2023-03-15perf script: Fix Python support when no libtraceeventAdrian Hunter
Python scripting can be used without libtraceevent. In particular, scripting for Intel PT does not use tracepoints, and so does not need libtraceevent support. Alter the build and employ conditional compilation to allow Python scripting without libtraceevent. Example: Before: $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data ] $ perf script intel-pt-events.py |& head -3 Error: Couldn't find script `intel-pt-events.py' See perf script -l for available scripts. After: $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python libpython3.10.so.1.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.so.1.0 (0x00007f4bac400000) $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent $ perf script intel-pt-events.py | head Intel PT Branch Trace, Power Events, Event Trace and PTWRITE Switch In 8021/8021 [000] 11234.097713404 0/0 perf-exec 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098041726 psb offset: 0x0 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) perf-exec 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098041726 cbr 45 freq: 4505 MHz (161%) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098082170 branches:uH tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f3a8b9422b0 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098082379 branches:uH tr end 7f3a8b9422b0 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) => 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098083629 branches:uH tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f3a8b9422b0 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098083629 branches:uH call 7f3a8b9422b3 _start+0x3 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) => 7f3a8b943050 _dl_start+0x0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098083837 branches:uH tr end 7f3a8b943060 _dl_start+0x10 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) => 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) IPC: 0.01 (9/938) uname 8021/8021 [000] 11234.098084670 branches:uH tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f3a8b943060 _dl_start+0x10 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) Fixes: 378ef0f5d9d7f465 ("perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system") Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230315084321.14563-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2022-12-14perf build: Use libtraceevent from the systemIan Rogers
Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include <traceevent/event-parse.h> to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: <quote> tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o </quote> Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: <quote> With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” </quote> Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

2022-07-26perf kwork: New tool to trace time properties of kernel work (such as ↵Yang Jihong
softirq, and workqueue) The 'perf kwork' tool is used to trace time properties of kernel work (such as irq, softirq, and workqueue), including runtime, latency, and timehist, using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra targets. This is the first commit to reuse the 'perf record' framework code to implement a simple record function, kwork is not supported currently. Test cases: # perf usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS] The most commonly used perf commands are: <SNIP> iostat Show I/O performance metrics kallsyms Searches running kernel for symbols kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os kwork Tool to trace/measure kernel work properties (latencies) list List all symbolic event types lock Analyze lock events mem Profile memory accesses record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data <SNIP> See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command. # perf kwork Usage: perf kwork [<options>] {record} -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -k, --kwork <kwork> list of kwork to profile -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) # perf kwork record -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.787 MB perf.data ] Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Clarke <pc@us.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220709015033.38326-2-yangjihong1@huawei.com [ Add {} for multiline if blocks ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2021-02-09perf daemon: Add daemon commandJiri Olsa
Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering various setup in start command. Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info. This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run record long running sessions on the background. The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command. This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or removed, etc. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Budankov <abudankov@huawei.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210208200908.1019149-2-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2018-01-23perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are presentHendrik Brueckner
Change the Makefile and build process to no longer require audit-libs interfaces when the architecture provides system call tables. Committer notes: Its not enough to hook into the NO_LIBAUDIT makefile block, we need to define a CONFIG_TRACE that gets selected by both architectures generating the syscall tables from the kernel headers and from detecting the availability of libaudit. With that in place we will not link against libaudit even if the necessary files are available for that, in fact we will not even try to detect its availability, speeding up a bit the feature detection phase.

2017-01-17perf tools: Move two variables usied in libperf from perf.cSoramichi AKIYAMA
The use_browser and perf_version_string variables are both declared in perf.c but they are also referenced by other functions of libperf.a. Therefore a user linking an own main() with libperf.a must declare those two variables in their files even if the files never use the browser or the version information. This patch fixes this issue by moving use_browser and perf_version_string out of perf.c to some other files.
