For pretty output only (preserve column for cvs output), dont print
std-deviation when its 0.00. Do this based upon value, instead of
checking for --no-aggr, since the stats could conceivably be computed
over the runs on each CPU, and theres no reason to preclude that.

Without this patch, running:
$ sudo ./perf stat -r20 --no-aggr -a perl -e '$i++ for 1..100000'
I get computations like this:
CPU0 12.488247 task-clock # 1.224 CPUs utilized ( +- -nan% )
CPU1 12.488909 task-clock # 1.225 CPUs utilized ( +- -nan% )
CPU2 12.500221 task-clock # 1.226 CPUs utilized ( +- -nan% )
CPU3 12.481713 task-clock # 1.224 CPUs utilized ( +- -nan% )
but with patch, I get:
CPU0 8.233682 task-clock # 0.754 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.00% )
CPU1 8.226318 task-clock # 0.754 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.00% )
CPU2 8.210737 task-clock # 0.752 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.00% )
CPU3 8.201691 task-clock # 0.751 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.00% )
Note that without --no-aggr, I get non-0 statistics both before and after patch:
231.986022 task-clock # 4.030 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.97% )
212 context-switches # 0.001 M/sec ( +- 12.07% )

466 page-faults # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 3.23% )
174,318,593 cycles # 0.751 GHz ( +- 1.06% )
I couldnt see anything wrong in the caller, so fixed it in
stddev_stats(). ISTM that 0.00 is better than nan, since perf stat was
passed -A (--no-aggr) so no standard deviation should be expected, and
nan is suggestive of a deeper error.
When running with --no-aggr, perhaps we should suppress the statistics
printing entirely, or do so when they are 0.00.

This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the
user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the
program under test. This complements --output file option, and is
mutually exclusive with it.

The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd

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.

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.

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.

But userspace may have DSOs loaded in multiple addresses (shared

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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().

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined

as below;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule

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

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.

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.

Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related
files. Installation directory is governed by python distutils package
and follows the DESTDIR variable settings.
Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build'
directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable.
Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing
as of until now.

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[38] is set, CPUID.06H:EAX[1] will return 0.
Better detect things via cpuid, this cleans up the code a bit

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

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:

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.

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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.

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

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.

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()

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"

The practical current effect of this is to make parent

were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

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.

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.

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.

Currently the config_bisect compares the min config with the
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.

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.

The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail
but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script.
This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and
if the second command fails, only the first command's return
code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes
this.

Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last
index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config
bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there
are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking
the correct config that caused the problem.

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:
. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
the error to the caller.
. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o
One of the fixed problems:

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.
Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.
builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.
Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Commit eac9eacee1 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.
However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...
To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another
ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables
but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.
Thus having something like:
MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH}
TEST_START
ARCH = powerpc
TEST_START
ARCH = arm
Will have the arch defined for each test iteration.

I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.
For example I may have:
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
[etc]
The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.
With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.
The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.
Now we could do:
USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
[etc]
Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a

Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".
The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.
This patch changes the code to be more informative:
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers
And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of

Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type
in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not
present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from
older kernel) the field is removed from the output list.
Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies
-f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym
the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events
(ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).
Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather
than for each sample.

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:
python{,-config}
The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.
However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:
python2{,-config}
Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.
This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.
In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.
