perf inject: Merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch events

2012-10-26T13:22:25Z

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. I use the next sequence of commands for testing: perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \ ~/test-program perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data 100.00% foo [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule | --- __schedule schedule | |--79.75%-- schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock | schedule_hrtimeout_range | poll_schedule_timeout | do_select | core_sys_select | sys_select | system_call_fastpath | __select | __libc_start_main | --20.25%-- do_nanosleep hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep system_call_fastpath __GI___libc_nanosleep __libc_start_main And here is test-program.c: #include #include #include int main() { struct timespec ts1; struct timeval tv1; int i; long s; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ts1.tv_sec = 0; ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000; nanosleep(&ts1, NULL); tv1.tv_sec = 0; tv1.tv_usec = 40000; select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1); } return 1; } Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344344165-369636-4-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org [ committer note: Made it use evsel->handler ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf inject: Work with files

2012-10-26T13:22:24Z

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

perf event: No need to create a thread when handling PERF_RECORD_EXIT

2012-10-06T19:33:45Z

When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent, only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and to just delete it. If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no references at all. Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we don't create it. As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point. Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by this patch.

perf inject: Don't use globals where not needed to

2012-10-02T21:36:41Z

Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to where it belongs. Leftover from patch at the beggining of this series.

perf inject: Remove static variables

2012-10-02T21:36:27Z

We want to reduce the impact that each of the builtins has on perf as a whole, so use the superclassing of perf_tool mechanizm to move its config knobs to the stack, so that only if we use that tool, its impact will be felt. In this case is more about consistency, as the impact of this tool is minimal.

perf inject: Remove unused 'input_name' static var

2012-10-02T21:36:26Z

If we ever want to allow inject to work with something other than stdin, we can put it back, but so far it is completely unused, so ditch it.

perf tools: Convert to LIBELF_SUPPORT

2012-09-29T00:07:36Z

For building perf without libelf, we can set NO_LIBELF=1 as a argument of make. It then defines NO_LIBELF_SUPPORT macro for C code to do the proper handling. However it usually used in a negative semantics - e.g. #ifndef - so we saw double negations which can be misleading. Convert it to a positive form to make it more readable.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

perf symbols: Support minimal build without libelf

2012-08-09T19:26:38Z

Now we have isolated all ELF-specific stuff, it's possible to build without libelf. The output binary can do most of jobs but lacks (user level) symbol information - kernel symbols are still accessable thanks to the kallsyms. To build perf without libelf (elfutils), give NO_LIBELF=1 to make. For now, only 'perf probe' command is removed since it depends on libelf/libdw heavily.
