perf bench: Use unbuffered output when pipe/tee'ing to a file

2023-07-27T06:43:57Z

[ Upstream commit f0a29c9647ff8bbb424641f79bc1894e83dec218 ] The output of 'perf bench' gets buffered when I pipe it to a file or to tee, in such a way that I can see it only at the end. E.g. $ perf bench internals synthesize -t < output comes out fine after each test run > $ perf bench internals synthesize -t | tee file.txt < output comes out only at the end of all tests > This patch resolves this issue for 'bench' and 'test' subcommands. See, also: $ perf bench mem all | tee file.txt $ perf bench sched all | tee file.txt $ perf bench internals all -t | tee file.txt $ perf bench internals all | tee file.txt Committer testing: It really gets staggered, i.e. outputs in bursts, when the buffer fills up and has to be drained to make up space for more output.

perf tests: Add test for PE binary format support

2020-09-04T17:38:15Z

This adds a precompiled file in PE binary format, with split debug file, and tries to read its build_id and .gnu_debuglink sections, as well as looking up the main symbol from the debug file. This should succeed if libbfd is supported.

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

2020-05-29T19:51:38Z

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.

perf test: Improve pmu event metric testing

2020-05-28T13:03:26Z

Break pmu-events test into 2 and add a test to verify that all pmu metric expressions simply parse. Try to parse all metric ids/events, skip/warn if metrics for the current architecture fail to parse. To support warning for a skip, and an ability for a subtest to describe why it skips. Tested on power9, skylakex, haswell, broadwell, westmere, sandybridge and ivybridge. May skip/warn on other architectures if metrics are invalid. In particular s390 is untested, but its expressions are trivial. The untested architectures with expressions are power8, cascadelakex, tremontx, skylake, jaketown, ivytown and variants of haswell and broadwell. v3. addresses review comments from John Garry , Jiri Olsa and Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo . v2. changes the commit message as event parsing errors no longer cause the test to fail. Committer notes: Check the return value of strtod() to fix the build in systems where that function is declared with attribute warn_unused_result.
