* perf tools: Save cmdline arguments earlierJosh Poimboeuf2015-12-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf_env__set_cmdline() only saves the arguments the first time it's called. It doesn't need to be called every time the options and suboptions are parsed. Instead it can just be called once. This also has the advantage of making the option parsing code less perf-specific so it can be moved out to a library.

* perf tools: Add 'perf config' commandTaeung Song2015-11-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc. But looking at the state of configuration is difficult and there's no documentation about config variables except for the variables in perfconfig.example exist. So this patch adds a 'perf-config' command with a '--list' option. perf config [options] display current perf config variables. # perf config -l | --list Signed-off-by: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447768424-17327-1-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --eventWang Nan2015-10-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready. Commiter notes: Using it: $ ls -la foo.o ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory $ perf record --event foo.o sleep libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory event syntax error: 'foo.o' \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/foo.o /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ] $ perf evlist /tmp/foo.o $ perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok. $ perf report --stdio Error: The perf.data file has no samples! # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # $ Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kaixu Xia <xiakaixu@huawei.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444826502-49291-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*'Yunlong Song2015-02-271-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version --exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree --debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two problems: Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf really supports will be inconsistent. Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g. 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can continue to choose one. To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash completion now. Example: Before this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' $ perf -- <-- 'h' disappears and no required result After this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' --help --html-path <-- the required result Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song <yunlong.song@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1425032491-20224-8-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too! In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have a: -o filename Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report, etc). It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner: "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'" http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/ Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments of that LWN article.

This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.

* perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dirStephane Eranian2010-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

* perf tui: Allow disabling the TUI on a per command basis in ~/.perfconfigArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-201-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the same scheme as for git's/perf's pager setup, i.e. if one doesn't want to, on a newt enabled perf binary, to disable the TUI for 'perf report', its just a matter of doing: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# printf "[tui]\n\nreport = off\n" > /root/.perfconfig [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# cat /root/.perfconfig [tui] report = off [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# System wide settings are also possible, by editing /etc/perfconfig, etc, i.e. the git machinery for config files applies to perf as well, so when in doubt where to put your settings, consult the git documentation, if it fails, please let us know.
