perf tools: Fix compile error on x86_64 Ubuntu

2012-01-08T15:34:55+00:00

The ctype.h include is not needed here and it breaks build on some systems (at
least 64bit Ubuntu 10.04) like below. Just get rid of it.

    CC util/trace-event-info.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/trace-event-info.c: In function ‘record_file’:
util/trace-event-info.c:192: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pwrite’
util/trace-event-info.c:192: error: nested extern declaration of ‘pwrite’
make: *** [util/trace-event-info.o] Error 1

perf report: Fix --stdio output alignment when --showcpuutilization used

2012-01-08T15:32:51+00:00

Current perf report output is broken if --showcpuutilization is used.
Combination with -n and/or --show-total-period make things worse.
This patch fixes it as follows:

before:
    48.25%    48.25%     0.00%    sleep  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] trace_hardirqs_off
    34.99%    34.99%     0.00%    sleep  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __find_get_block_slow
    15.99%    15.99%     0.00%    sleep  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] lock_release_holdtime
     0.77%     0.77%     0.00%    sleep  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe

perf tools: Add support for guest/host-only profiling

2012-01-06T17:49:49+00:00

To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces
two new event modifiers: G and H.

With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

perf kvm: Do guest-only counting by default

2012-01-06T17:47:37+00:00

Make use of exclude_guest and exlude_host in perf-kvm to do only
guest-only counting by default.

perf hists: Stop using 'self' for struct hist_entry

2012-01-06T17:42:52+00:00

Stop using this python/OOP convention, doesn't really helps. Will do
more from time to time till we get it cleaned up in all of /perf.

perf hists: Rename total_session to total_period

2012-01-06T17:42:08+00:00

Nowadays we do it per evsel, not per session (that may have multiple
evsels), so rename it to avoid confusion.

it was 0 and never changed.

perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events

2011-12-23T19:05:48+00:00

The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This
patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than
tracepoints too.

This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf
for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments
containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and
raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding.
The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can
also be generated with perf script:

 # Packed byte string args of process_event():
 #
 # $event:       union perf_event        util/event.h
 # $attr:        struct perf_event_attr  linux/perf_event.h
 # $sample:      struct perf_sample      util/event.h
 # $raw_data:    perf_sample->raw_data   util/event.h

 sub process_event
 {
         my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_;

         my @event       = unpack("LSS", $event);
         my @attr        = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr);
         my @sample      = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample);
         my @raw_data    = unpack("C*", $raw_data);

         use Data::Dumper;
         print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data;
 }

implementation to use it.
