perf evsel: Fix missing increment in sample parsing

2013-07-08T20:47:13Z

The final sample format bit used to be PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER which neglected to do a final increment of the array pointer. The result is that the following parsing might start at the wrong place.

perf evsel: Fix count parameter to read call in event_format__new

perf evsel: Fix printing of perf_event_paranoid message

perf record: Add support for mem access profiling

2013-04-01T15:20:28Z

We use the -W option to obtain the cost of the memory accesses. Data address sampling is obtained via the -d option.

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 stat: Introduce --repeat forever

2013-03-15T17:01:26Z

The following patch causes 'perf stat --repeat 0' to be interpreted as 'forever', displaying the stats for every run. We act as if a single run was asked, and reset the stats in each iteration. In this mode SIGINT is passed to perf to be able to stop the loop with Ctrl+C.

perf evsel: Cleanup perf_evsel__exit()

perf tools: Introduce tools/lib/lk library

2013-03-15T16:06:00Z

This introduces the tools/lib/lk library, that will gradually have the routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can be shared. Start by carving out debugfs routines for general use.
