  perf symbols: Fix endless loop in dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore (2015-10-28 11:19:30 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Enable per-event perf_event_attr.inherit setting by config terms, i.e.
  this becomes possible:

      $ perf record -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions/no-inherit/

  This affects the default, that can be changed globally using the --no-inherit
  option.

  This fine grained control appeared in the eBPF patchkit, but this added
  flexibility may end up being useful in other scenarios (Wang Nan)

- Setup pager when printing usage and help, we have long lists of options,
  better use the pager like we do with normal tooling output, i.e. when needed,
  and including any error messages in the paged output (Namhyung Kim)

- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  $ perf report -h interface

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

    --gtk    Use the GTK2 interface
    --stdio  Use the stdio interface
    --tui    Use the TUI interface

- Fix reading separate debuginfo files based on a build-id, problem
  found on a Debian system (Dima Kogan)

- Fix endless loop when splitting kallsyms symbols per section for
  handling kcore files, problem found on a s390x system (Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure:

- Prep work for the 'perf stat record' work that will allow generating
  perf.data files with counting data in addition to the sampling mode
  we have now (Jiri Olsa)

[PATCH 01/12] perf tools: Improve ambiguous option help message

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

Currently if an option name is ambiguous it only prints first two
matched option names but no help.  It'd be better it could show all
possible names and help messages too.

Before:
  $ perf report --show
    Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or
                                            --show-ref-call-graph)
   Usage: perf report [<options>]

After:
  $ perf report --show
    Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or
                                            --show-ref-call-graph)
   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      -n, --show-nr-samples
                              Show a column with the number of samples
          --showcpuutilization
                              Show sample percentage for different cpu modes
      -I, --show-info         Display extended information about perf.data file
          --show-total-period
                              Show a column with the sum of periods
          --show-ref-call-graph
                              Show callgraph from reference event

[PATCH 02/12] perf report: Rename to --show-cpu-utilization

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

So that it can be more consistent with other --show-* options.  The old
name (--showcpuutilization) is provided only for compatibility.

[PATCH 03/12] perf tools: Setup pager when printing usage and help

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

It's annoying to see error or help message when command has many options
like in perf record, report or top.  So setup pager when print parser
error or help message - it should be OK since no UI is enabled at the
parsing time.  The usage_with_options() already disables it by calling
exit_browser() anyway.

[PATCH 04/12] perf tools: Introduce usage_with_options_msg()

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

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.

[PATCH 08/12] perf tools: Search for more options when passing args to -h

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Recently 'perf <tool> -h' was made aware of arguments and would show
just the help for the arguments specified, but that required a strict
form, i.e.:

  $ perf -h --tui

worked, but:

  $ perf -h tui

didn't.

Make it support both cases and also look at the option help when neither
matches, so that he following examples works:

  $ perf report -h interface

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

    --gtk    Use the GTK2 interface
    --stdio  Use the stdio interface
    --tui    Use the TUI interface

  $ perf report -h stack

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

    -g, --call-graph <print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,
                      sort_key[,branch]>
      Display call graph (stack chain/backtrace):

        print_type:  call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none)
        threshold:   minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>)
        print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry (<number>)
        order:       call graph order (caller|callee)
        sort_key:    call graph sort key (function|address)
        branch:      include last branch info to call graph (branch)

      Default: graph,0.5,caller,function
        --max-stack <n>   Set the maximum stack depth when parsing the
                          callchain, anything beyond the specified depth
                          will be ignored. Default: 127

[PATCH 10/12] perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Dima Kogan <dima@secretsauce.net>

Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in

  /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn

where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is
documented here:

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html

This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until
AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch
reads the build ID and THEN does the search.

[PATCH 11/12] perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
  # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...

So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.

In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.

Basic result with and without inherit:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio
  # ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 23641752891
  ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30428312415

  # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 11699501775
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 15058023559

Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 11895759282
 ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30668000441

Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:

  # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 23285400229
  ...
  # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 14969050259

Committer note:

One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in
the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case:

[PATCH 12/12] perf symbols: Fix endless loop in dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).

Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:

  $ perf record -a -- sleep 3
  $ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits

The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

I love this! For example if I'd like to know what symbol related options we have, 
I only have to type:

triton:~/tip> perf top -h sym

 Usage: perf top [<options>]

    -D, --dump-symtab     dump the symbol table used for profiling
    -K, --hide_kernel_symbols
                          hide kernel symbols
    -s, --sort <key[,key2...]>
                          sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, srcline, ... Please refer the man page for the complete list.
    -U, --hide_user_symbols
                          hide user symbols
        --comms <comm[,comm...]>
                          only consider symbols in these comms
        --demangle-kernel
                          Enable kernel symbol demangling
        --dsos <dso[,dso...]>
                          only consider symbols in these dsos
        --sym-annotate <symbol name>
                          symbol to annotate
        --symbols <symbol[,symbol...]>
                          only consider these symbols

and it's a nice touch that it's searching in the parameter descriptions as well, 
not just the parameter name. Thus if I only remember some sort of keyword that's 
enough to narrow things down and figure out the option.

One small detail I noticed, for some reason the following search does not work:

  triton:~/tip> perf report -h --invert

    Usage: perf report [<options>]

It only works if I don't use the dashes:

  triton:~/tip> perf report -h invert

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      -G, --inverted        alias for inverted call graph

... which is a bit surprising, agreed?

Btw., is this bug specific to perf/core, or do we want it for perf/urgent as well?

Btw., another detail, if it searches but does not try, I think we should output a 
warning to the user.

Printing something like this would be more helpful:

   triton:~/tip> perf report -h --invert
 
     Search pattern '--invert' not found amongst the parameters. To resolve this 
     use a different search pattern or use '-h' to list all parameters.

Thanks,

	Ingo
