14 years agoperf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition

perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition

The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.

This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.

Commiter note:

Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.

This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be

renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what

14 years agoperf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithm
Frederic Weisbecker [Mon, 3 May 2010 13:14:33 +0000 (15:14 +0200)] 
perf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithm

The current events reordering algorithm is based on a heuristic that
gets broken once we deal with a very fast flow of events.

Indeed the time period based flushing is not suitable anymore
in the following case, assuming we have a flush period of two
seconds.

    CPU 0           |        CPU 1
                    |
  cnt1 timestamps   |      cnt1 timestamps
                    |
    0               |         0
    1               |         1
    2               |         2
    3               |         3
    [...]           |        [...]
    4 seconds later

If we spend too much time to read the buffers (case of a lot of
events to record in each buffers or when we have a lot of CPU buffers
to read), in the next pass the CPU 0 buffer could contain a slice
of several seconds of events. We'll read them all and notice we've
reached the period to flush. In the above example we flush the first
half of the CPU 0 buffer, then we read the CPU 1 buffer where we
have events that were on the flush slice and then the reordering
fails.

It's simple to reproduce with:

perf lock record perf bench sched messaging

To solve this, we use a new solution that doesn't rely on an
heuristical time slice period anymore but on a deterministic basis
based on how perf record does its job.

perf record saves the buffers through passes. A pass is a tour
on every buffers from every CPUs. This is made in order: for
each CPU we read the buffers of every counters. So the more
buffers we visit, the later will be the timstamps of their events.

When perf record finishes a pass it records a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event.
We record the max timestamp t found in the pass n. Assuming these
timestamps are monotonic across cpus, we know that if a buffer
still has events with timestamps below t, they will be all available
and then read in the pass n + 1.
Hence when we start to read the pass n + 2, we can safely flush every
events with timestamps below t.

      ============ PASS n =================
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            1          |         2
            2          |         3
            -          |         4  <--- max recorded

      ============ PASS n + 1 ==============
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            3          |         5
            4          |         6
            5          |         7 <---- max recorded

        Flush every events below timestamp 4

      ============ PASS n + 2 ==============
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            6          |         8
            7          |         9
            -          |         10

        Flush every events below timestamp 7
        etc...

It also works on perf.data versions that don't have
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo events. The difference is that
the events will be only flushed in the end of the perf.data
processing. It will then consume more memory and scale less with
large perf.data files.

Due to the fact that p4 counters are shared between HT threads
we synthetically divide the whole set of counters into two
non-intersected subsets. And while we're "borrowing" counters
from these subsets we should not be preempted (well, strictly
speaking in p4_hw_config we just pre-set reference to the
subset which allow to save some cycles in schedule routine
if it happens on the same cpu). So use get_cpu/put_cpu pair.

Also p4_pmu_schedule_events should use smp_processor_id rather
than raw_ version. This allow us to catch up preemption issue
(if there will ever be).

Paul Mackerras [Sat, 8 May 2010 10:58:00 +0000 (20:58 +1000)] 
perf_event: Make software events work again

Commit 6bde9b6ce0127e2a56228a2071536d422be31336 ("perf: Add
group scheduling transactional APIs") added code to allow a
group to be scheduled in a single transaction.  However, it
introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement
transactions -- at the end of scheduling in the events in the
group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through
to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the
events in the group and return failure.

This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional
case.
