This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the applications. Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based on the user register values and user stack dump. The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack. The unwind interface provides following function: unwind__get_entries And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve the backtrace entries: typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry, void *arg); Signed-off-by:

Also building perf with the dwarf call frame informations by default, so that we can unwind callchains in perf itself.

Introducing following bits to the the perf_event_attr struct: - exclude_callchain_kernel to filter out kernel callchain from the sample dump - exclude_callchain_user to filter out user callchain from the sample dump We need to be able to disable standard user callchain dump when we use the dwarf cfi callchain mode, because frame pointer based user callchains are useless in this mode. Implementing also exclude_callchain_kernel to have complete set of options. Signed-off-by: -

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by sample_stack_user value. Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack unwinding. Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples. This needs access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture. Signed-off-by:

Introducing perf_output_skip function to be able to skip data within the perf ring buffer. When writing data into perf ring buffer we first reserve needed place in ring buffer and then copy the actual data. There's a possibility we won't be able to fill all the reserved size with data, so we need a way to skip the remaining bytes. This is going to be useful when storing the user stack dump, where we might end up with less data than we originally requested. Signed-off-by:

Adding a generic way to use __output_copy function with specific copy function via DEFINE_PERF_OUTPUT_COPY macro. Using this to add new __output_copy_user function, that provides output copy from user pointers. For x86 the copy_from_user_nmi function is used and __copy_from_user_inatomic for the rest of the architectures. This new function will be used in user stack dump on sample, coming in next patches.

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified by sample_regs_user bitmask. Only user level registers are dumped at the moment. Meaning the register values of the user space context as it was before the user entered the kernel for whatever reason (syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening in userspace). The layout of the sample_regs_user bitmap is described in asm/perf_regs.h for archs that support register dump. This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding on top of samples.

This brings a new API to help the selective dump of registers on event sampling, and its implementation for x86 arch. Added HAVE_PERF_REGS config option to determine if the architecture provides perf registers ABI. The information about desired registers will be passed in u64 mask. It's up to the architecture to map the registers into the mask bits. For the x86 arch implementation, both 32 and 64 bit registers bits are defined within single enum to ensure 64 bit system can provide register dump for compat task if needed in the future.

Now we have isolated all ELF-specific stuff, it's possible to build without libelf. The output binary can do most of jobs but lacks (user level) symbol information - kernel symbols are still accessable thanks to the kallsyms. To build perf without libelf (elfutils), give NO_LIBELF=1 to make. For now, only 'perf probe' command is removed since it depends on libelf/libdw heavily. Signed-off-by:

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script, the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the basic information of the events and analyze them. This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions according to their specific requirment. Here is the sample of how to use the script: $ perf record -a tree $ perf script -s process_event.py There is 100 records in gen_events table Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso: comm number histgram ========================================== swapper 56 ###### tree 20 ##### perf 10 #### sshd 8 #### kworker/7:2 4 ### ksoftirqd/7 1 # plugin-containe 1 # symbol number histgram ========================================================== native_write_msr_safe 40 ###### __lock_acquire 8 #### ftrace_graph_caller 4 ### prepare_ftrace_return 4 ### intel_idle 3 ## native_sched_clock 3 ## Unknown_symbol 2 ## do_softirq 2 ## lock_release 2 ## lock_release_holdtime 2 ## trace_graph_entry 2 ## _IO_putc 1 # __d_lookup_rcu 1 # __do_fault 1 # __schedule 1 # _raw_spin_lock 1 # delay_tsc 1 # generic_exec_single 1 # generic_fillattr 1 # dso number histgram ================================================================== [kernel.kallsyms] 95 ####### /lib/libc-2.12.1.so 5 ### Signed-off-by: -

perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()" Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics. Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea "perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events" to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints. For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named "process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute, perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process. Signed-off-by:

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().

We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the tracepoint names there. Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the tracepoint names to when we process samples, but in the next patches we will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as soon as we process the tracing data event.
