perf list: Support long jevents descriptions

2016-10-04T00:35:47+00:00

Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some
events have in the event list completely. This patch makes them appear with
perf list.

Old perf list:

baclears:
  baclears.all
       [Counts the number of baclears]

vs new:

perf list -v:
...
baclears:
  baclears.all
       [The BACLEARS event counts the number of times the front end is
        resteered, mainly when the Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide
        a correct prediction and this is corrected by the Branch Address
        Calculator at the front end. The BACLEARS.ANY event counts the
        number of baclears for any type of branch]

perf list: Add a --no-desc flag

2016-10-04T00:35:45+00:00

Add a --no-desc flag to 'perf list' to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to get a
less crowded listing.

It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful
default for most users.

perf tools: Add infrastructure for PMU specific configuration

2016-09-13T20:09:11+00:00

This patch adds PMU driver specific configuration to the parser
infrastructure by preceding any term with the '@' letter.  As such doing
something like:

perf record -e some_event/@cfg1,@cfg2=config/ ...

will see 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' being added to the list of evsel
config terms.  Token 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' are not processed in user
space and are meant to be interpreted by the PMU driver.

First the lexer/parser are supplemented with the required definitions to
recognise the driver specific configuration.  From there they are simply
added to the list of event terms.  The bulk of the work is done in
function "parse_events_add_pmu()" where driver config event terms are
added to a new list of driver config terms, which in turn spliced with
the event's new driver configuration list.

perf tools: Enable overwrite settings

2016-07-15T20:27:51+00:00

This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

  # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1

perf list: Show SDT and pre-cached events

2016-07-14T02:09:07+00:00

Show SDT and pre-cached events by perf-list with "sdt". This also shows
the binary and build-id where the events are placed only when there are
same name events on different binaries.

e.g.:

  # perf list sdt

  List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

    sdt_libc:lll_futex_wake                            [SDT event]
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private                     [SDT event]
    sdt_libc:longjmp                                   [SDT event]
    sdt_libc:longjmp_target                            [SDT event]
  ...

perf tools: Per event max-stack settings

2016-05-30T15:41:44+00:00

The tooling counterpart, now it is possible to do:

  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch/max-stack=10/ -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=4/ -e cpu-cycles/call-graph=dwarf,max-stack=1024/ usleep 1

  # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events

Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.

perf tools: Apply tracepoint event definition options to BPF script

2016-02-22T16:02:44+00:00

Users can pass options to tracepoints defined in the BPF script.  For
example:

  # perf record -e ./test.c/no-inherit/ bash
  # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
  # exit
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data (139 samples) ]

  (no-inherit works, only the sys_read issued by bash are captured, at
   least 10000 sys_read issued by dd are skipped.)

test.c:

  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
  SEC("func=sys_read")
  int bpf_func__sys_read(void *ctx)
  {
      return 1;
  }
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

no-inherit is applied to the kprobe event defined in test.c.

perf tools: Support setting different slots in a BPF map separately

2016-02-22T15:48:50+00:00

This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different slots
in a BPF map one by one.

array.nr_ranges and array.ranges are introduced into 'struct
parse_events_term', where ranges is an array of indices range (start,
length) which will be configured by this config term. nr_ranges is the
size of the array. The array is passed to 'struct bpf_map_priv'.  To
indicate the new type of configuration, BPF_MAP_KEY_RANGES is added as a
new key type. bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over
those indices instead of all possible keys.

Code in this commit will be enabled by following commit which enables
the indices syntax for array configuration.
