perf tools: Rename struct perf_data_file to perf_data

2017-10-30T16:36:09Z

Rename struct perf_data_file to perf_data, because we will add the possibility to have multiple files under perf.data, so the 'perf_data' name fits better.

perf auxtrace: Add CPU filter support

2017-06-30T14:50:55Z

Decoding auxtrace data can take a long time. To avoid decoding unnecessarily, filter auxtrace data that is collected per-cpu before it is decoded.

perf auxtrace: Fix no_size logic in addr_filter__resolve_kernel_syms()

2017-03-27T14:58:08Z

Address filtering with kernel symbols incorrectly resulted in the error "Cannot determine size of symbol" because the no_size logic was the wrong way around.

perf record: Add support for using symbols in address filters

Symbols come from either the DSO or /proc/kallsyms for the kernel. Details of the functionality can be found in Documentation/perf-record.txt.

perf tools: Add coresight etm PMU record capabilities

2016-09-22T15:19:40Z

Coresight ETMs are IP blocks used to perform HW assisted tracing on a CPU core. This patch introduce the required auxiliary API functions allowing the perf core to interact with a tracer.

perf tools: Add support for skipping itrace instructions

2016-03-30T14:14:09Z

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to ignore the initialization code at the beginning. On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data. This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n' events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This is much more efficient. v2: Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter) Document in itrace.txt Fix branch check Check transactions and instructions too Committer note: To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e. stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160301234953.GD23621@tassilo.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1459187142-20035-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
