2013-11-05perf tools: Check maximum frequency rate for record/topJiri Olsa1-0/+71
Adding the check for maximum allowed frequency rate defined in following file: /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error message with advise. $ perf record -F 3000 ls Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached. Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate. In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the current maximum. $ perf record ls Lowering default frequency rate to 2000. Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate. Same messages are used for 'perf top'.

2013-08-29perf tools: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIERAdrian Hunter1-3/+86
Enable parsing of samples with sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. In addition, if the kernel supports it, prefer it to selecting PERF_SAMPLE_ID thereby allowing non-matching sample types.

2013-08-29perf evlist: Move perf_evlist__config() to a new source fileAdrian Hunter1-0/+25
perf_evlist__config() must be moved to a separate source file to avoid Python link errors when adding support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. It is appropriate to do this because perf_evlist__config() is a helper function for event recording. It is used by tools to apply recording options to perf_evlist. It is not used by the Python API.
