MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.
x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.
See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.
Background:
Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.
In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use. It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".
In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.
So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246
Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.
turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.
Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.
On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.
See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.

Before we had sym_counter, it was initialized to zero and we used that
as an index in the global attrs variable, now we have a list of evsel
entries, and sym_counter became sym_evsel, that remained initialized to
zero (NULL): b00m.
Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

We need to defer calling perf_evsel_list__delete() till after atexit
registered routines, because we need to traverse the events being
recorded at that time at least on 'perf record'.
This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record
called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data
file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart
record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(),
and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would
die with:
"no trace data in the file"

And a test for it:
[acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
2: detect open syscall event: Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$
Translating C the test does:
1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
by using sched_setaffinity
2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
on each CPU
It works as expected.

I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....
The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:
$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:
strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));
This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.

This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file
between command modules and the supporting code in util.
It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME
perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree.
There were a couple of #include <linux/perf_event.h> mixed
with #include "../../perf_event.h".
This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch
in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually
led perf stat to segfault.

ipchain__fprintf_graph() casts the number of hits in a branch as an
int, which means we lose its highests bits.
This results in meaningless number of callchain hits in perf.data
that have a high number of hits recorded, typically those that have
callchain branches hits appearing more than INT_MAX. This happens
easily as those are pondered by the event period.

After adding probes, perf-probe(1) reports the probes locations which include
filenames for certain cases.
But for short file names (whose length < 32), perf-probe didn't display the
name correctly. It actually skipped the first character.
Here's an example where 'icmp.c' was screwed:
$ perf probe -n -a "icmp.c;sk=*"
Add new events:
probe:icmp_push_reply (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_reply (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_reply_1 (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_send (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_send_1 (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_error (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_error_1 (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_error_2 (on @cmp.c)
probe:icmp_error_3 (on @cmp.c)

If we don't use .ordering_requires_timestamps we'll end up trying to order
events with no timestamps when running on older kernels.
Problem introduced in eac23d1c.
After the last three fixes, perf scripting is back working, tested with
new perf userspace on old and new (with sample_id_all) kernels.

Check if parse_single_tracepoint_event has already asked for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME.
This is kludgy but short term fix for problems introduced by eac23d1c that
broke 'perf script' by having different sample_types when using multiple
tracepoint events when we use a perf binary that tries to use sample_id_all on
an older kernel.
We need to move counter creation to perf_session, support different
sample_types, etc.
Ongoing work on the perf test infrastructure needs this so that we can create
counters to monitor threads generating specific events, etc.

For kallsyms we don't have the symbol address end, so we do an extra pass and
set the symbol end addr as being the start of the next minus one.
But this was being done just after we filtered the symbols of a
particular type (functions, variables), so the symbol end was sometimes
after what it really is.
Fixing up symbol end also was falling apart when we have symbol aliases,
then the end address of all but the last alias was being set to be
before its start.
Fix it up by checking for symbol aliases and making the kallsyms__parse
routine use the next symbol, whatever its type, as the limit for the
previous symbol, passing that end address to the callback.
This was detected by the 'perf test' synthetic paranoid regression
tests, fix it up so that even that case doesn't mislead us.

Since the libdwfl library before 0.148 fails to analyze live kernel debuginfo,
'perf probe --list' compiled with those old libdwfl sometimes crashes.
To avoid that bug, perf probe does not use libdwfl's live kernel analysis
routine when it is compiled with older libdwfl.
Side effect: perf with older libdwfl doesn't support listing probe in modules
with source code line. Those could be shown by symbol+offset.

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.
While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.
This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.
This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

When we build perf we place all of the .o files from the library files
(util, arch/x/util, etc) into libperf.a which is then linked into perf.
The problem is that the linker will by default only consider .o files
within the .a archive if they are necessary to satisfy an unresolved
symbol. As weak functions are not unresolved, it will not consider a .o
file from the archive containing the strong versions of weak functions
unless it requires it for another reason.
This patch adds the --whole-archive flags to the linker when passing in
the libperf.a file to ensure that it will consider every .o file in the
archive, not just what it believes that it needs. The end result is that
weak functions can now be overridden by strong variants of them in the
libperf.a file.

In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out [unknown]
instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty
meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective).
The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one
(the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified,
and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this
[unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as
we can see all the different address that it represents.
If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column
anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.
This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x
before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which
relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.

Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as

There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type,

This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses
field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report.
Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be
used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B,
add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.

There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events
being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas.
For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails
because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator
properly.
This patch corrects those issues.

Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is
spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the
data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap
and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is
not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around
and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

On ARM, module symbol start address is ahead of kernel symbol start address, so
we can't suppose that the start address of kernel map always is zero, otherwise
may cause incorrect .start and .end of kernel map (caused by fixup) when there
are modules loaded, then map_groups__find may return incorrect map for symbol
query.
This patch always figures out the start address of kernel map from
/proc/kallsyms if the file is available, so fix the issues on ARM for module
loaded case.
This patch fixes the following issues on ARM when modules are loaded:
- vmlinux symbol can't be found by kallsyms maps doing 'perf test'
- module symbols are parsed mistakenlly when doing 'perf top'/'perf report'

Also holler if unknown events were found, that can be due to processing a

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.
For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.
Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

us restart the config_bisect from those configs.

Change the config to use TEST_START where the options after a
TEST_START automatically get the [] as it is read and they do
not need to exist in the config file;
TEST_START
MIN_CONFIG = myconfig
is the same as
MIN_CONFIG[1] = myconfig
The benefit is that you no longer need to keep track of test numbers
with tests.
Also process the commit ids that are passed to the options
to get the actually SHA1 so it is no longer relative to the branch.
Ie, saying HEAD will get the current SHA1 and then that will
be used, and will work even if another branch is checked out.

This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.
The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.
With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al
The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al
and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid
Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.
For example:
$ perf trace syscall-counts ls
Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.
If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:
$ perf trace record syscall-counts
$ perf trace report syscall-counts ls
So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:
- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step
- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
used - all extra args are send to the report script as params
- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
script, and the rest are sent to the record step

Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.
If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.
If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.

Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions.
One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine

The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other
is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If
the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.
This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in
trace-event-scripting.c.

Add a perf script which shows packets processing and processed
time. It helps us to investigate networking or network devices.
If you want to use it, install perf and record perf.data like
following.
If you set script, perf gathers records until it ends.
If not, you must Ctrl-C to stop recording.
And if you want a report from record,
If you use some options, you can limit the output.
Option is below.
tx: show only tx packets processing
rx: show only rx packets processing
dev=: show processing on this device
debug: work with debug mode. It shows buffer status.
For example, if you want to show received packets processing
associated with eth4,
106133.171439sec cpu=0
irq_entry(+0.000msec irq=24:eth4)
|
softirq_entry(+0.006msec)
|
|---netif_receive_skb(+0.010msec skb=f2d15900 len=100)
| |
| skb_copy_datagram_iovec(+0.039msec 10291::10291)
|
napi_poll_exit(+0.022msec eth4)
This perf script helps us to analyze the processing time of a
transmit/receive sequence.

Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.
The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

When looking at a callchains enabled perf data file one can find it
tiresome to start with all callchains collapsed and then to have to go
one by one expanding them.
So associate 'E' with "Expand all callchains" and 'C' with "Collapse all
callchains".
This way now one can have the top level view and then switch to/from
having all callchains expanded.
More work is needed to allow expanding just from one branch down to its
leaves.

If we sort the histograms by comm, which is the default,
we need to merge some of them, typically different thread
histograms of a same process, or just same comm. But during
this merge, we forgot to merge callchains.
So imagine we have three threads (tids: 1000, 1001, 1002) that
belong to comm "foo".
tid 1000 got 100 events
tid 1001 got 10 events
tid 1002 got 3 events
Once we merge these histograms to get a per comm result, we'll
finally get:
"foo" got 113 events
The problem is if we merge 1000 and 1001 histograms into 1002, then
the end merge result, wrt callchains, will be only callchains that
belong to 1002.
This is because we haven't handled callchains in the merge. Only those
from one of the threads inside a common comm survive.
It means during this merge, we can lose a lot of callchains.
Fix this by implementing callchains merge and apply it on histograms
that collapse.

As part of ongoing effort to reduce the coupling with libnewt, browsers
are being changed to return the exit key.
The annotate browser is not returning it as expected by builtin-annotate
when annotating multiple symbols (when 'perf annotate' is called without
specifying a symbol name).
Fix it by returning the exit key and also adding the RIGHT key as a exit
key so that going to the next symbol in the TUI can work again.

ARM ELF files use symbols with special names $a, $t, $d to identify regions of
ARM code, Thumb code and data within code sections. This can cause confusing
output from the perf tools, especially for partially stripped binaries, or
binaries containing user-added zero-sized symbols (which may occur in
hand-written assembler which hasn't been fully annotated with .size
directives).
This patch filters out these symbols at load time.
