perf evlist: Rename for_each() macros to for_each_entry()

2016-06-23T14:26:15+00:00

To match the semantics for list.h in the kernel, that are used to
implement those macros.

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 reference counting for cpu_map object

2015-06-25T18:15:50+00:00

Adding refference counting for cpu_map object, so it could be easily
shared among other objects.

Using cpu_map__put instead cpu_map__delete and making cpu_map__delete
static.

perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface

2015-04-29T13:37:58+00:00

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

  struct parse_events_error {
    int   idx;
    char *str;
    char *help;
  };

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint
  ...

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
  ...

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
                                 \___ parser error
  ...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recording

2015-04-29T13:37:51+00:00

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.

This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.

Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.

Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__set_tracking_event()

2014-08-13T22:21:32+00:00

Add a function to change which event is used to track mmap, comm and
task events.

This is needed with Instruction Tracing because the Instruction Tracing
event must come first but cannot be used for tracking because it will be
disabled under some circumstances.

perf tools: Fix probing the kernel API with cpu-wide events

2014-08-13T19:22:06+00:00

Fall back to probing with the current pid if cpu-wide probing fails.
This primarily affects the setting of comm_exec flag when the user is
un-privileged and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid > 0.

The change to comm_exec can be observed by using -vv with perf record
and a kernel that supports comm_exec.
