perf tools: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER

2013-08-29T19:09:31Z

Enable parsing of samples with sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. In addition, if the kernel supports it, prefer it to selecting PERF_SAMPLE_ID thereby allowing non-matching sample types.

perf evsel: Add support for enabling counters

2013-08-07T20:35:28Z

Add support for enabling already set up counters by using an ioctl. I share some code with the filter setup.

perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value

2013-08-07T20:35:22Z

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period value offered by lower layers. There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...

perf evsel: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample related processing

2013-08-07T20:35:22Z

For sample with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_READ the period value is stored in the 'struct sample_read'. Moreover if the read format has PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the 'struct sample_read' contains period values for all events in the group (for which the sample's event is a leader). We deliver separated samples for all the values contained within the 'struct sample_read'.

perf stat: Introduce --repeat forever

2013-03-15T17:01:26Z

The following patch causes 'perf stat --repeat 0' to be interpreted as 'forever', displaying the stats for every run. We act as if a single run was asked, and reset the stats in each iteration. In this mode SIGINT is passed to perf to be able to stop the loop with Ctrl+C.

perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__is_group_event() helper

2013-03-15T16:06:05Z

The perf_evsel__is_group_event function is for checking whether given evsel needs event group view support or not. Please note that it's different to the existing perf_evsel__is_group_leader() which checks only the given evsel is a leader or a standalone (i.e. non-group) event regardless of event group feature.

perf report: Show group description when event group is enabled

2013-01-31T16:07:48Z

When using event group viewer, it's better to show the group description rather than the leader information alone. If a leader did not contain any member, it's a non-group event.

perf hists: Resort hist entries using group members for output

2013-01-31T16:07:45Z

When event group is enabled, sorting hist entries on periods for output should consider groups members' period also. To do that, build period table using link/pair information and compare the table.

perf tools: Keep group information

2013-01-31T16:07:43Z

Add a few of group-related field in struct perf_{evlist,evsel} so that the group information in a evlist can be known easily. It only counts groups which have more than 1 members since leader-only groups are treated as non-group events.
