      perf callchain: Per-event type selection support · d457c963
      Kan Liang 提交于
      This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
      event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
      perf.data.
      
      Here is an example.
      
        perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1
      
       perf evlist -v
       cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,
       config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:
       IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
       inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
       1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
       cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, {
       sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
       IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID,
       disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
       exclude_guest: 1

      perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf · 4ba1faa1
      Wang Nan 提交于
      This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
      by '--exclude-perf' option.
      
      Before this patch, when doing something like:
      
       # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>
      
      One could easily get result like this:
      
       # /tmp/perf report --stdio
       ...
        # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
        # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
        #
            99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
            0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
            0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
       ...
      
      Where most events are generated by perf itself.
      
      A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:
      
       # cat << EOF > ./tmp
       > #!/bin/sh
       > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
       > EOF
       # chmod a+x ./tmp
       # ./tmp
      
      However, doing so is user unfriendly.
      
      This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
      record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
      foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
      new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.
      
      To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
      this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
      perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
      it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
      are combinded with '&&'.

      perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching · 15bfd2cc
      Wang Nan 提交于
      There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
      Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
      multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
      '--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.
      
      For example:
      
       # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
       [1] 464
       # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
       [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
       [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
       # perf report --stdio | tee
       ...
       # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
       # Event count (approx.): 2092
       ...
       # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
       # Event count (approx.): 2
       ...
      
      In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
      there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.
      
      This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
      apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.
      
      After applying this patch:
      
       # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
       [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
       [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
       # perf report --stdio | tee
       ...
       # Samples: 1  of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
       # Event count (approx.): 1
       ...
       # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
       # Event count (approx.): 2

    • A
      perf tools: Let default config be defined for a PMU · dc0a6202
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
      example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:
      
      	intel_pt//
      
      which will be the same as:
      
      	intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
      
      meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
      compression'.
      
      An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
      overwrite the default values.  That has meant changing the logic so that
      a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

    • A
      perf tools: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms · ad962273
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:
      
      	pmu//
      
      which is effectively the same as:
      
      	pmu/config=0/
      
      This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.
      
      Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:
      
      Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.
      
      Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
      not know how to decode them.
      
      Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.
      
      It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
      versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
      turn it on by default.
      
      It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
      default.
      
      The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.
