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: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms

2014-09-17T20:08:08Z

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form: pmu// which is effectively the same as: pmu/config=0/ This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU. Further explanation extracted from lkml thread: Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist. Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would not know how to decode them. Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'. It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot turn it on by default. It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by default. The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

tools: Consolidate types.h

2014-05-01T19:22:39Z

Combine all definitions into a common tools/include/linux/types.h and kill the wild growth elsewhere. Move DECLARE_BITMAP to its proper bitmap.h header.

perf tools: Parse tracepoints with '-' in system name

2014-04-29T12:27:23Z

Trace events potentially can have a '-' in their trace system name, e.g. kvm on s390 defines kvm-s390:* tracepoints. We could not parse them, because there was no rule for this: $ sudo ./perf top -e "kvm-s390:*" invalid or unsupported event: 'kvm-s390:*' This patch adds an extra rule to event_legacy_tracepoint which handles those cases. Without the patch, perf will not accept such tracepoints in the -e option.

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 tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older.

2013-02-14T19:12:34Z

The %name-prefix "prefix" syntax is not available on bison 2.3 and older. Substitute with the -p "prefix" command-line option for compatibility with older versions of bison. This patch fixes this build error with older versions of bison.

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.

perf tools: Fix usage of __ in event parsing struct names

2013-01-24T19:40:51Z

In tools/perf we use a convention where __ separates the struct name from the function name for functions that operate on a struct instance. Fix this usage by removing it from the struct names and fix also the associated functions.
