perf evlist: Always do automatic allocation of pollfd and mmap structures

2011-11-29T10:05:52Z

At first tools were required to do that, but while writing the python bindings to simplify the API I made them auto-allocate when needed. This just makes record, stat and top use that auto allocation, simplifying them a bit.

perf tools: Save some loops using perf_evlist__id2evsel

2011-11-28T19:57:40Z

Since we already ask for PERF_SAMPLE_ID and use it to quickly find the associated evsel, add handler func + data to struct perf_evsel to avoid using chains of if(strcmp(event_name)) and also to avoid all the linear list searches via trace_event_find. To demonstrate the technique convert 'perf sched' to it: # perf sched record sleep 5m And then: Performance counter stats for '/tmp/oldperf sched lat': 646.929438 task-clock # 0.999 CPUs utilized 9 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 20,901 page-faults # 0.032 M/sec 1,290,144,450 cycles # 1.994 GHz stalled-cycles-frontend stalled-cycles-backend 1,606,158,439 instructions # 1.24 insns per cycle 339,088,395 branches # 524.151 M/sec 4,550,735 branch-misses # 1.34% of all branches 0.647524759 seconds time elapsed Versus: Performance counter stats for 'perf sched lat': 473.564691 task-clock # 0.999 CPUs utilized 9 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 20,903 page-faults # 0.044 M/sec 944,367,984 cycles # 1.994 GHz stalled-cycles-frontend stalled-cycles-backend 1,442,385,571 instructions # 1.53 insns per cycle 308,383,106 branches # 651.195 M/sec 4,481,784 branch-misses # 1.45% of all branches 0.474215751 seconds time elapsed [root@emilia ~]# Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1kbzpl74lwi6lavpqke2u2p3@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Introduce id_hdr_size method out of perf_session

2011-11-28T12:37:29Z

We will need this when not using perf_session in cases like 'perf top' and strace where no perf.data file is created nor consumed.

perf evlist: Handle default value for 'pages' on mmap method

2011-11-28T12:26:43Z

Every tool that calls this and allows the user to override the value needs this logic.

perf evlist: Introduce {prepare,start}_workload refactored from 'perf record'

2011-11-28T12:26:14Z

So that we can easily start a workload in other tools. Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-zdsksd4aphu0nltg2lpwsw3x@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Introduce config attr method

2011-11-28T12:25:31Z

Out of the code in 'perf record', so that we can share option parsing, etc. Eventually will be used by 'perf top', but first 'trace' will use it.

perf evlist: Introduce add_tracepoints method

Convenient way of asking for tracepoint events to be added to an existing evlist.

2011-11-28T12:24:43Z

Replacing the open coded equivalents in 'perf stat'. Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1btwadnf2tds2g07hsccsdse@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Fix grouping of multiple events

2011-10-26T12:25:02Z

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events to the first fd opened on that cpu. So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be able to get that first per cpu fd. At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback from hw to soft counters, etc. Reported-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu Tested-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ebm34rh098i9y9v4cytfdp0x@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf browsers: Add live mode to the hists, annotate browsers

2011-10-07T15:12:51Z

This allows passing a timer to be run periodically, which will update the hists tree that then gers refreshed on the screen, just like the Live mode (symbol entries, annotation) we already have in 'perf top --tui'. Will be used by the new hist_entry/hists based 'top' tool.
