Arnaldo reported an unhelpful error message when running perf sched
timehist on a file that did not contain sched tracepoints:
[root@jouet ~]# perf sched timehist
No trace sample to read. Did you call 'perf record -R'?
[root@jouet ~]# perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
Change the has_traces check to look for the sched_switch event. Analysis
for perf sched timehist requires at least this event.
Now when analyzing a file without sched tracepoints you get:
root@f21-vbox:/tmp$ perf sched timehist
No sched_switch events found. Have you run 'perf sched record'?

'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.
Example usage:
perf sched record -- sleep 1
perf sched timehist
By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
time for the task:
time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time

Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script
and sched commands. This was because of difference in printing the
timestamp. Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in
sync. Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too.
Committer notes:
Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as
pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf()
model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as
the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is
obtained, renaming it from:
char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp)
to
int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size)

I'd like to see the name of tasks with perf sched map, but it only shows
name of new tasks and then use short names after all. This is not good
for long running tasks since it's hard for users to track the short

-v option is used. Probably we may make it as default behavior.

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.
That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.
So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.
I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".
The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

10 to calculate their value.
However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r

more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.
And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
maximum files which are allowed to be opened.
That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.
This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
simultaneously with privilege.
For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
events.
That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.
As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
open files with a '-f' option.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
163840
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
6815744

Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).
The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
it will be blocked.
For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...
This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
time when perf sched record runs.
As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
successfully created.
If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.
And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
all.
To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
to create its thread.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
Before this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
files)
------------------------------------------------------------ <- dead halt
After this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
files)
$
As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
error message and does not block itself.

The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr.
Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling
process.
The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
sched->nr_tasks threads.
If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
then.
To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
segmentation fault problem.

Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according
to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.
If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
assertion failure problem.
To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
current pid_max.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max

The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID]
is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems:
Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the
system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste
of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu
cores is much smaller than 1000.
Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value
larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The
maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64,
PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This
value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes
(4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much
larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling
process.
Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of
pid_to_task dynamically.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
163840
$ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
1025000
Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than
the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem
when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64.
This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least
PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in
include/linux/threads.h).
Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are
65536/1024=64. This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will
cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the
codes.
We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in
x86_64 with 1000 cores.
This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size
of calling process.
Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192
Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define
_STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)).
Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to
the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up
a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes.
We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID.
This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in
x86_64 without any assertion failure problem.

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.
We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.
