perf symbols: Store if there is a filter in place

2015-08-10T19:22:00+00:00

commit 0bc2f2f7d080561cc484d2d0a162a9396bed3383 upstream.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.

But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).

So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

perf hists browser: Take the --comm, --dsos, etc filters into account

2015-08-10T19:21:58+00:00

commit 9c0fa8dd3d58de8b688fda758eea1719949c7f0a upstream.

At some point:

  commit 2c86c7ca7606
  Author: Namhyung Kim 
  Date:   Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300

    perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered

We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).

But then, in:

  commit 268397cb2a47
  Author: Namhyung Kim 
  Date:   Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900

    perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied

We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.

So, for instance, when we do:

  perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___

the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.

Tested with:

   perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative

Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:

   perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative

Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.

More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.

perf bench numa: Fix to show proper convergence stats

2015-08-03T16:29:18+00:00

commit 2b42b09b88c831ba4da2d669581dde371c38c2af upstream.

With commit: e1e455f4f4d3 (perf tools: Work around lack of sched_getcpu
in glibc < 2.6), perf_bench numa mem with -c or -m option is not able to
correctly calculate convergence.

With the above commit, sched_getcpu always seems to return -1. The
intention of commit e1e455f was to add a sched_getcpu in glibc < 2.6.
Hence keep the sched_getcpu definition under an ifdef.

This regression happened occurred between v4.0 and v4.1

perf tools: Use getconf to determine number of online CPUs

2015-05-12T21:11:16+00:00

Parsing /proc/cpuinfo is a fiddly, arch-dependent business and a recent
change to get it working for Sparc broke arm and arm64 platforms.

Use sysconf to determine the number of online CPUs only parsing
/proc/cpuinfo when sysconf is not available.

perf probe: Fix segfault if passed with ''.

2015-05-05T15:26:52+00:00

Since parse_perf_probe_point() deals with a user passed argument, we
should not assume it to be a valid string.

Without this patch, if pass '' to perf probe, a segfault raises:

 $ perf probe -a ''
 Segmentation fault

This patch checks argument of parse_perf_probe_point() before
string processing.

After this patch:

 $ perf probe -a ''

  usage: perf probe [] 'PROBEDEF' ['PROBEDEF' ...]
     or: perf probe [] --add 'PROBEDEF' [--add 'PROBEDEF' ...]
     ...

perf report: Fix -T/--threads option to work again

2015-05-01T13:13:30+00:00

The commit 512ae1bd6acb ("perf tools: Consolidate management of default
sort orders") changed default value of the 'sort_order' variable to NULL
indicating that users don't set any sort keys on the command line.

However it missed to update a check in perf_evlist__tty_browse_hists()
so that 'perf report -T' cannot show the per-thread values after the
normal output.  This patch fixes it to work again.

Note that the -T option only works on --stdio and neither --sort nor
--parent option was given.

perf bench numa: Fix immediate meeting of convergence condition

2015-04-27T16:57:50+00:00

This patch fixes the race in the beginning of benchmark run when some
threads hasn't got assigned curr_cpu yet so they don't occur in
nodes-of-process stats and benchmark concludes that all remaining
threads are converged already.

The race can be reproduced with small amount of threads and some bigger
amount of shared process memory, e.g. one process, two threads and 5GB
of process memory.

perf bench futex: Fix hung wakeup tasks after requeueing

2015-04-27T16:57:49+00:00

The futex-requeue benchmark can hang because of missing wakeups once the
benchmark is done, ie:

[Run 1]: Requeued 1024 of 1024 threads in 0.3290 ms
perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (135/1024)

This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex code,
is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man page,
incorrectly mentioning that the number of requeued tasks is in fact
returned, not the wakeups.

This patch acknowledges this and updates the corresponding futex_wake
code around it.
