Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at
least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts
recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second
will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording

timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system.
The user makes a trace of what is going on with
> perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command
and then can turn the output of this into an svg file
> perf timechart
which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well
enough for me.
The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable"
picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom
level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a
specific area.

compile. In order for perf.data to be useable outside the actual

functions for lookup up fields from this table.
To avoid mistakes, lookup-from-table is kept completely seprate

- separate it out from group_fd
- correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
are multiplexed
- modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
counters.
- remove the -g option from perf sched record
- account for unordered events in perf sched latency
- (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)
- skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output

Currently it's possible to meet such too high latency results
with 'perf sched latency'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Task | Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xfce4-panel | 0.222 ms | 2 | avg: 4718.345 ms | max: 9436.493 ms |
scsi_eh_3 | 3.962 ms | 36 | avg: 55.957 ms | max: 1977.829 ms |
The origin is on traces that are sometimes badly serialized across cpus.
For example the raw traces that raised such results for xfce4-panel:
(1) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(2) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(3) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
The traces are processed in the order they arrive. Then in (2),
xfce4-panel sleeps, it is first waken up in (3) and eventually
scheduled in (5).
The latency reported is then 1504 - 1495 = 9 secs, as reported by perf
sched. But this is wrong, we are confident in the fact the traces are
nicely serialized while we should actually more trust the timestamps.
If we reorder by timestamps we get:
(1) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(2) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(3) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
Now the trace make more sense, xfce4-panel is sleeping. Then it is
woken up in (1), scheduled in (2)
It goes to sleep in (3), woken up in (4) and scheduled in (5).
Now, latency captured between (1) and (2) is of 39 us.
And between (4) and (5) it is 2.1 ms.
Such pattern of bad serializing is the origin of the high latencies
reported by perf sched.
Basically, we need to check whether wake up time is higher than
schedule out time. If it's not the case, we need to tag the current
work atom as invalid.
Beside that, we may need to work later on a better ordering of the
traces given by the kernel.

Add an option to multiplex counters output in the channel of
the group leader, ie: the first counter opened:
-M --multiplex
The effect is better serialized samples. This is especially
useful for tracepoint samples that need to be well serialized
for their post-processing.
Also make use of this option in 'perf sched'.

Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand that adds a
default list of events, turns on raw sampling and system-wide
tracing and passes off the rest of the command to perf record.
This is more convenient than having to specify the events all
the time.
Before:
$ perf record -a -R -e sched:sched_switch:r -e sched:sched_stat_wait:r -e sched:sched_stat_sleep:r -e sched:sched_stat_iowait:r -e sched:sched_process_exit:r -e sched:sched_process_fork:r -e sched:sched_wakeup:r -e sched:sched_migrate_task:r -c 1 sleep 1
After:
$ perf sched record -f sleep 1
Also fix an assumption in the event string parser that assumed
that strings passed in can be modified. (In this case they wont
be as they come from a readonly constant section.)

To measures the latencies, we capture the sched atoms data into
a specific structure named struct lat_snapshot.
As this structure can be used for other purposes of scheduler
profiling and mirrors what happens in a thread work atom, lets
rename it to struct work_atom and propagate this renaming in
other functions and structures names to keep it coherent.

perf sched raises the following error when it meets a sched
switch event:
perf: builtin-sched.c:286: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed.
Abandon
Currently in x86-64, the sched switch events have a hole in the
middle of the structure:
u16 common_type;
u8 common_flags;
u8 common_preempt_count;
u32 common_pid;
u32 common_tgid;
char prev_comm[16];
u32 prev_pid;
u32 prev_prio;
<--- there
u64 prev_state;
char next_comm[16];
u32 next_pid;
u32 next_prio;
Gcc inserts a 4 bytes hole there for prev_state to be u64
aligned. And the events are exported to userspace with this
hole.
But in userspace, from perf sched, we fetch it using a
structure that has a new field in the beginning: u32 size. This
is because our trace is exported with its size as a field. But
now that we have this new field, the hole in the middle
disappears because it makes prev_state becoming well aligned.
And since we are using a pointer to the raw trace using this
struct, instead of reading prev_state, we are reading the hole.
We could fix it by keeping the size seperate from the struct
but actually there a lot of other potential problems: some
fields may be saved as long in a 64 bits system and later read
as long in a 32 bits system. Also this direct cast doesn't care
about the endianness differences between the host traced
machine and the machine in which we do the post processing.
So instead of using such dangerous direct casts, fetch the
values using the trace parsing API that already takes care of
all these problems.

The current noise computation does:

Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the
complete sample set available to post-process.
Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be
done by keeping a two sums:
stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 )
For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

In perf tools, we hardcode the pid 0 cmdline resolving to
"idle" because the init task is not included in the COMM
events.
But the idle tasks secondary cpus are resolved into their
"init" name through the COMM events.
We have then such strange result in perf report (ditto with
trace):
19.66% init [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1
17.32% [idle] [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1
It's then better to unify the swapper tasks into a single init
name.

The cmd-trace tool used the cmdline file and resolved the idle
thread using a hardcoded check for the 0 task pid.
Now we have a centralized way to do that from perf using
register_idle_thread() API.

The librarization of the thread helpers between annotate and

thread__insert_map() had its most uptodate version in perf
report which cared about partial map overlapping. In case of
overlap between two maps, perf annotate's version removes the
whole old map without considering if it partially or
absolutely overlaps the new map.
We exported the odd version, change it by using the perf

The ftrace event format parser handles the usual casts but not
the cast to pointers. Such casts have been introduced recently
with the module trace events and raise the following parsing

This is because it considers the "*" character as a binary

You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two
fashions:
- using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW)
- using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name

perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with
the latter.

The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically
built formats.
But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the
following set: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k
-Wformat-nonliteral
-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because
they are not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature
dynamic formats. What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus
-Wformat-nonliteral, which is what this patch does.

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.
So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:
-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.
The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.
I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.
If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)
I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.
I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.
[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.
Say you launched:
perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
|
|--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll
| sysenter_dispatch
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0x1ffadea3c
|
|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats
recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.
I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references
4658 4659 495581 3238779
4658 4662 498246 3236823
4658 4663 499531 3243162
Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.
By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.
perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references
4658 4659 495581 3238779
4658 4662 498246 3236823

When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we
ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an
upper percentage than the filter threshold.
It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the
percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't
reach 100%.
Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that
showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user
that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to
100.00%.
So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been
filtered but without more detail than their amount in each

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now
we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported
this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g
once, no need to require it a second time.
So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by
default from perf report.
( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from
perf report. )

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.
This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file
2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file.
Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with
an error.
Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense,
since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such
files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors
for files with no data in it.

The callchain fractal mode builds each new total hits in a new
branch of profiling by using the parent's hits of the current
branch plus the hits of the children.
This is wrong, the total hits of a branch should be made of the
sum of every children hits, we must ignore the parent hits in
this scope.
This patch also fixes another mistake with the hit counting.
Now the rates are correct.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
.
. ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)

for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.
But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.
.... except when you want every sample to be exact.
Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.

The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute:
relative to the total overhead.
This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each
branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object.
This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each
sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent.
You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode
that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc...

The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node
plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage
computing of a branch.
Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.
But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.
Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

The default callchain parameters are set to use the flat mode and never
filter any overhead threshold of backtrace.
But flat mode is boring compared to graph mode.
Also the number of callchains may be very high if none is
filtered.
Let's change this to set the graph view and a minimum overhead of 0.5%
as default parameters.

If the user doesn't provide options to tune his callchain output
(ie: if he uses -c without arguments) then the default value passed
in the OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() macro is used.
But it's parsed later by strtok() which will replace comma separators
to a zero. This may segfault as we are using a read-only string.
Use a modifiable one instead, and also fix the "100%" default
minimum threshold value by turning it into a 0 (output every callchains)
as it was intended in the origin.

Rename ->prelinked to ->adjust_symbols and making what was done
only for prelinked libraries also to ET_EXEC binaries, such as
/usr/bin/git:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -h /usr/bin/git | grep Type
Type: EXEC (Executable file)
[acme@doppio pahole]$
And after installing the 'git-debuginfo' package, I get correct results:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol -d /usr/bin/git | head -20

I'll check what are the last cases where we can't resolve symbols, like
this 0x00000000095e2e later.
And I guess this will fix the problems Mike were seeing too:

Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the
common colored printing of percents according to the following
rules:
High overhead = > 5%, colored in red
Mid overhead = > 0.5%, colored in green
Low overhead = < 0.5%, default color
Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named
percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color()
for sites which print percentages and other things at the same
time.

Callchains output may become a burden on a trace because even
rarely hit site are exposed. This can be too much information.
Let the user set a threshold as a minimum percent of hits using
the new pattern for the -c option:
-c mode,min_percent
Example:
$ perf report -s sym -c flat,4
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
4.19%
copy_user_generic_string
generic_file_aio_read
do_sync_read
vfs_read
sys_pread64
system_call_fastpath
pread64
5.39% [k] search_by_key
4.63% 0x00000000009e0a
2.36% [k] memcpy_c
[...]
$ perf report -s sym -c graph,2

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
4.19%
copy_user_generic_string
generic_file_aio_read
do_sync_read
vfs_read
sys_pread64
system_call_fastpath
pread64
This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
|
|--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
| do_sync_read
| vfs_read
| |
| |--4.19%-- sys_pread64

The command line has then changed.
By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.
But you can override it:
perf report -c graph
or
perf report -c flat
You can also pass the abreviated mode:
perf report -c g
or
perf report -c gra
will both make use of the graph mode.

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have
a custom value or a default one if none is given.
This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which
defines such kind of option.
For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the
default value in the following cases:
perf command -c -d
perf command -d -c
And the foo value when it's given:
perf command -c foo -d
perf command -d -c foo
That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to
support default values whatever the position of the option, not
only in the end.
Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
are in the brothers field of the children.
This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
head:
---------------
| Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
--------------- |
| |
children |
| |
----------- ----------- |
| 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
----------- -----------
This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:
list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
// do something with children
}
Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
this pattern.
