perf bench: Print both of prefaulted and no prefaulted results by default

2010-11-26T07:15:57+00:00

After applying this patch, perf bench mem memcpy prints
both of prefualted and without prefaulted score of memcpy().

New options --no-prefault and --only-prefault are added
to print single result, mainly for scripting usage.

Usage example:

 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB
 | # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
 | # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
 |
 |      634.969014 MB/Sec
 |        4.828062 GB/Sec (with prefault)
 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB --only-prefault
 | # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
 | # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
 |
 |        4.705192 GB/Sec (with prefault)
 | mitake@X201i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB --no-prefault
 | # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
 | # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
 |
 |      642.725568 MB/Sec

perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR()

2010-04-14T09:26:44+00:00

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

perf tools: Move the prototypes in util/string.h to util.h

2010-04-03T13:19:26+00:00

So that we avoid conflict with libc's string.h header.

perf tools: Introduce zalloc() for the common calloc(1, N) case

2009-11-24T15:37:02+00:00

This way we type less characters and it looks more like the
kzalloc kernel counterpart.

perf bench: Make the mem/memcpy tests more user-friendly

2009-11-22T08:41:06+00:00

mem-memcpy.c uses perf event system calls to obtain CPU clocks.
And it suddenly dies with BUG_ON() when it running on Linux
doesn't support perf event.

Also fail at calloc() can occur easily when too large
length is passed. Fail of calloc() causes sudden death
with assert().

These behaviours are not friendly. So I fixed the treating of
errors.

perf bench: Add memcpy() benchmark

2009-11-19T05:21:48+00:00

'perf bench mem memcpy' is a benchmark suite for measuring memcpy()
performance.

Example on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz:

| % perf bench mem memcpy -l 1GB
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 1MB Bytes from 0xb7d98008 to 0xb7e99008 ...
|
|     726.216412 MB/Sec
