2013-01-31perf report: Show group description when event group is enabledNamhyung Kim
When using event group viewer, it's better to show the group description rather than the leader information alone. If a leader did not contain any member, it's a non-group event.

2012-12-10perf evsel: Introduce method to request IDs be usedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When mmaping multiple events we need to find the right evsel that matches an event in the ring buffer. For that we need to set the PERF_FORMAT_ID bit in perf_event_attr.read_format so that when we read the event fds we get that id to then hash it and be able later to use perf_evlist__id2evsel to find the right evsel. We also need to set the PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit in perf_event_attr.sample_type to ask for that id to be stashed in each sample, so that we can demux it. So add a perf_evsel__set_sample_id() method to do those two things in one operation.

Convert perf_evsel__is_group_member to perf_evsel__is_group_leader.

2012-11-19perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration appliedDavid Howells
Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order - and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead. Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include. This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally, we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI - at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards *should* be transferred there. I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this be changed to use -MD? Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain bisectability. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2012-11-14perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record commandJiri Olsa
Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled. There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced program got executed. What we actually want is: 1) For any type of traced program: - all independent events and group leaders are disabled - all group members are enabled Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that. 2) For traced programs executed by perf: - all independent events and group leaders have enable_on_exec set - we don't specifically enable or disable any event during the record command Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group leaders as stated in 1). 3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid): - we specifically enable or disable all events during the record command When attaching events to already running traced we enable/disable events specifically, as there's no initial traced exec call. Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'. Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both 'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}' defined groups as they don't set 'group' option. Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is common to both group definition. Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group leader links in place.

It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to check that the name is the expected one.

2012-08-14perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed eventsJiri Olsa
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

2012-08-11perf tools: Support for DWARF mode callchainJiri Olsa
This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code. It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments: 'fp' - provides framepointer based user stack backtrace 'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack backtrace. The size specifies the size of the user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default. If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option in any case. Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind) perf record -g dwarf ls - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size perf record -g -- ls perf record -g fp ls - provides frame pointer unwind Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "Frank Ch.

2012-06-25perf evsel: Fix a build failure on cross compilationNamhyung Kim
The commit c410431cefefd ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2. However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like: CC util/evsel.o util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1 Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already included the perf_event.h. So simply remove it would solve the problem.

The modifiers: k kernel space u user space h hypervisor G guest H host p, pp, ppp precision level (PEBS) that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name() to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data file. Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current codebase, so: $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist instructions:u $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:k $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kh $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cache-misses:G $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kpp $ Also works with 'top', 'report', etc. More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix for v3.5.
