* perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct eventsJiri Olsa2012-03-221-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it is attached to. The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last one. Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

| * perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()Stephane Eranian2012-03-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched: $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ] Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more. The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between each read.

* | perf tools: Add support to specify pmu style eventJiri Olsa2012-03-161-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added new event rule to the event definition grammar: event_def: event_pmu | ... event_pmu: PE_NAME '/' event_config '/' Using this rule, event could be now specified like: cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu} and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format The hardcoded config options still stays and have precedence over any format field defined with same name.

* | perf tools: Add config options support for event parsingJiri Olsa2012-03-161-3/+96

The new syntax for event symbolic definition is: event_legacy_symbol: PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' | PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc event_config: event_config ',' event_term | event_term event_term: PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME | PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE PE_NAME sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' | At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is: 'config' to define perf_event_attr::config 'config1' to define perf_event_attr::config1 'config2' to define perf_event_attr::config2 'period' to define perf_event_attr::sample_period Legacy events could be now specified as: cycles/period=100000/ If term is specified without the value assignment, then 1 is assigned by default.

* perf tools: Simplify debugfs mountpoint handling codeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-11-281-15/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just one in util/debugfs.c will do. Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible. This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c. The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug" and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

* perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown eventsStephane Eranian2011-08-181-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'. The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed. Without the patch: $ perf stat -e retired_foo invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo' With the patch: $ perf stat -e retired_foo invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo' This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events. The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like: # ./perf stat -e krava ls The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to segfault. Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache event.

* perf: make perf stat print user provided full event namesStephane Eranian2011-02-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without their modifiers (u, k, pp). This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel struct and uses it to print the final event name. This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables. $ perf stat -e cycles:u,cycles:k date Wed Feb 16 14:58:52 CET 2011 Performance counter stats for 'date': 568600 cycles:u 2779715 cycles:k 0.001908182 seconds time elapsed Cc: Arun Sharma <arun@sharma-home.net> Cc: David S.

* perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepointsHan Pingtian2011-01-061-31/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand, such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like this: *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7] .... The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this: $ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'` The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all events, and will overflow the 'filename' at: strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname)); This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has been found.

The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event.
