perf report: Set callchain_param.record_mode for future use

2014-10-15T19:20:03Z

Normally the callchain_param.record_mode is used only for record path. But as it might need to prepare something for dwarf unwinding, setup this info for perf report too.

perf test: Add test case for pmu event new style format

2014-10-15T19:10:24Z

Add test case in automated tests suite. It checks not only the two types of pmu event stytle formats "pmu_event_name" and "cpu/pmu_event_name/", but also the different formats mixtures which are more likely to trigger parse issue. The patch set including this one has been tested by the perf automated test: ./perf test parse -v" On haswell, ivybridge and Romley platform. The patch set also has been tested on haswell by the following script. Note: please make sure that your test system support TSX and L1-dcache-loads events. Otherwise, you may want to change the events to other pmu events.

perf tools: Remove hists from evsel

2014-10-14T20:32:52Z

Now tools that deals want to have an hists per evsel need to call hists__init() before creating any evsels, which can be as early as when parsing the command line, so do it before calling parse_options(). The current tools using hists/hist_entries are report, top and annotate, change them to request per evsel hists. This is in preparation for making evsels usable by 3rd party tools, that not necessarily live in perf's source code repository.

perf evsel: Add hists helper

2014-10-09T16:13:41Z

Not all tools need a hists instance per perf_evsel, so lets pave the way to remove evsel->hists while leaving a way to access the hists from a specially allocated evsel, one that comes with space at the end where lives the evsel.

tools lib fd array: Allow associating an integer cookie with each entry

2014-09-25T19:46:55Z

We will use this in perf's evlist class so that it can, at fdarray__filter() time, to unmap the associated ring buffer. We may need to have further info associated with each fdarray entry, in that case we'll make that int array a 'union fdarray_priv' one and put a pointer there so that users can stash whatever they want there. For now, an int is enough tho. v2: Add clarification to the per array entry priv area, as well as make it a union, which makes usage a bit longer, but if/when we make it use more space by allowing per entry pointers existing users source code will not have to be changed, just rebuilt.

tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist

2014-09-25T19:46:55Z

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it. v2: Don't use {} like in: libapi_dirs: $(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/ in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10. v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

perf evlist: Introduce poll method for common code idiom

2014-09-25T19:46:55Z

Since we have access two evlist members in all these poll calls, provide a helper. This will also help to make the patch introducing the pollfd class more clear, as the evlist specific uses will be hiden away perf_evlist__poll().

perf tools: Let default config be defined for a PMU

2014-09-17T20:08:08Z

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.
