      perf record: No build id option fails · d3665498
      David Ahern 提交于
      A recent refactoring of perf-record introduced the following:
      
      perf record -a -B
      Couldn't generating buildids. Use --no-buildid to profile anyway.
      sleep: Terminated
      
      I believe the triple negative was meant to be only a double negative.
      :-) While I'm there, fixed the grammar on the error message.

      perf tools: fix endianness detection in perf.data · 73323f54
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The current version of perf detects whether or not the perf.data file is
      written in a different endianness using the attr_size field in the
      header of the file. This field represents sizeof(struct perf_event_attr)
      as known to perf record. If the sizes do not match, then perf tries the
      byte-swapped version. If they match, then the tool assumes a different
      endianness.
      
      The issue with the approach is that it assumes the size of
      perf_event_attr always has to match between perf record and perf report.
      However, the kernel perf_event ABI is extensible.  New fields can be
      added to struct perf_event_attr. Consequently, it is not possible to use
      attr_size to detect endianness.
      
      This patch takes another approach by using the magic number written at
      the beginning of the perf.data file to detect endianness. The magic
      number is an eight-byte signature.  It's primary purpose is to identify
      (signature) a perf.data file. But it could also be used to encode the
      endianness.
      
      The patch introduces a new value for this signature. The key difference
      is that the signature is written differently in the file depending on
      the endianness. Thus, by comparing the signature from the file with the
      tool's own signature it is possible to detect endianness. The new
      signature is "PERFILE2".
      
      Backward compatiblity with existing perf.data file is ensured.

      x86/sched/perf/AMD: Set sched_clock_stable · c98fdeaa
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Stephane Eranian reported that doing a scheduler latency
      measurements with perf on AMD doesn't work out as expected due
      to the fact that the sched_clock() granularity is too coarse,
      i.e. done in jiffies due to the sched_clock_stable not set,
      which, if set, would mean that we get to use the TSC as sample
      source which would give us much higher precision.
      
      However, there's no reason not to set sched_clock_stable on AMD
      because all families from F10h and upwards do have an invariant
      TSC and have the CPUID flag to prove (CPUID_8000_0007_EDX[8]).
      
      Make it so, #1.
