perf script: Align event name properly · 9cdbc409

Adding code to align event names, so we get aligned output in case of
multiple events with different names.

perf tools: Do not show trace command if it's not compiled in · cbd08b73

Jiri Olsa authored Jan 07, 2016

The trace command still appears in help message when you run simple
'perf' command.

It's because the generate-cmdlist.sh does not care about the
HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT dependency of trace command and puts it into
generated common_cmds array.

Wrapping trace command under HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT dependency, which
will exclude it from common_cmds array if HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT is not
set.

perf report: Change default to use event group view · 1e9abf8b

Namhyung Kim authored Nov 29, 2015

The event group view feature is to see related events together.  To use
the group view, events should be recorded as a group with a dedicated
syntax of surrounding events by braces (-e '{ evt1, evt2, ... }').

Also 'perf report' also requires the --group option to enable it.
However it's almost always beneficial to use the group view to see the
group events as it's more expressive.  And I think it's more natural to
see events together if they are recorded as a group.

Thus this patch changes the default value to enable it.  If users don't
want to see like it and keep the original behavior, they can set the
report.group config variable to false and/or use --no-group option in
the 'perf report' command line.

tools lib: Move find_next_bit.c to tools/lib/ · 552eb975

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Jan 08, 2016

The commit that introduced it should've moved it to the same place, plus
the 'tools/' prefix, but instead moved it to a bogus tools/lib/util/
directory, being the only file there.

Move it to tools/lib/find_bit.c, picking the name for the file where
these routines live since:

 8f6f19dd ("lib: move find_last_bit to lib/find_next_bit.c")

Next step is to make tools/lib/find_bit.c to differ from lib/find_bit.c
just in removing what is not used by tools/.

perf tests: No need to set attr.sample_freq in the perf time to TSC test · 4f4ba0e6

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Jan 07, 2016

We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly
when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
below that.

In this test we only look at the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME fields in PERF_RECORD_
meta events, no need to set sample_freq.

Thanks to Namhyung for suggesting that max_sample_rate could be the
reason for the test failure, seeing the 'perf test -vv' output I sent.

perf pmu: fix alias->snapshot missing initialization bug · 84530920

Stephane Eranian authored Jan 06, 2016

This patch fixes a bug in __perf_pmu__new_alias() whereby the
alias->snapshot field was not initialized to false. This led to random
alias->snapshot value for an alias and was breaking some measurements
such as:

  $ perf stat -a -e uncore_imc/data_reads/ -I 1000 sleep 100

Because the event ended up being treated as snapshot mode, when it is
not.

perf cpumap: Fix cpu conversion in cpu_map__from_entries · 15d2b995

Jiri Olsa authored Jan 06, 2016

We can't convert u16 cpu_map_entries::cpu[x] value directly to int,
because it could hold -1, which would be converted as 65535.

Adding special treatment for -1, which is not real cpu number, to be
converted to (int -1).
