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: Introduce perf_evsel__is_group_event() helper

2013-03-15T16:06:05Z

The perf_evsel__is_group_event function is for checking whether given evsel needs event group view support or not. Please note that it's different to the existing perf_evsel__is_group_leader() which checks only the given evsel is a leader or a standalone (i.e. non-group) event regardless of event group feature.

perf evlist: Pass the event_group info via perf_attr_details

2013-02-06T21:09:28Z

So that we avoid dragging symbol.o into the python binding.

perf report: Show group description when event group is enabled

2013-01-31T16:07:48Z

When using event group viewer, it's better to show the group description rather than the leader information alone. If a leader did not contain any member, it's a non-group event.

perf hists: Resort hist entries using group members for output

2013-01-31T16:07:45Z

When event group is enabled, sorting hist entries on periods for output should consider groups members' period also. To do that, build period table using link/pair information and compare the table.

perf tools: Keep group information

2013-01-31T16:07:43Z

Add a few of group-related field in struct perf_{evlist,evsel} so that the group information in a evlist can be known easily. It only counts groups which have more than 1 members since leader-only groups are treated as non-group events.

perf evsel: Fix memory leaks on evsel->counts

2013-01-30T13:37:04Z

The ->counts field was never freed in the current code. Add perf_evsel__free_counts() function to free it properly.

perf evsel: Add prev_raw_count field

2013-01-30T13:36:38Z

This field will be used by commands which print counter deltas on regular timer intervals, such as perf stat -I.

perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__open_strerror method

2013-01-24T19:40:09Z

That consolidates the error messages in 'record', 'stat' and 'top', that now get a consistent set of messages and allow other tools to use the new method to report problems using whatever UI toolkit.

perf evsel: Introduce event fallback method

2013-01-24T19:40:08Z

The only fallback right now is for HW cpu-cycles -> SW cpu-clock, that was done in the same way in both 'top' and 'record'.
