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 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 support to new style format of kernel PMU event

2014-10-15T19:05:45Z

Add new rules for kernel PMU event. Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as "a-b" and "a". event_pmu: PE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT sep_dc | PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE '-' PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF sep_dc PE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT token is for cycles-ct/cycles-t/mem-loads/mem-stores. The prefix cycles is mixed up with cpu-cycles. loads and stores are mixed up with cache event So they have to be hardcode in lex. PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE and PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF tokens are for other PMU events. The lex looks generic identifier up in the table and return the matched token. If there is no match, generic PE_NAME token will be return. Using the rules, kernel PMU event could use new style format without // so you can use: perf record -e mem-loads ... instead of: perf record -e cpu/mem-loads/ Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1412694532-23391-4-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Move start conditions to start of the flex file

2013-10-11T15:17:31Z

Moving start conditions to start of the flex file so it's clear what the INITIAL condition rules are. Plus adding default rule for INITIAL condition. This prevents default space to be printed for events like: $ ./perf stat -e "cycles " kill 2>/dev/null $ ^^^^^^^^ Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1380299398-10839-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add support for pinned modifier

2013-08-07T20:35:40Z

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU. The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in future to mean "fully precise". So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you. This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for instructions per cycle. Comparison of results with and without pinning: $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,... 79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz 166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn 79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%] 165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%] As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy. The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a group.

perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value

2013-08-07T20:35:22Z

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period value offered by lower layers. There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...

perf tools: Add basic event modifier sanity check

Updating event parser to allow any non zero string containing [ukhpGH] characters for event modifier. The modifier sanity is checked later in parse-event object logic. The check validates modifier to contain only one instance of any modifier (apart from 'p') present. v2: - added length check suggested Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121113143258.GA2481@krava.brq.redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.
