perf tools: Add info about cross compiling for Android ARM

2012-10-31T14:17:49+00:00

Without defining ARCH=arm, building perf for Android ARM will fail, because it needs architecture specific files. So add related relevant information to the android documentation.

perf stat: Add --pre and --post command

2012-10-26T13:22:25+00:00

In order to measure kernel builds, one has to do some pre/post cleanup work in order to do the repeat build. So provide --pre and --post command hooks to allow doing just that. perf stat --repeat 10 --null --sync --pre 'make -s O=defconfig-build/clean' \ -- make -s -j64 O=defconfig-build/ bzImage Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1350992414.13456.5.camel@twins [ committer note: Added respective entries in Documentation/perf-stat.txt ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf inject: Merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch events

2012-10-26T13:22:25+00:00

You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add handler in perf inject for merging this events. My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events. I use the next sequence of commands for testing: perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \ ~/test-program perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data 100.00% foo [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule | --- __schedule schedule | |--79.75%-- schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock | schedule_hrtimeout_range | poll_schedule_timeout | do_select | core_sys_select | sys_select | system_call_fastpath | __select | __libc_start_main | --20.25%-- do_nanosleep hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep system_call_fastpath __GI___libc_nanosleep __libc_start_main And here is test-program.c: #include #include #include int main() { struct timespec ts1; struct timeval tv1; int i; long s; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ts1.tv_sec = 0; ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000; nanosleep(&ts1, NULL); tv1.tv_sec = 0; tv1.tv_usec = 40000; select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1); } return 1; } Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344344165-369636-4-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org [ committer note: Made it use evsel->handler ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing

There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact specification of raw hardware events. Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).
