kernel.git/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h, branch linux-3.6.y

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

2012-06-20T11:41:53Z

Pull perf improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * Replace event_name with perf_evsel__name, that handles the event modifiers and doesn't use static variables. * GTK browser improvements, from Namhyung Kim * Fix possible NULL pointer deref in the TUI annotate browser, from Samuel Liao * Add sort by source file:line number, using addr2line. * Allow printing histogram text snapshots at any point in top/report.

perf tools: Remove __event_name

2012-06-19T16:06:21Z

Not needed anymore, the parsing code can just leave evsel->name as NULL and the first call to perf_evsel__name() will do exactly what was being pre-cached using __event_name().

perf tools: Move all users of event_name to perf_evsel__name

2012-06-19T16:06:20Z

So that we don't use global variables that could make us misreport event names when having a multi window top, for instance.

perf/tool: Add PMU event alias support

2012-06-18T10:13:26Z

Add support to specify alias term within the event description. The definition of pmu event alias is located at: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/events/ Each file in the 'events' directory defines a event alias. Its contents are like: config=1,config1=2 Using pmu event alias, an event can be now specified like: uncore/CLOCKTICKS/ or uncore/event=CLOCKTICKS/ Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan [ Cleaned it up. ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1339741902-8449-13-git-send-email-zheng.z.yan@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf/tool: Add support to reuse event grammar to parse out terms

2012-06-18T10:13:25Z

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms. The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's already support for this in event grammar. Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly. Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported: PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part of the grammar for term parsing.

perf/tool: Make the event parser re-entrant

2012-06-18T10:13:24Z

Make the event parser reentrant by creating separate scanner for each parsing. The scanner is passed to the bison as and argument to the lexer.

perf/tool: Use data struct for arg passing in event parse function

2012-06-18T10:13:24Z

Moving all the bison arguments into the structure. In upcomming patches we are going to: - add more arguments - reuse the grammer for term parsing so it's more clear to pack/separate related arguments.

perf tools: Add hardcoded name term for pmu events

2012-05-22T14:47:54Z

Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no 'name' term is given, the event name follows following template: "raw 0x" running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 krava1 ... running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 raw 0x1 ...

perf tools: Use allocated list for each parsed event

2012-05-22T14:22:28Z

Switch from using static temporary event list into dynamically allocated one. This way we dont need to pass temp list to the parse_events_parse which makes the interface more clear.

perf test: Move parse event automated tests to separated object

2012-05-22T14:19:16Z

Moving event parsing specific tests into separated file: util/parse-events-test.c Also changing the code a bit to ease running separate tests.
