Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced
callchain export.
callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now
be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option
is used with the script.
Ex.:
$ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains
Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export
APIs:
- Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable
callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global
- Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation
and population.
- Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API
example usage and output using a small test app:
test_app.c:
volatile int x = 0;
void inc_x_loop()
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
x++;
}
void a()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
void b()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
int main()
{
a();
b();
return 0;
}
example usage:
$ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ]
$ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py
example_db all callchains
$ psql example_db
example_db=#
SELECT
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol,
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id =
(SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id))
as parent_symbol,
sum(period) as event_count
FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id
GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id
ORDER BY event_count DESC
LIMIT 5;
symbol | parent_symbol | event_count
------------------+--------------------------+-------------
inc_x_loop | a | 734250982
inc_x_loop | b | 731028057
unknown | unknown | 1335858
task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842
update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373
(5 rows)
The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was
sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two
ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common
table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a
function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent
changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived
from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with
the samples from which they were derived.
- This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true
- When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the
callchains exported via call_path_table
- The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of
samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths
table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no
corresponding callchain.
- When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both
set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This
prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from
building two separate call path trees in memory.
- The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header
file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the
sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned
above.
This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api.
The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the
previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function
after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for
additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the
final argument of the sample_table function.

The exported sample now contains a reference to the call_path_id that
represents its callchain.
While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate
them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such
things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular
function. This information is normally possible to get from the call
return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return
information is not available, thus necessitating the need for
associating samples directly with call paths.
This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information
available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does
not make any changes visible to the user.

This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is
accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the
call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path
export API.
While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not
supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by
allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in
samples.
Summary:
- This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member
inside the db_export structure to a non-null value.
- Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored
and exported by adding a call path under call path root.
- Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al()
This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits,
and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.
Summary:
- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.
- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
and into call-path.c and call-path.h.
- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
compile.
This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain
circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order.
The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of
the following conditions are met:
1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER
2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries
for the sample.
3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the
sample.
The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which
thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when
callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER.
Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a
new static function to improve readability of the fix.
How to Reproduce the Existing Bug:
Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or
applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the
results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see
the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf
report.
Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report:
# perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5
when i run this command:
# perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee
This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace
samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks
correct (callee order):
gen8_irq_handler
handle_irq_event_percpu
handle_irq_event
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq
do_IRQ
ret_from_intr
__random
rand
0x558f2a04dded
0x558f2a04c774
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04dcd9
Now run this command using caller order:
# perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller
It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller
order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the
bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found.
instead you see this:
ret_from_intr
do_IRQ
handle_irq
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq_event
handle_irq_event_percpu
gen8_irq_handler
0x558f2a04dcd9
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04c774
0x558f2a04dded
rand
__random
Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space
symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user
space symbols.
if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the
expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler"
at the bottom):
0x558f2a04dcd9
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04c774
0x558f2a04dded
rand
__random
ret_from_intr
do_IRQ
handle_irq
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq_event
handle_irq_event_percpu
gen8_irq_handler

The test to check if the arg format had been read from the
syscall:sys_enter_name/format file was looking at the list of non-commom
fields, and if that is empty, it would think it had failed to read it,
because it doesn't exist, for instance, for the clone() syscall.
So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check
IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read
the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.

In perf_mmap__read(), give better names to pointers. Original name 'old'
and 'head' directly related to pointers in ring buffer control page. For
backward ring buffer, the meaning of 'head' point is not 'the first byte
of free space', but 'the first byte of the last record'. To reduce
confusion, rename 'old' to 'start', 'head' to 'end'. 'start' -> 'end'
is the direction the records should be read from.
Change parameter order.
Change 'overwrite' to 'check_messup'. When reading from 'head', no need
to check messup for for backward ring buffer.

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the
LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show
disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the
user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the
user expects when looking at the function disassembly with
readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with
perf.
If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP.
Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the
exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just
place the probe from the GEP offset.
Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to
specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.

introduce a template for that, that needs only to be provided the

To do that a new rbtree will be created with extra space for each entry,
where possibly pre-calculated keys will be stored to be used in the
resort process and also later, when using the newly sorted rbtree.

Using sizeof on a malloced pointer type will return the wordsize which
can often cause one to allocate a buffer much smaller than it is needed.
So, here do not use sizeof on pointer type.
Note that this has no effect on runtime because 'dsos' is a pointer to a
pointer.
Problem found using Coccinelle.

With 'perf record --switch-output' without -a, record__synthesize() in
record__switch_output() won't generate tracking events because there's
no thread_map in evlist. Which causes newly created perf.data doesn't
contain map and comm information.
This patch creates a fake thread_map and directly call
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map() for those events.

The cost of buildid cache processing is high: reading all events in
output perf.data, opening each elf file to read buildids then copying
them into ~/.debug directory. In switch output mode, these heavy works
block perf from receiving perf events for too long.
Enable no-buildid and no-buildid-cache by default if --switch-output is
provided. Still allow user use --no-no-buildid to explicitly enable
buildid in this case.

Use 'trigger' to model operations which need to be executed when an
event (a signal, for example) is observed.
States and transits:
OFF--(on)--> READY --(hit)--> HIT
^ |
| (ready)
| |
\_____________/
is_hit and is_ready are two key functions to query the state of a
trigger. is_hit means the event already happen; is_ready means the
trigger is waiting for the event.

When the kernel allows tweaking perf_event_max_stack and the event being
setup has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN in its perf_event_attr.sample_type, tell
the user that tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack may solve
the problem.

# echo 32000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# perf record -g usleep 1

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

Perf is not able to register probe in kernel module when dwarf supprt
is not there(and so it goes for symtab). Perf passes full path of
module where only module name is required which is causing the problem.
This patch fixes this issue.
Before applying patch:
$ dpkg -s libdw-dev
dpkg-query: package 'libdw-dev' is not installed and no information is...
$ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko kprobe_init
Added new event:
probe:kprobe_init (on kprobe_init in /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:kprobe_init -aR sleep 1
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/kprobe_init /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko:kprobe_init

Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.
The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.
For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.
Before applying patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
Added new event:
probe:foo_show (on foo_show in kobject-example)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1

We get notifications for threads that gets created while we're tracing,
but for preexisting threads we may end not having synthesized them, like
when tracing a 'perf trace' session that will use '--pid' to trace some
other thread.
And besides we should probably stop synthesizing those records and
instead read thread information in a lazy way, i.e. just when we need,
like done in this patch:
Now the 'pid_t' argument in 'perf_event_open' gets translated to a COMM:
# perf trace -e perf_event_open perf stat -e cycles -p 31601
0.027 ( 0.027 ms): perf/23393 perf_event_open(attr_uptr: 0x2fdd0d8, pid: 31601 (abrt-dump-journ), cpu: -1, group_fd: -1, flags: FD_CLOEXEC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
= 3
^C
And in other syscalls containing pid_t without thread->comm_set at the
time of the formatting.
