2025-06-19perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Fix pattern matching with Python 3Adrian Hunter1-1/+4
[ Upstream commit 17e548405a81665fd14cee960db7d093d1396400 ] The script allows the user to enter patterns to find symbols. The pattern matching characters are converted for use in SQL. For PostgreSQL the conversion involves using the Python maketrans() method which is slightly different in Python 3 compared with Python 2. Fix to work in Python 3.

2025-02-18perf script: Fix hangup in offline flamegraph reportNamhyung Kim1-1/+1
A recent change in the flamegraph script fixed an issue with live mode but it created another for offline mode. It needs to pass "-" to -i option to read from stdin in the live mode. Actually there's a logic to pass the option in the perf script code, but the script was written with "-- $@" which prevented the option to go to the perf script. So the previous commit added the hard-coded "-i -" to the report command. But it's a problem for the offline mode which expects input from a file and now it's stuck on reading from stdin. Let's remove the "-i - --" part and let it pass the options properly to perf script. Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/c41e4b04-e1fd-45ab-80b0-ec2ac6e94310@linux.ibm.com Fixes: 23e0a63c6dd3f69c ("perf script: force stdin for flamegraph in live mode") Reported-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Anubhav Shelat <ashelat@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2025-02-03perf script: force stdin for flamegraph in live modeAnubhav Shelat1-1/+1
Currently, running "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 1" should produce flamegraph.html containing the flamegraph. Howevever, it gives a segmentation fault. This is caused because the flamegraph.py script is supposed to take as input the output of "perf record", which should be in stdin. This would require passing "-i -" to flamegraph.py. However, the "flamegraph-report" script causes "perf script" command to take the "-i -" option instead of flamegraph.py, which causes no problem for "perf script", but causes a seg fault since flamegraph.py has no input file. To fix this I added the "-i -" option directly to the flamegraph-report script to ensure flamegraph.py gets input from stdin.

2024-12-09perf script python: Improve physical mem type resolutionIan Rogers1-75/+102
Previously system RAM and persistent memory were hard code matched, change so that the label of the memory region is just read from /proc/iomem. This avoids frequent N/A samples. Change the /proc/iomem reading, event processing and output so that nested entries appear and their counts count toward their parent. As labels may be repeated, include the memory ranges in the output to make it clear why, for example, "System RAM" appears twice.

This script repeatedly sees a zero value passed in for       start_addr = cpu_data[str(cpu) + 'addr'] These zero values are not a new problem.

2024-04-26perf scripts python: Add a script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallelAdrian Hunter1-0/+988
Add a Python script to run a perf script command multiple times in parallel, using perf script options --cpu and --time so that each job processes a different chunk of the data. Extend perf script tests to test also the new script. The script supports the use of normal 'perf script' options like --dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs naturally extends to them also. In addition, a command can be provided (refer --pipe-to option) to pipe standard output to a custom command. Refer to the script's own help text at the end of the patch for more details. The script is useful for Intel PT traces, that can be efficiently decoded by 'perf script' when split by CPU and/or time ranges. Running jobs in parallel can decrease the overall decoding time.

2023-08-24perf scripts python gecko: Launch the profiler UI on the default browser ↵Anup Sharma1-7/+63
with the appropriate URL All required libraries have been imported and make sure that none of them are external dependencies. To achieve this, created a virt env and verified. Modified usage information and added combined command. Modified the main() function to read the --save-only command-line option and set the output_file variable accordingly. Modified the trace_end() function to check for the output_file variable. If it is set, the profiler data is saved to a local file in Gecko Profile format, or the profiler.firefox.com is opened on the default browser. Included trace_begin() to initialize the Firefox Profiler and launch the default browser to display the profiler.firefox.com. Added a new function launchFirefox() to start a local server and launch the profiler UI on the default browser with the appropriate URL. Created the "CORSRequestHandler" class to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. Summary: This integration now includes a exiting feature to conveniently host the Gecko Profile data on a local server and open it directly in the default web browser. This means that users can now effortlessly visualize and analyze the profiler results with just a single click. The addition of the --save-only command-line option allows users to save the profiler output to a local file in Gecko Profile format, but the real highlight lies in the capability to seamlessly launch a local server, making the data accessible to Firefox Profiler via a web browser. In addition, it's important to highlight that all data are hosted locally, eliminating any concerns about data privacy rules and regulations.

2023-07-28perf scripts python: Add command execution for gecko scriptAnup Sharma2-0/+5
This will enable the execution of gecko.py script using record and report commands in 'perf script'. And this will be also reflected at "perf script -l" command. For Example: perf script record gecko perf script report gecko Committer notes: As discussed on the perf tools office hours, I made -F 99 the default for the record script and removed the double -- on the report script so that the existing 'perf script' protocol for the combined operation: # perf script gecko Works, i.e. the record script pipes its stdout into the stdin of the report script, basically: /bin/sh /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/bin/gecko-record -F 99 -g -a -q -o - | \ /bin/sh /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/bin/gecko-report -i - Testing it: The resulting JSON file needs to be uploaded to https://profiler.firefox.com, Anup already has code to start a local http server on the trace_begin handler of the gecko python script, start firefox and feed it the JSON. The example below only collects sample for the specified workload, so that we don't produce thousands of lines, to collect system wide samples, use instead: # perf script gecko -a sleep 0.5 # nohup perf script gecko sleep 0.5 { "meta": { "interval": 1, "processType": 0, "product": "x86_64 GNU/Linux", "stackwalk": 1, "debug": 0, "gcpoison": 0, "asyncstack": 1, "startTime": 274601692.636, "shutdownTime": null, "version": 24, "presymbolicated": true, "categories": [ { "name": "User", "color": "yellow", "subcategories": [ "Other" ] }, { "name": "Kernel", "color": "orange", "subcategories": [ "Other" ] } ], "markerSchema": [] }, "libs": [], "threads": [ { "tid": 3344498, "pid": 3344498, "name": "sleep", "markers": { "schema": { "name": 0, "startTime": 1, "endTime": 2, "phase": 3, "category": 4, "data": 5 }, "data": [] }, "samples": { "schema": { "stack": 0, "time": 1, "responsiveness": 2 }, "data": [ [ 21, 274601692.636, 0 ], [ 23, 274601692.641, 0 ], [ 29, 274601692.643, 0 ], [ 42, 274601692.648, 0 ] ] }, "frameTable": { "schema": { "location": 0, "relevantForJS": 1, "innerWindowID": 2, "implementation": 3, "optimizations": 4, "line": 5, "column": 6, "category": 7, "subcategory": 8 }, "data": [ [ 0, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 1, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 2, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 3, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 4, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 5, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 6, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 7, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 8, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 9, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 10, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 11, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 12, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 13, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 14, false, 0, null, null, null, null, 1, null ], [ 15, false, 0, null, null,
