2012-07-05perf tools: Split event symbols arrays to hw and sw partsJiri Olsa
It'll be convenient in upcoming patch to access hw event symbols strings via enum perf_hw_id indexes. In order not to duplicate the data, creating two separate arrays: event_symbols_hw for enum perf_hw_id events event_symbols_sw for enum perf_sw_ids events Changing the current event list code to follow the change.

2012-07-02perf bench: Fix confused variable namings and descriptions in mem subsystemHitoshi Mitake
As Namhyung Kim pointed, there are confused namings and descriptions of words "cycle" and "clock" in mem-memset.c and mem-memcpy.c. With the option "-c" (or "--clock", now renamed as "--cycle"), mem subsystem measures cost of memset() and memcpy() with cpu-cycles event. But current mem subsystem source code contains lots of confused variable namings and descriptions with "clock" (e.g. the variable use_clock). This is a very bad style because there is another software event named "cpu-clock". This patch replaces wrong usage of "clock" to "cycle". v2: modified Documentation/perf-bench.txt for the descriptions of --cycle option Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <h.mitake@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1341236777-18457-1-git-send-email-h.mitake@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2012-07-02perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creationDavid Ahern
Commit 743eb868657bdb1b26c7b24077ca21c67c82c777 reworked when the machines were created. Prior to this commit guest machines could be created in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap() while processing kernel MMAP events. This commit assumes that the machines exist by the time perf_session_deliver_event is called (e.g., during processing of build id events) - which is not always correct. One example is the use of default guest args (--guestkallsyms and --guestmodules) for short times where no samples hit within a guest module. For this case no build id is added to the file header. No build id == no machine created. That leads to the next example -- the use of no-buildid (-B) on the record for all perf-kvm invocations. In both cases perf report dies with a SEGFAULT of the form: (gdb) bt 0 0x000000000046dd7b in machine__mmap_name (self=0x0, bf=0x7fffffffbd20 "q\021", size=4096) at util/map.c:715 1 0x0000000000444161 in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap (tool=0x7fffffffdd80, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, machine=0x0) at util/event.c:562 2 0x0000000000444642 in perf_event__process_mmap (tool=0x7fffffffdd80, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, sample=0x7fffffffd210, machine=0x0) at util/event.c:668 3 0x0000000000470e0b in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x915ca0, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, sample=0x7fffffffd210, tool=0x7fffffffdd80, file_offset=8480) at util/session.c:979 4 0x000000000047032e in flush_sample_queue (s=0x915ca0, tool=0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:679 5 0x0000000000471c8d in __perf_session__process_events (session=0x915ca0, data_offset=400, data_size=150448, file_size=150848, tool= 0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:1363 6 0x0000000000471d42 in perf_session__process_events (self=0x915ca0, tool=0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:1379 7 0x000000000042484a in __cmd_report (rep=0x7fffffffdd80) at builtin-report.c:368 8 0x0000000000425bf1 in cmd_report (argc=0, argv=0x915b00, prefix=0x0) at builtin-report.c:756 9 0x0000000000438505 in __cmd_report (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at builtin-kvm.c:84 10 0x000000000043882a in cmd_kvm (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffe260, prefix=0x0) at builtin-kvm.c:131 11 0x00000000004152cd in run_builtin (p=0x7a54e8, argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:273 12 0x00000000004154c7 in handle_internal_command (argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:345 13 0x0000000000415613 in run_argv (argcp=0x7fffffffe14c, argv=0x7fffffffe140) at perf.c:389 14 0x0000000000415899 in main (argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:487 Fix by allowing the machine to be created in perf_session_deliver_event.

The pipeline: perf record -a -g -o - sleep 5 |perf inject -v -b | perf report -g -i - generates the warning: Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?

For pipe mode, record dumps the sample type as part of the synthesized events stream -- perf_event__synthesize_attrs().

2012-06-27perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description listArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single global pevent variable and use the per session one. Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not interested at all in what is present in the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis, just in what is in the perf.data file. This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

2012-06-25perf evsel: Fix a build failure on cross compilationNamhyung Kim
The commit c410431cefefd ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2. However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like: CC util/evsel.o util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1 Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already included the perf_event.h. So simply remove it would solve the problem.

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms. The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's already support for this in event grammar. Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly. Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported: PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part of the grammar for term parsing.

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same tracepoint ID -> real event association.

2012-06-11perf stat: Fix default output fileStephane Eranian
The following commit: commit 56f3bae70638b33477a6015fd362ccfe354fd3ee Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Date: Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600 perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default, i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf stat via redirection: perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log .... They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do: perf stat 0>/tmp/log ... This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very natural. This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive. Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored. I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific issue.
