perf probe: Add glob matching support on --del

2009-12-15T19:22:03Z

Add glob-expression matching support on --del option. You can use wildcards for specifying deleting events. e.g. Clear all probe events: # perf probe --del '*' Clear probes on schedule(): # perf probe --del 'schedule*' Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Jim Keniston Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Frank Ch.

perf tools: Add new perf_atoll() function to parse string representing size in bytes

2009-11-15T13:54:23Z

This patch modifies util/string.[ch] to add new function: perf_atoll() to parse string representing size in bytes. This function parses (\d+)(b|B|kb|KB|mb|MB|gb|GB) (e.g. "256MB") and returns its numeric value.

perf tools: Protect header files with a consistent style

There was a colorful mix of header guards - standardize them. Signed-off-by: John Kacur LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf_counter: Detect debugfs location

2009-07-22T16:05:57Z

If "/sys/kernel/debug" is not a debugfs mount point, search for the debugfs filesystem in /proc/mounts, but also allows the user to specify '--debugfs-dir=blah' or set the environment variable: 'PERF_DEBUGFS_DIR' Signed-off-by: Jason Baron [ also made it probe "/debug" by default ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra LKML-Reference: <20090721181629.GA3094@redhat.com>

perf_counter tools: Rework the file format

2009-06-25T19:39:04Z

Create a structured file format that includes the full perf_counter_attr and all its relevant counter IDs so that the reporting program has full information. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions

2009-06-19T16:25:47Z

On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/

2009-06-06T18:33:43Z

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory. Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
