perf tools: Fix const char type propagation

2009-10-12T06:35:00+00:00

The following perf build warnings/errors in function
argument types:

  builtin-sched.c:1894: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sort_dimension__add' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
  util/trace-event-parse.c:685: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
  util/trace-event-parse.c:741: warning: passing argument 4 of 'test_type_token' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
  util/trace-event-parse.c:706: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected_item' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

... trigger because older GCC is not able to prove that
sort_dimension__add() does not change the string.

Some goes for test_type_token().

Fix this by improving type consistency.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

2009-09-21T12:28:04+00:00

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

perf sched: Add --input=file option to builtin-sched.c

2009-09-18T06:36:06+00:00

perf sched record passes unparsed args on to perf record, so
specifying an output file via perf sched record -o FILE (cmd) just
works.  Ergo, provide an option to specify input file as well.

Also add the missing 'map' command to help.

perf sched: Add 'perf sched map' scheduling event map printout

This prints a textual context-switching outline of workload

Columns stand for individual CPUs, from CPU0 to CPU15, and the
two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that are running on a CPU.

'*' denotes the CPU that had the event.

A dot signals an idle CPU.

New tasks are assigned new two-letter shortcuts - when they occur
first they are printed. In the above example 'T1' stood for irqbalance:

      T1 => irqbalance:2089

perf sched: Make idle thread and comm/pid names more consistent

Peter noticed that we have 3 ways of referring to the idle thread:

 [idle]:0
 swapper:0
 swapper-0

Standardize on 'swapper:0'.

And increase buffering to -m 1024 (4 MB) by default. Since we
use output multiplexing that kind of space is needed.
