perf tool: Add the perf_tool argument to all callbacks

2025-11-07T21:25:05Z

Getting context for what a tool is doing, such as the perf_inject instance, using container_of the tool is a common pattern in the code. This isn't possible event_op2, event_op3 and event_op4 callbacks as the tool isn't passed. Add the argument and then fix function signatures to match. As tools maybe reading a tool from somewhere else, change that code to use the passed in tool. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf evlist: Print hint for group

2024-09-11T16:08:45Z

An event group is a critical relationship. There is a -g option that can display the relationship. But it's hard for a user to know when should this option be applied. If there is an event group in the perf record, print a hint to suggest the user apply the -g to display the group information. With the patch, $ perf record -e "{cycles,instructions},instructions" sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.024 MB perf.data (4 samples) ] $ $ perf evlist cycles instructions instructions # Tip: use 'perf evlist -g' to show group information $ perf evlist -g {cycles,instructions} instructions $ Committer testing: So for a perf.data file _with_ a group: root@number:~# perf evlist -g {cpu_core/branch-instructions/pp,cpu_core/branches/} dummy:u root@number:~# perf evlist cpu_core/branch-instructions/pp cpu_core/branches/ dummy:u # Tip: use 'perf evlist -g' to show group information root@number:~# Then for something _without_ a group, no hint: root@number:~# perf record ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.035 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] root@number:~# perf evlist cpu_atom/cycles/P cpu_core/cycles/P dummy:u root@number:~# No suggestion, good.

perf evlist: Use perf_tool__init()

2024-08-12T21:08:35Z

Use perf_tool__init() so that more uses of 'struct perf_tool' can be const and not relying on perf_tool__fill_defaults().

perf util: Move input_name to util

2023-04-10T22:21:31Z

'input_name' is the name of the input perf.data file, it is used by data convert and ui code. Move it to util to make it more consistent with other global state.

perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()

2021-08-02T13:06:51Z

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others passes 'false'. Let's remove it from the function signature and add __perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly. This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.

perf evlist: Support pipe mode display

2020-12-17T17:36:17Z

Likewise, perf evlist command should print event attributes by reading PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR records.

perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h

2019-09-25T19:26:34Z

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can reduce evsel.h a bit more. We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure

2019-09-20T18:58:11Z

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on failure instead of NULL. Test Results: Before Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 0 $ After Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 254 $ Committer notes: Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(..., session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure, but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.
