| * | sched: Get rid of lock_depthJonathan Corbet2011-04-242-2/+0
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL removal work. Let's get rid of it now. Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with older kernels.

* perf script: Support custom field selection for outputDavid Ahern2011-03-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data. Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id), time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for trace data). Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command and pid/tid.

* perf tool: Add cgroup supportStephane Eranian2011-02-162-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of cgroup names. The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It then passes that file descriptor to the kernel. Example: $ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 2,368,667,414 cycles test1 2,369,661,459 cycles <not counted> cycles test2 1.001856890 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590290.825bdf0a.7d0a.4890@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* perf record: Add "nodelay" mode, disabled by defaultKirill Smelkov2011-01-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because perf-record reads sample data in whole pages. So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay" mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running Use it with something like this: (1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>' goto error; } 38 if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph))) goto error; icmph = icmp_hdr(skb); 43 ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type); /* * 18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type.

* perf symbols: Add symfs option for off-box analysis using specified treeDavid Ahern2010-12-213-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds, sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a local data store with build-ids. Commiter notes: o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling. o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files outside the symfs directory.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add basic module probe support on perf probe.

* perf tools: Add --tui and --stdio to choose the UIArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-08-212-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Relying just on ~/.perfconfig or rebuilding the tool disabling support for the TUI is too cumbersome, so allow specifying which UI to use and make the command line switch override whatever is in ~/.perfconfig.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add array-entry tracing support to perf probe. This enables to trace an entry of array which is indexed by constant value, e.g. array[0].

* perf probe: Support "string" typeMasami Hiramatsu2010-07-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char *(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer. So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string' Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100519195734.2885.1666.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf probe: Add kernel source path optionChase Douglas2010-06-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags, but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to specify the root of the kernel source tree.

* perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cacheStephane Eranian2010-06-171-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images). A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file, simply do: [buildid] dir = /dev/null This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still generated in the perf.data file. Cc: David S.
