2011-04-30perf stat: Tell user about unsupported events in the listDavid Ahern
Similar to perf-record, tell user about unsupported events that will not be counted if invoked in verbose mode. e.g., $ perf stat -e dTLB-prefetch-misses -v -- sleep 1 dTLB-prefetch-misses event is not supported by the kernel. dTLB-prefetch-misses: 0 0 0 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': <not counted> dTLB-prefetch-misses 1.001884783 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304114655-10600-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Recent stalled-cycles event names were larger than the 40 chars printout used by perf list. Extend that, make it robust for future extensions and also adjust alignments in face of wider event names.

2011-04-20perf script: improve validation of sample attributes for output fieldsDavid Ahern
Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from older kernel) the field is removed from the output list. Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events (ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file). Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather than for each sample. v1 -> v2: - addressed comments from acme Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1302148460-570-1-git-send-email-daahern@cisco.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <daahern@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2011-04-19perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibilityMichael Witten
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3 installed as the default python: python{,-config} The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that Python 3 works out-of-the-box. However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed: python2{,-config} Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit, the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations without the need for updating any PATH variable. This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG either as environment variables or as make variables on the command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly. Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables. In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

2011-04-19perf tools: Makefile: Clean up `python/perf.so' ruleMichael Witten
There is no need for a subshell or an explicit `export'; as per the POSIX Shell Command Language specification: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_01 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10_02 It is only necessary to include the environment variable assignment just before the command to be run. Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell could interpret within double-quotes.

2011-04-15perf hists browser: Fix seg fault when annotate null symbolLin Ming
In hists browser, press hotkey 'a' to annotate current symbol. Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol. Here are 2 small bugs: - In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map. - In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not before getting annotation structure. This patch fixes above 2 small bugs.

2011-04-05perf probe: Fix listing incorrect line number with inline functionMasami Hiramatsu
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new rules to get correct line number. - If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless. - If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset from the function entry. - If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should be 0). - If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the inline function call line number as the line on which the address is. - If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the (non-inlined) function.

2011-03-31perf: mmap 512 kiB by defaultFrederic Weisbecker
The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user did not override with -m. However the page size may vary accross different architecture settings, giving different default size between each. Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold. Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

2011-03-30perf script: If type not given fields apply to all event typesDavid Ahern
Allow: perf script -f <fields> to be equivalent to: perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields> i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string is not given. The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later usage can reset a prior request. e.g., -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is given to the user: "Overriding previous field request for all events." Alternativey, consider the order: -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace: The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given fields. For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that type. For example: perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring. 'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring. Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an error. For example: perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for software events. At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits. Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types. i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

2011-03-29perf symbols: Properly align symbol_conf.priv_sizeDavid S. Miller
If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated. We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a "struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be potentially unaligned.
