perf tools: Add 'I' event modifier for exclude_idle bit

2015-04-08T14:00:16Z

Adding 'I' event modifier to have complete set of modifiers for perf_event_attr:exclude_* bits. Any event specified with 'I' modifier will have the perf_event_attr:exclude_idle bit set. $ perf record -e cycles:I -vv ls 2>&1 | grep exclude_idle exclude_hv 0 exclude_idle 1 Adding automated tests.

perf list: Clean up the printing functions of hardware/software events

2015-02-27T18:52:18Z

Do not need print_events_type or __print_events_type for listing hw/sw events, let print_symbol_events do its job instead. Moreover, print_symbol_events can also handle event_glob and name_only.

perf list: Sort the output of 'perf list' to view more clearly

2015-02-27T18:51:44Z

Sort the output according to ASCII character list (using strcmp), which supports both number sequence and alphabet sequence. Example: Before this patch: $ perf list List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] ... ... jbd2:jbd2_start_commit [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_run_stats [Tracepoint event] block:block_rq_issue [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_getrq [Tracepoint event] ... ... After this patch: $ perf list List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] ... ... block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_getrq [Tracepoint event] block:block_rq_issue [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_run_stats [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_start_commit [Tracepoint event] ... ...

perf list: Place the header text in its right position

2015-02-13T14:57:50Z

The hearer text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g. 'perf list hw' shows no guiding text at all, and 'perf list hw L1-dcache*' shows the guiding text incorrectly in the middle of the output. Example Before this patch: $ perf list hw L1-dcache* branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event] List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): <-- incorrect position L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event] After this patch: $ perf list hw L1-dcache* List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): <-- correct position branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event] L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event] Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1423833115-11199-8-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Do not check debugfs MAGIC for tracing files

2015-02-07T12:51:30Z

It's rather strange to be checking the debugfs MAGIC number for the tracing directory. A system admin may want to have a custom set of events to trace and it should be allowed to let the admin make a temp file (even for tracing virtual boxes, this is useful). Also with the coming tracefs, the files may not even be under debugfs, so checking the debugfs MAGIC number is pointless.

perf tools: allow user to specify hardware breakpoint bp_len

2014-12-03T14:14:29Z

Currently bp_len is given a default value of 4. Allow user to override it: $ perf stat -e mem:0x1000/8 ^ bp_len If no value is given, it will default to 4 as it did before.

perf tools: Add snapshot format file parsing

2014-11-24T21:03:51Z

The .snapshot file indicates that the provided event value is a snapshot value and we have to bypass the delta computation logic. Adding support to check up this file and set event flag accordingly.

perf tools: Add per-pkg format file parsing

2014-11-24T21:03:51Z

The .per-pkg file indicates that all but one value per socket should be discarded. Adding support to check up this file and set event flag accordingly. This patch is part of Matt's original patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141527675002139&w=2 only the file parsing part, the rest is solved differently.
