libapi: Add missing linux/types.h header to get the __u64 type on io.h

2024-01-25T22:52:50Z

[ Upstream commit af76b2dec0984a079d8497bfa37d29a9b55932e1 ] There are functions using __u64, so we need to have the linux/types.h header otherwise we'll break when its not included before api/io.h.

libsymbols kallsyms: Parse using io api

2020-05-05T19:35:32Z

'perf record' will call kallsyms__parse 4 times during startup and process megabytes of data. This changes kallsyms__parse to use the io library rather than fgets to improve performance of the user code by over 8%. Before: Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark: Average kallsyms__parse took: 103.988 ms (+- 0.203 ms) After: Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark: Average kallsyms__parse took: 95.571 ms (+- 0.006 ms) For a workload like: $ perf record /bin/true Run under 'perf record -e cycles:u -g' the time goes from: Before 30.10% 1.67% perf perf [.] kallsyms__parse After 25.55% 20.04% perf perf [.] kallsyms__parse So a little under 5% of the start-up time is removed. A lot of what remains is on the kernel side, but caching kallsyms within perf would at least impact memory footprint. Committer notes: The internal/kallsyms-parse bench is run using: [root@five ~]# perf bench internals kallsyms-parse # Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark: Average kallsyms__parse took: 80.381 ms (+- 0.115 ms) [root@five ~]# And this pre-existing test uses these routines to parse kallsyms and then compare with the info obtained from the matching ELF symtab: [root@five ~]# perf test vmlinux 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok [root@five ~]# Also we can't remove hex2u64() in this patch as this breaks the build: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o: in function `modules__parse': /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:607: undefined reference to `hex2u64' /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:607: undefined reference to `hex2u64' /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o: in function `dso__load_perf_map': /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:1477: undefined reference to `hex2u64' /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:1483: undefined reference to `hex2u64' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Leave it there, move it in the next patch.

tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading api

2020-04-30T13:48:28Z

The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.
