perf mmap: Move perf_mmap and methods to separate mmap.[ch] files

2017-10-23T14:20:53Z

To better organize the sources, and we may end up even using it directly, without evlists and evsels. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-oiqrm7grflurnnzo2ovfnslg@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Provide mutex wrappers for pthreads rwlocks

2017-09-21T16:28:06Z

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as 'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not. I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to single threaded mode in 'perf top'. The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf stat

2017-09-13T12:49:13Z

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't have an event name. We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a short cut to select several related metrics at once. Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or metric groups specified. Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request. % perf stat -M Summary --metric-only -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': Instructions CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization 317614222.0 1392930775.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.1 1.001497549 seconds time elapsed % perf stat -M GFLOPs flops Performance counter stats for 'flops': 3,999,541,471 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_single # 1.2 GFLOPs (66.65%) 14 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_double (66.65%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_double (66.67%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_single (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_double (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_single (66.67%) 0 duration_time 3.238372845 seconds time elapsed v2: Add missing header file v3: Move find_map to pmu.c Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831194036.30146-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add utility function to detect SMT status

2017-08-22T15:09:04Z

Add an smt_on() function to return if SMT is enabled or disabled. Used in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170811232634.30465-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf util: Create branch.c/.h for common branch functions

2017-07-19T02:14:40Z

Create new util/branch.c and util/branch.h to contain the common branch functions. Such as: branch_type_count(): Count the numbers of branch types branch_type_name() : Return the name of branch type branch_type_stat_display(): Display branch type statistics info branch_type_str(): Construct the branch type string. The branch type is saved in branch_flags. Change log: v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN. v7: Since the common branch type name is changed (e.g. JCC->COND), this patch is performed the modification accordingly. v6: Move that multiline conditional code inside {} brackets. Move branch_type_stat_display() from builtin-report.c to branch.c. Move branch_type_str() from callchain.c to branch.c. v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.

tools build: Add test for setns()

2017-07-19T02:14:08Z

And provide an alternative implementation to keep perf building on older distros as we're about to add initial support for namespaces.

perf tools: Remove support for command aliases
