2010-04-27perf tools: Rename "kernel_info" to "machine"Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
struct kernel_info and kerninfo__ are too vague, what they really describe are machines, virtual ones or hosts. There are more changes to introduce helpers to shorten function calls and to make more clear what is really being done, but I left that for subsequent patches.

2010-04-24perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layerFrederic Weisbecker
The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are involved. There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that: - use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem) But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on record time. - use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock) The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use (unusable with perf lock for example). Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the previous one most of the time). This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to get ordered sample events, it needs to set its struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it. This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own reordering. Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

2010-04-15perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1Frederic Weisbecker
Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly need to trigger everytime. It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option. Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user override it.

2010-04-15perf: Fix dynamic field detectionThomas Gleixner
Checking if a tracing field is an array with a dynamic length requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc" string that prepends the actual type, as can be found in a trace event format file: field:__data_loc char[] name; offset:16; size:4; signed:1; But we actually use strcmp() to check if the field type fully matches "__data_loc", which may fail as we trip over the rest of the type.

2010-04-14perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing codeTom Zanussi
This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream to be sent and received over a pipe: - adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code - adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code - adds a range of event types to be used for header or other pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel - checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually reading them into event objects. - unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its users. Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data file format or processing - this code only comes into play if perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

2010-04-14perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce ↵Ian Munsie
OPT_INCR() Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

2010-04-08perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in /events/header_pageArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
That is not used in perf where we have the LOST events. Without this patch we get: [root@doppio ~]# perf lock report | head -3 Warning: Error: expected 'data' but read 'overwrite' So, to make the same perf command work with kernels with and without this field, introduce variants for the parsing routines to not warn the user in such case.

Clicking on -> will bring as one of the popup menu options a "Zoom into CURRENT DSO", i.e. CURRENT will be replaced by the name of the DSO in the current line. Choosing this option will filter out all samples that didn't took place in a symbol in this DSO. After that the option reverts to "Zoom out of CURRENT DSO", to allow going back to the more compreensive view, not filtered by DSO. Future similar operations will include zooming into a particular thread, COMM, CPU, "last minute", "last N usecs", etc. Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
