perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered
We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).
But then, in:
commit 268397cb2a
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Date: Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900
perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied
We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.
So, for instance, when we do:
perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___
the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.
Tested with:
perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative
Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:
perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative
Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.
More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.
But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).
So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

When we started adding extra stuff per array entry, growing the size of
those entries to more than sizeof(pid_t), we had to convert those sizeof
operations to the more robust sizeof(map->map[0]) idiom, that is future
proof, i.e. if/when we add more stuff to those entries, that expression
will produce the new per-entry size.
And besides that, we need to zero out those extra fields, that sometimes
may not get filled, like when we couldn't care less about the comms,
since we don't need those, but since we will try freeing it at
thread_map__delete(), we better fix it.
That is why a thread_map__realloc() was provided.
But that method wasn't used in thread_map__new_by_uid(), fix it.

The 'trace' tool was accepting any names passed and just looking if
syscalls returned via the raw_syscalls:* tracepoints were in that list,
leading to it accepting perf events and then never finding any, as those
are not valid syscall names, confusing users.
Fix it by checking each entry in the list using audit_name_to_syscall,
telling the user which entries are invalid and suggesting where to look
for valid syscall names.
E.g:
[root@zoo ~]# trace -e open,foo,bar,close,baz
Error: Invalid syscall bar, baz, foo
Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
Hint: and: 'man syscalls'

Now it is possible to press CTRL+z at anytime and that will disable the
events being monitored, essentially turning 'top' into 'report', with
pressing CTRL+z again making it enable the events again, returning to
the 'top' behaviour, i.e. dynamic + decaying of older samples.
One may want, for instance, play with:
-d, --delay <n> number of seconds to delay between refreshes
and:
-z, --zero zero history across updates
Plus CTRL+z to see only the events since last zeroing, etc.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.
So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.
So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

To make it consistent with the other dso lifetime routines.
For instance:
struct dso *vdso__new(struct machine *machine, const char *short_name,
const char *long_name)
Becomes:
struct dso *machine__addnew_vdso(struct machine *machine, const
char *short_name, const char *long_name)
Because:
1) There is no 'struct vdso' for us to have vdso__ prefixed routines.
2) Because it will not really just create a new instance of 'struct
dso', it'll call dso__new() but it will also insert it into the
DSO's list/rbtree, and we have a method name for that: 'addnew',
just like we have dsos__addnew().
3) So it is really a 'struct machine' operation, it is the first
argument, etc.
This way the place where this is used gets consistent:
if (vdso) {
pgoff = 0;
- dso = vdso__dso_findnew(machine, thread);
+ dso = machine__findnew_vdso(machine, thread);
} else
dso = machine__findnew_dso(machine, filename);

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.
Start fixing it by reference counting them.
This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.
Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

I was assuming rb_erase() was setting things up like list_del_init, but
the fact that thread__delete() was being sucessfull is because the last
thing before deleting is to remove the thread from the
machine->dead_threads list, using list_del_init(), that has the same
effect as using rb_erase_init()...
Introduce this function so that we can use it when removing objects from
rb_trees.
Then we will be able to BUG_ON(still on a list) in destructors.

When introducing reference counting for struct thread instances I forgot
to remove the synthetic threads from the machine's rbtree so that it
then the threads would have just one reference and thus the
thread__put() replacing the thread__delete() really turns into a
thread__delete() (thread->refcnt == 1 at thread__put() time) and thus
drop the thread->mg refcount, as expected by the this test.
Fix it by calling machine__remove_thread() (the counterpart of
machine__findnew_thread()) on all the synthetic threads after the
checks that involves the rbtree were done.
Before:

This is under investigation, the thread__delete() calls were replaced
with thread__put(), and those cause mismatches because now we need to be
more judicious with the thread lifetime management.
I.e. previously the thread__delete() would drop the map_group refcount,
but now since thread__put doesn't call thread__delete() necessarily.
because we have other refcount holders, the map_group refcount will not
be as we expected when this test was implemented.
Will be fixed soon...

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.

We were not checking in the inner event processing loop if the forked workload
had finished, which, on a busy system, may make it take a long time trying to
drain events, entering a seemingly neverending loop, waiting for the system to
get idle enough to make it drain the buffers.
Fix it by disabling the events when 'done' is true, in the inner loop, to start
draining what is in the buffers.

perf trace: No need to enable evsels for workload started from perf
The assumption was that whenever a workload is specified, the
attr.enable_on_exec evsel flag would be set, but that is not happening
when perf_record_opts.system_wide is set, for instance
That resulted in both perf_evlist__enable() and attr.enable_on_exec
being not called/set, which made the events to remain disabled while the
workload runs, producing no output.
Fix it, by calling perf_evlist__enable() in the 'trace' tool
when forking and not targetting a workload started from trace
v2: Test against !target__none(), as suggested by Namhyung Kim, that is
what is used in perf_evsel__config() when deciding if the
attr.enable_on_exec flag to be set. More work is needed to cover other
cases such as opts->initial_delay.

Even when it is not used to actually reorder events, some of its fields
are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function
signatures where tool, for instance, was being passed, as the tool is
needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well
use it for other perf_session needs.
This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made
session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its
script->tool ordered_events related flags asking for it to be, which
looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further.
Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current
assumptions in place, so do it now.

Use of a bad filter currently generates the message:
Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument)
Add the event name to make it clear to which event the filter
failed to apply:
Error: Failed to set filter "foo" on event sched:sg_lb_stats: 22: Invalid argument
To test it use something like:
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch -e sched:*fork --filter parent_pid==1 -e sched:*wait* --filter bla usleep 1
Error: failed to set filter "bla" on event sched:sched_stat_iowait with 22 (Invalid argument)

Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
│The vmlinux file can't be used. │
│Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Now, it reports:
# perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
│Kernel samples will not be resolved. │
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.

Currently the code skips the first field with the expectation that it is 'nr'.
But older kernels do not have the 'nr' field:
field:int nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
Change perf-trace to drop the field if it exists after parsing the format file.
This fixes the off-by-one problem with older kernels (e.g., RHEL6). e.g,
perf-trace shows this for write:
1.515 ( 0.006 ms): dd/4245 write(buf: 2</dev/pts/0>, count: 140733837536224 ) = 26
where 2 is really the fd, the huge number is really the buf address, etc. With
this patch you get the more appropriate:
1.813 ( 0.003 ms): dd/6330 write(fd: 2</dev/pts/0>, buf: 0x7fff22fc81f0, count: 25) = 25
