perf tools: Add mem access sampling core support

2013-04-01T15:20:13Z

This patch adds the sorting and histogram support functions to enable profiling of memory accesses. The following sorting orders are added: - symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address) - dso_daddr: data address shared object - locked: access uses locked transaction - tlb : TLB access - mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...) - snoop: access snoop mode 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/1359040242-8269-12-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ committer note: changed to cope with fc5871ed, the move of methods to machine.[ch], and the rename of dsrc to data_src, to match the change made in the PERF_SAMPLE_DSRC in a previous patch. ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)

2013-04-01T15:19:43Z

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

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 tools: fix ALIGN redefinition in system headers

2012-09-11T14:48:30Z

On some systems (e.g. Android), ALIGN is defined in system headers as ALIGN(p). The definition of ALIGN used in perf takes 2 parameters: ALIGN(x,a). This leads to redefinition conflicts. Redefinition error on Android: In file included from util/include/linux/list.h:1:0, from util/callchain.h:5, from util/hist.h:6, from util/session.h:4, from util/build-id.h:4, from util/annotate.c:11: util/include/linux/kernel.h:11:0: error: "ALIGN" redefined [-Werror] bionic/libc/include/sys/param.h:38:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition Conflics with system defined ALIGN in Android: util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_comm': util/event.c:115:32: error: macro "ALIGN" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1 util/event.c:115:9: error: 'ALIGN' undeclared (first use in this function) util/event.c:115:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in In order to avoid this redefinition, ALIGN is renamed to PERF_ALIGN.

perf tools: Support user regs and stack in sample parsing

2012-08-10T19:47:02Z

Adding following info to be parsed out of the event sample: - user register set - user stack dump Both are global and specific to all events within the session. This info will be used in the unwind patches coming in shortly. Adding simple output printout (report -D) for both register and stack dumps.
