      perf probe: Reject second attempt of adding same-name event · d761b08b
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Reject second attempt of adding same-name event. This patch
      also provides --force option which allows user to add additional
      probe events on the same-name event.
      
      e.g.
      (the first attempt : success)
       ./perf probe schedule
       Added new event:
         probe:schedule                           (on schedule+0)
      
      (the second attempt : failure)
       ./perf probe schedule:11
       Error: event "schedule" already exists. (Use -f to force duplicates.)
         Fatal: Can't add new event.
      
      (the second attempt with -f : successfully added)
       ./perf probe -f schedule:11
       Added new event:
         probe:schedule_1                         (on schedule+45)

      perf probe: Support event name for --add option · af663d75
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Support event name syntax for --add option. This allows
      users to specify event name for each new event.
      
      The --add syntax is:
       perf probe --add '[EVENT=]SRC:LINE ARGS'
      or
       perf probe --add '[EVENT=]FUNC[+OFFS|%return|:RLN][@SRC] ARGS'
      
      e.g.
      
       ./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule
      
      Note: currently group name is not supported yet, because it
      can cause name-space confliction with other tracepoint/
      hw-breakpoint events.

      perf probe: Add glob matching support on --del · bbbb521b
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add glob-expression matching support on --del option.
      You can use wildcards for specifying deleting events.
      e.g.
      
       Clear all probe events:
      
       # perf probe --del '*'
      
       Clear probes on schedule():
      
       # perf probe --del 'schedule*'

      perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number · 0f624e7e
      Paul Mackerras authored
      It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
      that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
      greater than the total count of possible CPUs.
      
      Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
      number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This
      test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
      cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.
      
      This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
      nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
      ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
      subsequently.

      Allow scripts to be recorded/executed by simply specifying the
      script root name (the script name minus extension) along with
      'record' or 'report' to 'perf trace'.
      
      The script names shown by 'perf trace -l' can be directly used
      to run the command-line contained within the corresponding
      '-record' and '-report' versions of scripts in the scripts/*/bin
      directories.
      
      For example, to record the trace data needed to run the
      wakeup-latency.pl script, the user can easily find the name of
      the corresponding script from the script list and invoke it
      using 'perf trace record', without having to remember the
      details of how to do the same thing using the lower-level perf
      trace command-line options:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
      List of available trace scripts:
        workqueue-stats                      workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
        wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
        rw-by-file <comm>                    r/w activity for a program, by file
        check-perf-trace                     useless but exhaustive test script
        rw-by-pid                            system-wide r/w activity
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace record wakeup-latency
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.296 MB perf.data (~12931
      samples) ]
      
      To run the wakeup-latency.pl script using the captured data,
      change 'record' to 'report' in the command-line:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace report wakeup-latency
      
      wakeup_latency stats:
      
      total_wakeups: 65
      avg_wakeup_latency (ns): 22417
      min_wakeup_latency (ns): 3470
      max_wakeup_latency (ns): 223311
      
      perf trace Perl script stopped
      
      If the script takes options, thay can be simply added to the end
      of the 'report' invocation:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace record rw-by-file
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.782 MB perf.data (~34171
      samples) ]

      perf trace/scripting: List available scripts · 4b9c0c59
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Lists the available perf trace scripts, one per line e.g.:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
      List of available trace scripts:
        workqueue-stats                      workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
        wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
        rw-by-file <comm>                    r/w activity for a program, by file
        check-perf-trace                     useless but exhaustive test script
        rw-by-pid                            system-wide r/w activity
      
      To be consistent with the other listing options in perf, the
      current latency trace option was changed to '-L', and '-l' is
      now used to access the script listing as:
      
      To create the list, it searches each scripts/*/bin directory for
      files ending with "-report" and reads information found in
      certain comment lines contained in those shell scripts:
      
        - if the comment line starts with "description:", the rest of the
          line is used as a 'half-line' description.  To keep each line in
          the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40
          characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and
          args)
      
        - if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line
          names the args the script supports.  Required args should be
          surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets.
      
      The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated
      with description: and args: comments.

      perf trace/scripting: Add support for script args · 586bc5cc
      Tom Zanussi authored
      One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
      support for passing args to handler scripts.  This adds
      argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the
      rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf'
      value currently hard-coded.  It also takes the opportunity to do
      some related minor cleanup.

      This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
      volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.
      
      For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
      feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
      'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
      tools.

      perf session: Move kmaps to perf_session · 4aa65636
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
      from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
      the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
      matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
      here.
      
      Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
      the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
      loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
      creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
      store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
      one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

      perf session: Reduce the number of parms to perf_session__process_events · ec913369
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      By having the cwd/cwdlen in the perf_session struct and
      full_paths in perf_event_ops.
      
      Now its just a matter of passing the ops.

      No need for all tools to register it and then immediately call
      perf_session__process_events.

      perf session: Ditch register_perf_file_handler · 301a0b02
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Pass the event_ops to perf_session__process_events instead.
      
      Also move the event_ops definition to session.h, starting to
      move things around to their right place, trimming the many
      unneeded headers we have.

      perf sched: Fix build failure on sparc · 2cd9046c
      David Miller authored
      Here, tvec->tv_usec is "unsigned int" not "unsigned long".
      
      Since the type is different on every platform, it's probably
      best to just use long printf formats and cast.

      perf bench: Add "all" pseudo subsystem and "all" pseudo suite · 2044279d
      Hitoshi Mitake authored
      This patch adds a new "all" pseudo subsystem and an "all" pseudo
      suite. These are for testing all subsystem and its all suite, or
      all suite of one subsystem.
      
      (This patch also contains a few trivial comment fixes for
      bench/* and output style fixes. I judged that there are no
      necessity to make them into individual patch.)
      
      Example of use:
      
      | % ./perf bench sched all                      # Test all suites of sched subsystem
      | # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
      | # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
      | # 10 groups == 400 processes run
      |
      |      Total time: 0.414 [sec]
      |
      | # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
      | # Extecuted 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks
      |
      |      Total time: 10.999 [sec]
      |
      |       10.999317 usecs/op
      |           90914 ops/sec
      |
      | % ./perf bench all                            # Test all suites of all subsystems
      | # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
      | # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
      | # 10 groups == 400 processes run
      |
      |      Total time: 0.420 [sec]
      |
      | # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
      | # Extecuted 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks
