Previous patch supports the multiple time range.
For example, select the first and second 10% time slices.
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
We need a function to check if a timestamp is in the ranges of
[0, 10%) and [10%, 20%].
Note that it includes the last element in [10%, 20%] but it doesn't
include the last element in [0, 10%). It's to avoid the overlap.
This patch implments a new function perf_time__ranges_skip_sample
for this checking.
Change log:
v4: Let perf_time__ranges_skip_sample be compatible with
perf_time__skip_sample when only one time range.

Current perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time
range of output. But right now it only supports absolute time, add
support for time percentage.
For example:
1. Select the second 10% time slice
perf report --time 10%/2
2. Select from 0% to 10% time slice
perf report --time 0%-10%
It also support the multiple time ranges.
3. Select the first and second 10% time slices
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
4. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices
perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
Changelog:
v4: An issue is found. Following passes.
perf script --time 10%/10x12321xsdfdasfdsafdsafdsa
Now it uses strtol to replace atoi.

perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of
output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing
the output of perf script for some analysis.
But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast
way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at
it. This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace,
which is useful for parallelization of scripts
Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no
synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample
reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf
report/... because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing
the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better.
This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and
related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the
feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for
instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all
samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further
amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf
report/script' faster when using --time.
Committer testing:
After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need
the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps:
# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(
22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0
<SNIP>
22501155793625 0x4a30 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21ffd50 period: 2828043 addr: 0
# perf report --header | grep "time of "
# time of first sample : 0.000000
# time of last sample : 0.000000
#
Changelog:
v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.
2. Add following clarification in patch description according to
Arnaldo's suggestion.
"That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids,
where we already have to process all samples to create the
build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize
that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make
'perf report/script' faster when using --time."
v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with
the printing of sample duration.
v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from
perf_session. Just define them in perf_evlist

When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at
/proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset.
For example:
# perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ > /dev/null
# perf report --stdio --branch-history
22.77% _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162

unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096
page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1)
The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in
__get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate
the offset by using 'addr - sym->start'.
This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not
converted to objdump address.
With this patch, the perf report output is:
22.77% _vm_normal_page+66
|
---page_remove_rmap +228
page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5)
unlock_page_memcg +0
page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1)
page_remove_rmap +236
Committer testing:
Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the
'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them,
like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.

While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.
Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960 cpu 40 group_fd 118202 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961 cpu 40 group_fd 118203 flags 0x8
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962 cpu 40 group_fd [118203] flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22
That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.
sys_perf_event_open(){
...
if (group_fd != -1)
perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
...
if (group_leader)
if (group_leader->ctx->task != ctx->task)//should on the same task
goto err_context
...
}
This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.
Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition
Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.
Committer testing:
Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs

When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.
We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:
1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.
2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000
The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

Currently, if we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' without specifying
pid/tid, perf will return error.
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread
The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.
-p, --pid <pid> stat events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> stat events on existing thread id
This patch removes this limitation. If no pid/tid specified, it returns
all threads (get threads from /proc).
Note that it doesn't support cpu_list yet so if it's a cpu_list case,
then skip.

This patch lets the perf_stat__print_shadow_stats() support

It will not directly get value from static variable. Instead,

'perf record' can switch its output data file. The new output should
only store the data after switching. However, in overwrite backward
mode, the new output still can have data from before switching. That
also brings extra overhead.
At the end of mmap_read(), the position of the processed ring buffer is
saved in md->prev. Next mmap_read should be end in md->prev if it is not
overwriten. That avoids processing duplicate data. However, md->prev is
discarded. So next the mmap_read() has to process whole valid ring
buffer, which probably includes old processed data.
Avoid calling backward_rb_find_range() when md->prev is still
available.

The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information.
Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually
do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware.
The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible
cpuid string. When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry
has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf
to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor
revision. For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for
a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial
patches is inconvenient.
Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the
entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do
not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version
changes. If special cases need to be made for some particular versions,
they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more
general matches.
