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: Always record tracepoints raw samples from perf recordFrederic Weisbecker

2010-04-15perf: Make -f the default for perf recordFrederic Weisbecker
Force the overwriting mode by default if append mode is not explicit. Adding -f every time one uses perf on a daily basis quickly becomes a burden. Keep the -f among the options though to avoid breaking some random users scripts.

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. To fix this, use strncmp to only check if it starts with "__data_loc".

2010-04-14perf probe: Support DW_OP_call_frame_cfa in debuginfoMasami Hiramatsu
When building kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, gcc uses CFA (canonical frame address) for frame base.

2010-04-14perf trace: Invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specifiedTom Zanussi
Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g. $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i - In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require the user to type and remember more than necessary. This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the same command as above can be accomplished more simply as: $ perf trace rwtop 5 Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case - they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are passed along to the report script (but not to the record script). The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to 'perf trace'.

2010-04-14perf trace/scripting: Add rwtop and sctop scriptsTom Zanussi
A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that demonstrate 'live mode' tracing. For each, the output of the perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval. After the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared and the cycle begins anew. To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report' step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i: $ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i - Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the screen.

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.

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.

2010-04-04perf: Swap inclusion order of util.h and string.h in util/string.cHitoshi Mitake
Currently util/string.c includes headers in this order: string.h, util.h But this causes a build error because __USE_GNU definition is needed for strndup() definition: % make -j touch .perf.dev.null CC util/string.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/string.c: In function ‘argv_split’: util/string.c:171: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strndup’ util/string.c:171: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strndup’ So this patch swaps the headers inclusion order. util.h defines _GNU_SOURCE, and /usr/include/features.h defines __USE_GNU as 1 if _GNU_SOURCE is defined.

Now one can press the right arrow key and in addition to being able to filter by DSO, filter out by thread too, or a combination of both filters. With this one can start collecting events for the whole system, then focus on a subset of the collected data quickly.

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>
