perf tools: Removing hists pair argument from output path

2012-10-04T16:29:45+00:00

The hists pointer is now part of the 'struct hist_entry'.

And since the overhead and baseline columns are split now, there's no
reason to pass it through the output path.

perf diff: Refactor diff displacement possition info

2012-10-04T16:27:56+00:00

Moving the position calculation into the diff command, so the position
as prepared inside struct hist_entry data and there's no need to compute
in the output display path.

Removing 'displacement' from struct perf_hpp as it is no longer needed.

perf top: Don't use globals where not needed to

2012-10-02T21:36:38+00:00

Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to
where it belongs.

perf evsel: Know if byte swap is needed

2012-09-26T15:48:18+00:00

Instead of passing it around for parsing as an explicit parameter, will
help with reading tracepoint fields when not using a perf session or
pevent structure, i.e. for non perf.data centered workflows.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf evlist: Rename group method to set_leader

2012-08-15T13:13:56+00:00

Just like was done for parse_events__set_leader.

Also we need to have the list_entry set_leader method in evlist.c so that we
don't grow another dep in the python binding:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in 
     import perf
 ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: parse_events__set_leader

And also remove a pr_debug from evsel.c so that we avoid this one too:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in

perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events

2012-08-14T20:03:49+00:00

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
  # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
   -e instructions ls

  # 1 group
  # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
   -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

  # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing

2012-08-11T18:06:56+00:00

This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.

Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.

The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.

The unwind interface provides following function:
	unwind__get_entries

And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
	typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
					 void *arg);

perf kvm top: Limit guest kernel info message to once

'perf kvm top' shows a continual flurry of:
    Can't find guest [5201]'s kernel information

if it can't find the guest info and with a lot of VMs running a user has no
chance of reading them all. Limit message to once per guest.
