perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps()

2016-05-04T21:49:12Z

commit a55e5663761366fb883f6f25375dd68bc958b9db upstream. We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it. This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms: $ sudo perf test 21 21: Test object code reading :*** Error in `perf': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000023ffcd0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x72055)[0x7f25be0f3055] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x779b6)[0x7f25be0f89b6] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x7a0ed)[0x7f25be0fb0ed] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_calloc+0xba)[0x7f25be0fceda] perf(parse_events_lex_init_extra+0x38)[0x4cfff8] perf(parse_events+0x55)[0x4a0615] perf(perf_evlist__config+0xcf)[0x4eeb2f] perf[0x479f82] perf(test__code_reading+0x1e)[0x47ad4e] perf(cmd_test+0x5dd)[0x46452d] perf[0x47f4e3] perf(main+0x603)[0x42c723] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f25be0a1610] perf(_start+0x29)[0x42c859] Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed in this patch.

perf evlist: Remove perf_evlist__(enable|disable)_event functions

2016-01-08T17:15:43Z

Replacing them with perf_evsel__(enable|disable). Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Noel Grandin Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452158050-28061-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads (like perf record does)

2016-01-08T17:15:11Z

'perf record' uses perf_evsel__open() to open events and passes the evsel->cpus and evsel->threads. Many tests and some tools instead use perf_evlist__open() which passes instead evlist->cpus and evlist->threads. Make perf_evlist__open() follow the 'perf record' behaviour so that a consistent approach is taken.

perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__new_dummy constructor

2016-01-07T16:14:56Z

For case where all we need is an evlist with just an "dummy" evsel, like in some 'perf test' entries. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-q52le0pblm2k3ncvyilelr9z@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Export id_add_fd()

Will be used to storing the event IDs in evlist object so it get stored into perf.data file.

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 evlist: Factor perf_evlist__(enable|disable) functions

2015-12-07T21:12:58Z

Use perf_evsel__(enable|disable) functions in perf_evlist__(enable|disable) functions in order to centralize ioctl enable/disable calls. This way we eliminate 2 places calling directly ioctl.

perf tools: By default use the most precise "cycles" hw counter available

2015-09-30T21:34:39Z

If the user doesn't specify any event, try the most precise "cycles" available, i.e. start by "cycles:ppp" and go on removing "p" till it works. E.g. $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (11 samples) ] $ perf evlist cycles:pp $ perf evlist -v cycles:pp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | head -1 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz $ When 'cycles' appears explicitely is specified this will not be tried, i.e. the user has full control of the level of precision to be used: $ perf record -e cycles usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (9 samples) ] $ perf evlist cycles $ perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Chandler Carruth Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXaxk27zwlk Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-b1ywebmt22pi78vjxau01wth@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__remove()

2015-09-28T20:15:31Z

Add a counterpart to perf_evlist__add() that does the opposite and deletes the evsel. This will be used by perf inject to remove unwanted evsels.
