23T15:03:08Z

Since we only deal with fields in the passed struct perf_sample move this method to struct machine, that is where the perf_sample fields will be resolved to a struct addr_location, i.e. thread, map, symbol, etc. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Hemant Kumar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Naveen N.

perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample

2016-03-23T15:03:07Z

To avoid parsing event->header.misc in many locations. This will also allow setting perf.sample.{ip,cpumode} in a single place, from tracepoint fields, as needed by 'perf kvm' with PPC guests, where the guest hardware counters is not available at the host.

perf config: Bring perf_default_config to the very beginning at main()

2016-02-26T22:49:16Z

Before this patch each subcommand calls perf_config() by themself, reading the default configuration together with subcommand specific options. If a subcommand doesn't have it own options, it needs to call 'perf_config(perf_default_config, NULL)' to ensure .perfconfig is loaded. This patch brings perf_config(perf_default_config, NULL) to the very start of main(), so subcommands don't need to do it. After this patch, 'llvm.clang-path' works for 'perf trace'.

perf tools: Apply tracepoint event definition options to BPF script

2016-02-22T16:02:44Z

Users can pass options to tracepoints defined in the BPF script. For example: # perf record -e ./test.c/no-inherit/ bash # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000 # exit [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data (139 samples) ] (no-inherit works, only the sys_read issued by bash are captured, at least 10000 sys_read issued by dd are skipped.) test.c: #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used)) SEC("func=sys_read") int bpf_func__sys_read(void *ctx) { return 1; } char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE; no-inherit is applied to the kprobe event defined in test.c.

perf tools: Enable config and setting names for legacy cache events

2016-02-19T22:12:51Z

This patch allows setting config terms for legacy cache events. For example: # perf stat -e L1-icache-misses/name=valA/ -e branches/name=valB/ ls ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 11299 valA 451605 valB 0.000779091 seconds time elapsed # perf record -e cache-misses/name=inh/ -e cache-misses/name=noinh,no-inherit/ bash # ls # exit [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (131 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | grep -B 1 'Event count' # Samples: 105 of event 'inh' # Event count (approx.): 109118 -- # Samples: 26 of event 'noinh' # Event count (approx.): 48302 A test case is introduced to test this feature.

perf tools: Enable config raw and numeric events

2016-02-19T22:12:50Z

This patch allows setting config terms for raw and numeric events. For example: # perf stat -e cycles/name=cyc/ ls ... 1821108 cyc ... # perf stat -e r6530160/name=event/ ls ... 1103195 event ... # perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1 ... # perf report --stdio ... # Samples: 124 of event 'cycles' 46.61% 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] cpu_startup_entry 41.26% 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] start_secondary ... # Samples: 91 of event 'evtx' ... 93.76% 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] cpu_startup_entry | ---cpu_startup_entry | |--66.63%--call_cpuidle | cpuidle_enter | | ... 3 test cases are introduced to test config terms for symbol, raw and numeric events. Committer note: Further testing shows that we can retrieve the event name using 'perf evlist -v' and looking at the 'config' perf_event_attr field, i.e.: # perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.724 MB perf.data (2076 samples) ] # perf evlist cycles evtx # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 evtx: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0x6530160, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Cody P Schafer Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jeremie Galarneau Cc: Kirill Smelkov Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455882283-79592-13-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test

2016-02-19T22:12:44Z

Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was auto-tuned: # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2 [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000 [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000 Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ, it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test: # perf test -v 21 2>&1 | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5 Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40 Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800 Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23 [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out 40 /tmp/out [root@jouet ~]# For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
