Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel

The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect

get extra stuff that we don't need or want.

14 years agoperf: Add kernel side syscall events support for breakpoints

Add the remaining necessary bits to support breakpoints created
through perf syscall.

We don't use the software counter interface as:

- We don't need to check against recursion, this is already done
  in hardware breakpoints arch level.

perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling land

It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.

perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).

The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.

This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.

Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.

Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.

14 years agoperf bench: Make the mem/memcpy tests more user-friendly

perf bench: Make the mem/memcpy tests more user-friendly

mem-memcpy.c uses perf event system calls to obtain CPU clocks.
And it suddenly dies with BUG_ON() when it running on Linux
doesn't support perf event.

Also fail at calloc() can occur easily when too large
length is passed. Fail of calloc() causes sudden death
with assert().

These behaviours are not friendly. So I fixed the treating of
errors.

perf_events: Fix default watermark calculation

This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling
buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark =
max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received
when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would
never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples).

In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the
problem because there was not enough space left to store the
LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here.
The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to
store one LOST record.

This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size.
With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even
with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a
page.

currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back
to using /proc/kallsyms.

This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have
a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use
the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf
annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use
just /proc/kallsyms.

Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous
changeset in this series, because we are using the default
dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking
for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the
-debuginfo directories.

14 years agoperf symbols: Do lazy symtab loading for the kernel & modules too

perf symbols: Do lazy symtab loading for the kernel & modules too

Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
loading it if needed.

Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
vmlinux.
