perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

2015-08-21T14:34:10Z

Intel BTS support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording is supporting by identifying the Intel BTS PMU, parsing options and setting up events. Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by thread and then decoding synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the session processing for tools to consume.

perf tools: Take Intel PT into use

2015-08-17T14:11:37Z

To record an AUX area, the weak function auxtrace_record__init() must be implemented. Equally to decode an AUX area, the AUX area tracing type must be added to the perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function. This patch makes those two changes plus hooks up default config for the intel_pt PMU. Also some brief documentation is provided for using the tools with intel_pt. Commiter note: E.g: [root@perf4 ~]# dmesg 451 [0.405807] Performance Events: PEBS fmt2+, 16-deep LBR, Broadwell events, full-width counters, Intel PMU driver.

perf callchain: Per-event type selection support

2015-08-12T16:20:27Z

This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the perf.data. Here is an example. perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1 perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1439289050-40510-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf record: Support per-event freq term

2015-08-10T20:20:26Z

Now perf can set per-event value of time and (sampling) period. But I guess most users like me just want to set frequency rather than period. So add the 'freq' term in the event parser.

perf tools: Validate config term maximum value

2015-08-06T19:49:28Z

Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other criteria later on i.e. the user provides an invalid value that gets truncated to a valid one. The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

perf tools: Add perf_pmu__format_bits()

2015-08-06T19:49:01Z

Add perf_pmu__format_bits() to get the format bits for a PMU config term. Intel PT will use this to validate terms and to record format bits to enable later interpreting the config from the attribute stored in the perf.data file.

perf tools: Per-event time support

2015-08-05T15:50:52Z

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

perf pmu: Split perf_pmu__new_alias()

2015-06-23T21:21:30Z

Separate the event parsing code in perf_pmu__new_alias() out into a separate function __perf_pmu__new_alias() so that code can be called indepdently. This is based on an earlier patch from Andi Kleen.

perf tools: Remove newline char when reading event scale and unit

2015-06-01T13:26:19Z

The commit intruduced the perf_event_sysfs_show function to display the event_str value of an attr in kernel/event/core.c. But the function returns the value with a newline char. So, if a event also carries a event.unit file, when printing the counter data perf tool formatting goes for a spin. That is, because of the event unit, event name is printed in the newline because of perf_event_sysfs_show returns with a newline char. Now fixing perf core will break API, hencing proposing a fix in the perf tool.
