perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range

2011-07-05T08:44:44Z

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C . v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Acked-by: David Ahern Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110704215750.11647eb9@kryten Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf script: Add printing of sample address

perf script: Make printing of dso a separate field option

2011-06-02T16:29:14Z

The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option. This allows display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

perf script: "sym" field really means show IP data

2011-06-02T16:28:34Z

Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols, so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip" option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is shown.

perf script: improve validation of sample attributes for output fields

2011-04-20T10:27:52Z

Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from older kernel) the field is removed from the output list. Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events (ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file). Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather than for each sample. v1 -> v2: - addressed comments from acme Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1302148460-570-1-git-send-email-daahern@cisco.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: If type not given fields apply to all event types

2011-03-30T17:43:11Z

Allow: perf script -f to be equivalent to: perf script -f trace: -f sw: -f hw: i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string is not given. The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later usage can reset a prior request. e.g., -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is given to the user: "Overriding previous field request for all events." Alternativey, consider the order: -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace: The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given fields. For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that type. For example: perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring. 'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring. Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an error. For example: perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for software events. At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits. Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types. i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()

2011-03-23T22:28:58Z

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools, report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to properly support multi-event perf.data files. Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).
