perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

2012-11-19T22:21:03Z

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order - and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel headerfiles to use and instead. Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include. This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally, we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI - at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards *should* be transferred there. I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this be changed to use -MD? Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain bisectability. Signed-off-by: David Howells

perf tools: Add basic event modifier sanity check

2012-11-14T19:52:24Z

Updating event parser to allow any non zero string containing [ukhpGH] characters for event modifier. The modifier sanity is checked later in parse-event object logic. The check validates modifier to contain only one instance of any modifier (apart from 'p') present. v2: - added length check suggested Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121113143258.GA2481@krava.brq.redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Move parse_events error printing to parse_events_options

2012-10-28T13:29:52Z

The callers of parse_events usually have their own error handling. Move the fprintf for a bad event to parse_events_options, which is the only one who should need it.

perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing

2012-10-24T21:30:48Z

There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact specification of raw hardware events. Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).

perf tools: Add support to specify hw event as PMU event term

2012-10-24T08:41:27Z

Add a way to specify hw event as PMU event term like: 'cpu/event=cpu-cycles/u' 'cpu/event=instructions,.../u' 'cpu/cycles,.../u' The 'event=cpu-cycles' term is replaced/translated by the hw events term translation, which is exposed by sysfs 'events' group attribute. Add parser bits, the rest is already handled by the PMU alias code.

perf tool: Precise mode requires exclude_guest

2012-10-16T15:43:31Z

Summary of events per Peter: "Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address, even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest. AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all, setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail." This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute). Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU supports IBS profiling.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.
