97ea1a7fa6 perf tools: Fix thread comm resolution in perf sched
This reverts commit 9a92b479b2 ("perf
tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched") and fixes the
real bug.

The bug was elsewhere:

We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the
table of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per
process granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools,
needs a per thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks
individually.

So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of
the pid as the thread identifier.

v2: Revert the previous fix - it is not really needed

2e538c4a18 perf tools: Improve kernel/modules symbol lookup
This removes the ovelapping of vmlinux addresses with modules,
using the ELF section name when using --vmlinux and creating a
unique DSO name when using /proc/kallsyms ([kernel].N).

This is done by creating multiple 'struct map' instances for
address ranges backed by DSOs that have just the symbols for that
range and a name that is derived from the ELF section name.o

Now it is possible to ask for just the symbols in some particular
kernel section:

$ perf report -m --vmlinux ../build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux \
	--dsos [kernel].vsyscall_fn | head -15
    52.73%             Xorg  [.] vread_hpet
    18.61%          firefox  [.] vread_hpet
    14.50%     npviewer.bin  [.] vread_hpet
     6.83%           compiz  [.] vread_hpet
     5.73%         glxgears  [.] vread_hpet
     0.63%             java  [.] vread_hpet
     0.30%   gnome-terminal  [.] vread_hpet
     0.23%             perf  [.] vread_hpet
     0.18%            xchat  [.] vread_hpet
$

Now we don't have to first lookup the list of modules and then, if
it fails, vmlinux symbols, its just a simple lookup for the map
then the symbols, just like for threads.

Reports generated using /proc/kallsyms and --vmlinux should provide
the same results, modulo the DSO name for sections other than
".text".

But they don't right now because things like:

 ffffffff81011c20-ffffffff81012068 system_call
 ffffffff81011c30-ffffffff81011c9b system_call_after_swapgs
 ffffffff81011c9c-ffffffff81011cb6 system_call_fastpath
 ffffffff81011cb7-ffffffff81011cbb ret_from_sys_call

I.e. overlapping symbols, again some ASM special case that we have
to fixup.

9a92b479b2 perf tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched
When we get sched traces that involve a task that was already
created before opening the event, we won't have the comm event for
it.

So if we can't find the comm event for a given thread, we look at
the traces that may contain these informations.

016e92fbc9 perf tools: Unify perf.data mapping and events handling
This librarizes the perf.data file mapping and handling in various
perf tools, roughly reducing the amount of code and fixing the
places that mmap from beginning of the file whereas we want to mmap
from the beginning of the data, leading to page fault because the
mmap window is too small since the trace info are written in the
file too.

TODO:

 - convert perf timechart too

03456a158d perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.data
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.

This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.

A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.

That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.

But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

b209aa1f83 perf tools: Start the perf.data mapping at data offset in perf trace
Currently, we are mapping perf.data in the beginning of the file
and use the data offset as a buffer offset.

This may exceed the mapping area if the data offset is upper than
page_size * mmap_window and result in a page fault (thing that
happen if we merge trace.info in perf.data).

Instead, let's start the mapping in the page that matches our data
offset.

v2: Drop a junk from another patch (trace_report() removal)

42e59d7d19 perf tools: Default to 1 KHz auto-sampling freq events
Use auto-freq events by default in perf record and
perf top.

This allows more consistent hardware event sampling,
regardless of the intensity of the underlying event.

It also keeps us from over-sampling on larger/busier
systems.

(also make surrounding initializations more consistent)

906010b213 perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing
Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.

These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.

However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really

for kernel routines this gets fixed.

A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well,
but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't
have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.

One change in behaviour is that since when one specifies --vmlinux

well.

Also continue if one manages to load the vmlinux data but module

439d473b47 perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modules
Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.

DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.

As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux
/home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15
    84.58%      13266             Xorg  [k] drm_clflush_pages

     0.68%        106             Xorg  [k] drm_open
     0.54%         85             Xorg  [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.

Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.

struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.

The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.

39a90a8ef1 perf timechart: Add a power-only mode
For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a
HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting.

This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.

As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

508c4d0874 perf tools: Fix module symbol loading bug
Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.

If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.

Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

4f1202c8e6 perf timechart: Show the name of the waker/wakee in timechart
Timechart currently shows thin green lines for sending or receiving
wakeups. This patch also prints (in a very small font) the name of
the process that is being woken/wakes up this process.

ec60a3fe47 perf utils: Use a define for the maximum length of a trace event
As per Ingo's review: use a #define rather than an open coded constant
for the maximum length of a trace event for storing in the perf.data file.

964a0b3d2b perf utils: Be consistent about minimum text size in the svghelper
Be more consistent in the svghelper about the minimum text size
by having a global #define for this.

There needs to be a minimum text size in order to keep the size
of the SVG file within the reach of what current SVG viewers can
cope with.
