perf utils: Check verbose flag properly

2017-02-20T14:35:54+00:00

It now can have negative value to suppress the message entirely.  So it
needs to check it being positive.

perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

2016-09-05T14:14:50+00:00

We're not using it anymore, few users were, but we really could do
without it, simplify lots of functions by removing it.

perf tests: objdump output can contain multi byte chunks

2016-08-02T19:42:51+00:00

objdump's raw insn output can vary across architectures on the number of
bytes per chunk (bpc) displayed and their endianness.

The code-reading test relied on reading objdump output as 1 bpc. Kaixu
Xia reported test failure on ARM64, where objdump displays 4 bpc:

  70c48:        f90027bf         str        xzr, [x29,#72]
  70c4c:        91224000         add        x0, x0, #0x890
  70c50:        f90023a0         str        x0, [x29,#64]

This patch adds support to read raw insn output for any bpc length.
In case of 2+ bpc it also guesses objdump's display endian.

perf evsel: Do not use globals in config()

2016-04-12T01:18:20+00:00

Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain
aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed.

This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist
gets callchains enabled.

perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample

2016-03-23T15:03:07+00:00

To avoid parsing event->header.misc in many locations.

This will also allow setting perf.sample.{ip,cpumode} in a single place,
from tracepoint fields, as needed by 'perf kvm' with PPC guests, where
the guest hardware counters is not available at the host.

perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test

2016-02-19T22:12:44+00:00

Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
auto-tuned:

  # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
  [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
  [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000

Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:

  # perf test -v 21 2>&1  | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
  Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
  [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
  40 /tmp/out
  [root@jouet ~]#

For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

perf tests: Use perf_evlist__strerror_open() to provide hints about max_freq

2016-02-19T22:12:43+00:00

Before:

  # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -4

  ---- end ----
  Test object code reading: FAILED!

After:

  perf_evlist__open() failed!
  Error: Invalid argument.
  Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
  Hint:  The current value is 1000 and 4000 is being requested.

owned by evlist and freed by perf_evlist__set_maps call.  Getting
reference to keep them alive.

perf test: Use machine__new_host in mmap thread code reading test

2015-12-07T21:12:55+00:00

This is more straightforward than what we have now.

It also fixes a segfault within machine__exit, that's caused
by not creating kernel maps for machine.. We're calling
machine__destroy_kernel_maps in machine__exit since commit:

perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

2015-11-19T16:19:15+00:00

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.

Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:

  test a = {
	.func = foo,
  };

fails.

To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.
