* perf stat: clarify unsupported events from uncounted eventsDavid Ahern2011-06-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf stat continues running even if the event list contains counters that are not supported. The resulting output then contains <not counted> for those events which gets confusing as to which events are supported, but not counted and which are not supported.

* perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalidArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-06-021-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf evsel: Fix use of inheritArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-04-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf stat doesn't mmap and its perfectly fine for it to use task-bound counters with inheritance. So set the attr.inherit on the caller and leave the syscall itself to validate it. When the mmap fails perf_evlist__mmap will just emit a warning if this is the failure reason.

* perf session: Use evlist/evsel for managing perf.data attributesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-03-101-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine (perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc. Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the emerging perf lib. cc: Arun Sharma <arun@sharma-home.net> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf tools: Improve support for sessions with multiple eventsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-03-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded sessions in addition to when we record sessions. More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at the same time. But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

* perf: make perf stat print user provided full event namesStephane Eranian2011-02-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 tool: Add cgroup supportStephane Eranian2011-02-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of cgroup names. The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It then passes that file descriptor to the kernel. Example: $ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 2,368,667,414 cycles test1 2,369,661,459 cycles <not counted> cycles test2 1.001856890 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590290.825bdf0a.7d0a.4890@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* perf evlist: Move the mmap array from perf_evselArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-01-221-7/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that cpu for the one with the mmap. The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the migrated methods to evlist.c. With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record' and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines, establishing a common codebase for both tools.

* perf tools: Fix perf_event.h header usageStephane Eranian2011-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file between command modules and the supporting code in util. It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree. There were a couple of #include <linux/perf_event.h> mixed with #include "../../perf_event.h". This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually led perf stat to segfault. Cc: David S.
