That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%, +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%, -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%, -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn

With out this patch, it shows just "No probe point found."
This doesn't help users if they specify several probes.
e.g.
# perf probe -f --add schedule --add test
Fatal: No probe point found.
This patch makes error message more helpful as below.
# perf probe --add schedule --add test
Fatal: Probe point 'test' not found. - probe not added.

This also exposes map__load() for getting vmlinux path,

because symbol.c already has that. Checking build-id
prevents users to open old or different debuginfo from

or
perf probe --add '[EVENT=]FUNC[+OFFS|%return|:RLN][@SRC] ARGS'
e.g.
./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule

One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds
argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the

value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do
some related minor cleanup.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Configurable via symbol_conf.sort_by_name, so that the cost of an
extra rb_node on all 'struct symbol' instances is not paid by tools
that only want to decode addresses.
How to use it:
symbol_conf.sort_by_name = true;
symbol_init(&symbol_conf);
struct map *map = map_groups__find_by_name(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, "[kernel.kallsyms]");
if (map == NULL) {
pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
kernel_maps__fprintf(stdout);
} else {
struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym_filter, NULL);
if (sym == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find symbol %s!\n", sym_filter);
else
pr_info("symbol %s: %#Lx-%#Lx \n", sym_filter, sym->start, sym->end);
}
Looking over the vmlinux/kallsyms is common enough that I'll add a
variable to the upcoming struct perf_session to avoid the need to
use map_groups__find_by_name to get the main vmlinux/kallsyms map.
The above example looks on the 'variable' symtab, but it is just
like that for the functions one.
Also the sort operation is done when we first use
map__find_symbol_by_name, in a lazy way.

Example:
{
u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);
if (map == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
else {
struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
if (sym == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
else
pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
}
exit(0);
}
Added just after symbol__init() call in 'perf top', then:
{
u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);
if (map == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
else {
struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
if (sym == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
else
pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
}
exit(0);
}

So it works with both /proc/kallsyms and with ELF symtabs, either
the one on the vmlinux explicitely passed via --vmlinux or in one
in the vmlinux_path that matches the buildid for the running kernel
or the one found in the buildid header section in a perf.data file.

Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps
(vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to
understand the perf symbols abstractions.
The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel
is a library, not a separate thread.
So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel
maps, now in the kmaps global variable.
It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the
perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file
instances, needed by perf diff.

Support perf probe --del <event> option. Currently,
perf probe can have only one event for each --del option.
If you'd like to delete several probe events, you need
to specify --del for each events.

Remove event suffix number _0 if it is the first.
The first event has no suffix, and from the second,
each event has suffix number counted from _1. This
reduces typing cost :-).

Change probe-added message more user-friendly expression and
show usage of new events.
Before:
Added new event: p:probe/schedule_0 schedule+10 prev=%ax cpu=%bx
After:
Added new event:
probe:schedule_1 (on schedule+1 with prev cpu)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:schedule_1 -a sleep 1

Change event list format for user readability. perf probe --list
shows event list in "[GROUP:EVENT] EVENT-DEFINITION" format, but
this format is different from the output of perf-list, and
EVENT-DEFINITION is a bit blunt. This patch changes the format to
more user friendly one.

[probe:schedule_0] schedule+10 prev cpu

probe:schedule_0 (on schedule+10 with prev cpu)
