The second approach is to explicitly specify the PKG_CONFIG variables, which is widely used in build system (like Buildroot, Yocto, etc).

By default, perf sched map prints sched-in events for all the tasks which may not be required all the time as it prints lot of symbols and rows to the terminal. With --task-name option, one could specify the specific task name for which the map has to be shown. This would help in analyzing the CPU usage patterns easier for that specific task. Since multiple PID's might have the same task name, using task-name filter would be more useful for debugging. For other tasks, instead of printing the symbol, '-' is printed and the same '.' is used to represent idle. '-' is used instead of symbol for other tasks because it helps in clear visualization of task of interest and secondly the symbol itself doesn't mean anything because the sched-in of that symbol will not be printed(first sched-in contains pid and the corresponding symbol). When using the --task-name option, the sched-out time is represented by a '*-'. Since not all task sched-in events are printed, the sched-out time of the relevant task might be lost. This representation ensures that the sched-out time of the interested task is not overlooked. 6.10.0-rc1 ========== *A0 131040.639793 secs A0 => migration/0:19 *. 131040.639801 secs . => swapper:0 . *B0 131040.639830 secs B0 => migration/1:24 . *. 131040.639836 secs . . *C0 131040.640108 secs C0 => migration/2:30 . . *. 131040.640163 secs . . . *D0 131040.640386 secs D0 => migration/3:36 . . . *. 131040.640395 secs 6.10.0-rc1 + patch (--task-name wdavdaemon) ============= . *A0 . . . . - . 131040.641346 secs A0 => wdavdaemon:62509 .

Currently, the -r/--repeat option accepts values from 0 and complains for -1. The help section specifies: -r, --repeat <n> repeat the workload replay N times (-1: infinite) The -r -1 option raises an error because replay_repeat is defined as an unsigned int. In the current implementation, the workload is repeated n times when -r <n> is used, except when n is 0. When -r is set to 0, the workload is also repeated once. This happens because when -r=0, the run_one_test function is not called. (Note that mutex unlocking, which is essential for child threads spawned to emulate the workload, happens in run_one_test.) However, mutex unlocking is still performed in the destroy_tasks function. Thus, -r=0 results in the workload running once coincidentally. To clarify and maintain the existing logic for -r >= 1 (which runs the workload the specified number of times) and to fix the issue with infinite runs, make -r=0 perform an infinite run.

When using perf timehist, sch delay is only computed for a waking task, not for a pre empted task. This patches changes sch delay to account for both. This makes sense as testing scheduling policy need to consider the effect of scheduling delay globally, not only for waking tasks. Example of `perf timehist` report before the patch for `stress` task competing with each other. First column is wait time, second column sch delay, third column runtime. 1.492060 [0000] s stress[81] 1.999 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[83] 1.494060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[81] 1.496060 [0000] s stress[81] 2.000 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[83] 1.498060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 0.000 1.999 R next: stress[81] After the patch, it looks like this (note that all wait time is not zero anymore): 1.492060 [0000] s stress[81] 1.999 1.999 2.000 R next: stress[83] 1.494060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 2.000 2.000 R next: stress[81] 1.496060 [0000] s stress[81] 2.000 2.000 2.000 R next: stress[83] 1.498060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 2.000 1.999 R next: stress[81] Signed-off-by: Fernand Sieber <sieberf@amazon.com> Reviewed-by: Madadi Vineeth Reddy <vineethr@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240618090339.87482-1-sieberf@amazon.com

Allow filters to be added to perf top events. One use is to workaround issues with: ``` $ perf top --uid="$(id -u)" ``` which tries to scan /proc find processes belonging to the uid and can fail in such a pid terminates between the scan and the perf_event_open reporting: ``` Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:P). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. ``` A similar filter: ``` $ perf top -e cycles:P --filter "uid == $(id -u)" ``` doesn't fail this way.
