Stephane Eranian 9b07e27f88 perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support
This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.

This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file.  Those images are created where the jitdump file is.  The
MMAP records point to that location as well.

Typical flow:

  $ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
  $ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.

The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.

The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal.  The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.

This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.

In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:

  -  the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
     to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.

  - Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
    at which the code resides.
    Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

  - Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
    objects to match the file offset.
    Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

  - JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
    MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
    finished_round events from the output perf.data file.

Adrian Hunter f56fb9864c perf inject: Add --strip option to strip out non-synthesized events
Add a new option --strip which is used with --itrace to strip out
non-synthesized events.  This results in a perf.data file that is
simpler for external tools to parse.  In particular, this can be used to
prepare a perf.data file for consumption by autofdo.

A subsequent patch makes a change to Intel PT also to enable use with
autofdo and gives an example of that use.

Let perf inject take --kallsyms parameter the same as perf script and

That is needed for decoding Instruction Trace data using a copy of

locate that copy.

Andrew Vagin 26a031e136 perf inject: Merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch events
You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain
may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add
handler in perf inject for merging this events.

My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets
stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event
contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all
stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events.

I use the next sequence of commands for testing:

  perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \
	      -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \
	      ~/test-program
  perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data
  perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data

	long s;

	for (i = 0; i <  10; i++) {
		ts1.tv_sec = 0;
		ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000;
		nanosleep(&ts1, NULL);

		tv1.tv_sec = 0;
		tv1.tv_usec = 40000;
		select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1);
	}
	return 1;

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 11d232ec28 perf inject: Add missing bits
New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt
so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf

 usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]

 The most commonly used perf commands are:
   annotate        Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
   archive         Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file
   bench           General framework for benchmark suites
   buildid-cache   Manage build-id cache.
   buildid-list    List the buildids in a perf.data file
   diff            Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile
   inject          Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
   kmem            Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties
   kvm             Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
   list            List all symbolic event types
   lock            Analyze lock events
   probe           Define new dynamic tracepoints
   record          Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
   report          Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
   sched           Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
   stat            Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
   test            Runs sanity tests.
   timechart       Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
   top             System profiling tool.
   trace           Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output

 See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list.

Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one
to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.
