perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions

2015-04-08T13:06:28Z

Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete implementations of printing perf_event_attr. This is quite silly. Merge the lot. While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I found is debug output and thus it should not be critical. Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

perf record: Add clockid parameter

2015-04-08T13:04:55Z

Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid} fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for the events to be recorded into the data file. Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we also already store the used clockid in the data file. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: David Ahern Cc: "H.

perf record: Support recording running/enabled time

2015-02-25T15:42:23Z

Add an option to perf record to record running/enabled time for read events, similar to what stat does. This is useful to understand multiplexing problems. Right now the report support is not great, but at least report -D already supports it.

perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support

2015-02-18T16:16:17Z

Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf. Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call stack support on the tooling side. LBR call stack has some limitations: - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. However, it also offers some advantages: - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing else works.

perf evsel: Set attr.task bit for a tracking event

2015-01-29T19:54:59Z

The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config(). While it was not a problem in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway. The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events. So setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task events anyway. So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are off but I'd like to set it for completeness.
