perf uretprobe ppc64le: Fix probe location

2016-10-05T11:14:22+00:00

Perf uretprobe probes on GEP(Global Entry Point) which fails to record all function calls via LEP(Local Entry Point). Fix that by probing on LEP.

perf tools: Support CPU id matching for x86 v2

2016-10-03T22:58:01+00:00

Implement the code to match CPU types to mapfile types for x86 based on CPUID. This extends an existing similar function, but changes it to use the x86 mapfile cpu description. This allows to resolve event lists generated by jevents.

perf powerpc: Support CPU ID matching for Powerpc

2016-10-03T22:58:01+00:00

Implement code that returns the generic CPU ID string for Powerpc. This will be used to identify the specific table of PMU events to parse/compare user specified events against.

perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test for powerpc

2016-09-29T14:18:21+00:00

The user stack dump feature was recently added for powerpc. But there was no test case available to test it. This test works same as on other architectures by preparing a stack frame on the perf test thread and comparing each frame by unwinding it. $ ./perf test 50 50: Test dwarf unwind : Ok User stack dump for powerpc: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/28/482 Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Anju T Sudhakar Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Matt Fleming Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474267100-31079-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf intel-pt: Record address filter in AUXTRACE_INFO event

The address filter is needed to help decode the trace, so store it in the AUXTRACE_INFO event.

perf intel-pt: Add support for recording the max non-turbo ratio

2016-09-29T14:17:03+00:00

Previously the maximum non-turbo ratio was calculated from TSC assuming a 100 MHz multiplier which is correct for current hardware supporting Intel PT. However more recent kernels also now export the value, so use that in preference to the calculated value.

perf probe: Fix dwarf regs table for x86_64

2016-09-12T13:37:07+00:00

In 293d5b439483 ("perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary") DWARF register tables were introduced for many architectures, with the one for the "dx" register being broken for x86_64, which got noticed by the 'perf test bpf' testcase, that has this difference from a successful run to one that fails, with the aforementioned patch: -Writing event: p:perf_bpf_probe/func _text+5197232 f_mode=+68(%di):x32 offset=%si:s64 orig=dx:s32 -Failed to write event: Invalid argument -bpf_probe: failed to apply perf probe eventsFailed to add events selected by BPF +Writing event: p:perf_bpf_probe/func _text+5197232 f_mode=+68(%di):x32 offset=%si:s64 orig=%dx:s32 Add the missing '%' to '%dx' to fix this.
