2015-08-06perf tools: Extend the event parser maximum error indexAdrian Hunter1-1/+1
Extend the event parser maximum error index from 10 to 13. That allows PMU config terms of up to 10 characters to display un-truncated in the error message.

2015-08-05perf tools: Per-event time supportKan Liang1-0/+12
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

2015-07-29perf tools: Force period term to overload global settingsJiri Olsa1-1/+2
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period settings: With no global settings, we get per-event configuration: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ... This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option setup: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current 'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-). Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

2015-07-20perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perfWang Nan1-13/+70
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself by '--exclude-perf' option. Before this patch, when doing something like: # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd> One could easily get result like this: # /tmp/perf report --stdio ... # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... .................. .................... # 99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel 0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write 0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write ... Where most events are generated by perf itself. A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out: # cat << EOF > ./tmp > #!/bin/sh > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10 > EOF # chmod a+x ./tmp # ./tmp However, doing so is user unfriendly. This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector. To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf', this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They are combinded with '&&'.

2015-07-20perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matchingWang Nan1-9/+21
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add '--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one. For example: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & [1] 464 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 2092 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ... In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'. This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and apply filter on all events between two boundary marks. After applying this patch: # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 1 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ...

2015-04-29perf tools: Add parse_events_error interfaceJiri Olsa1-8/+92
Adding support to return error information from parse_events function. Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return: struct parse_events_error { int idx; char *str; char *help; }; where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed, 'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error and 'help' is optional help string. The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls event syntax error: 'sched:krava' \___ unknown tracepoint ... $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type ... $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises' \___ parser error ...

2014-10-15perf tools: Parse the pmu event prefix and suffixKan Liang1-0/+117
There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style format as two events. The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events. The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime. Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as "a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and "stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify: intel_pt// which will be the same as: intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/ meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return compression'. An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

2014-09-17perf tools: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config termsAdrian Hunter1-0/+6
This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form: pmu// which is effectively the same as: pmu/config=0/ This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU. Further explanation extracted from lkml thread: Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist. Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would not know how to decode them. Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'. It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot turn it on by default. It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by default. The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

2014-02-10perf list: Fix checking for supported events on older kernelsVince Weaver1-2/+15
"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices. The change enabling event detection: commit b41f1cec91c37eeea6fdb15effbfa24ea0a5536b Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Date: Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900 perf list: Skip unsupported events uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = type, .config = config, .disabled = 1, .exclude_kernel = 1, }; On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these machines don't support .exclude_kernel. So starting with 3.12 "perf list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc). This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

2013-11-11perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructorArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+3
Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need for passing the constructor for the common case. We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled, with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist, partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list. This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx setting.

2013-08-07perf tools: Add support for pinned modifierMichael Ellerman1-1/+10
This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU. The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in future to mean "fully precise". So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you. This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for instructions per cycle. Comparison of results with and without pinning: $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,... 79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz 166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn 79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%] 165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%] As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy. The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a group.

2013-08-07perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample valueJiri Olsa1-1/+7
Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period value offered by lower layers. There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...

Be more explicit with where memory is allocated and who should free it. With this patch the list_head is allocated in the scanner code and freed when the scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists.

2013-07-12perf tools: Don't free list head in parse_events__free_termsDavid Ahern1-2/+0
Function should only be freeing the entries in the list in case of failure, as those were allocated there, not the list_head itself.
