Subject[PATCH V3 00/25] perf tools: Introduce an abstraction for AUX Area and Instruction Tracing
Date
Hi

Here is V3 patches for the introduction of an abstraction for
using the AUX area and Instruction tracing.

The patches can also be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/users/ahunter/linux-perf.git

An example perf.data file and build id archive can be found here:

http://git.infradead.org/~ahunter/tfr/

There is also a tar of the 3 most relevant files with debugging
symbols. These need to be placed in under the correct paths in
/usr/lib/debug to get symbols.

Changes in V3:

New patch:
perf tools: Amend mmap ref counting for the AUX area mmap

Move some code under arch:
perf tools: Add Intel PT support
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Updated documentation:
perf report: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions
perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Patches already applied:
perf header: Add AUX area tracing feature
perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support
perf record: Extend -m option for AUX area tracing mmap pages
perf tools: Add a user event for AUX area tracing errors
perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data
perf session: Add instruction tracing options
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for queuing AUX area tracing data
perf auxtrace: Add a heap for sorting AUX area tracing queues
perf auxtrace: Add processing for AUX area tracing events
perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for caching
perf tools: Add member to struct dso for an instruction cache
perf script: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf inject: Add Instruction Tracing support
perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags
perf tools: Add aux_watermark member of struct perf_event_attr

Changes in V2:

Get rid of MIN()
perf auxtrace: Add helpers for AUX area tracing errors
perf inject: Re-pipe AUX area tracing events
perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing


Intel BTS can be used on most recent Intel CPUs. Intel PT
is available on Broadwell.

Examples:

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS userspace only

perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u ls
perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel BTS kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record bts-ls --per-thread -e intel_bts// -- ls
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report bts-ls
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script bts-ls

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT userspace only

perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
perf report
perf script

Trace 'ls' with Intel PT kernel and userspace

~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt-ls -e intel_pt// -- ls
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt-ls
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore script pt-ls


The abstraction has two separate aspects:
1. recording AUX area data
2. processing AUX area data

Recording consists of mmapping a separate buffer and copying
the data into the perf.data file. The buffer is an AUX area
buffer. The data is written preceded by a new user event
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE. The data is too big to fit in the event
but follows immediately afterward. Session processing has to
skip to get to the next event header in a similar fashion to
the existing PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
event. The main recording patches are:

perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
perf tools: Add support for AUX area recording
perf record: Add basic AUX area tracing support

Processing consists of providing hooks in session processing
to enable a decoder to see all the events and deliver synthesized
events transparently into the event stream. The main processing
patch is:

perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data
