If CONFIG options required for perf-lock are not enabled then the corresponding tracepoints will not be enabled. Currently, the message to the user is: $ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1 invalid or unsupported event: 'lock:lock_acquire' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Improve the message with a suggestion on which CONFIG options are needed: $ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1 tracepoint lock:lock_acquire is not enabled. Are CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT enabled? Suggested-by:

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script, the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the basic information of the events and analyze them. This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions according to their specific requirment. Here is the sample of how to use the script: $ perf record -a tree $ perf script -s process_event.py There is 100 records in gen_events table Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso: comm number histgram ========================================== swapper 56 ###### tree 20 ##### perf 10 #### sshd 8 #### kworker/7:2 4 ### ksoftirqd/7 1 # plugin-containe 1 # symbol number histgram ========================================================== native_write_msr_safe 40 ###### __lock_acquire 8 #### ftrace_graph_caller 4 ### prepare_ftrace_return 4 ### intel_idle 3 ## native_sched_clock 3 ## Unknown_symbol 2 ## do_softirq 2 ## lock_release 2 ## lock_release_holdtime 2 ## trace_graph_entry 2 ## _IO_putc 1 # __d_lookup_rcu 1 # __do_fault 1 # __schedule 1 # _raw_spin_lock 1 # delay_tsc 1 # generic_exec_single 1 # generic_fillattr 1 # dso number histgram ================================================================== [kernel.kallsyms] 95 ####### /lib/libc-2.12.1.so 5 ### Signed-off-by: -

This library defines several class types for perf events which could help to better analyze the event samples. Currently there are just a few classes, PerfEvent is the base class for all perf events, PebsEvent is a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW event classes based on requriements.

perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()" Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics. Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea "perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events" to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints. For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named "process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute, perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process. Signed-off-by:

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().

We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the tracepoint names there. Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the tracepoint names to when we process samples, but in the next patches we will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as soon as we process the tracing data event.

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well. Signed-off-by:
