2017-02-02perf callchain: Reference count mapsKrister Johansen
If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor. Use the existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the cursor iterates past the node.

2016-11-14perf report: Calculate and return the branch flag countingJin Yao
Create some branch counters in per callchain list entry. Each counter is for a branch flag. For example, predicted_count counts all the *predicted* branches. The counters get updated by processing the callchain cursor nodes. It also provides functions to retrieve or print the values of counters in callchain list. Besides the counting for branch flags, it also counts and returns the average number of iterations.

2016-11-14perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor nodeJin Yao
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.

2015-11-19perf hists browser: Support flat callchainsNamhyung Kim
The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple hierarchy so make it easy to see. Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly. With flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it should show entries in parent nodes. To do that, add parent_val list to struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list. For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'. $ perf report -g graph - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle - cpu_startup_entry 28.63% start_secondary - 11.30% rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel Before: $ perf report -g flat - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 28.63% start_secondary - 11.30% rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel After: $ perf report -g flat - 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle - 28.63% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_secondary - 11.30% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447047946-1691-8-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-02-18perf tools: Enable LBR call stack supportKan Liang
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf. Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call stack support on the tooling side. LBR call stack has some limitations: - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. However, it also offers some advantages: - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing else works.

2014-12-01perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histogramsAndi Kleen
Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful. This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram infrastructure to unify them. This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the caller for short functions. Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be added in a patch after this one: tcall.c: volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c; __attribute__((noinline)) f2() { c = a / b; } __attribute__((noinline)) f1() { f2(); f2(); } main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) f1(); } % perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ] % perf report --no-children --branch-history ... 54.91% tcall.c:6 [.] f2 tcall | |--65.53%-- f2 tcall.c:5 | | | |--70.83%-- f1 tcall.c:11 | | f1 tcall.c:10 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:17 | | main tcall.c:17 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:11 | | | --29.17%-- f1 tcall.c:12 | f1 tcall.c:12 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:11 | f1 tcall.c:10 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:17 | main tcall.c:17 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:12 The default output is unchanged. This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere else. This adds the basic code to report: - add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode - when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c. The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the difference between LBR entry and normal call entry. - detect overlaps with the callchain - remove small loop duplicates in the LBR Current limitations: - The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history and LBR entries have no special marker. - It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow (e.g. with arrows) v2: Various fixes. v3: Merge further patches into this one.

For lbr-as-callgraph we need to see the line number in the history, because many LBR entries can be in a single function, and just showing the same function name many times is not useful. When the history code is configured to sort by address, also try to resolve the address to a file:srcline and display this in the browser. If that doesn't work still display the address.

2014-06-27perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug infoSukadev Bhattiprolu
When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine when the entries are needed. Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored. If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs in the call-graphs. Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries should be ignored when building call-graphs.

2013-07-22perf tools: Support callchain sorting based on addressesAndi Kleen
With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate nodes in the chain. This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses. Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today. I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to register a params pointer.

2012-12-11perf record: Export the callchain parsing routine and helpArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Will be used by perf top, that will first setup the symbol system to deal with callchains and then call these routines to ask the kernel for callchains.

2012-05-31perf callchain: Make callchain cursors TLSNamhyung Kim
perf top -G has a race on callchain cursor between main thread and display thread. Since the callchain cursors are used locally make them thread-local data would solve the problem.

2011-11-28perf tools: Pass tool context in the the perf_event_ops functionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that we don't need to have that many globals. Next steps will remove the 'session' pointer, that in most cases is not needed. Then we can rename perf_event_ops to 'perf_tool' that better describes this class hierarchy.
