perf machine: Introduce find_thread method

2012-10-06T19:33:22+00:00

There are cases where we want just to find a thread if it exists
already, so provide a method for that.

While doing that start moving 'machine' methods to a separate file.

perf kvm: Events analysis tool

2012-09-21T15:51:22+00:00

Add 'perf kvm stat' support to analyze kvm vmexit/mmio/ioport smartly

Usage:
- kvm stat
  run a command and gather performance counter statistics, it is the alias of
  perf stat

- trace kvm events:
  perf kvm stat record, or, if other tracepoints are interesting as well, we
  can append the events like this:
  perf kvm stat record -e timer:* -a

  If many guests are running, we can track the specified guest by using -p or
  --pid, -a is used to track events generated by all guests.

- show the result:
  perf kvm stat report

The output example is following:
13005
13059

total 2 guests are running on the host

Then, track the guest whose pid is 13059:
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.253 MB perf.data.guest (~11065 samples) ]

perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_ops

2011-11-28T12:39:12+00:00

Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the
classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

perf threads: Move thread_map to separate file

2011-01-24T12:59:00+00:00

To untangle it from struct thread handling, that is tied to symbols, etc.

Right now in the python bindings I'm working on I need just a subset of
the util/ files, untangling it allows me to do that.

perf tools: Refactor all_tids to hold nr and the map

2011-01-04T02:24:16+00:00

So that later, we can pass the thread_map instance instead of
(thread_num, thread_map) for things like perf_evsel__open and friends,
just like was done with cpu_map.

perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXIT

2010-07-30T21:28:42+00:00

For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the
amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much.

Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can
just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit
(PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received.

For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus
hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be
done in a followup patch.

perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXIT

2010-06-17T11:37:44+00:00

Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.

This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.

The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.

perf symbols: Move map related routines to map.c

2010-03-26T07:52:58+00:00

Thru series of refactorings functions were being renamed but not
moved to map.c to reduce patch noise, now lets have them in the
same place so that use of the symbol system by tools can be
constrained to building and linking fewer source files:
symbol.c, map.c and rbtree.c.
