perf parse-events: Reduce casts around bp_addr

2020-09-28T12:22:39Z

perf_event_attr bp_addr is a u64. parse-events.y parses it as a u64, but casts it to a void* and then parse-events.c casts it back to a u64. Rather than all the casts, change the type of the address to be a u64.

perf tools: Fix term parsing for raw syntax

2020-07-30T10:01:48Z

Jin Yao reported issue with possible conflict between raw events and term values in pmu event syntax. Currently following syntax is resolved as raw event with 0xead value: uncore_imc_free_running/read/ instead of using 'read' term from uncore_imc_free_running pmu, because 'read' is correct raw event syntax with 0xead value. To solve this issue we do following: - check existing terms during rXXXX syntax processing and make them priority in case of conflict - allow pmu/r0x1234/ syntax to be able to specify conflicting raw event (implemented in previous patch) Also add automated tests for this and perf_pmu__parse_cleanup call to parse_events_terms, so the test gets properly cleaned up.

perf parse: Provide a way to pass a fake_pmu to parse_events()

2020-06-22T19:28:08Z

This is an alternative patch to what Jiri sent that instead of changing all callers to parse_events() for allowing to pass a fake_pmu, provide another function specifically for that. From Jiri's patch: This way it's possible to parse events from PMUs which are not present in the system. It's available only for testing purposes coming in following changes, so all the current users set fake_pmu argument as false.

perf tools: Add fake pmu support

2020-06-22T19:28:08Z

Add a way to create a pmu event without the actual PMU being in place. This way we can test metrics defined for any processor. The interface is to define fake_pmu in struct parse_events_state data. It will be used only in tests via special interface function added in following changes.

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

2020-05-29T19:51:38Z

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.

perf parse: Add 'struct parse_events_state' pointer to scanner

2020-05-28T13:03:28Z

We need to pass more data to the scanner so let's start with having it to take pointer to 'struct parse_events_state' object instead of just start token.

perf parse-events: Add parse_events_option() variant that creates evlist

2020-05-05T19:35:29Z

For the upcoming --switch-output-event option we want to create the side band event, populate it with the specified events and then, if it is present multiple times, go on adding to it, then, if the BPF tracking is required, use the first event to set its attr.bpf_event to get those PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT metadata events too.

perf record: Add aux-sample-size config term

2019-11-22T13:48:13Z

To allow individual events to be selected for AUX area sampling, add aux-sample-size config term. attr.aux_sample_size is updated by auxtrace_parse_sample_options() so that the existing validation will see the value. Any event that has a non-zero aux_sample_size will cause AUX area sampling to be configured, irrespective of the --aux-sample option.
