2009-09-19perf: Add the timechart toolArjan van de Ven
timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system. The user makes a trace of what is going on with > perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command and then can turn the output of this into an svg file > perf timechart which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well enough for me. The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable" picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a specific area.

2009-09-13perf: Add 'perf sched' toolIngo Molnar
This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be conducted and the results be displayed numerically. First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of perf trace. Fix a few other details along the way: - add (minimal) perf trace documentation - reorder a few places - list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well as it's a very useful utility.

2009-08-17perf tools: Add perf traceFrederic Weisbecker
This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools. It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events and display them, according to the events information given by the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools. It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu, timestamps fields and some other things. Example: perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a perf trace kblockd/0-236 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:236 func=cfq_kick_queue+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 Todo: - A lot of things!

2009-07-22perf_counter: Detect debugfs locationJason Baron
If "/sys/kernel/debug" is not a debugfs mount point, search for the debugfs filesystem in /proc/mounts, but also allows the user to specify '--debugfs-dir=blah' or set the environment variable: 'PERF_DEBUGFS_DIR' Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> [ also made it probe "/debug" by default ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <20090721181629.GA3094@redhat.com>
2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Add more warnings and fix/annotate themIngo Molnar
Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It also required a few annotations All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with this enabled for now.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/Ingo Molnar
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
