Neil Horman 63e03724b5 perf script: Add drop monitor script
A while back I created the dropmonitor protocol, which allowed users to get
reports of dropped frames communicated to them via a netlink socket.

While useful, several people have now asked that I integrate the ability
to do drop monitoring with perf, so they don't have to run additional
tools.

This patch adds a drop monitor script to the perf suite, and provides
the same output that the netlink socket does.

Jiri Olsa 8e303f20f4 perf tools: Fix raw sample reading
Wrong pointer is being passed for raw data sanity checking, when parsing
sample event.

This ends up with invalid event and perf record being stuck in
__perf_session__process_events function during processing build IDs
(process_buildids function).

Following command hangs up in my setup:
	./perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls

The fix is to use proper pointer to the raw data instead of the 'u'
union.

Paul Bolle 395cf9691d doc: fix broken references
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Darren Hart 9e59e0995a perf tools: Add support for disabling -Werror via WERROR=0
GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives -
breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much
fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss
of having to type WERROR=0.

Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on
some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without
worrying about harmless warnings.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo af52aafad2 perf top: Fix userspace sample addr map offset
The 'perf top' tool came from the kernel where we had each DSO (vmlinux,
modules) loaded just once at a time.

But userspace may have DSOs loaded in multiple addresses (shared
libraries), requiring that we use the just resolved map instead of the
first one found.

Stephane Eranian be96ea8ffa perf symbols: Fix issue with binaries using 16-bytes buildids (v2)
Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can
be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of
20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would
thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples
without symbols.

This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as
encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared.

This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position.

David Ahern 936be50306 perf tool: Fix endianness handling of u32 data in samples
Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and
the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC
the pid/tid fields show:

        rsyslogd  1210/1212

and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows:

        rsyslogd  1212/1210

The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is
perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data
struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled
individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed,
the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when
the sample is parsed and do the proper swap.

The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge
of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user.

Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU
PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields.

v3 -> v4:
- fixed use of WARN_ONCE

v2 -> v3:
- used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data
- removed struct wrapper around union
- fixed whitespace issues

v1 -> v2:
- added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on
  u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3)

Anton Blanchard 6bb8f311a8 perf sort: Fix symbol sort output by separating unresolved samples by type
I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:

...
    60.20%  [H] 0x33d43c
     4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
     1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock

Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.

The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:

...
    57.11%  [.] 0x80fbf63c
     4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
     1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock
     0.65%  [H] 0x33d43c

So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.

I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:

...
    16.65%  [.] 0x6cd3a8
     7.25%  [.] 0x422460
     5.37%  [.] yylex
     4.79%  [.] malloc
     4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
     4.03%  [.] _int_free
     3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string
     2.82%  [.] 0x532908
     2.64%  [.] 0x36b538
     0.94%  [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
     0.82%  [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:

        if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
                return 0;

On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:

       ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
       ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;

This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.

If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:

...
    39.12%  [.] 0x36b538
     5.37%  [.] yylex
     4.79%  [.] malloc
     4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
     4.03%  [.] _int_free
     3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string
     2.26%  [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

Anton Blanchard 6a0e55d85b perf symbols: Synthesize anonymous mmap events
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap events
even though the kernel does. As a result an already running application
with dynamically created code will not get profiled - all samples end up
in the unknown bucket.

This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding events
for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other executable mmaps
are assumed to be anonymous and an event is synthesized.

David Ahern 764e16a30a perf record: Create events initially disabled and enable after init
perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().

For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).

perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

Anton Blanchard 3f5a42722b perf symbols: /proc/kallsyms does not sort module symbols
kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end
of the previous symbol to the start of the current one.

Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg:

ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq   [e1000e]
ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers       [e1000e]

Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length
larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output.

We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so
use that instead.

Masami Hiramatsu f66fedcb72 perf probe: Fix regression of variable finder
Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail.

To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since
"ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which
always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't
call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an
event with arguments.

This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0
(or not negative).

This regression has been introduced by my previous patch, f182e3e1.

This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat into a
file. You could do this with perf record but not with perf stat.
Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save the counts into a
separate file.

The patch also adds the --append option so that results can be
concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of the tool is
clearly separated by a comment line starting with a hash mark. The -A
option of perf record is already used by perf stat, so we only add a
long option.

Stephane Eranian 3e6a2a7f3b perf annotate: Make output more readable
This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
	- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
	- --no-source  : Do not interleave source code with assembly code

We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.

Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.

Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

Stephane Eranian 777d1d71db perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown events
There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.

Without the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'

With the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo'

This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at
all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

Stephane Eranian cc2d86b04d perf evlist: Fix missing event name init for default event
When no event is given to perf record, perf top, a default event is
initialized (cycles). However, perf_evlist__add_default() was not
setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because
it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not
have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly.

This second version improves the code flow on the non error path.

CPUs always get resorted for package, core then cpu id if it could get read out
(or however you name these topology levels...).
Still this is a nice way to keep the overview if a test binary is bound to
a specific CPU or if one wants to show all CPUs inside a package or similar.

Still missing: Do not measure not available cores to reduce the overhead
and achieve better results.

Masami Hiramatsu 3f4460a28f perf probe: Filter out redundant inline-instances
With gcc4.6, some instances of concrete inlined function looks redundant
and broken, because it appears inside of a concrete instance and its
call_file and call_line are same as the original abstruct's decl_file
and decl_line respectively.

e.g.
 [  d1aa]    subprogram
             external             (flag) Yes
             name                 (strp) "add_timer"
             decl_file            (data1) 2		;here is original
             decl_line            (data2) 847		;line and file
             prototyped           (flag) Yes
             inline               (data1) inlined (1)
             sibling              (ref4) [  d1c6]
...
 [ 11d84]    subprogram
             abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1aa]	; concrete instance
             low_pc               (addr) .text+0x000000000000246f <add_timer>
             high_pc              (addr) .text+0x000000000000248b <mod_timer_pending>
             frame_base           (block1)               [   0] call_frame_cfa
             sibling              (ref4) [ 11dd9]
 [ 11d9f]      formal_parameter
               abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1b9]
               location             (data4) location list [  701b]
 [ 11da8]      inlined_subroutine
               abstract_origin      (ref4) [  d1aa]	; redundant instance
               low_pc               (addr) .text+0x000000000000247e <add_timer+0xf>
               high_pc              (addr) .text+0x0000000000002480 <add_timer+0x11>
               call_file            (data1) 2		; call line and file
               call_line            (data2) 847		; are same as above

Those redundant instances leads unwilling results;

e.g. find probe points inside of functions even if we specify
a function entry as below;

$ perf probe -V add_timer
Available variables at add_timer
        @<add_timer+0>
                struct timer_list*      timer
        @<add_timer+15>
                (No matched variables)

So, this filters out those redundant instances based on call-site and
decl-site information.

Masami Hiramatsu db0d2c6420 perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instances
gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.

Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.

e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg

perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of
sched_group_rt_period().

With this,

Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg
        @<sched_group_rt_period+0>
                struct task_group*      tg

Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

Masami Hiramatsu f182e3e13c perf probe: Avoid searching variables in intermediate scopes
Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or
global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate
scopes.

e.g., in the following code,

int var1;

void inline infunc(int i)
{
    i++;   <--- [A]
}

void func(void)
{
   int var1, var2;
   infunc(var2);
}

At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user
mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current
logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func()
scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not
be what user expects.

So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile
unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find
given variable in local scope.

E.g.

Without this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars

With this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars

Check the diff:
$ diff without.vars with.vars
88d87
<               int     cpu
133d131
<               long unsigned int*      switch_count

These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of
pre_schedule().

Masami Hiramatsu 221d061182 perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scope
Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;

$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
      0  static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
         {
      2         if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
      3                 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
         }

However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                int     cpu
                long unsigned int*      switch_count
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev

This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev

Masami Hiramatsu 36c0c588b9 perf probe: Fix to walk all inline instances
Fix line-range collector to walk all instances of inlined function,
because some execution paths can be optimized out depending on the
function argument of instances.

E.g.)
inline_func (arg) {
	if (arg)
		do_something;
	else
		do_another;
}

func_A() {
	inline_func(1)
}

func_B() {
	inline_func(0)
}

In this case, func_A may have only do_something code and func_B may have
only do_another.

Masami Hiramatsu b0e9cb2802 perf probe: Fix to search nested inlined functions in CU
Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function
call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line
walker.

The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or
inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE.

If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on
lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on
direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined
function which directly called from given subprogram.

On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means
that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included
in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all
subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined
functions.

Without this patch:

$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157
</home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151>

         static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
         {
    154         return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
         }

With this:
$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157
</home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151>

    152  static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
         {
    154         return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
         }

As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared
lines as probe-able.

Masami Hiramatsu a128405c6b perf probe: Fix line walker to check CU correctly
Fix line walker to check whether a given DIE is CU or not.

Actually this function accepts CU, subprogram and inlined_subroutine
DIEs.

Without this fix, perf probe always fails to analyze lines on inlined
functions;

$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
  Error: Failed to show lines. (-2)

This fixes that bug, as below.

$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
      0  static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev
         {
      2         if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
      3                 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
         }

         /* rq->lock is NOT held, but preemption is disabled */

Changes from v1:
 - Update against current tip tree.(Fix dwarf-aux.c)

Jiri Olsa f57b05ed53 perf report: Use properly build_id kernel binaries
If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another
machine using:

	on server A:
	perf archive

	on server B:
	tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report"
command on server B.

The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization,
while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing.

The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for
kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id
processing.

Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit:

 - commit b25114817a
   perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage

populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which
is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID.

This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid
value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value.

- Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34
  and reported back on x86_64 current kernel.
- Not tested for guest kernel case.

Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that
does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are
misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we
can do about that.

Jonathan Nieder aba8d05607 perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration
In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config.  If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.

"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd.  Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.

Opportunistic processor performance operation can be disabled by setting bit 38 of
IA32_MISC_ENABLES. This mechanism is intended for BIOS only. If
IA32_MISC_ENABLES[38] is set, CPUID.06H:EAX[1] will return 0.

Better detect things via cpuid, this cleans up the code a bit
and the MSR parts were not working correctly anyway.

Dominik Brodowski 7fe2f6399a cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features
CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.

Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.

Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86

Jiri Olsa 0111919da2 perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] array
Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

  # ./perf stat -e krava ls

The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Steven Rostedt 250bae8be0 ktest: Fix bug when ADD_CONFIG is set but MIN_CONFIG is not
The MIN_CONFIG is a single config that is considered to have all the
configs that are required to boot the box.

ADD_CONFIG is a list of configs that we add that may contain configs
known to be broken (set off) or just configs that we want every box to
have and this can include shared configs.

If a config has no MIN_CONFIG defined, but has multiple files defined
for the ADD_CONFIG, the test will die, because the MIN_CONFIG will
default to ADD_CONFIG. The problem is the code to open MIN_CONFIG
expects a string of one file, not multiple, and the open will fail.

Since the real minconfig that is used is a concatination of MIN_CONFIG
and ADD_CONFIG files, we change the code to open that instead of
whatever MIN_CONFIG defaults to.

Steven Rostedt 43d1b6518e ktest: Keep fonud configs separate from default configs
The IGNORE_CONFIG file holds the configs that we don't want to change
(with their proper settings). But on start up, the make noconfig is
executed, and the configs that are on are also put into the ignore
config category. But these are configs that were forced on by the
kconfig scripts and not something that we found must be enabled to boot
our machine. By keeping the configs that are forced on by default,
separate from the configs we found that are required to boot the box, we
can get a much more interesting IGNORE_CONFIG. In fact, the
IGNORE_CONFIG can usually end up being the must have configs to boot,
and only have 6 or 7 configs set.

If the defined OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG in the make_min_config test exists,
then give a prompt to ask the user if they want to use that config
instead, as it is very often the case, especially when the test has been
interrupted. The OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is usually the config that one wants
to use to continue the test where they left off.

But if START_MIN_CONFIG is defined (thus the MIN_CONFIG is not the
default), then do not prompt, as it will be annoying if the user has
this as one of many tests, and the test pauses waiting for input, while
the user is sleeping.

Steven Rostedt b9066f6c0e ktest: Use Kconfig dependencies to shorten time to make min_config
To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
may have been enabled.

For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on
CONFIG_USB, the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device.
If CONFIG_USB is found not to be needed, it, as well as all
configs that depend on it, will be disabled and removed from
the current min_config.

Note, the code from streamline_config (make localmodconfig)
was copied and used to find the dependencies in the Kconfig file.

Steven Rostedt 4c4ab1204f ktest: Add test type make_min_config
After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.

Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
that was found till that time.

Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
and its test type acts like boot.

TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
      boot, like having network access.

Masami Hiramatsu 14a8fd7cee perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

E.g)
 # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
   -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
 Add new events:
   probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
   probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

 You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

         perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

Sonny Rao 259032bfe3 perf: Robustify proc and debugfs file recording
While attempting to create a timechart of boot up I found perf didn't
tolerate modules being loaded/unloaded.  This patch fixes this by
reading the file once and then writing the size read at the correct
point in the file.  It also simplifies the code somewhat.

Anton Blanchard 5d67be97f8 perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

We don't need to display the parent field if the parent

So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).

We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

Mathias Krause 203db2952b tools/perf: Fix static build of perf tool
To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

Shaohua Li 09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

Steven Rostedt ecaf8e5213 ktest: Have wait on stdio honor bug timeout
After a bug is found, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE timeout is used to
determine how much output should be printed before breaking out
of the monitor loop. This is to get things like call traces and
enough infromation about the bug to help determine what caused it.

The STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is usually much shorter than the TIMEOUT
that is used to determine when to quit after no more stdio is given.

But since the stdio read uses a wait on I/O, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is
only checked after we get something from I/O. But if the I/O does
not return any more data, we wait the TIMEOUT period instead, even
though we already triggered a bug report.

The wait on I/O should honor the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE time if a bug has
been found.

CONFIG_BISECT config. There may be another config that we know
is good that we want to ignore configs on. By passing in this
config it will ignore the options that are set in the good config.

Note: This only ignores the config, it does not (yet) handle
options that are different between the two configs. If the good
config has "SLAB" set and the bad config has "SLUB" it will not
find the bug if the bug had to do with changing these two options.

This is something that I intend to implement in the future.

Steven Rostedt f1a5b96219 ktest: Add detection of triple faults
When a triple fault happens in a test, no call trace nor panic
is displayed. Instead, the system reboots to the good kernel.
Since the good kernel may display a boot prompt that matches the
success string, ktest may think that the test succeeded, when it
did not.

Detecting triple faults is tricky because it is hard to generalize
what a reboot looks like. The best that we can come up with for now
is to examine the Linux banner. If we detect that the Linux banner
matches the test we want to test, then look to see if we hit another
Linux banner with a different kernel is booted. This can be assumed
to be a triple fault.

We can't just check for two Linux banners because things like
early printk may cause the Linux banner to be displayed twice. Checking
for different kernel versions should be the safe bet.

If this for some reason detects a false triple boot. A new ktest
config option is also created:

 DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT

This can be set to 0 to disable this checking.

Steven Rostedt cd4f1d536c ktest: Notify reason to break out of monitoring boot
Different timeouts can cause the ktest monitor to break out of the
loop. It becomes annoying that one does not know the reason why
it exited the monitor loop. Display the cause of the reason why
the loop was exited.

Frederic Weisbecker b273fa9716 perf python: Fix argument name list of read_on_cpu()
Mandatory arguments need to be present in the argument name list, as
well as optional arguments, otherwise python barfs:

	# ./python/twatch.py
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "./python/twatch.py", line 41, in <module>
	    main()
	  File "./python/twatch.py", line 32, in main
	    event = evlist.read_on_cpu(cpu)
	RuntimeError: more argument specifiers than keyword list entries

Hence, add cpu to the name list.
