perf record: Implement COMPRESSED event record and its attributes

2019-05-15T19:36:49Z

Implemented PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED event, related data types, header feature and functions to write, read and print feature attributes from the trace header section. comp_mmap_len preserves the size of mmaped kernel buffer that was used during collection. comp_mmap_len size is used on loading stage as the size of decomp buffer for decompression of COMPRESSED events content. Committer notes: Fixed up conflict with BPF_PROG_INFO and BTF_BTF header features.

perf bpf: Save BTF information as headers to perf.data

2019-03-19T19:52:07Z

This patch enables 'perf record' to save BTF information as headers to perf.data. A new header type HEADER_BPF_BTF is introduced for this data.

perf header: Add DIR_FORMAT feature to describe directory data

2019-03-11T14:56:03Z

The data files layout is described by HEADER_DIR_FORMAT feature. Currently it holds only version number (1): uint64_t version; The current version holds only version value (1) means that data files: - Follow the 'data.*' name format. - Contain raw events data in standard perf format as read from kernel (and need to be sorted) Future versions are expected to describe different data files layout according to special needs.

perf tools: Fix the build on the alpine:edge distro

2018-07-30T16:15:03Z

The UAPI file byteorder/little_endian.h uses the __always_inline define without including the header where it is defined, linux/stddef.h, this ends up working in all the other distros because that file gets included seemingly by luck from one of the files included from little_endian.h. But not on Alpine:edge, that fails for all files where perf_event.h is included but linux/stddef.h isn't include before that. Adding the missing linux/stddef.h file where it breaks on Alpine:edge to fix that, in all other distros, that is just a very small header anyway.

The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows: 0 - version | for future changes 8 - block_size_bytes | /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes 16 - count | number of nodes For each node we store map of physical indexes for each node: 32 - node id | node index 40 - size | size of bitmap 48 - bitmap | bitmap of memory indexes that belongs to node | /sys/devices/system/node/node/memory The MEM_TOPOLOGY could be displayed with following report command: $ perf report --header-only -I ... # memory nodes (nr 1, block size 0x8000000): # 0 [7G]: 0-23,32-69 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180307155020.32613-8-jolsa@kernel.org [ Rename 'index' to 'idx', as this breaks the build in rhel5, 6 and other systems where this is used by glibc headers ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf cpuid: Introduce a platform specific cpuid compare function

2018-02-16T18:16:57Z

The function get_cpuid_str() is called by perf_pmu__getcpuid() and on s390 returns a complete description of the CPU and its capabilities, which is a comma separated list. To map the CPU type with the value defined in the pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.csv, introduce an architecture specific cpuid compare function named strcmp_cpuid_str() The currently used regex algorithm is defined as the weak default and will be used if no platform specific one is defined. This matches the current behavior.
