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 tools: Rename 'perf_record_opts' to 'record_opts

2013-12-19T17:43:45Z

Reduce typing, functions use class__method convention, so unlikely to clash with other libraries. This actually was discussed in the "Link:" referenced message below.

tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support

2013-11-27T10:16:39Z

This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and scales as exported by the kernel. The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor via sysfs: $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-* /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale 2.3283064365386962890625e-10 $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit Joules This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there will be an empty field. Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

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
