2012-08-22perf tools: Add pmu mappings to header informationRobert Richter
With dynamic pmu allocation there are also dynamically assigned pmu ids. These ids are used in event->attr.type to describe the pmu to be used for that event. The information is available in sysfs, e.g: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/breakpoint/type: 5 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/type: 4 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/type: 6 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/type: 7 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/software/type: 1 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/tracepoint/type: 2 These mappings are needed to know which samples belong to which pmu. If a pmu is added dynamically like for ibs_fetch or ibs_op the type value may vary. Now, when decoding samples from perf.data this information in sysfs might be no longer available or may have changed. We need to store it in perf.data. Using the header for this. Now the header information created with perf report contains an additional section looking like this: # pmu mappings: ibs_op = 7, ibs_fetch = 6, cpu = 4, breakpoint = 5, tracepoint = 2, software = 1 Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1345144224-27280-9-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2012-06-29perf tools: Fix generation of pmu listRobert Richter
The internal pmu list was never used. With each perf_pmu__find() call the pmu structure was created new by parsing sysfs. Beside this it caused memory leaks. We now keep all pmus by adding them to the list. Also, pmu_lookup() should return pmus that do not expose the format specifier in sysfs. We need a valid internal pmu list in a later patch to iterate over all pmus that exist in the system.

2012-06-18perf/tool: Add PMU event alias supportZheng Yan
Add support to specify alias term within the event description. The definition of pmu event alias is located at: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/events/ Each file in the 'events' directory defines a event alias. Its contents are like: config=1,config1=2 Using pmu event alias, an event can be now specified like: uncore/CLOCKTICKS/ or uncore/event=CLOCKTICKS/ Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan <zheng.z.yan@intel.com> [ Cleaned it up. ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1339741902-8449-13-git-send-email-zheng.z.yan@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2012-05-22perf tools: Add hardcoded name term for pmu eventsJiri Olsa
Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no 'name' term is given, the event name follows following template: "raw 0x<perf_event_attr::config>" running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 krava1 ... running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 raw 0x1 ...

2012-05-18perf tools: Split term type into value type and term typeJiri Olsa
Introducing type_val and type_term for term instead of a single type value. Currently the term type marked out the value type as well. With this change we can have future string term values being specified by user and translated into proper number along the processing.

2012-03-16perf tools: Add perf pmu object to access pmu format definitionJiri Olsa
Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs event format definition located at: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format Following interface is exported: struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name); - this function returns pmu object, which is then passed as a handle to other interface functions int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr, struct list_head *head_terms); - this function configures perf_event_attr struct based on pmu's format definitions and config terms data, containined in head_terms list. Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition. The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule 'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex sources. Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could be run like: perf test pmu Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-errz96u1668gj9wlop1zhpht@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
