2009-06-06perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event typesIngo Molnar
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE method. This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-06-06perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->configIngo Molnar
Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config. Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field. Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits all around counter attribute management. The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup). (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.) (PowerPC build-tested.)

2009-06-04perf_counter: Sleep before refresh using poll in perf topFrederic Weisbecker
perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such loop: while (sleep(delay_secs)) { print_sym_table(); } At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay to check if we have something from stdin. It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate. We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the delay_secs latency. Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures since it sleeps the entire timeout here.

kerneltop has been replaced with perf top - so fix up a few remaining references to it in display text and error messages.

2009-06-03perf report: Fix comm sortingPeter Zijlstra
Since we can (and do) change comm strings during the collection phase, we cannot actually sort on them to build the histogram. Therefore add an (optional) third sorting phase to collapse the histrogram. Comm sorting now builds the histrogram on threads and then in the collapse phase collects all threads with the same comm. This collapsed histogram is then reversed and sorted on events.

2009-06-03perf report: Handle vDSO symbols properlyIngo Molnar
We were not looking up vDSO symbols properly, because they are in the kallsyms but are user-mode entries. Pass negative addresses to the kernel dso object, this way we resolve them properly: 0.05% [kernel]: vread_tsc Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

-D prints to stderr - which is a bit confusing - print to stdout instead. Also clean up the if (dump_trace) patterns via a dprintf helper.
