[GIT PULL 00/27] perf/core improvements and fixes

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jul 25 2018 - 14:00:29 EST


Hi Ingo,

Please consider pulling, I'm now investigating why these failed:

38: LLVM search and compile :
38.1: Basic BPF llvm compile : Ok
38.2: kbuild searching : Ok
38.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation : Ok
38.4: Compile source for BPF relocation : FAILED!
40: BPF filter :
40.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
40.2: BPF pinning : Ok
40.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
40.4: BPF relocation checker : FAILED!

I think these failures are not related to changes in this patch
kit. Details about the test environment, versions, etc.

Regards,

- Arnaldo

perf test: Fix subtest number when showing results (2018-07-24 14:55:51 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/cores fixes and improvements:

Tools:

top:

- Fix 'struct comm_str' removal crash race, detected with refcount_t
debugging (Jiri Olsa)

- Use last_match threads cache only in single threaded mode, fixing
a crash (Jiri Olsa)

record:

- Synthesize GROUP_DESC feature in pipe mode fixing display of
event groups (Jiri Olsa)

- Add transaction flag (-T) support in 'perf stat' for S/390 (Thomas Richter)

- Fix 'perf kvm' S/390 subcommands (Thomas Richter)

Infrastructure:

hists:

- Clarify callchain disabling when available (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with
and without libelf support. Where clang is available, it is also used
to build perf with/without libelf, and building with LIBCLANGLLVM=1
(built-in clang) with gcc and clang when clang and its devel libraries
are installed.

The objtool and samples/bpf/ builds are disabled now that I'm switching from
using the sources in a local volume to fetching them from a http server to
build it inside the container, to make it easier to build in a container cluster.
Those will come back later.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
