cf38fadade perf fs: Rename NAME_find_mountpoint() to NAME__mountpoint()
Shorten it, "finding" it is an implementation detail, what callers want
is the pathname, not to ask for it to _always_ do the lookup.

And the existing implementation already caches it, i.e. it doesn't
"finds" it on every call.

   usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -B, --big-num         print large numbers with thousands' separators

1902efe7f6 perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructure
This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:

1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.

As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.

2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.

PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have

should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no

without time informations.

c0268e8d1f perf script python: Fix mem leak due to missing Py_DECREFs on dict entries
We are using the Python scripting interface in perf to extract kernel
events relevant for performance analysis of HPC codes. We noticed that
the "perf script" call allocates a significant amount of memory (in the
order of several 100 MiB) during it's run, e.g. 125 MiB for a 25 MiB
input file:

  $> perf record -o perf.data -a -R -g fp \
       -e power:cpu_frequency -e sched:sched_switch \
       -e sched:sched_migrate_task -e sched:sched_process_exit \
       -e sched:sched_process_fork -e sched:sched_process_exec \
       -e cycles  -m 4096 --freq 4000
  $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py
  0.84user 0.13system 0:01.92elapsed 51%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
  125532maxresident)k
  73072inputs+0outputs (57major+33086minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed
that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via
PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are
never free'd.

The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects
that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python
dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as
opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference.

Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions
is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2])

The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to
PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter
immediately after the Python function call.

This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount:

  $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py
  0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
  49132maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps

For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption
reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB.

The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux
3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

3d918a12a1 perf probe: Find fentry mcount fuzzed parameter location
At this point, --fentry (mcount function entry) option for gcc fuzzes
the debuginfo variable locations by skipping the mcount instruction
offset (on x86, this is a 5 byte call instruction).

This makes variable searching fail at the entry of functions which
are mcount'ed.

e.g.)
Available variables at vfs_read
        @<vfs_read+0>
                (No matched variables)

This patch adds additional location search at the function entry point
to solve this issue, which tries to find the earliest address for the
variable location.

Note that this only works with function parameters (formal parameters)
because any local variables should not exist on the function entry
address (those are not initialized yet).

With this patch, perf probe shows correct parameters if possible;
 # perf probe --vars vfs_read
 Available variables at vfs_read
         @<vfs_read+0>
                 char*   buf
                 loff_t* pos
                 size_t  count
                 struct file*    file

5dbb6e81d8 perf top: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan
When the callgraph function is enabled (-G), it may take a long time to
scan all the stack data and merge them accordingly.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-top to limit the depth
of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-top to finish its processing. It reduces the amount of information
provided to the user in exchange for faster speed.

91e9561742 perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan
When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.

The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.

The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.

09600e0f9e perf tools: Compare dso's also when comparing symbols
Linus reported that sometimes 'perf report -s symbol' exits without any
message on TUI.  David and Jiri found that it's because it failed to add
a hist entry due to an invalid symbol length.

It turns out that sorting by symbol (address) was broken since it only
compares symbol addresses.  The symbol address is a relative address
within a dso thus just checking its address can result in merging
unrelated symbols together.  Fix it by checking dso before comparing
symbol address.

e369517ce5 perf callchain: Convert children list to rbtree
Current collapse stage has a scalability problem which can be reproduced
easily with a parallel kernel build.

This is because it needs to traverse every children of callchains
linearly during the collapse/merge stage.

Converting it to a rbtree reduced the overhead significantly.

On my 400MB perf.data file which recorded with make -j32 kernel build:

  $ time perf --no-pager report --stdio > /dev/null

before:
  real	6m22.073s
  user	6m18.683s
  sys	0m0.706s

after:
  real	0m20.780s
  user	0m19.962s
  sys	0m0.689s

During the perf report the overhead on append_chain_children went down
from 96.69% to 18.16%:

  -  18.16%  perf  perf                [.] append_chain_children

dd44bc6be0 perf evsel: Add missing decrement in id sample parsing
The final array decrement in id sample parsing is missing, which may
trip up the next person adding a sample format, so add it in.

a8f23d8f8a perf trace: Improve messages related to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
kernel/events/core.c has:

  /*
   * perf event paranoia level:
   *  -1 - not paranoid at all
   *   0 - disallow raw tracepoint access for unpriv
   *   1 - disallow cpu events for unpriv
   *   2 - disallow kernel profiling for unpriv
   */
  int sysctl_perf_event_paranoid __read_mostly = 1;

So, with the default being 1, a non-root user can trace his stuff:

But can't do system wide tracing:

  [acme@zoo ~]$ trace

3090ffb5a2 perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support
For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).

We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.  We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.

In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.
