2020-09-14perf record: Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 eventsStephane Eranian
Before: $ perf record -c 10000 --pfm-events=cycles:period=77777 Would yield a cycles event with period=10000, instead of 77777. the event string and perf record initializing the event. This was due to an ordering issue between libpfm4 parsing events with attr->sample_period != 0 by the time intent of the author. perf_evsel__config() is invoked.

2020-09-14perf record: Set PERF_RECORD_PERIOD if attr->freq is set.David Sharp
evsel__config() would only set PERF_RECORD_PERIOD if it set attr->freq from perf record options. When it is set by libpfm events, it would not get set. This changes evsel__config to see if attr->freq is set outside of whether or not it changes attr->freq itself.

2020-08-04perf evsel: Don't set sample_regs_intr/sample_regs_user for dummy eventJin Yao
Since commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis"), a dummy event is added to capture mmaps. But if we run perf-record as, # perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 Error: dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' The issue is, if we enable the extended regs (-IXMM0), but the pmu->capabilities is not set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, the kernel will return -EOPNOTSUPP error. See following code: /* in kernel/events/core.c */ static int perf_try_init_event(struct pmu *pmu, struct perf_event *event) { .... if (!(pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS) && has_extended_regs(event)) ret = -EOPNOTSUPP; .... } For software dummy event, the PMU should not be set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. But unfortunately now, the dummy event has possibility to be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. In evsel__config, /* tools/perf/util/evsel.c */ if (opts->sample_intr_regs) { attr->sample_regs_intr = opts->sample_intr_regs; } If we use -IXMM0, the attr>sample_regs_intr will be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. It doesn't make sense to set attr->sample_regs_intr for a software dummy event. This patch adds dummy event checking before setting attr->sample_regs_intr and attr->sample_regs_user. After: # ./perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.413 MB perf.data (45 samples) ] Committer notes: Adrian said this when providing his Acked-by: " This is fine. It will not break PT. no_aux_samples is useful for evsels that have been added by the code rather than requested by the user. For old kernels PT adds sched_switch tracepoint to track context switches (before the current context switch event was added) and having auxiliary sample information unnecessarily uses up space in the perf buffer.

2020-07-03perf record: Fix duplicated sideband events with Intel PT system wide tracingAdrian Hunter
Commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing. Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy tracking event first. Example showing duplicated switch events: Before: # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.895 MB perf.data ] # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head swapper 0 [007] 6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516223: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516224: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516227: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516227: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516228: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516228: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [002] 6390.516415: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 5556/5559 swapper 0 [002] 6390.516416: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 5556/5559 After: # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.868 MB perf.data ] # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head swapper 0 [005] 6450.567013: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 7179/7181 perf 7181 [005] 6450.567014: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 perf 7181 [005] 6450.567028: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [005] 6450.567029: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 7179/7181 swapper 0 [005] 6450.571699: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.571700: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.571702: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [005] 6450.571703: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [005] 6450.579703: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.579704: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200629091955.17090-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-05-29perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4Stephane Eranian
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.

2020-04-18perf stat: Force error in fallback on :k eventsStephane Eranian
When it is not possible for a non-privilege perf command to monitor at the kernel level (:k), the fallback code forces a :u. That works if the event was previously monitoring both levels. But if the event was already constrained to kernel only, then it does not make sense to restrict it to user only. Given the code works by exclusion, a kernel only event would have: attr->exclude_user = 1 The fallback code would add: attr->exclude_kernel = 1 In the end the end would not monitor in either the user level or kernel level. In other words, it would count nothing. An event programmed to monitor kernel only cannot be switched to user only without seriously warning the user. This patch forces an error in this case to make it clear the request cannot really be satisfied. Behavior with paranoid 1: $ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1,520,413 cycles:k 1.002361664 seconds time elapsed 0.002480000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys Old behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 0 cycles:ku 1.002358127 seconds time elapsed 0.002384000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys New behavior with paranoid 2: $ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid" $ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1 Error: You may not have permission to collect stats.

2020-04-18perf evlist: Move leader-sampling configurationAdrian Hunter
Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for leader sampling with AUX area events. Committer notes: It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist, so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in the evlist, it is equivalent.

2020-04-16perf tools: Support CAP_PERFMON capabilityAlexey Budankov
Extend error messages to mention CAP_PERFMON capability as an option to substitute CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations. Make perf_event_paranoid_check() and __cmd_ftrace() to be aware of CAP_PERFMON capability. CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for performance monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e 2.2.2.39 principle of least privilege: A security design principle that states that a process or program be granted only those privileges (e.g., capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function, and only for the time that such privileges are actually required) For backward compatibility reasons access to perf_events subsystem remains open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for secure perf_events monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_PERFMON capability. Committer testing: Using a libcap with this patch: diff --git a/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h b/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h index 78b2fd4c8a95..89b5b0279b60 100644 --- a/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h +++ b/libcap/include/uapi/linux/capability.h @@ -366,8 +366,9 @@ struct vfs_ns_cap_data { #define CAP_AUDIT_READ 37 +#define CAP_PERFMON 38 -#define CAP_LAST_CAP CAP_AUDIT_READ +#define CAP_LAST_CAP CAP_PERFMON #define cap_valid(x) ((x) >= 0 && (x) <= CAP_LAST_CAP) Note that using '38' in place of 'cap_perfmon' works to some degree with an old libcap, its only when cap_get_flag() is called that libcap performs an error check based on the maximum value known for capabilities that it will fail. This makes determining the default of perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to fail, as it can't determine if CAP_PERFMON is in place.

2020-03-09perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stackKan Liang
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it. However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be wrong, since the output format is different with new struct branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return corresponding pointer of entries[0]. To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt. Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well. Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack. Committer notes: Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf, eventually. Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header. Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build on arm64.

2020-01-30perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_termLeo Yan
perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a directory)/perf/ This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms"). The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow: get_config_terms() ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term->val.str); __t->val.str = term->val.str; `> __t->val.str is assigned to term->val.str; parse_events_terms__purge() parse_events_term__delete() zfree(&term->val.str); `> term->val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer; cs_etm_set_sink_attr() sink = __t->val.str; `> sink string has been freed. To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather than directly assignment string pointer. This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to free the string.

2020-01-30perf parse: Refactor 'struct perf_evsel_config_term'Leo Yan
The struct perf_evsel_config_term::val is a union which contains fields 'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch' as string pointers. This leads to the complex code logic for handling every type's string separately, and it's hard to release string as a general way. This patch refactors the structure to add a common field 'str' in the 'val' union as string pointer and remove the other three fields 'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch'. Without passing field name, the patch simplifies the string handling with macro ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR() for string pointer assignment. This patch fixes multiple warnings of line over 80 characters detected by checkpatch tool.

2019-11-29perf stat: Use affinity for opening eventsAndi Kleen
Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU. This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API. We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead of leaving that to low level functions. It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to a separate loop. Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 42.75 4.050910 67 60046 110 perf_event_open After: 26.86 0.944396 16 58069 110 perf_event_open (the number changes slightly because the weak group retries work differently and the test case relies on weak groups) Committer notes: Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.
