perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command

2021-01-20T17:34:21Z

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events. When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf record terminal. The interface string for control file is: evlist [-v|-g|-F] The syntax follows perf evlist command: -F Show just the sample frequency used for each event. -v Show all fields. -g Show event group information. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}' terminal 2: # echo evlist > control terminal 1: cycles instructions dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -v' > control terminal 1: cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: \ IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, \ comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \ bpf_event: 1 terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -g' > control terminal 1: {cycles,instructions} dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -F' > control terminal 1: cycles: sample_freq=4000 instructions: sample_freq=4000 dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000 This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when wildcards are used. Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because it's now evlist.c dependency. Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c object.

perf evsel: Rename perf_evselfprintf() to evselfprintf()

2020-05-28T13:03:24Z

As it is a 'struct evsel' method, not part of tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Rename perf_evsel__is_() to evsel__is()

2020-05-05T19:35:31Z

As those are 'struct evsel' methods, not part of tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Rename perf_evselname() to evselname()

perf callchain: Use 'struct map_symbol' in 'struct callchain_cursor_node'

2019-11-12T11:20:53Z

To ease passing around map+symbol, just like done for other parts of the tree recently. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h

2019-09-25T19:26:34Z

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can reduce evsel.h a bit more. We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

perf evsel: Remove need for symbol_conf in evsel_fprintf.c

2019-09-25T18:06:59Z

So that we an later link it to the python binding without having to drag the symbol object files. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-8823tveyasocnuoelq4qopwf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf callchain: Remove needless event.h include

2019-09-20T12:19:21Z

All we need is a bunch of struct forward declarations and then add event.h to the only place that was getting it indirectly via callchain.h.

libperf: Move perf_event_attr field from perf's evsel to libperf's perf_evsel

2019-07-29T21:34:45Z

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'. Committer notes: Fixed up these: tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c tools/perf/arch/s390/util/auxtrace.c tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c Also cc1: warnings being treated as errors tests/sample-parsing.c: In function 'do_test': tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: missing initializer tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: (near initialization for 'evsel.core.cpus') struct evsel evsel = { .needs_swap = false, - .core.attr = { - .sample_type = sample_type, - .read_format = read_format, + .core = { + . attr = { + .sample_type = sample_type, + .read_format = read_format, + }, [perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1 gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.
