Ravi Bangoria 739cf30551 perf trace: Add usage of --no-syscalls in man page
perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man
page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES
section.)

Committer note:

The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way.

This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events,
such as tracepoints, so more and more we use:

  # perf trace --no-syscalls -e nmi:*
     0.000 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 36649 handled: 1)
     0.019 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 2907 handled: 0)

Milian Wolff 5dfa210e40 perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as key
Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.

Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.

The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  $ perf report --stdio --inline -g address

It takes some time to look for inline stack for callgraph addresses.  So
it provides new option "--inline" to let user decide if enable this
feature.

  --inline:

  If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack
  will be printed. Each entry is the inline function name or file/line.

Andi Kleen 430daf2dc7 perf stat: Collapse identically named events
The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Andi Kleen 48d02a1d5c perf script: Add 'brstackinsn' for branch stacks
Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.

This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.

This is good enough for pattern matching.

This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).

  % perf record -b ...
  % perf script -F brstackinsn
  ...
    read_hpet+67:
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED
          ffffffff9905b82f        insn: 85 c9
          ffffffff9905b831        insn: 74 12
          ffffffff9905b833        insn: f3 90
          ffffffff9905b835        insn: 48 8b 0f
          ffffffff9905b838        insn: 48 89 ca
          ffffffff9905b83b        insn: 48 c1 ea 20
          ffffffff9905b83f        insn: 39 f2
          ffffffff9905b841        insn: 89 d0
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.

Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.

The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.

An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

Committer note:

Added hint about how to get suitable perf.data files for use with
'-F brstackinsm':

  $ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $
  $ perf script -F brstackinsn
  Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set
  Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'

Hari Bathini d890a98c92 perf tools: Add 'cgroup_id' sort order keyword
This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier.

With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup
namespace,  this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at
once.

A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing
SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run
different workloads  on each of those contexts,  while running perf
record command with --namespaces option.

Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier,
on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating
one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with
others:

	$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
	#
	# Total Lost Samples: 0
	#
	# Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
	# Event count (approx.): 5965
	#
	# Overhead  cgroup id (dev/inode)       Samples
	# ........  .....................  ............
	#
	    81.27%  3/0xeffffffb                   4848
	    16.24%  3/0xf00000d0                    969
	     1.16%  3/0xf00000ce                     69
	     0.82%  3/0xf00000cf                     49
	     0.50%  0/0x0                            30

While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For
example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev
and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish
which processes are running in a given container context.

Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds
plausible for better tracing of containers.

Hari Bathini 96a44bbccd perf script: Add script print support for namespace events
Introduce a new option to display events of type PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES
and update perf-script documentation accordingly.

Shown below is output (trimmed) of perf script command with the newly
introduced option, on perf.data generated with perf record command using
--namespaces option.

Commiter notes:

Testing it:

Investigating that double PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES for the 19155
pid/tid... Its more than that, there are two PERF_RECORD_COMM as well,
and with zeroed timestamps, so probably a synthesizing artifact...

Hari Bathini f3b3614a28 perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
     ret  += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
                                         ^
Testing it:

  # perf record --namespaces -a

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]
  #

Masahiro Yamada 9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

Namhyung Kim 63b42fce86 perf diff: Add -q/--quiet option
The -q/--quiet option is to suppress any message.  Sometimes users just
want to see the numbers and it can be used for that case.

Jiri Olsa 483635a9d0 perf record: Add -a as default target
Running 'perf record' with no target (-a, -p, -t, etc) will now collect
system wide data.

Commiter notes:

Testing it:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf record
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.351 MB perf.data (366 samples) ]
  #

is equivalent to:

  # perf record -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.411 MB perf.data (978 samples) ]

Jiri Olsa 0d79f8b931 perf stat: Add -a as default target
Boris asked for default -a option in case we monitor only uncore events.

While implementing that I thought it might be actually useful to make it
overall default.

Running 'perf stat' will now collect system wide data.

Committer note:

Namhyung Kim be57b3fd21 perf diff: Change default setting to "delta-abs"
The "delta-abs" compute method will show most changed entries on top.
So users can easily see how much effect between the data.  Note that it
also changes the default of -o option to 1 in order to apply the compute
method.  To see original-style (sorted by baseline) use -o 0 option.
