      perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types · 8326f44d
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
      method.
      
      This is a 3-dimensional space:
      
             { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
             { load, store, prefetch } x
             { accesses, misses }
      
      User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
      a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
      combination makes sense.)
      
      Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
      Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
      
      Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
      parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
      access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
      both valid aliases.
      
      ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
        and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

      perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config · a21ca2ca
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
      bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.
      
      Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.
      
      Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
      all around counter attribute management.
      
      The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
      to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).
      
      (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
      (PowerPC build-tested.)

      perf_counter tools: Use hex2u64 in more places · a0055ae2
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      This has also a nice side effect, tools built on newer systems such as
      fedora 10 again work on systems with older versions of glibc:
      
      My workstation:
      
      [acme@doppio ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
      glibc-2.9-3.x86_64
      
      Test machine:
      
      [acme@emilia ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
      glibc-2.5-24
      
      Before:
      
      [acme@emilia ~]$ perf
      perf: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by perf)
      [acme@emilia ~]$ nm `which perf` | grep GLIBC_2\.7
                       U __isoc99_sscanf@@GLIBC_2.7
      [acme@emilia ~]$
      
      After:
      [acme@emilia ~]$ perf
      usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
      
      The most commonly used perf commands are:
         record   Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
         report   Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the
      profile
         stat     Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
         top      Run a command and profile it
      
      See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
      [acme@emilia ~]$ nm `which perf` | grep GLIBC_2\.7
      [acme@emilia ~]$

      Remove getopt usage and use Git's much more advanced and more compact

      Extend the event parser library with the extensions that were in

      Extract the event string parser from builtin-record.c, and
      librarize it - to be reused in other commands.
