Ingo reported this small 'perf bench sched pipe' output problem:
| $ ./perf bench sched pipe
| (executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
|
| Total time:4.898 sec
| $ 4.898586 usecs/op
| 204140 ops/sec
|
| the shell prompt came back before the usecs/op and ops/sec line
| was printed. Process teardown race, lack of wait() or so?
This caused by lack of calling waitpid() by parent process,
so I added it.

The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
not root which results in a very confusing error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f
Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f
Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.
'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.
When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.
Example:
[root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
/home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
# Samples: 2621434559
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............................. ......
#
7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#
In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.
Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.
Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:
'perf list-buildids'
that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.
Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

Wrapping the kernel headers is dangerous when it comes to arch
headers. Once we wrap asm/types.h, it will also replace the
glibc asm/types.h, not only the kernel one.
This results in build errors on some machines.
Drop this wrapper and do its work from linux/types.h wrapper,
also the glibc asm/types.h can already handle most of the type
definition it was doing (typedef __u64, __u32, etc...).
Todo: Check the others asm/*.h wrappers to prevent from other
conflicts.

Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
because these are right aligned.
This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).

While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
forget to display the root. It is never printed.
Say we have:
symbol
f1
f2
|
-------- f3
| f4
|
---------f5
f6
Actually we never see that, instead it displays:
symbol
|
--------- f3
| f4
|
--------- f5
f6
However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
redundant here.
But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
its callchain:
comm dso symbol
f1
f2
|
--------- [...]
And we want the callchain to be obvious.
So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used
generically and can have different implementations. Currently
the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second
argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have
unpredictable results.
The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined
result.
I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will
break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.

If the user doesn't pass a symbol name to annotate, it will
annotate all the symbols that have hits, in order, just like
'perf report -s comm,dso,symbol'.
This is a natural followup patch to the one that uses
output_hists to find the symbols with hits.
The common case is to annotate the first few entries at the top
of a perf report, so lets type less characters.

We need this because we get section relative addresses when
reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
the address + section back again.
So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
(that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
match with annotate.
Verified that at least:
perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all
on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

During the Kernel Summit demo of perf/ftrace/timechart, there
was a feature request to have a process filter for timechart so
that you can zoom into one or a few processes that you are
really interested in.
This patch adds basic support for this feature, the -p
(--process) option now can select a PID or a process name to be
shown. Multiple -p options are allowed, and the combined set
will be included in the output.

Currently, scheduler delays are shown in a mostly transparent,
light yellow color. This color is rather hard to see on several

This patch changes the color of the scheduler delays to be a
much more "hard" yellow that survived the kernel summit

The timechart wakeup arrows currently show no process
information when the waker/wakee are processes that are not
actually chosen to be shown on the timechart.
This patch fixes this oversight, by looking through all
processes (after giving preference to visible processes) as well
as falling back to just showing the PID if no name for the
process can be resolved.

This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.
The layout can be pictured like this:
(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]
If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.
The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.
This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.
And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

Add perf probe subcommand that implements a kprobe-event setup helper
to the perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events using C expressions (C line
numbers, C function names, and C local variables).
Usage
-----
perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]
-k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux/module pathname
-P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
probe point definition, where
p: kprobe probe
r: kretprobe probe
GRP: Group name (optional)
NAME: Event name
FUNC: Function name
OFFS: Offset from function entry (in byte)
SRC: Source code path
LINE: Line number
ARG: Probe argument (local variable name or
kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)
Changes in v4:
- Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup().
Changes in v3:
- Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
- Check malloc/calloc results.
Changes in v2:
- Check synthesized string length.
- Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
- Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
- Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
- Check optimized-out variables.

Randy Dunlap reported that 'make NO_64BIT=1' fails to build
a pure 32-b it binary on 64-bit/64-bit x86 systems.
The reason is that we dont pass in the -m32 and GCC defaults
to -m64.
So pass it in - and also extend the warning message about libelf
dependencies - glibc-dev[el] is needed as well beyond the libelf

We have merged the trace.info file into perf.data by adding one
section in the perf headers. This makes it incompatible with
previous version: the new perf tools can't read the older

have the same size than in the previous format, then ignore the

This reverts commit 9a92b479b2 ("perf
tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched") and fixes the
real bug.
The bug was elsewhere:
We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the
table of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per
process granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools,
needs a per thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks
individually.
So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of
the pid as the thread identifier.
v2: Revert the previous fix - it is not really needed

This removes the ovelapping of vmlinux addresses with modules,
using the ELF section name when using --vmlinux and creating a
unique DSO name when using /proc/kallsyms ([kernel].N).
This is done by creating multiple 'struct map' instances for
address ranges backed by DSOs that have just the symbols for that
range and a name that is derived from the ELF section name.o
Now it is possible to ask for just the symbols in some particular
kernel section:
$ perf report -m --vmlinux ../build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux \
--dsos [kernel].vsyscall_fn | head -15
52.73% Xorg [.] vread_hpet
18.61% firefox [.] vread_hpet
14.50% npviewer.bin [.] vread_hpet
6.83% compiz [.] vread_hpet
5.73% glxgears [.] vread_hpet
0.63% java [.] vread_hpet
0.30% gnome-terminal [.] vread_hpet
0.23% perf [.] vread_hpet
0.18% xchat [.] vread_hpet
$
Now we don't have to first lookup the list of modules and then, if
it fails, vmlinux symbols, its just a simple lookup for the map
then the symbols, just like for threads.
Reports generated using /proc/kallsyms and --vmlinux should provide
the same results, modulo the DSO name for sections other than
".text".
But they don't right now because things like:
ffffffff81011c20-ffffffff81012068 system_call
ffffffff81011c30-ffffffff81011c9b system_call_after_swapgs
ffffffff81011c9c-ffffffff81011cb6 system_call_fastpath
ffffffff81011cb7-ffffffff81011cbb ret_from_sys_call
I.e. overlapping symbols, again some ASM special case that we have
to fixup.

This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.
This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.
A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.
That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.
But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Currently, we are mapping perf.data in the beginning of the file
and use the data offset as a buffer offset.
This may exceed the mapping area if the data offset is upper than
page_size * mmap_window and result in a page fault (thing that
happen if we merge trace.info in perf.data).
Instead, let's start the mapping in the page that matches our data
offset.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular

Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.
DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.
As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux
/home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15
84.58% 13266 Xorg [k] drm_clflush_pages

0.68% 106 Xorg [k] drm_open
0.54% 85 Xorg [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.
Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.
struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.
The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.

For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a

This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.
As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

This function exists in builtin-report.c but not in
builtin-annotate.c Functions that use cmp_null are shorter and

Synchronizing functions between these two files will also make it

openat() is still a young glibc facility, better to not use it in a
non performance critical program (perf list)
Many machines have older glibc (RHEL 4 Update 5 -> glibc-2.3.4-2.36
on my dev machine for example).

Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Tweak the output SVG to increase performance in SVG viewers by
limiting the different types of font sizes and by smarter
transformations on the text.
At least with Inkscape this gives a notable performance improvement
during zoom and scrolling.

This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the
user to specify the width of the SVG file.
This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at
least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts
recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second
will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording
(as before).

Given that scheduler latencies are the hot thing nowadays, show the

In addition, if the latency is more than 10 msec, pick a brighter

Be more consistent in the svghelper about the minimum text size
by having a global #define for this.
There needs to be a minimum text size in order to keep the size
of the SVG file within the reach of what current SVG viewers can
cope with.
