perf tools: Introduce stat perf.data header feature

2015-12-17T18:15:14+00:00

Introducing the 'stat' feature to mark a perf.data as created by  the
'perf stat record' command. It contains no data.

It's needed so that the report tools (report/script) can differentiate
sampling data from counting data, because they need to be treated in a
different way.

In the future it might be used to store the version of the stat storage
system used.

perf tools: Add event_update event name type

2015-12-17T18:12:46+00:00

Adding name type 'event update' event, that stores/transfer events name.
Event's name is stored within perf.data's EVENT_DESC feature, but we
don't have it if we get the report data from pipe.

perf tools: Add event_update event scale type

2015-12-17T18:11:59+00:00

A__allocdding scale type 'event update' event, that stores/transfer
events scale value. The PMU events can define the scale
value which is used to multiply events data.

perf tools: Add event_update user level event

2015-12-17T18:10:16+00:00

It'll serve as a base event for additional event attributes details,
that are not part of the attr event.

At the moment this event is just a dummy one without any specific
functionality. The type value will distinguish the update event details.
It'll come in the following patches.

The idea for this event is to be extensible for any update that the
event might need in the future.

perf env: Move perf_env out of header.h and session.c into separate object

2015-09-14T15:50:19+00:00

Since it can be used separately from 'perf_session' and 'perf_header',
move it to separate include file and object, next csets will try to move
a perf_env__init() routine.

perf tools: Store the cpu socket and core ids in the perf.data header

2015-09-02T19:30:47+00:00

This patch stores the cpu socket_id and core_id in a perf.data header,
and reads them into the perf_env struct when processing perf.data files.

The changes modifies the CPU_TOPOLOGY section, making sure it is
backward/forward compatible.

The patch checks the section size before reading the core and socket ids.

It never reads data crossing the section boundary.  An old perf binary
without this patch can also correctly read the perf.data from a new perf
with this patch.

Because the new info is added at the end of the cpu_topology section, an
old perf tool ignores the extra data.

Examples:

1. New perf with this patch read perf.data from an old perf without the
   patch:

  $ perf_new report -i perf_old.data --header-only -I
  ......
  # sibling threads : 33
  # sibling threads : 34
  # sibling threads : 35
  # Core ID and Socket ID information is not available
  # node0 meminfo  : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29315548 kB
  # node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
  ......

2. Old perf without the patch reads perf.data from a new perf with the
   patch:

  $ perf_old report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
  ......
  # sibling threads : 33
  # sibling threads : 34
  # sibling threads : 35
  # node0 meminfo  : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
  # node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
  ......

3. New perf read new perf.data:

  $ perf_new report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
  ......
  # sibling threads : 33
  # sibling threads : 34
  # sibling threads : 35
  # CPU 0: Core ID 0, Socket ID 0
  # CPU 1: Core ID 1, Socket ID 0
  ......
  # CPU 61: Core ID 10, Socket ID 1
  # CPU 62: Core ID 11, Socket ID 1
  # CPU 63: Core ID 16, Socket ID 1
  # node0 meminfo  : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
  # node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53

perf tools: Rename perf_session_env to perf_env

2015-08-28T17:53:55+00:00

As it is not necessarily tied to a perf.data file and needs using in
places where a perf_session is not required.
