perf mem: Allow all record/report options

2018-04-18T18:35:48Z

For perf mem report / perf mem record, pass all unknown options through to the underlying report/record commands. This makes things like perf mem record -a sleep 1 work. Matches how c2c and other tools work. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180406203812.3087-2-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf mem: Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneously

2015-01-21T16:24:31Z

This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this patch, one run is sufficient to collect both. It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the -t option: $ perf mem -t load rec $ perf mem -t load rep Or $ perf mem -t store rec $ perf mem -t store rep The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will contain a Weight column which will be empty. In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as per LKML feedback. In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.

perf mem: Clarify load-latency in documentation

2014-03-14T14:20:44Z

Clarify in the documentation that 'perf mem report' reports use-latency, not load/store-latency on Intel systems. This often causes confusion with users.

perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profiling

2013-04-01T15:21:44Z

This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec ..... To record stores: $ perf mem -t store rec ..... To get the report: $ perf mem -t load rep Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359040242-8269-15-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ Fixed minor conflict with 66857b5 "Sort command-list.txt alphabetically" ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
