2016-02-18perf record: Add --all-user/--all-kernel optionsJiri Olsa
Allow user to easily switch all events to user or kernel space with simple --all-user or --all-kernel options. This will be handy within perf mem/c2c wrappers to switch easily monitoring modes. Committer note: Testing it: # perf record --all-kernel --all-user -a sleep 2 Error: option `all-user' cannot be used with all-kernel Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] --all-user Configure all used events to run in user space. --all-kernel Configure all used events to run in kernel space. # perf record --all-user --all-kernel -a sleep 2 Error: option `all-kernel' cannot be used with all-user Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] --all-kernel Configure all used events to run in kernel space. --all-user Configure all used events to run in user space. # perf record --all-user -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.416 MB perf.data (162 samples) ] # perf report | grep '\[k\]' # perf record --all-kernel -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.423 MB perf.data (296 samples) ] # perf report | grep '\[\.\]' # Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455525293-8671-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org [ Made those options to be mutually exclusive ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2015-08-31perf record: Add ability to name registers to recordStephane Eranian
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si. The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the registers used to passed arguements to functions. With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers based on the architecture. To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option, i.e., --intr-regs: $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 ..... To record any possible registers: $ perf record -I ..... $ perf report --intr-regs ... To display the register, one can use perf report -D To list the available registers: $ perf record --intr-regs=\? available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441039273-16260-4-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-04-29perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recordingAdrian Hunter
Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing AUX area tracing events. This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data. Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording callbacks. Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options, populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the structure when finished.

2014-03-14perf bench: Add futex-hash microbenchmarkDavidlohr Bueso
Introduce futexes to perf-bench and add a program that stresses and measures the kernel's implementation of the hash table. This is a multi-threaded program that simply measures the amount of failed futex wait calls - we only want to deal with the hashing overhead, so a negative return of futex_wait_setup() is enough to do the trick. An example run: $ perf bench futex hash -t 32 Run summary [PID 10989]: 32 threads, each operating on 1024 [private] futexes for 10 secs.

2013-02-06perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmapsDavid Ahern
I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where the event type is off the charts: (gdb) bt \#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225 \#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520, file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884 \#2 0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555 \#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645 This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once -- before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to be sane at that time. There seem to be 2 causes: 1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the ordered samples queue. 2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries. event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer boundary. This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer fails. The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a future patch.
