Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.
$ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -
In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.
This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:
$ perf trace rwtop 5
Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).
The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

It should be possible to run any perf trace script in 'live
mode'. This requires being able to pass in e.g. '-i -' or other
args, which the current shell scripts aren't equipped to handle.
In a few cases, there are required or optional args that also
need special handling. This patch makes changes the current set
of shell scripts as necessary.

A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that
demonstrate 'live mode' tracing. For each, the output of the
perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which
continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results
every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval. After
the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared
and the cycle begins anew.
To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace
record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report'
step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i:
$ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i -
Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and
Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the
screen.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:
- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code
- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code
- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel
- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
reading them into event objects.
- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
users.
Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the
Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin.
Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a
long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type. If
not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long,
but an arbitrary-precision integer variable.
The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and
it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I

The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the

Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the

For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
browser.
Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
of multiple backends.
Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
(I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
processing the events...
That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
them in newt.
But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)

We were performing the full thread__find_addr_location
operation, i.e. resolving to a map/dso _and_ loading its symbols
when we can optimize it by first calling thread__find_addr_map
to find just the map/dso, check if it is one that we are
interested in (passed via --dsos/-d in 'perf annotate', 'perf

Nice speedup when we know which DSO we're interested in.

It (ab)uses the only tree widget in newt, that is actually a

is usable but we really need to create a custom widget tree so
that we can use the data structures we have (hist_entry rb_tree

footprint by not creating a mirror set of data structures in the
newtCheckboxTree widget.

Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we
enter a context (kernel, user, ...).
Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are
incidentally an active part of the radix tree where
callchains are stored, just like any other address.
If we have the two following callchains:
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4
addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5
This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an
interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and
addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path.
This will be stored as follows in the tree:
addr1
addr2
/ \
/ addr5
user context
/ \
addr3 addr4
But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence
the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches:
|--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt
| smp_apic_timer_interrupt
| apic_timer_interrupt
| | <------------- here, no parent!
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- __errno_location
Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the
callchains to the tree.

Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.
Usage example is:
# perf top -p 8888
# perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
# perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10
Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so
the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some
preparation steps. I fix it with the patch.
In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If
there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The
usage example is:
# perf record -f -a sleep 10
So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.

Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an
existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the
issue.
Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a
subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage
example is:
# perf stat -a sleep 10
So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.
Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full
single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload.
Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function
run_perf_stat.

Fix the !drawf build.
This uses the existing NO_DWARF_SUPPORT mechanism we use for that,
but it's really fragile and needs a cleanup. (in a separate patch)
1) Such uses:
#ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
are double inverted logic a'la 'not not'. Instead the flag should
be called DWARF_SUPPORT.
2) Furthermore, assymetric #ifdef polluted code flow like:
if (need_dwarf)
#ifdef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
die("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported");
#else /* !NO_DWARF_SUPPORT */
pr_debug("Some probes require debuginfo.\n");
fd = open_vmlinux();
is very fragile and not acceptable. Instead of that helper functions
should be created and the dwarf/no-dwarf logic should be separated more
cleanly.
3) Local variable #ifdefs like this:
#ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
int fd;
#endif
Are fragile as well and should be eliminated. Helper functions achieve
that too.

When profiling C++ workloads the symbol name length can be
really big, so cap it before it garbles the result.
This builds upon the autosizing already present where we choose
to use the short, basename of DSOs instead of its long, full
pathname.

Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass
objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get
confused and produce no output:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
------------------------------------------------
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms]
------------------------------------------------
Now we check that and emit meaningful warning:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
path: [0] vmlinux
[1] /boot/vmlinux
[2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+
[3] /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/build/vmlinux
[4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux
[root@doppio ~]#
This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
file.
v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no
symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen
repeating the warning for each symbol.

Before this patch this message would very briefly appear on the
screen and then the screen would get updates only on the top,
for number of interrupts received, etc, but no annotation would
be performed:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write > /tmp/bla
objdump: '[kernel.kallsyms]': No such file
Now this is what the user gets:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write
Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the

When forking its target, perf record can capture data from
before the target application is started. Perf stat uses the
enable_on_exec flag in the event attributes to keep from
displaying events from before the target program starts, this
patch adds the same functionality to perf record when it is will
fork the target process.

Fix probe_point array-size overrun problem. In some cases (e.g.
inline function), one user-specified probe-point can be
translated to many probe address, and it overruns pre-defined
array-size. This also removes redundant MAX_PROBES macro
definition.

Not good, the newt form for report works, but slang has to eat
the cost of the additional callgraph lines everytime it prints a
line, and the callgraph doesn't appear on the screen, so move
the callgraph printing to a separate function and don't use it
in newt.c.
Newt tree widgets are being investigated to properly support
callgraphs, but till that gets merged, lets remove this huge
overhead and show at least the symbol overheads for a callgraph
rich perf.data with good performance.

Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.
The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.
In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.
Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.
More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.
Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc
But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.
Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.
