perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events 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. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modules 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 4.02% 630 Xorg [k] trace_kmalloc.clone.0 3.95% 619 Xorg [k] drm_ioctl 2.07% 324 Xorg [k] drm_addbufs 1.68% 263 Xorg [k] drm_gem_close_ioctl 0.77% 120 Xorg [k] drm_setmaster_ioctl 0.70% 110 Xorg [k] drm_lastclose 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. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "H.

perf symbols: Use the buildids if present 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.

perf tools: Consolidate symbol resolving across all tools Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to process IP sample events: int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like annotate and report can further process the event by creating hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs, etc). It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.

It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms. With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is always good, huh? :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1259346563-12568-12-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
