perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__prev() method

2013-11-14T19:00:16Z

Just one use so far, on the hists browser, for completeness since there we use perf_evlist__{first,last} and perf_evsel__next() for handling the TAB and UNTAB keys.

perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03Z

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructor

2013-11-11T18:56:39Z

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need for passing the constructor for the common case. We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled, with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist, partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list. This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx setting.

tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transaction

2013-10-04T08:06:07Z

Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics: Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers. Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction length. This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions. Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel abstract handle both cases here. Enable with a new --transaction / -T option. This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each other. This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377128846-977-5-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

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 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.
