perf sched: Fix build failure on sparc

2009-12-14T07:59:12+00:00

Here, tvec->tv_usec is "unsigned int" not "unsigned long".

Since the type is different on every platform, it's probably
best to just use long printf formats and cast.

perf bench: Add "all" pseudo subsystem and "all" pseudo suite

2009-12-14T07:51:19+00:00

This patch adds a new "all" pseudo subsystem and an "all" pseudo
suite. These are for testing all subsystem and its all suite, or
all suite of one subsystem.

(This patch also contains a few trivial comment fixes for
bench/* and output style fixes. I judged that there are no
necessity to make them into individual patch.)

Example of use:

| % ./perf bench sched all                      # Test all suites of sched subsystem
| # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
| # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
| # 10 groups == 400 processes run
|
|      Total time: 0.414 [sec]
|
| # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
| # Extecuted 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks

perf tools: Introduce zalloc() for the common calloc(1, N) case

2009-11-24T15:37:02+00:00

This way we type less characters and it looks more like the
kzalloc kernel counterpart.

perf bench: Make the mem/memcpy tests more user-friendly

2009-11-22T08:41:06+00:00

mem-memcpy.c uses perf event system calls to obtain CPU clocks.
And it suddenly dies with BUG_ON() when it running on Linux
doesn't support perf event.

Also fail at calloc() can occur easily when too large
length is passed. Fail of calloc() causes sudden death
with assert().

These behaviours are not friendly. So I fixed the treating of
errors.

perf bench: Add memcpy() benchmark

2009-11-19T05:21:48+00:00

'perf bench mem memcpy' is a benchmark suite for measuring memcpy()
performance.

Example on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz:

| % perf bench mem memcpy -l 1GB
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 1MB Bytes from 0xb7d98008 to 0xb7e99008 ...

perf bench: Improve sched-message.c with more comfortable output

2009-11-10T18:56:46+00:00

This patch improves sched-message.c with more comfortable output.

Change points are comment style description and
formatting numerical values and its units.

Example:

 | # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
 | # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
 | # 10 groups == 400 processes run

perf bench: Clean up bench/bench.h

2009-11-10T13:14:35+00:00

Clean up initializers in bench.h:

  - No need to break the line for function prototypes, they are more
    readable in a single line. (even if checkpatch complains about it

  - We try to align definitions / structure fields vertically,
    to make it  all a bit more readable.

perf bench: Modify builtin-pipe.c for processing common options

2009-11-10T03:53:49+00:00

This patch modifies builtin-pipe.c for processing common
options. The first option added is "--format".
Users of perf bench will be able to specify output style by
--format.

Usage example:

 % ./perf bench sched pipe		# with no style specify
 (executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)

         Total time:5.855 sec
                 5.855061 usecs/op
                 170792 ops/sec

 % ./perf bench --format=simple sched pipe # specified simple
