perf record: Fix to honor user freq/interval properly

2014-06-12T14:53:18Z

When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no default value. This worked because most of events don't have default value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not desirable to change it for those events). However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override the default value if user gives one of the options. $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (~14185 samples) ] $ perf evlist -F cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=4000 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1402292617-26278-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

Revert "perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support"

2014-06-09T11:34:46Z

This reverts commit 3090ffb5a2515990182f3f55b0688a7817325488. Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon. Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks to the revert had to be done: o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7) o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401461382-209586-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tools: Disable user-space callchain/stack dumps for function trace events

2014-03-11T10:57:59Z

User space callchains and user space stack dump were disabled for function trace event. Mailing list discussions: http://marc.info/?t=139302086500001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=139301437300003&r=1&w=2 Catching up with perf and disabling user space callchains and DWARF unwind (uses user stack dump) for function trace event. Adding following warnings when callchains are used for function trace event: # perf record -g -e ftrace:function ... Disabling user space callchains for function trace event. ... # ./perf record --call-graph=dwarf -e ftrace:function ... Cannot use DWARF unwind for function trace event, falling back to framepointers. Disabling user space callchains for function trace event. ...

perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump

2014-02-18T12:34:48Z

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information compact. The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more into the struct regs_dump.

perf tools: Add call-graph option support into .perfconfig

2014-02-18T12:34:47Z

Adding call-graph option support into .perfconfig file, so it's now possible use call-graph option like: [top] call-graph = fp [record] call-graph = dwarf,8192 Above options ONLY setup the unwind method. To enable perf record/top to actually use it the command line option -g/-G must be specified. The --call-graph option overloads .perfconfig setup. Assuming above configuration: $ perf record -g ls - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 8192 bytes $ perf top -G - enables frame pointer unwind $ perf record --call-graph=fp ls - enables frame pointer unwind $ perf top --call-graph=dwarf,4096 ls - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 4096 bytes Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1391427883-13443-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Put proper period for for samples without PERIOD sample_type

2014-02-18T12:34:46Z

We use PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD sample type only for frequency setup -F (default) option. The -c does not need store period, because it's always the same. In -c case the report code uses '1' as period. Fixing it to perf_event_attr::sample_period.

perf record: Rename --no-delay to --no-buffering

2014-01-14T20:57:04Z

That is how the option summary describes it and so that we can free --delay to replace --initial-delay and then be consistent with stat's --delay equivalent option.

perf record: Add --initial-delay option

2014-01-13T13:07:03Z

perf stat has a --delay option to delay measuring the workload. This is useful to skip measuring the startup phase of the program, which is often very different from the main workload. The same is useful for perf record when sampling. --no-delay was already taken, so add a --initial-delay to perf record too. -D was already taken for record, so there is only a long option. v2: Don't disable group members (Namhyung Kim) v3: port to latest perf/core rename to --initial-delay to avoid conflict with --no-delay Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389476307-2124-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
