perf build: Suppress 'rm dlfilter' build message

2021-10-31T15:51:41+00:00

The following build message: rm dlfilters/dlfilter-test-api-v0.o is unwanted. The object file is being treated as an intermediate file and being automatically removed. Mark the object file as .SECONDARY to prevent removal and hence the message.

perf build: Fix plugin static linking with libopencsd on ARM and ARM64

2021-10-05T17:48:10+00:00

Filter out -static flag when building plugins as they are always built as dynamic libraries and -static and -dynamic don't work well together on arm and arm64.

perf dlfilters: Fix build on environments with a --sysroot gcc arg

2021-08-31T18:11:55+00:00

Such as cross building on Android, so just add EXTRA_CFLAGS to the dlfilters rules as it is where --sysroot= has been specified.

perf tests: Add dlfilter test

2021-08-11T12:35:44+00:00

Add a perf test to test the dlfilter C API. A perf.data file is synthesized and then processed by perf script with a dlfilter named dlfilter-test-api-v0.so. Also a C file is compiled to provide a dso to match the synthesized perf.data file.

perf trace: Fix the perf trace link location

2021-07-07T13:28:10+00:00

The install perf_dlfilter.h patch included what seems to be a typo in the Makefile.perf, which changed the location of the trace link from '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)/trace' to '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(dir_SQ)/trace'. This reverts it back to the correct location. Fixes: 0beb218315e06e88 ("perf build: Install perf_dlfilter.h") Signed-off-by: Justin M.

perf stat: Enable BPF counter with --for-each-cgroup

2021-07-05T17:16:57+00:00

Recently bperf was added to use BPF to count perf events for various purposes. This is an extension for the approach and targetting to cgroup usages. Unlike the other bperf, it doesn't share the events with other processes but it'd reduce unnecessary events (and the overhead of multiplexing) for each monitored cgroup within the perf session. When --for-each-cgroup is used with --bpf-counters, it will open cgroup-switches event per cpu internally and attach the new BPF program to read given perf_events and to aggregate the results for cgroups. It's only called when task is switched to a task in a different cgroup.

perf tools: Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent (tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection and support to link perf with it dynamically. The libtraceevent package status is displayed with: $ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 ... ... libtraceevent: [ on ] Default behavior remains the same (static linking). Committer testing: $ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep traceevent Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel.

perf stat: Enable iostat mode for x86 platforms

2021-04-20T11:40:20+00:00

This functionality is based on recently introduced sysfs attributes for Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP): Commit bb42b3d39781d7fc ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to IIO PMON mapping") Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per each PCIe root port: - Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory - Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory - Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port - Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port Each metric requiries only one uncore event which increments at every 4B transfer in corresponding direction. The formulas to compute metrics are generic: #EventCount * 4B / (1024 * 1024) Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Alexander Antonov Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexey V Bayduraev Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210419094147.15909-4-alexander.antonov@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
