2009-06-11perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usageIngo Molnar
A build error slipped in: builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’: builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’ Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks, because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64 instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64), or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

Also employ the overflow handler to adjust the frequency, this results in a stable frequency in about 40~50 samples, instead of that many ticks.

2009-06-07perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshotFrederic Weisbecker
The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have been read in the mapped perfcounter files. Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate. Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before "print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it. Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case of high samples filters. Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default case.

2009-06-06perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directoryIngo Molnar
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because we dont know where to look for the vmlinux. The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in. The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that tools can pick it up automatically.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Prepare for 'perf annotate'Ingo Molnar
Prepare for the 'perf annotate' implementation by splitting off builtin-annotate.c from builtin-report.c.

2009-06-06perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event typesIngo Molnar
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE method. This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
