Emitting a PSB+ can cause a CPU a slight delay. When doing timing analysis
of code with Intel PT, it is useful to know if a timing bubble was caused
by Intel PT or not. Add reporting of PSB events via perf script. PSB
events are printed with the existing itrace 'p' option which also prints
power and frequency changes. The PSB event contains the trace offset at
which the PSB occurs, to allow easy reference back to the PSB+ packets.
The PSB event timestamp is always the timestamp from the PSB+ TSC
packet, and the ip is always the address from the PSB+ FUP packet.
The code changes are non-trivial because the decoder must walk to the
PSB+ FUP address before outputting the PSB event.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,psb_period=0/u uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.046 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --itrace=p --ns

|
|

|
|

|
|
o synthesize other events recorded due to the use
|
|
of aux-output (refer to perf record)
|
|
e synthesize error events
|
|
d create a debug log
|
|
f synthesize first level cache events
|
|
m synthesize last level cache events
|
|
M synthesize memory events
|
|
t synthesize TLB events
|
|
a synthesize remote access events
|
|
g synthesize a call chain (use with i or x)
|
|
G synthesize a call chain on existing event records
|
|
l synthesize last branch entries (use with i or x)
|
|
L synthesize last branch entries on existing event records
|
|
s skip initial number of events
|
|
q quicker (less detailed) decoding
|
|
|
|
The default is all events i.e. the same as --itrace=ibxwpe,
|
|
except for perf script where it is --itrace=ce
|
|
|
|
In addition, the period (default 100000, except for perf script where it is 1)
|
|
for instructions events can be specified in units of:
|
|
|
|
i instructions
|
|
t ticks
|
|
ms milliseconds
|
|
us microseconds
|
|
ns nanoseconds (default)
|
|
|
|
Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or
|
|
transactions events can be specified.
|
|
|
|
Also the number of last branch entries (default 64, max. 1024) for
|
|
instructions or transactions events can be specified.
|
|
|
|
Similar to options g and l, size may also be specified for options G and L.
|
|
On x86, note that G and L work poorly when data has been recorded with
|
|
large PEBS. Refer linkperf:perf-intel-pt[1] man page for details.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to skip events generated (instructions, branches, transactions,
|
|
ptwrite, power) at the beginning. This is useful to ignore initialization code.
|
|
|
|
--itrace=i0nss1000000
|
|
|
|
skips the first million instructions.
|
|
|
|
The 'e' option may be followed by flags which affect what errors will or
|
|
will not be reported. Each flag must be preceded by either '+' or '-'.
|
|
The flags are:
|
|
o overflow
|
|
l trace data lost
|
|
|
|
If supported, the 'd' option may be followed by flags which affect what
|
|
debug messages will or will not be logged. Each flag must be preceded
|
|
by either '+' or '-'. The flags are:
|
|
a all perf events
|
|
|
|
If supported, the 'q' option may be repeated to increase the effect.
