perf evlist: Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads (like perf record does)

2016-01-08T17:15:11+00:00

'perf record' uses perf_evsel__open() to open events and passes the
evsel->cpus and evsel->threads.  Many tests and some tools instead use
perf_evlist__open() which passes instead evlist->cpus and
evlist->threads.

Make perf_evlist__open() follow the 'perf record' behaviour so that a
consistent approach is taken.

perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__new_dummy constructor

2016-01-07T16:14:56+00:00

For case where all we need is an evlist with just an "dummy" evsel,
like in some 'perf test' entries.

perf evlist: Export id_add_fd()

2015-12-17T18:15:19+00:00

Will be used to storing the event IDs in evlist object so it get stored
into perf.data file.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf evlist: Factor perf_evlist__(enable|disable) functions

2015-12-07T21:12:58+00:00

Use perf_evsel__(enable|disable) functions in perf_evlist__(enable|disable)
functions in order to centralize ioctl enable/disable calls. This way we
eliminate 2 places calling directly ioctl.

perf tools: By default use the most precise "cycles" hw counter available

2015-09-30T21:34:39+00:00

If the user doesn't specify any event, try the most precise "cycles"
available, i.e. start by "cycles:ppp" and go on removing "p" till it
works.

E.g.

  $ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles:pp
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:pp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
  IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1,
  enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  $ grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | head -1
  model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz
  $

When 'cycles' appears explicitely is specified this will not be tried,
i.e. the user has full control of the level of precision to be used:

  $ perf record -e cycles usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
  IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1,
  enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2:
  1, comm_exec: 1
  $

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__remove()

2015-09-28T20:15:31+00:00

Add a counterpart to perf_evlist__add() that does the opposite and
deletes the evsel.

This will be used by perf inject to remove unwanted evsels.

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict()

2015-09-28T20:11:00+00:00

perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict() is the same as perf_evlist__id2evsel()
except that it ensures that the id must match.

This will be used by perf inject to find a specific evsel that is to be
deleted, hence the need to match exactly.
