perf test: Initial regression testing command First an example with the first internal test: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was successful. If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings for non-fatal problems: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: --- start --- Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long) No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols Maps only in vmlinux: ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms: ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as: *ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8 Maps only in kallsyms: ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4 ---- end ---- vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in vmlinux. The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in the vmlinux case. The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't considers this fatal. The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left these cases just as extra info in verbose mode. The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches. But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected. This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it together with comments about what is being done. More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc, makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

perf: add perf-inject builtin Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dir This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.
