      perf callchain: Add enum match_result for match_chain() · 2d713b80
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The append_chain() might return either result of match_chain() or other
      (error) code.  But match_chain() can return any value in s64 type so
      it's hard to check the error case.  Add new enum match_result and make
      match_chain() return non-negative values only so that we can check the
      error cases.

      perf callchain: Check return value of add_child() · 7565bd39
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The create_child() in add_child() can return NULL in case of memory
      allocation failure.  So check the return value and bail out.  The proper
      error handling will be added later.

      perf hists browser: Fix percentage update on key press · 467ef10c
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently 'perf top --tui' decrements percentage of all entries on any
      key press.  This is because it adds total period as new samples are
      added to hists.  As perf-top does it currently but added samples are not
      passed to the display thread, the percentages are decresing
      continuously.
      
      So separate total period stat into a different variable so that it
      cannot affect the output total period.  This new total period stats are
      used only for calcualating callchain percent limit.

      To remove duplicated code that differs only in using the matching

      Will be used by some new targets allowing the configuration of hardware
      events, etc.

      perf stat: Bail out on unsupported event config modifiers · 1669e509
      Wang Nan authored
      'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
      example:
      
        # perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
        # ls
        # exit
      
        Performance counter stats for 'bash':
      
               266258061      instructions/no-inherit/
               266258061      instructions/inherit/
      
             1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
      
      The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
      'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
      
      This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
      
      Result:
      
        # ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
        event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
                             \___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
        ...
      
      We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
      
      This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
      
        # ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
        event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
                                          \___ unknown term
      
        valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
      
        # ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls
        event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/'
                                 \___ unknown term

      perf bpf: Rename bpf_prog_priv__clear() to clear_prog_priv() · 80cdce76
      Wang Nan authored
      The name of bpf_prog_priv__clear() doesn't follow perf's naming
      convention. bpf_prog_priv__delete() seems to be a better name. However,
      bpf_prog_priv__delete() should be a method of 'struct bpf_prog_priv',
      but its first parameter is 'struct bpf_program'.
      
      It is callback from libbpf to clear priv structures when destroying a
      bpf program. It is actually a method of bpf_program (libbpf object), but
      bpf_program__ functions should be provided by libbpf.
      
      This patch removes the prefix of that function.

      Arnaldo pointed out that the earlier cb110f47 ("perf stat: Move
      noise/running printing into printout") change changed behavior for not
      counted counters. This patch fixes it again.

      perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test · 5243ba76
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
      auto-tuned:
      
        # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
        [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
        [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
      
      Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
      by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
      it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:
      
        # perf test -v 21 2>&1  | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
        Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
        Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
        Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
        Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
        Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
        [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
        40 /tmp/out
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
      For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
      user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
      bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

      perf evlist: Handle -EINVAL for sample_freq > max_sample_rate in strerror_open() · d9aade7f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      When running the "code reading" test we get:
      
        # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -5
        Parsing event 'cycles:u'
        perf_evlist__open failed
        test child finished with -1
        ---- end ----
        Test object code reading: FAILED!
        #
      
      And with -vv we get the errno value, -22, i.e. -EINVAL, but we can do
      better and handle the case at hand, with this patch it becomes:
      
        # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -7
        perf_evlist__open() failed!
        Error: Invalid argument.
        Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
        Hint:  The current value is 1000 and 4000 is being requested.

      Next patch will make this 'perf test' entry to use perf_evlist__strerror()

      perf record: Add --all-user/--all-kernel options · 85723885

      Allow user to easily switch all events to user or kernel space with simple
      --all-user or --all-kernel options.
      
      This will be handy within perf mem/c2c wrappers to switch easily monitoring

      We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
      for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.
      
      This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
      produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:
