e17fdaeaec perf bench: Fix order of arguments to memcpy_alloc_mem
This was causing the destination instead of the source to be filled.  As
a result, the source was typically all mapped to one zero page, and
hence very cacheable.

       20.798669 GB/Sec (with prefault)

e19685ed24 perf bench futex: Sanitize -q option in requeue
When given the number of threads to requeue at once by user input,
there's always the risk of this value being larger than the total number
of threads.  This doesn't make any sense, and the kernel can easily deal
with such sort of situations, hence no big deal. We should however
prevent bogus output such as:

./perf bench --repeat 2 futex requeue -q 10
Run summary [PID 22210]: Requeuing 4 threads (from [private] 0x99ef3c to 0x99ef38), 10 at a time.

[Run 1]: Requeued 10 of 4 threads in 0.0040 ms

57480d2cd9 perf tools: Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor
In commit a21b0b354d ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.

This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.

b6f0629a94 perf bench: Add --repeat option
There are a number of benchmarks that do single runs and as a result
does not really help users gain a general idea of how the workload
performs. So the user must either manually do multiple runs or just use
single bogus results.

This option will enable users to specify the amount of runs (arbitrarily
defaulted to 10, to use the existing benchmarks default) through the
'--repeat' option.  Add it to perf-bench instead of implementing it
always in each specific benchmark.

This program is particularly useful to measure the latency of nthread
requeues without waking up any tasks -- thus mimicking a regular

  $ perf bench futex requeue -r 100 -t 64

  [Run 2]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0390 ms
  [Run 3]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0400 ms

27db783074 perf bench: Add futex-wake microbenchmark
Block a bunch of threads on a futex and wake them up, N at a time.

This program is particularly useful to measure the latency of nthread
wakeups in non-error situations:  all waiters are queued and all wake
calls wakeup one or more tasks.

An example run:

  $ perf bench futex wake -t 512 -r 100
  Run summary [PID 27823]: blocking on 512 threads (at futex 0x7e10d4), waking up 1 at a time.

  [Run 1]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 6.0080 ms
  [Run 2]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.2280 ms
  [Run 3]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 4.8300 ms
  ...
  [Run 100]: Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.0100 ms
  Wokeup 512 of 512 threads in 5.0109 ms (+-2.25%)

a043971141 perf bench: Add futex-hash microbenchmark
Introduce futexes to perf-bench and add a program that stresses and
measures the kernel's implementation of the hash table.

This is a multi-threaded program that simply measures the amount of
failed futex wait calls - we only want to deal with the hashing
overhead, so a negative return of futex_wait_setup() is enough to do the
trick.

An example run:

  $ perf bench futex hash -t 32
  Run summary [PID 10989]: 32 threads, each operating on 1024 [private] futexes for 10 secs.

  [thread  0] futexes: 0x19d9b10 ... 0x19dab0c [ 418713 ops/sec ]
  [thread  1] futexes: 0x19daca0 ... 0x19dbc9c [ 469913 ops/sec ]
  [thread  2] futexes: 0x19dbe30 ... 0x19dce2c [ 479744 ops/sec ]
  ...
  [thread 31] futexes: 0x19fbb80 ... 0x19fcb7c [ 464179 ops/sec ]

  Averaged 454310 operations/sec (+- 0.84%), total secs = 10

0fae799e86 perf bench numa: Make no args mean 'run all tests'
If we call just:

  perf bench numa mem

it will present the same output as:

  perf bench numa mem -h

i.e. ask for instructions about what to run.

While that is kinda ok, using 'run all tests' as the default, i.e.
making 'no parms' be equivalent to:

  perf bench numa mem -a

Will allow:

  perf bench numa all

to actually do what is asked: i.e. run all the 'bench' tests, instead of
responding to that by asking what to do.

That, in turn, allows:

  perf bench all

to actually complete, for the same reasons.

And after that, the tests that come after that, and that at some point
hit a NULL deref, will run, allowing me to reproduce a recently reported
problem.

That when you have the needed numa libraries, which wasn't the case for
the reporter, making me a bit confused after trying to reproduce his
report.

So make no parms mean -a.

b81a48ea87 perf bench: Fix failing assertions in numa bench
Patch adds more subtle handling of -C and -N parameters in
parse_{cpu,node}_setup_list() functions when there isn't enough NUMA
nodes or CPUs present.  Instead of assertion and terminating benchmark,
partial test is skipped with error message and perf will continue to the
next one.

Fixed problem can be easily reproduced on machine with only one NUMA
node:

 # Running numa/mem benchmark...

  # Running main, "perf bench numa mem -a"

...

 # Running RAM-bw-remote, "perf bench numa mem -p 1 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0 -M 1 -s
perf: bench/numa.c:622: parse_setup_node_list: Assertion `!(bind_node_0 < 0 ||
		bind_node_0 >= g->p.nr_nodes)' failed.

a198996c7a perf bench: Fix memcpy benchmark for large sizes
The glibc calloc() function has an optimization to not explicitely
memset() very large calloc allocations that just came from mmap(),
because they are known to be zero.

This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from
the zero page, which gives unrealistic results.

Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem.

1c13f3c904 perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite
Add a suite of NUMA performance benchmarks.

The goal was simulate the behavior and access patterns of real NUMA
workloads, via a wide range of parameters, so this tool goes well
beyond simple bzero() measurements that most NUMA micro-benchmarks use:

 - It processes the data and creates a chain of data dependencies,
   like a real workload would. Neither the compiler, nor the
   kernel (via KSM and other optimizations) nor the CPU can
   eliminate parts of the workload.

 - It randomizes the initial state and also randomizes the target
   addresses of the processing - it's not a simple forward scan
   of addresses.

 - It provides flexible options to set process, thread and memory
   relationship information: -G sets "global" memory shared between
   all test processes, -P sets "process" memory shared by all
   threads of a process and -T sets "thread" private memory.

 - There's a NUMA convergence monitoring and convergence latency
   measurement option via -c and -m.

 - Micro-sleeps and synchronization can be injected to provoke lock
   contention and scheduling, via the -u and -S options. This simulates
   IO and contention.

 - The -x option instructs the workload to 'perturb' itself artificially
   every N seconds, by moving to the first and last CPU of the system
   periodically. This way the stability of convergence equilibrium and
   the number of steps taken for the scheduler to reach equilibrium again
   can be measured.

 - The amount of work can be specified via the -l loop count, and/or
   via a -s seconds-timeout value.

 - CPU and node memory binding options, to test hard binding scenarios.
   THP can be turned on and off via madvise() calls.

 - Live reporting of convergence progress in an 'at glance' output format.
   Printing of convergence and deconvergence events.

The 'perf bench numa mem -a' option will start an array of about 30
individual tests that will each output such measurements:

 # Running  5x5-bw-thread, "perf bench numa mem -p 5 -t 5 -P 512 -s 20 -zZ0q --thp  1"

1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

8bf98b8968 perf bench: fix assert when NDEBUG is defined
When NDEBUG is defined, the assert macro will be expanded to nothing.
Some assert calls used in perf are also including some functionality
(e.g. system calls), not only validity checks. Therefore, if NDEBUG is
defined, this functionality will be removed along with the assert.  Perf
also defines BUG_ON based on assert, so it has the same problem.

Define BUG_ON so that the condition will be executed when NDEBUG is
defined.  Replace the assert statements that have these side effects
with BUG_ON.

For defining BUG_ON, use "if (cond) {}" insted of "if (cond) ;" because
in the latter case build fails with "error: suggest braces around empty
body in an ‘if’ statement [-Werror=empty-body]"

17d7a1123f perf bench: Fix confused variable namings and descriptions in mem subsystem
As Namhyung Kim pointed, there are confused namings and descriptions of words
"cycle" and "clock" in mem-memset.c and mem-memcpy.c.

With the option "-c" (or "--clock", now renamed as "--cycle"), mem subsystem
measures cost of memset() and memcpy() with cpu-cycles event.

But current mem subsystem source code contains lots of confused variable
namings and descriptions with "clock" (e.g. the variable use_clock). This is a
very bad style because there is another software event named "cpu-clock". This
patch replaces wrong usage of "clock" to "cycle".

v2: modified Documentation/perf-bench.txt for the descriptions of
--cycle option

By adding following objects:
  bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o
  bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.

The reason was that above objects are assembler sourced and are missing the
GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary
should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.

Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned objects, with all
flags disabled, thus omiting those objects from linker stack flags decision.

7a0153ee15 perf tools: Fix perf stack to non executable on x86_64
By adding following objects:
  bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.

The reason was that above object are assembler sourced and is missing the
GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary
should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.

Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned object, with all
flags disabled, thus omiting this object from linker stack flags decision.

Problem introduced in:

  $ git describe ea7872b
  v2.6.37-rc2-19-gea7872b

d30d4a080d perf tools: Remove unnecessary ctype.h inclusion
There are unnecessary #include <ctype.h> out there, and they might cause
a nasty build failure in some environment. As we already have most of
ctype macros in util.h, just get rid of them.

A few of exceptions are util/symbol.c which needs isupper() macro util.h
doesn't provide and perl scripting support code which includes ctype.h
internally.

e3e877e79b perf bench: Allow passing an iteration count to "bench mem mem{cpy,set}"
"perf stat ... perf bench mem mem..." is pretty meaningless when using
small block sizes (as the overhead of the invocation of each test run
basically hides the actual test result in the noise). Repeating the
actually interesting function's invocation a number of times allows the
results to become meaningful.

800eb01484 perf bench: Also allow measuring alternative memcpy implementations
Intended to be able to support the current selection of the preferred
memcpy() implementation, this patch adds the ability to also measure the
two alternative implementations, again by way of using some
pre-processsor replacement.

While on my Westmere system this proves that the movsb based variant is
worse than the movsq based one (since the ERMS feature isn't there), it
also shows that here for the default as well as small sizes the unrolled
variant outperforms the movsq one.

9ea811973d perf bench: Make "default" memcpy() selection actually use glibc's implementation
Since arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S implements not only __memcpy, but also
memcpy, without further precautions this function will get chose by the
static linker for resolving all references, and hence the "default"
measurement didn't really measure anything else than the
"x86-64-unrolled" one.

Fix this by renaming (through the pre-processor) the conflicting symbol.

On my Westmere system, the glibc variant turns out to require about 4%
less instructions, but 15% more cycles for the default 1Mb block size
measured.

fb7d0b3cef perf tool: Fix gcc 4.6.0 issues
GCC 4.6.0 in Fedora rawhide turned up some compile errors in tools/perf
due to the -Werror=unused-but-set-variable flag.

I've gone through and annotated some of the assignments that had side
effects (ie: return value from a function) with the __used annotation,
and in some cases, just removed unused code.

In a few cases, we were assigning something useful, but not using it in
later parts of the function.

ea7872b9d6 perf bench: Add feature that measures the performance of the arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S memcpy routines via 'perf bench mem'
This patch ports arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to perf bench mem
memcpy for benchmarking memcpy() in userland with tricky and
dirty way.

util/include/asm/cpufeature.h, util/include/asm/dwarf2.h, and
util/include/linux/linkage.h are mostly dummy files with small
wrappers, so that we are able to include memcpy_64.S
unmodified.

49ce8fc651 perf bench: Print both of prefaulted and no prefaulted results by default
After applying this patch, perf bench mem memcpy prints
both of prefualted and without prefaulted score of memcpy().

New options --no-prefault and --only-prefault are added
to print single result, mainly for scripting usage.

Usage example:

 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB
 | # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
 | # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
 |
 |      634.969014 MB/Sec
 |        4.828062 GB/Sec (with prefault)
 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB --only-prefault
 | # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
 | # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
 |
 |        4.705192 GB/Sec (with prefault)
 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB --no-prefault

1967936d68 perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER
To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

c055564217 perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR()
Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.
