perf script: Enable printing of branch stack

2015-10-29T20:16:20Z

This patch improves perf script by enabling printing of the branch stack via the 'brstack' and 'brstacksym' arguments to the field selection option -F. The option is off by default and operates only if the perf.data file has branch stack content. The branches are printed in to/from pairs. The most recent branch is printed first. The number of branch entries vary based on the underlying hardware and filtering used. The brstack prints FROM/TO addresses in raw hexadecimal format. The brstacksym prints FROM/TO addresses in symbolic form wherever possible. $ perf script -F ip,brstack 5d3000 0x401aa0/0x5d2000/M/-/-/-/0 ... $ perf script -F ip,brstacksym 4011e0 noploop+0x0/noploop+0x0/P/-/-/0 The notation F/T/M/X/A/C describes the attributes of the branch. F=from, T=to, M/P=misprediction/prediction, X=TSX, A=TSX abort, C=cycles (SKL) Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Yuanfang Chen Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441039273-16260-5-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Introduce usage_with_options_msg()

2015-10-27T12:28:44Z

Now usage_with_options() setup a pager before printing message so normal printf() or pr_err() will not be shown. The usage_with_options_msg() can be used to print some help message before usage strings.

perf script: Check output fields only for samples

2015-10-19T21:05:59Z

There's no need to check sampling output fields for events without perf_event_attr::sample_type field set.

perf script: Make scripting_max_stack value allow for synthesized callchains

2015-09-28T20:09:41Z

perf script has a setting to set the maximum stack depth when processing callchains. The setting defaults to the hard-coded maximum definition PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH which is 127. It is possible, when processing instruction traces, to synthesize callchains. Synthesized callchains do not have the kernel size limitation and are whatever size the user requests, although validation presently prevents the user requested a value greater that 1024. The default value is 16. To allow for synthesized callchains, make the scripting_max_stack value at least the same size as the synthesized callchain size.

perf script: Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds

2015-09-28T19:46:05Z

Add option --ns to display time to 9 decimal places. That is useful in some cases, for example when using Intel PT cycle accurate mode.

perf tools: Fix use of wrong event when processing exit events

2015-09-02T20:46:26Z

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events. In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and 'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'. However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid' and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' == 'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs. It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix: 1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on old kernels. 2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the end of the session 3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at the end of the session instead Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1439888825-27708-1-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Enable printing of interrupted machine state

2015-08-31T20:51:07Z

This patch adds the output of the interrupted machine state (iregs) to perf script. It presents them as NAME:VALUE so this is easy to parse during post processing. To capture the interrupted machine state: $ perf record -I .... to display iregs, use the -F option: $ perf script -F ip,iregs 40afc2 AX:0x6c5770 BX:0x1e CX:0x5f4d80a DX:0x101010101010101 SI:0x1 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441039273-16260-2-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Add --[no-]-demangle/--[no-]-demangle-kernel

2015-08-28T14:47:40Z

Sometimes when post-processing output from `perf script` one does not want to demangle C++ symbol names. Add an option to allow this. Also add --[no-]demangle-kernel to be consistent with top/report/probe.
