Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160516' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

2016-05-20T06:20:14Z

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to the perf_sample->ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim) - Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim) - Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim) - Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen) - Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly of a different arch even (arm -> x86_64) (He Kuang) Infrastructure changes: - Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Cleanups: - Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets

2016-05-17T02:11:47Z

Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

perf stat: Avoid fractional digits for integer scales

2016-05-17T02:11:13Z

When the scaling factor is a full integer don't display fractional digits. This avoids unnecessary .00 output for topdown metrics with scale factors. v2: Remove redundant check.

perf stat: Fallback to user only counters when perf_event_paranoid > 1

After 0161028b7c8a ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2") 'perf stat' fails for users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so just use 'perf_evsel__fallback()' to have the same behaviour as 'perf record', i.e. set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.

perf stat: Add extra output of counter values with -vv

2016-05-06T16:00:56Z

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode

2016-03-10T19:49:40Z

Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

perf stat: Support metrics in --per-core/socket mode

2016-03-03T14:10:36Z

Enable metrics printing in --per-core / --per-socket mode. We need to save the shadow metrics in a unique place. Always use the first CPU in the aggregation. Then use the same CPU to retrieve the shadow value later.
