Because we will need it in 'perf top' to support userspace symbols for existing threads. Now we pass a callback that will receive the synthesized event and then write it to the output file in 'perf record' and in the upcoming patch for 'perf top' we will just immediatelly create the in memory representation of threads and maps.

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. Reported-by:

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). Before: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent After: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but: - If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it with a first ascii hook. Before: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] After: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire | --- __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] - Otherwise, if we have several top level ancestors, then display these like we did before: 1.69% Xorg | |--21.21%-- vread_hpet | 0x7fffd85b46fc | 0x7fffd85b494d | 0x7f4fafb4e54d | |--15.15%-- exaOffscreenAlloc | |--9.09%-- I830WaitLpRing Signed-off-by: -

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. Reported-by:Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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.

Now that we can filter based on fields via perf record, people will start using filter expressions and will expect them to be obvious. The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking at the trace output, such as: gcc-18676 [000] 343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression does not work: $ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1 Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument) The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name' in the output. To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field names, wherever possible. In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose that information in square brackets, such as: perf-1380 [013] 724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU] perf-1380 [013] 724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER] This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is filterable. This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power, sched and timer events. We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that are being recorded.
