Do you want to know where your code waits locks for a long time?
Yes! It's for you. This feature helps you to find bottlenecks.
It's not artificial task. Once one of my colleague was investigating a
scalability problem. He pressed sysrq-t some times and tried to merge
call-chains by hand. But perf can do that.
Problem:
The problem is that events sched_stat_* contain call-chains of
non-target tasks.
About month ago I sent series of patches:
[PATCH 0/3] trace: add ability to collect call chains of non current task.
Peter and Frederic explained me, that this solve isn't good and will be
better to make it in userspace.
Now it's in userspace. This series expands "perf inject" to be able to
merge sched_switch events and sched_stat* events. sched_switch events
contain correct call-chains and sched_stat contains a correct time
slices.
v2:
* Removed all known issues. Now it works completely.
* Improved usability of sched-stat scripts according with Arun's comments.
v3: fixed accoding to comments from David Ahem
Andrew Vagin (7):
perf: use event_name() to get an event name
perf: add ability to record event period
perf: add ability to change event according to sample (v2)
perf: teach "perf inject" to work with files
perf: teach perf inject to merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch events
perf: add scripts for profiling sleep times (v2)
event: add tracepoint for accounting block time

It's opposition of perf_session__parse_sample.
v2: fixed mistakes which David Arhen found

You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain
may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add
handler in perf inject for merging this events.
My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets
stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event
contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all
stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events.

Before this patch "perf inject" can only handle data from pipe.
I want to use "perf inject" for reworking events. Look at my following patch.

This tracepoint shows how long a task is sleeping in uninterruptible state.
E.g.
It may show how long and where a mutex is waited.

Fair enough, makes one wonder how much it would take to make
account_scheduler_latency() go away..

Have you read the the discussion with Robert Richter about that?
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/24/237
perf_evlist is what you call perf_bundle and perf_evsel is what you call
perf_event in powertop.
That part of the API should be ok for wider use and is in fact exported
in the python binding.
I'm rearranging my tmp.perf/trace4 branch into perf/core to ask for
merging, that is a step in the direction of having the 'perf tool' class
added to what will become libperf.so.
I almost embarked into an attempt to make powertop use it, but there are
other stuff to do first, like making the tracepoint based tools already
in perf stop using long if-strcmp(evname, "foo")-call-process_foo_event
(we have IDs, a hash, better use that, etc).
The 'strace' will be Ingo & tglx's 'trace' tool using these changes,
should be done in a way that shows how to use the resulting abstractions
in libperf.so, that together with the other tools already in the kernel
(kmem, lock, etc).

Sure its not :-)

I haven't suggested that you use any other language than C.
What I tried to say was that the way the python binding was written
provides an initial libperf.so, just that it is not exposed yet.
That is, the subset of C files there is (or should be) untangled from
all the rest of tools/perf.

I can probably have something like:
[acme@emilia linux]$ make help | grep perf
perf-tar-src-pkg - Build perf-3.2.0-rc1.tar source tarball
perf-targz-src-pkg - Build perf-3.2.0-rc1.tar.gz source tarball
perf-tarbz2-src-pkg - Build perf-3.2.0-rc1.tar.bz2 source tarball
perf-tarxz-src-pkg - Build perf-3.2.0-rc1.tar.xz source tarball
[acme@emilia linux]$
i.e.:
$ make libperf-tar-src.pkg

Yes, I'll take that into account.

Right, I'm working on that, don't know when it will get to the point
you'd consider using it, but I'll try to address your concerns in the
process.

Ok, I'm taking this one, David, can I added an 'Acked-by: you"? Or even
"reviewed-by:" ?
I'm just changing 'data' to 'sample', data is way to vague, I kept it
for a while in the past just to reduce patch size, but this is something
completely new, so better use 'sample'.

Also I'm changing it from perf_event__change_sample() to
perf_event__synthesize_sample() as that is what is happening, you're not
taking some perf_sample and changing it just a bit, but synthesizing it
completely.
Since synthesize is used elsewhere when we synthesize PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
etc for existing threads, I'll use it here too.

This patch doesn't apply in current tip/perf/core as this logic was
moved to perf_evsel/perf_evlist, so that it can be used by other tools.
Please add the 'period' variable to struct perf_record_opts and the
sample_type or'ing to perf_evsel__config().
I suggest you use https://github.com/acmel/linux/commits/perf/core for
that.

Yes - Andrey's patches (v2) have been functional for me when used via:
perf record -agP -e sched:sched_switch --filter "prev_state == 1 ||
prev_state == 2" -e sched:sched_stat_sleep,sched:sched_stat_iowait --
sleep 3
mv perf.data{,.old}; perf inject -s -i perf.data.old -o perf.data
perf report --stdio -g graph --sort pid -C command-name
There are two major issues though:
* The above command lines cause us to collect way too much data and perf
can't keep up on a busy server
Eg:
Warning:
Processed 55182 events and lost 13 chunks!
Check IO/CPU overload!
* Requires root access
I suspect there is a way to stash the delay information available at
enqueue_sleeper() into the task_struct (or some place else) and make it
available at the sched:sched_switch tracepoint. This would solve both of
the problems above, but I don't have a patch yet.
