perf tools: Fixup mmap event consumption

2013-10-28T19:06:00+00:00

The tail position of the event buffer should only be modified after
actually use that event.

If not the event buffer could be invalid before use, and segment fault
occurs when invoking perf top -G.

perf evlist: Fix id pos in perf_evlist__open()

2013-09-09T18:51:44+00:00

Ensure the id_pos is correct when perf_evlist__open() is used.

This fixes a problem introduced in 7556257 that broke 'perf kvm stat
live' in that this tool wasn't updated to use the sample_type bits
setting helpers.

perf evlist: Fix parsing with no sample_id_all bit set

2013-09-05T19:18:08+00:00

The perf_evlist__event2evsel() is changed to handle non-sample events
(such as mmap events) that have no id sample appended i.e. when
sample_id_all is not set.

Note that such events have a fixed format, so that the selected event
(evsel) they are associated with is immaterial.

perf tests: Add 'keep tracking' test

2013-09-02T17:58:20+00:00

Add a test for the newly added PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY event.  The test
checks that tracking events continue when an event is disabled but a
dummy software event is not disabled.

perf tools: Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER

2013-08-29T19:09:31+00:00

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.

perf evlist: Move perf_evlist__config() to a new source file

2013-08-29T18:49:10+00:00

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.

perf tools: Add debug prints

2013-08-16T20:17:58+00:00

It is useful to see the arguments to perf_event_open and whether the
perf events ring buffer was mmapped per-cpu or per-thread.

That information will now be displayed when verbose is 2 i.e option -vv.

perf evlist: Remove obsolete dummy execve

2013-08-07T20:35:28+00:00

Minor cleanup.

The dummy execve to pre-resolve the PLT is obsolete since
"enable_on_execve" was added. The counters are only
running after the execve anyways. So just remove it.
