Subject: [RFC 1/1] perf tools/kernel: Per event max-stack settings
Hi,
So I have the patch below + the kernel code to handle it, i.e. per-event
max-stack, in addition to the system wide kernel.perf_event_max_stack
knob.
Interested people should try my perf/max-stack branch, where the two
patches to implement this are at the top:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/log/?h=perf/max-stack
But people have expressed interested in being able to have kernel/user
separate max-stack knobs, which should be easy to do with the way things
are laid out now (that perf_callchain_entry_ctx thing).
One way would be to use a one bit flag sample_max_stack_split and then a
union to split perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack in two u16, that way we
wouldn't extend the perf_event_attr size, but then we wouldn't be able
to have both per event limits for the kernel+user stack and separate
max-stack limits for for kernel and user, is that an acceptable
limitation?
I couldn't find other members I could put in a union where to store the
sample_max_stack_{user,kernel} values, ideas?
I think that we should push what I have there anyway, the split would
come later, be it by using:
__u64 sample_max_stack_split:1;
__u64 __reserved_1:35;
<SNIP>
union {
__u32 sample_max_stack;
struct {
__u16 sample_max_stack_user;
__u16 sample_max_stack_kernel;
};
};
Or by having space for all three.

The tooling counterpart, now it is possible to do have some events using
"fp" stacks traces, while others use 'dwarf' or something else with all
of them having different max-stack settings, as needed:
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch/max-stack=10/ -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=4/ -e cpu-cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=1024/ usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (5 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v

cpu-cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=1024/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, exclude_callchain_user: 1, sample_regs_user: 0xff0fff, sample_stack_user: 8192, sample_max_stack: 1024
# Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.
