perf top: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach

2020-04-18T12:05:01+00:00

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack
can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call
stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp.
Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of
samples with stitched LBRs are huge.

Add an option to enable the approach.
The option must be used with --call-graph lbr.

perf auxtrace: Uninline functions that touch perf_session

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

perf record: Move record_opts and other record decls out of perf.h

2019-08-26T14:58:22+00:00

And into a separate util/record.h, to better isolate things and make
sure that those who use record_opts and the other moved declarations
are explicitly including the necessary header.

perf top: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events

2019-08-15T19:03:26+00:00

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.

The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:

- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
  a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
  histograms browser

- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
  per event.

Try for instance:

  # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv

Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:

  # perf probe icmp_rcv:59

To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

perf evlist: Rename struct perf_evlist to struct evlist

2019-07-29T21:34:42+00:00

Rename struct perf_evlist to struct evlist, so we don't have a name
clash when we add struct perf_evlist in libperf.

Add drop count to 'perf top' headers:

  # perf top

perf top: Use cond variable instead of a lock

2018-12-17T17:58:03+00:00

Use conditional variable logic to synchronize between the reading and
processing threads. Currently it's done by having mutex around rotation
code.

Using a POSIX cond variable to sync both threads after queues rotation:

  Process thread:

    - Detects data
    - Switches queues
    - Sets rotate variable
    - Waits in pthread_cond_wait()

  Read thread:

    - Detects rotate is set
    - Kicks the process thread with a pthread_cond_signal()

After this rotation is safely completed and both threads can continue
with the new queue.

perf top: Add processing thread

2018-12-17T17:57:52+00:00

Add a new thread that takes care of the hist creating to alleviate the
main reader thread so it can keep perf mmaps served in time so that we
reduce the possibility of losing events.

The 'perf top' command now spawns 2 extra threads, the data processing
is the following:

  1) The main thread reads the data from mmaps and queues them to
     ordered events object;

  2) The processing threads takes the data from the ordered events
     object and create initial histogram;

  3) The GUI thread periodically sorts the initial histogram and
     presents it.

Passing the data between threads 1 and 2 is done by having 2 ordered
events queues. One is always being stored by thread 1 while the other is
flushed out in thread 2.

Passing the data between threads 2 and 3 stays the same as was initially
for threads 1 and 3.
