The 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c' tools are wrappers around 'perf record'
with mem load/ store events. IBS tagged load/store sample provides most
of the information needed for these tools. Wire in the "ibs_op//" event
as mem-ldst event for AMD.
There are some limitations though: Only load/store micro-ops provide
mem/c2c information. Whereas, IBS does not have a way to choose a
particular type of micro-op to tag. This results in many non-LS
micro-ops being tagged which appear as N/A in the perf report. IBS,
being an uncore pmu from kernel point of view[1], does not support per
process monitoring. Thus, perf mem/c2c on AMD are currently supported in
per-cpu mode only.
Example:
$ sudo perf mem record -- -c 10000
^C[ perf record: Woken up 227 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 58.760 MB perf.data (836978 samples) ]
$ sudo perf mem report -F mem,sample,snoop
Samples: 836K of event 'ibs_op//', Event count (approx.): 8418762

Currently perf sets PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT flag only for mem load events.
Set it for combined load-store event as well which will enable recording
of load latency by default on arch that does not support independent
mem load event.

Note that it just compares and displays the sample ip. Each process can
have a different memory layout and the ip will be different even if they run
the same binary. So this sort key is mostly meaningful for per-process
profile data.

It needs stack traces to find callers of locks. To minimize the
performance overhead it only collects up to 8 entries for each stack
trace. And it skips first 3 entries as they came from BPF, tracepoint
and lock functions which are not interested for most users.
But it turned out that those numbers are different in some
configuration. Using fixed number can result in non meaningful caller
names. Let's make them adjustable with --stack-depth and --skip-stack
options.
On my setup, the default output is like below:
# /perf lock con -ab -F contended,wait_total sleep 3
contended total wait type caller
28 4.55 ms rwlock:W __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
33 1.67 ms rwlock:W __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
12 580.28 us spinlock __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
60 240.54 us rwsem:R __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
27 64.45 us spinlock __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
If I change the stack skip to 5, the result will be like:
# perf lock con -ab -F contended,wait_total --stack-skip 5 sleep 3
contended total wait type caller
32 715.45 us spinlock folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave+0x61

AUX area traces can produce too much data to record successfully or
analyze subsequently. Add another means to reduce data collection by
allowing multiple recording time ranges.
This is useful, for instance, in cases where a workload produces
predictably reproducible events in specific time ranges.
Today we only have perf record -D <msecs> to start at a specific region, or
some complicated approach using snapshot mode and external scripts sending
signals or using the fifos. But these approaches are difficult to set up
compared with simply having perf do it.
Extend perf record option -D/--delay option to specifying relative time
stamps for start stop controlled by perf with the right time offset, for
instance:
perf record -e intel_pt// -D 10-20,30-40
to record 10ms to 20ms into the trace and 30ms to 40ms.
Example:
The example workload is:
$ cat repeat-usleep.c
int usleep(useconds_t usec);
int usage(int ret, const char *msg)
{
if (msg)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", msg);
fprintf(stderr, "Usage is: repeat-usleep <microseconds>\n");
return ret;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long usecs;
char *end_ptr;
if (argc != 2)
return usage(1, "Error: Wrong number of arguments!");
errno = 0;
usecs = strtoul(argv[1], &end_ptr, 0);
if (errno || *end_ptr || usecs > UINT_MAX)
return usage(1, "Error: Invalid argument!");
while (1) {
int ret = usleep(usecs);
if (ret & errno != EINTR)
return usage(1, "Error: usleep() failed!");
}
return 0;
}
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u --delay 10-20,40-70,110-160 -- ./repeat-usleep 500

A dlfilter is used to determine continuous data collection (timestamps
less than 1ms apart):
$ cat dlfilter-show-delays.c
static __u64 start_time;
static __u64 last_time;
int start(void **data, void *ctx)
{
printf("%-17s\t%-9s\t%-6s\n", " Time", " Duration", " Delay");
return 0;
}
int filter_event_early(void *data, const struct perf_dlfilter_sample *sample, void *ctx)
{
__u64 delta;
if (!sample->time)
return 1;
if (!last_time)
goto out;
delta = sample->time - last_time;
if (delta < 1000000)
goto out2;;
printf("%17.9f\t%9.1f\t%6.1f\n", start_time / 1000000000.0, (last_time - start_time) / 1000000.0, delta / 1000000.0);
out:
start_time = sample->time;
out2:
last_time = sample->time;
return 1;
}
int stop(void *data, void *ctx)
{
printf("%17.9f\t%9.1f\n", start_time / 1000000000.0, (last_time - start_time) / 1000000.0);
return 0;
}
The result shows the times roughly match the --delay option:
$ perf script --itrace=qb --dlfilter dlfilter-show-delays.so

This commit adds the option --known-build-ids to perf inject.
It allows the user to explicitly specify the build id for a given
path, instead of retrieving it from the current system. This is
useful in cases where a perf.data file is processed on a different
system from where it was collected, or if some of the binaries are
no longer available.
The build ids and paths are specified in pairs in the command line.
Using the file:// specifier, build ids can be loaded from a file
directly generated by perf buildid-list. This is convenient to copy
build ids from one perf.data file to another.
** Example: In this example we use perf record to create two
perf.data files, one with build ids and another without, and use
perf buildid-list and perf inject to copy the build ids from the
first file to the second.
$ perf record ls /tmp
$ perf record --no-buildid -o perf.data.no-buildid ls /tmp
$ perf buildid-list > build-ids.txt
$ perf inject -b --known-build-ids='file://build-ids.txt' \
-i perf.data.no-buildid -o perf.data.buildid

The Intel hybrid description is written in a different style than the
rest of the perf record man page. There were some new command line
options added after it which resulted in very strange section ordering.
Move the hybrid include last.
Also the sub sections in the hybrid document don't fit the record
manpage well (especially since it talks about all kinds of unrelated
commands). I left this for now, but would be better to separate this
properly in the different man pages.
It would be better to use sub sections for the other sections, but these
don't seem to be supported in AsciiDoc?
Some of the examples are still misrendered in the manpage with an
indented troff command, but I don't know how to fix that.
In any case it's now better than before.

'perf record' generates perf.data, which generates extra interrupts
for hard disk, amount of data to be collected increases with time.
Using eBPF trace can process the data in kernel, which solves the
preceding two problems.
Add -b/--use-bpf option for latency and report to support
tracing kwork events using eBPF:
1. Create bpf prog and attach to tracepoints,
2. Start tracing after command is entered,
3. After user hit "ctrl+c", stop tracing and report,
4. Support CPU and name filtering.
This commit implements the framework code and
does not add specific event support.

Since there are no report supported events, the output is empty.
Briefly describe the data structure:
1. "class" indicates event type. For example, irq and softiq correspond
to different types.
2. "cluster" refers to a specific event corresponding to a type. For
example, RCU and TIMER in softirq correspond to different clusters,
which contains three types of events: raise, entry, and exit.
3. "atom" includes time of each sample and sample of the previous phase.
(For example, exit corresponds to entry, which is used for timehist.)
Committer notes:
- Add {} for multiline if blocks.
- report_print_work() should either return that ret variable that
accounts how many bytes were printed or stop accounting and be void.
Do the former for now to avoid this:

iostat Show I/O performance metrics
kallsyms Searches running kernel for symbols
kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
kwork Tool to trace/measure kernel work properties (latencies)
list List all symbolic event types
lock Analyze lock events
mem Profile memory accesses
record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data

Inject events from a perf.data file recorded in a virtual machine into
a perf.data file recorded on the host at the same time.
Only side band events (e.g. mmap, comm, fork, exit etc) and build IDs are
injected. Additionally, the guest kcore_dir is copied as kcore_dir__
appended to the machine PID.
This is non-trivial because:
o It is not possible to process 2 sessions simultaneously so instead
events are first written to a temporary file.
o To avoid conflict, guest sample IDs are replaced with new unused sample
IDs.
o Guest event's CPU is changed to be the host CPU because it is more
useful for reporting and analysis.
o Sample ID is mapped to machine PID which is recorded with VCPU in the
id index. This is important to allow guest events to be related to the
guest machine and VCPU.
o Timestamps must be converted.
o Events are inserted to obey finished-round ordering.
The anticipated use-case is:
- start recording sideband events in a guest machine
- start recording an AUX area trace on the host which can trace also the
guest (e.g. Intel PT)
- run test case on the guest
- stop recording on the host
- stop recording on the guest
- copy the guest perf.data file to the host
- inject the guest perf.data file sideband events into the host perf.data
file using perf inject
- the resulting perf.data file can now be used
Subsequent patches provide Intel PT support for this.

This new option displays all of the information needed to do external
BuildID-based symbolization of kernel stack traces, such as those collected
by bpf_get_stackid().
For each kernel module plus the main kernel, it displays the BuildID,
the start and end virtual addresses of that module's text range (rounded
out to page boundaries), and the pathname of the module.
When run as a non-privileged user, the actual addresses of the modules'
text ranges are not available, so the tools displays "0, <text length>" for
kernel modules and "0, 0xffffffffffffffff" for the kernel itself.
Sample output:

Currently it has no interface to specify the max stack depth for perf
record. Extend the command line parameter to accept a number after
'fp' to specify the depth like '--call-graph fp,32'.

PMUs advertise their capabilities via sysfs attribute files but
the perf tool currently parses only core(CPU) or hybrid core PMU
capabilities. Add support of recording non-core PMU capabilities
int perf.data header.
Note that a newly proposed HEADER_PMU_CAPS is replacing existing
HEADER_HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS. Special care is taken for hybrid core
PMUs by writing their capabilities first in the perf.data header
to make sure new perf.data file being read by old perf tool does
not break.

In preparation for recording sideband events in a virtual machine guest so
that they can be injected into a host perf.data file.
This is needed to enable injecting events after the initial synthesized
user events (that have an all zero id sample) but before regular events.
Committer notes:
Add entry about PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT to
tools/perf/Documentation/perf.data-file-format.txt.
Committer testing:
Before:
# perf report -D | grep FINISHED
0 0x5910 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
FINISHED_ROUND events: 1 ( 0.5%)
#
After:
# perf record -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
# perf report -D | grep FINISHED
0 0x5068 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_INIT: unhandled!
0 0x5390 [0x8]: PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND
FINISHED_ROUND events: 1 ( 0.5%)
FINISHED_INIT events: 1 ( 0.5%)

Add --off-cpu option to enable the off-cpu profiling with BPF. It'd
use a bpf_output event and rename it to "offcpu-time". Samples will
be synthesized at the end of the record session using data from a BPF
map which contains the aggregated off-cpu time at context switches.
So it needs root privilege to get the off-cpu profiling.
Each sample will have a separate user stacktrace so it will skip
kernel threads. The sample ip will be set from the stacktrace and
other sample data will be updated accordingly. Currently it only
handles some basic sample types.
The sample timestamp is set to a dummy value just not to bother with
other events during the sorting. So it has a very big initial value
and increase it on processing each samples.
Good thing is that it can be used together with regular profiling like
cpu cycles. If you don't want to that, you can use a dummy event to
enable off-cpu profiling only.
Example output:
$ sudo perf record --off-cpu perf bench sched messaging -l 1000
$ sudo perf report --stdio --call-graph=no
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 41K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 42137343851
...
# Samples: 1K of event 'offcpu-time'
# Event count (approx.): 587990831640

As you can see it spent most of off-cpu time in read and write in
bench_sched_messaging(). The --call-graph=no was added just to make
the output concise here.
It uses perf hooks facility to control BPF program during the record
session rather than adding new BPF/off-cpu specific calls.
