perf tools: Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/tips.txt

2016-01-12T15:42:08Z

Some people don't install perf, but just use compiled version in the source. Fallback to lookup the source directory for those poor guys. :) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452334589-8782-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org [ Make perf_tip() return NULL for ENOENT, making the fallback to really take place ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line

2016-01-08T16:15:46Z

Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if the sort keys were used). Add more help tips and show randomly.

perf report/top: Add --raw-trace option

2016-01-06T23:11:12Z

The --raw-trace option allows disabling pretty printing by the event's print_fmt or plugin. Besides that, each dynamic sort key now can receive a 'raw' suffix separated by '/' to ask for the raw trace of a specific field. $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... ................... # 99.89% perf GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO 0.06% sleep GFP_KERNEL 0.03% perf GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO 0.01% perf GFP_KERNEL Now $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags --raw-trace or $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags/raw ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... .......... # 99.89% perf 32848 0.06% sleep 208 0.03% perf 32976 0.01% perf 208 Suggested-and-Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1450804030-29193-9-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Pass evlist to setup_sorting()

2016-01-06T23:11:11Z

This is a preparation to support dynamic sort keys for tracepoint events. Dynamic sort keys can be created for specific fields in trace events so it needs the event information.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14Z

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named libsubcmd.a. Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to 'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf report: Check argument before calling setup_browser()

2015-12-10T17:35:58Z

This is necessary to get rid of the browser dependency from usage_with_options() and its friends. Because there's no code changing the argc and argv, it'd be ok to check it early.

perf report: Show error message when processing sample fails

2015-11-27T19:56:32Z

Currently when perf fails to process samples for some reason, it doesn't show any message about the failure. This is very inconvenient for users especially on TUI as screen is reset after the failure.

perf report: Add callchain value option

2015-11-19T16:19:23Z

Now -g/--call-graph option supports how to display callchain values. Possible values are 'percent', 'period' and 'count'. The percent is same as before and it's the default behavior. The period displays the raw period value rather than the percentage. The count displays the number of occurrences. $ perf report --no-children --stdio -g percent ... 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--28.63%-- start_secondary | --11.30%-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio -g period ... 39.93% 13018705 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--9334403-- start_secondary | --3684302-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-nr-samples --stdio -g count ... 39.93% 80 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--57-- start_secondary | --23-- rest_init Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Brendan Gregg Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447047946-1691-6-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf symbols: Allow forcing reading of non-root owned files by root

2015-11-12T21:58:18Z

When the root user tries to read a file owned by some other user we get: # ls -la perf.data -rw-------. 1 acme acme 20032 Nov 12 15:50 perf.data # perf report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf report -f | grep -v ^# | head -2 30.96% ls [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_set_pte 28.24% ls libc-2.20.so [.] intel_check_word # That wasn't happening when the symbol code tried to read a JIT map, where the same check was done but no forcing was possible, fix it.
