* perf evlist: Do not pass struct record_opts to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()Namhyung Kim2013-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since it's only used for checking ->pipe_output, we can pass the result directly. Now the perf_evlist__prepare_workload() don't have a dependency of struct perf_record_opts, it can be called from other places like perf stat.

* perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record commandJiri Olsa2012-11-141-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled. There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced program got executed. What we actually want is: 1) For any type of traced program: - all independent events and group leaders are disabled - all group members are enabled Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that. 2) For traced programs executed by perf: - all independent events and group leaders have enable_on_exec set - we don't specifically enable or disable any event during the record command Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group leaders as stated in 1). 3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid): - we specifically enable or disable all events during the record command When attaching events to already running traced we enable/disable events specifically, as there's no initial traced exec call. Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'. Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both 'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}' defined groups as they don't set 'group' option. Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is common to both group definition. Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group leader links in place.

* perf tools: Give user better message if precise is not supportedDavid Ahern2012-10-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing error message. e.g., $ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it. sleep: Terminated which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem.

* perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea2012-09-111-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

* perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed eventsJiri Olsa2012-08-141-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code. It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments: 'fp' - provides framepointer based user stack backtrace 'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack backtrace. The size specifies the size of the user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default. If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option in any case. Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind) perf record -g dwarf ls - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size perf record -g -- ls perf record -g fp ls - provides frame pointer unwind Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "Frank Ch.

* perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to recordDavid Ahern2012-08-031-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command -- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record. As an example consider the command: $ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10 Currently the command saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 (ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm). With this patch the command line saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343616831-6408-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
