2013-10-21perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scanWaiman Long
When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large, like a Gbyte or so. The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127). This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not looked at. This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing stack information with faster speed. The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes. --max_stack Elapsed Time Output data size ----------- ------------ ---------------- not set 88.0s 124,422,651 64 87.5s 116,303,213 32 87.2s 112,023,804 16 86.6s 94,326,380 8 59.9s 33,697,248 4 40.7s 10,116,637 -g none 27.1s 2,555,810 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Aswin Chandramouleeswaran <aswin@hp.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Scott J Norton <scott.norton@hp.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1382107129-2010-4-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hp.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2013-10-16perf trace: Use vfs_getname hook if availableArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup with: perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string' or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code. In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it will be preferred. This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the /proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence. As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf trace' of any other tool.

2013-10-14perf buildid-cache: Add ability to add kcore to the cacheAdrian Hunter
kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However, kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory: ~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh> which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules. Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the kcore_copy() function for how that is determined. The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already one with the same modules at the same addresses. Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is addressed in another patch.

2013-10-09tools/perf: Fix double/triple-build of the feature detection logic during ↵Ingo Molnar
'make install' et al Linus reported the following perf build system bug: 'Another annoyance during that make was that "make install" seems to want to re-make the thing I just built. That's absolutely horrible, [...]' The thing that got re-built were 'only' the (numerous) feature checks, not the whole project - but still it was mighty annoying as the feature checks took 9+ seconds even on reasonably fast boxes. Even with the autodep patches where feature detection is much faster it wastes resources, wastes screen real estate and confuses users if we execute feature detection twice. There were two sources for these unnecessary re-builds of the feature checks: - Unnecessary nested invocations of $(MAKE), apparently to be able to do conditional compilation dependent on documentation tools presence. Use straight dependencies instead, with no nesting. - A direct invocation of $(MAKE) to rebuild the PERF-VERSION-FILE. This is apparently done to be able to include it into the Makefile: -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE but that's entirely pointless for two reasons: 1) the version file gets regenerated by the initial build pass anyway, 2) including it is futile, given its contents: #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.rc3.g8510c7" 'make' will interpret that as a comment line... So just remove this part of the doc-generation logic. With these things fixed a 'make install' now rebuilds only what is needed. A repeated 'make install' on an already built tree is super fast now, it finishes in under 0.3 seconds: # # After the patch: # $ time make install ... real 0m0.280s user 0m0.162s sys 0m0.054s Prior all the autodep changes and prior this fix, a repeat 'make install' took 24.1 seconds (!) on the same system: # # Before the patches: # $ time make install ... real 0m24.109s user 0m21.171s sys 0m2.449s Which almost entirely was caused by fixable build system fat. We are now literally ~86 times faster. A fresh rebuild and install now takes just 11.4 seconds: # # After the patch: # $ make clean $ time make -j16 install ... real 0m11.457s user 1m43.411s sys 0m7.610s Without the patches it took 27.8 seconds: # # Before the patches: # $ make clean $ time make -j16 install ... real 0m27.801s user 1m59.242s sys 0m9.749s So even in the complete rebuild case we are now ~2.5 times faster.
