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 tools: Make perf aware of tracefs

2015-02-11T15:37:08Z

As tracefs may be mounted instead of debugfs to get to the event directories, have perf know about tracefs, and use that file system over debugfs if it is present.

Merge branch 'perf/hw_breakpoints' into perf/core

2015-01-28T14:48:59Z

The new hw_breakpoint bits are now ready for v3.20, merge them into the main branch, to avoid conflicts. Conflicts: tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Support parsing parameterized events

2015-01-21T16:24:32Z

Enable event specification like: pmu/event_name,param1=0x1,param2=0x4/ Assuming that /sys/bus/event_source/devices/pmu/events/event_name Contains something like param2=?,bar=1,param1=?

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: Parse the pmu event prefix and suffix

2014-10-15T19:05:01Z

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style format as two events. The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events. The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime. Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as "a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and "stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

tools: Consolidate types.h

perf parse events: Demystify memory allocations

2013-07-12T16:52:05Z

List heads are currently allocated way down the function chain in __add_event and add_tracepoint and then freed when the scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists. Be more explicit with where memory is allocated and who should free it. With this patch the list_head is allocated in the scanner code and freed when the scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists.

perf util: Use evsel->name to get tracepoint_paths

2013-07-12T16:46:02Z

Most tracepoint events already have their system and event name in ->name field so that searching whole event tracing directory for each evsel to match given id is suboptimal. Factor out this routine into tracepoint_name_to_path(). In case of en invalid name, it'll try to find path using id again.

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.
