2009-06-10perf_counter tools: Propagate signals properlyPeter Zijlstra
Currently report and stat catch SIGINT (and others) without altering their exit state. This means that things like: while :; do perf stat ./foo ; done Loops become hard-to-interrupt, because bash never sees perf terminate due to interruption. Fix this.

2009-06-07perf stat: Continue even on counter creation errorIngo Molnar
Before: $ perf stat ~/hackbench 5 error: syscall returned with -1 (No such device) After: $ perf stat ~/hackbench 5 Time: 1.640 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 5': 6524.570382 task-clock-ticks # 3.838 CPU utilization factor 35704 context-switches # 0.005 M/sec 191 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 8958 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec <not counted> cycles <not counted> instructions <not counted> cache-references <not counted> cache-misses Wall-clock time elapsed: 1699.999995 msecs Also add -v (--verbose) option to allow the printing of failed counter opens. Plus dont print 'inf' if wall-time is zero (due to jiffies granularity), instead skip the printing of the CPU utilization factor.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/Ingo Molnar
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
