perf tools: Remove stale prototypes from builtin.h

2017-04-24T16:43:33Z

Some, like prune_packed_objects() are clearly git specific, others don't have implementations and some are used in just one place, make them static. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-faj3c5dnttf3hurv4pujut8n@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove unused 'prefix' from builtin functions

2017-03-27T14:58:09Z

We got it from the git sources but never used it for anything, with the place where this would be somehow used remaining: static int run_builtin(struct cmd_struct *p, int argc, const char **argv) { prefix = NULL; if (p->option & RUN_SETUP) prefix = NULL; /* setup_perf_directory(); */ Ditch it.

perf ftrace: Introduce new 'ftrace' tool

2017-01-26T14:43:01Z

The 'perf ftrace' command is a simple wrapper of kernel's ftrace functionality. It only supports single thread tracing currently and just reads trace_pipe in text and then write it to stdout. Committer notes: Testing it: # perf ftrace -f function_graph usleep 123456 2) | SyS_nanosleep() { 2) | _copy_from_user() { 2) 0.900 us | } 2) 1.354 us | } 2) | hrtimer_nanosleep() { 2) 0.062 us | __hrtimer_init(); 2) | do_nanosleep() { 2) | hrtimer_start_range_ns() { 2) 5.025 us | } 2) | schedule() { 2) 0.125 us | rcu_note_context_switch(); 2) 0.057 us | _raw_spin_lock(); 2) | deactivate_task() { 2) 0.369 us | update_rq_clock.part.77(); 2) | dequeue_task_fair() { 2) + 22.453 us | } 2) + 23.736 us | } 2) | pick_next_task_fair() { 2) + 47.167 us | } 2) | pick_next_task_idle() { 2) 4.462 us | } ------------------------------------------ 2) usleep-20387 => -0 ------------------------------------------ 2) 0.806 us | switch_mm_irqs_off(); ------------------------------------------ 2) -0 => usleep-20387 ------------------------------------------ 2) 0.151 us | finish_task_switch(); 2) @ 123597.2 us | } 2) 0.037 us | _cond_resched(); 2) | hrtimer_try_to_cancel() { 2) 0.064 us | hrtimer_active(); 2) 0.353 us | } 2) @ 123605.3 us | } 2) @ 123606.2 us | } 2) @ 123608.3 us | } /* SyS_nanosleep */ 2) | __do_page_fault() { Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jeremy Eder Cc: Jiri Olsa , Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-r1hgmsj4dxny8arn3o9mw512@git.kernel.org [ Various foward port fixes, add man page ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf kallsyms: Introduce tool to look for extended symbol information on the running kernel

2017-01-11T19:48:01Z

Its similar to doing grep on a /proc/kallsyms, but it also shows extra information like the path to the kernel module and the unrelocated addresses in it, to help in diagnosing problems. It is also helps demonstrate the use of the symbols routines so that tool writers can use them more effectively. Using it: $ perf kallsyms e1000_xmit_frame netif_rx usb_stor_set_xfer_buf e1000_xmit_frame: [e1000e] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko 0xffffffffc046fc10-0xffffffffc0470bb0 (0x19c80-0x1ac20) netif_rx: [kernel] [kernel.kallsyms] 0xffffffff916f03a0-0xffffffff916f0410 (0xffffffff916f03a0-0xffffffff916f0410) usb_stor_set_xfer_buf: [usb_storage] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko 0xffffffffc057aea0-0xffffffffc057af19 (0xf10-0xf89) $ Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-79bk9pakujn4l4vq0f90klv3@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add 'perf config' command

2015-11-23T21:31:24Z

The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc. But looking at the state of configuration is difficult and there's no documentation about config variables except for the variables in perfconfig.example exist. So this patch adds a 'perf-config' command with a '--list' option. perf config [options] display current perf config variables. # perf config -l | --list Signed-off-by: Taeung Song Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447768424-17327-1-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add new 'perf data' command

2015-02-25T15:42:25Z

Adding new 'perf data' command to provide operations over data files. The 'perf data convert' sub command is coming in following patch, but there's possibility for other useful commands like 'perf data ls' (to display perf data file in directory in ls style).

perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profiling

2013-04-01T15:21:44Z

This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec .....

perf trace: New tool

2012-09-26T23:42:23Z

Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra targets: [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell Error: unknown option `hell' usage: perf trace -p, --pid trace events on existing process id --tid trace events on existing thread id --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs --cpu list of cpus to monitor --no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters --mmap-pages number of mmap data pages --uid user to profile [acme@sandy linux]$ Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'. It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too! In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have a: -o filename Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report, etc). It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner: "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'" http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/ Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments of that LWN article.
