Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches that fix a number of bugs in the in-kernel AFS
client, including:
- Fix directory locking to not use individual page locks for
directory reading/scanning but rather to use a semaphore on the
afs_vnode struct as the directory contents must be read in a single
blob and data from different reads must not be mixed as the entire
contents may be shuffled about between reads.
- Fix address list parsing to handle port specifiers correctly.
- Only give up callback records on a server if we actually talked to
that server (we might not be able to access a server).
- Fix some callback handling bugs, including refcounting,
whole-volume callbacks and when callbacks actually get broken in
response to a CB.CallBack op.
- Fix some server/address rotation bugs, including giving up if we
can't probe a server; giving up if a server says it doesn't have a
volume, but there are more servers to try.
- Fix the decoding of fetched statuses to be OpenAFS compatible.
- Fix the handling of server lookups in Cache Manager ops (such as
CB.InitCallBackState3) to use a UUID if possible and to handle no
server being found.
- Fix a bug in server lookup where not all addresses are compared.
- Fix the non-encryption of calls that prevents some servers from
being accessed (this also requires an AF_RXRPC patch that has
already gone in through the net tree).
There's also a patch that adds tracepoints to log Cache Manager ops
that don't find a matching server, either by UUID or by address"

============

|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-diff - Read perf.data files and display the differential profile
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf diff' [baseline file] [data file1] [[data file2] ... ]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command displays the performance difference amongst two or more perf.data
|
|
files captured via perf record.
|
|
|
|
If no parameters are passed it will assume perf.data.old and perf.data.
|
|
|
|
The differential profile is displayed only for events matching both
|
|
specified perf.data files.
|
|
|
|
If no parameters are passed the samples will be sorted by dso and symbol.
|
|
As the perf.data files could come from different binaries, the symbols addresses
|
|
could vary. So perf diff is based on the comparison of the files and
|
|
symbols name.
|
|
|
|

|
|
of the Baseline/Delta column. See --percentage for more info.

|
|
|
|
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
|

all occurrences of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
|
|
with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

|
|
|
|
-c::
|
|
--compute::
|
|
Differential computation selection - delta, ratio, wdiff, delta-abs
|
|
(default is delta-abs). Default can be changed using diff.compute
|
|
config option. See COMPARISON METHODS section for more info.

--formula::
|
|
Show formula for given computation.
|
|
|
|
-o::
|
|
--order::
|
|
Specify compute sorting column number. 0 means sorting by baseline
|
|
overhead and 1 (default) means sorting by computed value of column 1
|
|
(data from the first file other base baseline). Values more than 1
|
|
can be used only if enough data files are provided.
|
|
The default value can be set using the diff.order config option.
|
|
|
|
--percentage::
|
|
Determine how to display the overhead percentage of filtered entries.
|
|
Filters can be applied by --comms, --dsos and/or --symbols options.
|
|
|
|
"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
|
|
sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains
|
|
the original value before and after the filter is applied.
|
|
|
|
COMPARISON
|
|
----------
|
|
The comparison is governed by the baseline file. The baseline perf.data
|
|
file is iterated for samples. All other perf.data files specified on
|
|
the command line are searched for the baseline sample pair. If the pair
|
|
is found, specified computation is made and result is displayed.
|
|
|
|
All samples from non-baseline perf.data files, that do not match any
|
|
baseline entry, are displayed with empty space within baseline column
|
|
and possible computation results (delta) in their related column.
|
|
|
|
Example files samples:
|
|
- file A with samples f1, f2, f3, f4, f6
|
|
- file B with samples f2, f4, f5
|
|
- file C with samples f1, f2, f5
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
x - computation takes place for pair
|
|
b - baseline sample percentage
|
|
|
|
- perf diff A B C

COMPARISON METHODS
|
|
------------------
|
|
delta
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
If specified the 'Delta' column is displayed with value 'd' computed as:
|
|
|
|
d = A->period_percent - B->period_percent
|
|
|
|
with:
|
|
- A/B being matching hist entry from data/baseline file specified
|
|
(or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
|
|
|
|
- period_percent being the % of the hist entry period value within
|
|
single data file
|
|
|
|
- with filtering by -C, -d and/or -S, period_percent might be changed
|
|
relative to how entries are filtered. Use --percentage=absolute to
|
|
prevent such fluctuation.
|
|
|
|
delta-abs
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Same as 'delta` method, but sort the result with the absolute values.
|
|
|
|
ratio
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
If specified the 'Ratio' column is displayed with value 'r' computed as:
|
|
|
|
r = A->period / B->period
|
|
|
|
with:
|
|
- A/B being matching hist entry from data/baseline file specified
|
|
(or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
|
|
|
|
- period being the hist entry period value
|
|
|
|
wdiff:WEIGHT-B,WEIGHT-A
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If specified the 'Weighted diff' column is displayed with value 'd' computed as:
|
|
|
|
d = B->period * WEIGHT-A - A->period * WEIGHT-B
|
|
|
|
- A/B being matching hist entry from data/baseline file specified
|
|
(or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
|
|
|
|
- period being the hist entry period value
|
|
|
|
- WEIGHT-A/WEIGHT-B being user supplied weights in the the '-c' option
|
|
behind ':' separator like '-c wdiff:1,2'.
|
|
- WEIGHT-A being the weight of the data file
|
|
- WEIGHT-B being the weight of the baseline data file
|
