      perf stat: handle ENXIO error for perf_event_open · 20d23aaa
      David Ahern 提交于
      perf stat on PPC currently fails to run:

      perf stat: Fix case where guest/host monitoring is not supported by kernel · 5622c07b
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      By default, perf stat sets exclude_guest = 1. But when you run perf on a
      kernel which does not support  host/guest filtering, then you get an
      error saying the event in unsupported. This comes from the fact that
      when the perf_event_attr struct passed by the user is larger than the
      one known to the kernel there is safety check which ensures that all
      unknown bits are zero. But here, exclude_guest is 1 (part of the unknown
      bits) and thus the perf_event_open() syscall return EINVAL.
      
      To my surprise, running perf record on the same kernel did not exhibit
      the problem. The reason is that perf record handles the problem by
      catching the error and retrying with guest/host excludes set to zero.
      For some reason, this was not done with perf stat. This patch fixes this
      problem.

      perf stat: Fix event grouping on forked task · 4c19ea45
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task was
      specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
      However they are not counted at all since only group leader will be
      enabled on exec actually. So the result looked like below:
      
       $ ./perf stat --group -- sleep 1
      
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported" · 38f6ae1e
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      perf stat is failing on PowerPC:

      commit 370faf1d (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events)
      added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend
      returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the
      same.

      perf stat: Add noise output for csv mode · 3ae9a34d

      Previously, when you want perf-stat to output the statistics in
      csv mode, no information of the noise will be printed out.
      
      For example right now we output this --repeat information:
      
       ./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1

      With this patch, the output will be appended with an additional
      entry for the noise value:

      Also clean up the attribute construction code to be appending, and factor
      it out into add_default_attributes().
      
      Tweak the coverage percentage printout a bit, so that it's easier to view it
      alongside the +- sttddev colum.

      perf stat: Fix compatibility behavior · ede70290
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Instead of failing on an unknown event, when new perf stat is run on
      older kernels:
      
        $ ./perf stat true
        Error: open_counter returned with 22 (Invalid argument). /bin/dmesg
        may provide additional information.
      
        Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
      
      Just ignore EINVAL and ENOSYS, we'll print the results as not counted:

      perf stat: Add --sync/-S option · f9cef0a9
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      --sync will tell perf stat to run sync() before starting a command.
      
      This allows IO-heavy tests to be used with --repeat, without one
      iteration impacting the other.
      
      Elapsed time will stabilize for example:
      
        before:        3.971525714  seconds time elapsed  ( +-  8.56% )
        after:         3.211098537  seconds time elapsed  ( +-  1.52% )
      
      So measurements will be more accurate.
