perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers

2012-06-12T14:28:09Z

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same tracepoint ID -> real event association. Example: # uname -a Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ] # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id 279 # perf evlist -v sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id: $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id 56 $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id 279 With this fix: $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data sched:sched_switch Reported-by: Dmitry Antipov Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-auwks8fpuhmrdpiefs55o5oz@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Fix default output file

2012-06-11T14:20:21Z

The following commit: commit 56f3bae70638b33477a6015fd362ccfe354fd3ee Author: Jim Cromie Date: Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600 perf stat: Add --log-fd option to redirect stderr elsewhere introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default, i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf stat via redirection: perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log .... They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do: perf stat 0>/tmp/log ... This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very natural. This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive. Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored. I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific issue.

perf tools: Fix endianity swapping for adds_features bitmask

2012-06-11T14:20:01Z

Based on Jiri's latest attempt: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61 Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: "A bit larger than what I'd wish for - half of it is due to hw driver updates to Intel Ivy-Bridge which info got recently released, cycles:pp should work there now too, amongst other things. (but we are generally making exceptions for hardware enablement of this type.) There are also callchain fixes in it - responding to mostly theoretical (but valid) concerns.

tools/power turbostat: fix IVB support

2012-06-04T03:47:49Z

Initial IVB support went into turbostat in Linux-3.1: 553575f1ae048aa44682b46b3c51929a0b3ad337 (tools turbostat: recognize and run properly on IVB) However, when running on IVB, turbostat would fail to report the new couters added with SNB, c7, pc2 and pc7. So in scenarios where these counters are non-zero on IVB, turbostat would report erroneous residencey results. In particular c7 time would be added to c1 time, since c1 time is calculated as "that which is left over". Also, turbostat reports MHz capabilities when passed the "-v" option, and it would incorrectly report 133MHz bclk instead of 100MHz bclk for IVB, which would inflate GHz reported with that option. This patch is a backport of a fix already included in turbostat v2. Signed-off-by: Len Brown

tools/power turbostat: fix un-intended affinity of forked program

2012-06-04T03:24:00Z

Linux 3.4 included a modification to turbostat to lower cross-call overhead by using scheduler affinity: 15aaa34654831e98dd76f7738b6c7f5d05a66430 (tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs) In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program, that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding the child to the last cpu in the system. This change removed the binding before forking the child. This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2. Signed-off-by: Len Brown
