2015-02-27perf list: Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefixYunlong Song1-3/+1
If somebody happens to name an event with the beginning of 'tracepoint' (e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for accuracy. Example: Before this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* jbd2:jbd2_start_commit [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_run_stats [Tracepoint event] block:block_rq_issue [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_getrq [Tracepoint event] ... ... As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo. After this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter [Tracepoint event] tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_exit [Tracepoint event] As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.

2015-02-13perf list: Place the header text in its right positionYunlong Song1-0/+3
The hearer text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g. 'perf list hw' shows no guiding text at all, and 'perf list hw L1-dcache*' shows the guiding text incorrectly in the middle of the output. Example Before this patch: $ perf list hw L1-dcache* branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event] List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): <-- incorrect position L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event] After this patch: $ perf list hw L1-dcache* List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): <-- correct position branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event] branch-misses [Hardware event] bus-cycles [Hardware event] cache-misses [Hardware event] cache-references [Hardware event] cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event] instructions [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event] stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event] L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event] L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event] Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> Cc: Wang Nan <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
2015-01-02perf list: Fix --raw-dump optionTaesoo Kim1-3/+10
Currently, 'perf list --raw-dump' requires extra arguments (e.g., hw) to invoke, which breaks bash/zsh completion (perf-completion.sh). $ perf list --raw-dump Error: unknown option `raw-dump' usage: perf list [hw|sw|cache|tracepoint|pmu|event_glob] After, $ perf list --raw-dump cpu-cycles instructions cache-references cache-misses ...

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea1-1/+1
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2012-08-09perf tools: Support for events bash completionFrederic Weisbecker1-6/+8
Add basic bash completion for the -e option in record, top and stat subcommands. Only hardware, software and tracepoint events are supported. Breakpoints, raw events and events grouping completion need more thinking.
