From 5067a8cdd4ce3588fca2e0ee554f0f081650de8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 16:38:27 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf trace: Introduce --max-events MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Allow stopping tracing after a number of events take place, considering strace-like syscalls formatting as one event per enter/exit pair or when in a multi-process tracing session a syscall is interrupted and printed ending with '...'. Examples included in the documentation: Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here): $ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4 [root@jouet perf]# trace -e open* --max-events 4 2272.992 ( 0.037 ms): gnome-shell/1370 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 31 2277.481 ( 0.139 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65 3026.398 ( 0.076 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65 4294.665 ( 0.015 ms): sed/15879 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3 $ Trace the first minor page fault when running a workload: # perf trace -F min --max-stack=7 --max-events 1 sleep 1 0.000 ( 0.000 ms): sleep/18006 minfault [__clear_user+0x1a] => 0x5626efa56080 (?k) __clear_user ([kernel.kallsyms]) load_elf_binary ([kernel.kallsyms]) search_binary_handler ([kernel.kallsyms]) __do_execve_file.isra.33 ([kernel.kallsyms]) __x64_sys_execve ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) # Trace the next min page page fault to take place on the first CPU: # perf trace -F min --call-graph=dwarf --max-events 1 --cpu 0 0.000 ( 0.000 ms): Web Content/17136 minfault [js::gc::Chunk::fetchNextDecommittedArena+0x4b] => 0x7fbe6181b000 (?.) js::gc::FreeSpan::initAsEmpty (inlined) js::gc::Arena::setAsNotAllocated (inlined) js::gc::Chunk::fetchNextDecommittedArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::Chunk::allocateArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::GCRuntime::allocateArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::ArenaLists::allocateFromArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::GCRuntime::tryNewTenuredThing (inlined) js::AllocateString (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::Allocate (inlined) JSThinInlineString::new_<(js::AllowGC)1> (inlined) AllocateInlineString<(js::AllowGC)1, unsigned char> (inlined) js::ConcatStrings<(js::AllowGC)1> (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) [0x18b26e6bc2bd] (/tmp/perf-17136.map) Tracing the next four ext4 operations on a specific CPU: # perf trace -e ext4:*/call-graph=fp/ --max-events 4 --cpu 3 0.000 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_es_lookup_extent_enter:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 0 ext4_es_lookup_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.097 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_es_lookup_extent_exit:dev 253,2 ino 57277 found 0 [0/0) 0 ext4_es_lookup_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.141 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_ext_map_blocks_enter:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 0 len 1 flags ext4_ext_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.184 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_ext_load_extent:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 1516511 pblk 18446744071750013657 __read_extent_tree_block ([kernel.kallsyms]) __read_extent_tree_block ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_find_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_ext_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_mpage_readpages ([kernel.kallsyms]) read_pages ([kernel.kallsyms]) __do_page_cache_readahead ([kernel.kallsyms]) ondemand_readahead ([kernel.kallsyms]) generic_file_read_iter ([kernel.kallsyms]) __vfs_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) vfs_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) ksys_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Milian Wolff Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Rudá Moura Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-sweh107bs7ol5bzls0m4tqdz@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-trace.txt | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/builtin-trace.c | 21 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 68 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-trace.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-trace.txt index 115db9e06ecd..0d1a1cd4d328 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-trace.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-trace.txt @@ -171,6 +171,11 @@ the thread executes on the designated CPUs.
