2013-04-01perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewtArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets NO_SLANG=1.

2013-04-01perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)Andi Kleen
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for it, also it can some other benefits: 1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs to know the perf data file name to run that script. 2.

2012-10-06perf event: No need to create a thread when handling PERF_RECORD_EXITArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent, only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and to just delete it. If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no references at all. Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we don't create it. As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point. Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by this patch.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2012-06-27perf report: Delay sample_type checks in pipe modeDavid Ahern
The pipeline: perf record -a -g -o - sleep 5 |perf inject -v -b | perf report -g -i - generates the warning: Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? The problem is that the header data is not written to the pipe, so the sample_type has not been available when perf_report__setup_sample_type is called. For pipe mode, record dumps the sample type as part of the synthesized events stream -- perf_event__synthesize_attrs(). Handle this be detecting pipe mode and not doing early sanity checks on sample_type.

2012-03-09perf report: Add support for taken branch samplingRoberto Agostino Vitillo
This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected given the code. It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply not using its -b option. It is possible to sort on branch related columns: - dso_from, symbol_from - dso_to, symbol_to - mispredict Signed-off-by: Roberto Agostino Vitillo <ravitillo@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-14-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-12-23perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.
