perf buildid-cache: Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE

Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE.

Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has
same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a
FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache
about FILE path.

perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*'

The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version
--exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree
--debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two
problems:

 Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in
 perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If
 not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf
 really supports will be inconsistent.

 Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g.
 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the
 character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the
 bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can
 continue to choose one.

 To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports
 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash
 completion now.

Example:

 Before this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 $ perf --                  <-- 'h' disappears and no required result

 After this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 --help       --html-path   <-- the required result

perf list: Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix

(e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list
event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for
accuracy.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf list tracepoint_foo:*

   ...                                                ...

As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the
command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo.

After this patch:

   tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter                        [Tracepoint event]

As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.

9 years agoperf diff: Support for different binaries
Kan Liang [Mon, 9 Feb 2015 05:39:44 +0000 (05:39 +0000)]
perf diff: Support for different binaries

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.

Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names.  The
commit as below can look for a pair by name.

604c5c92972d (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol")
However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means
the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a
problem for comparing different binaries.

For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very
likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old
binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary,
perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong.

Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name.
9c443dfdd31e ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations")
>From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address.

The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010.
a1645ce12adb ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance
from host")
However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf
diff cannot work for different binaries as well.

This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The
document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to
compare the symbol names.

Here are some examples:

The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the
location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous
perf diff display the wrong differential profile.

To convert perf.data into CTF run:
  $ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/

The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
CTF stream.

Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
from following exceptions:

  PERF_SAMPLE_RAW          - added in next patch
  PERF_SAMPLE_READ         - TODO
  PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN    - TODO
  PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
  PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER    - TODO
  PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER   - TODO

The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
distinguish and specify perf CTF data:

  - domain

    It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
    confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)

  - tracer_name

    It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
    CTF based trace.

  - version

    The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
    it looks like on a Debian kernel:

      release = "3.14-1-amd64";
      version = "3.14.0";

Linux 4.0-rc1

.. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to

Big surprise.

But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?

In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.

Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.

But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

Konstantin Khlebnikov [Thu, 19 Feb 2015 17:19:35 +0000 (20:19 +0300)]
trylock_super(): replacement for grab_super_passive()

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.

Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.

This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a ->d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/ralf/upstream-linus

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS:

   - a number of fixes that didn't make the 3.19 release.

   - a number of cleanups.

   - preliminary support for Cavium's Octeon 3 SOCs which feature up to
     48 MIPS64 R3 cores with FPU and hardware virtualization.

   - support for MIPS R6 processors.

     Revision 6 of the MIPS architecture is a major revision of the MIPS
     architecture which does away with many of original sins of the
     architecture such as branch delay slots.  This and other changes in
     R6 require major changes throughout the entire MIPS core
     architecture code and make up for the lion share of this pull
     request.

   - finally some preparatory work for eXtendend Physical Address
     support, which allows support of up to 40 bit of physical address
     space on 32 bit processors"

     [ Ahh, MIPS can't leave the PAE brain damage alone.  It's like
       every CPU architect has to make that mistake, but pee in the snow
       by changing the TLA.  But whether it's called PAE, LPAE or XPA,
       it's horrid crud   - Linus ]
