| * | | | | | | perf record: Move perf_mmap__write_tail to perf.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-01-222-12/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Close to perf_mmap__read_head() and the perf_mmap struct definition. This is useful for any recorder, and we will need it in 'perf test'.

Next step: 'perf record' should use, then move the mmap_array out of ->priv and into perf_evsel, with top and record sharing this, and at the same time, write a 'perf test' stress test.

* | | | | | | | perf symbols: Avoid resolving [kernel.kallsyms] to real path for buildid cacheLin Ming2011-03-091-3/+8

Currently, it can't be added to buildid cache successfully because the code (build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real absolute pathname and that fails. Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms]. So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.

It removed the fallback from hardware profiling to software profiling. .e.g., in a VM with no PMU.

Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(), and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would die with: "no trace data in the file" Problem introduced in 70d544d.

It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server. It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations. x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor. Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal" at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance at the expense of energy efficiency. See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information. Background: Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, without actually modifying the MSR. In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on the cpufreq governor in use. It also offered a boot-time cmdline option to override. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457 But hiding the hardware policy behind the governor choice was deemed "kinda icky". In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to generalize the power/performance policy trade-off. "RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference" http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399 That is my preference for implementing this capability, but I received no support on the list. So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML, a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246 Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback, to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared APERF/MPERF up through that release. On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors, turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states, which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues that may have an effect on turbo-mode. See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
