perf bench numa: Fix assertion for nodes bitfield

2016-03-21T20:46:57+00:00

Comparing bits and bytes in numa benchmark assertion I hit the issue on two socket Power8 machine presenting its numa nodes as 0,1,16,17 (according to numactl). Therefore I got error (and hang of parent process): perf: bench/numa.c:296: bind_to_memnode: Assertion `!(g->p.nr_nodes > (int)sizeof(nodemask))' failed. This is obviously false positive. We can fit all the 18 nodes into bitfield of 8 bytes (long on 64b architecture).

perf bench mem: Prepare the x86-64 build for upstream memcpy_mcsafe() changes

2016-03-09T09:40:01+00:00

The following upcoming upstream commit: 92b0729c34ca ("x86/mm, x86/mce: Add memcpy_mcsafe()") Adds _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT(), which is not available in user-space and breaks the build. We don't really need _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() in user-space, so simply wrap it to nothing.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named libsubcmd.a. Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to 'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf bench: Use named initializers in the trailer too

2015-10-19T21:17:25+00:00

To avoid this splat with gcc 4.4.7: cc1: warnings being treated as errors bench/mem-functions.c:273: error: missing initializer bench/mem-functions.c:273: error: (near initialization for ‘memcpy_functions[4].desc’) bench/mem-functions.c:366: error: missing initializer bench/mem-functions.c:366: error: (near initialization for ‘memset_functions[4].desc’) Cc: David Ahern Cc: Hitoshi Mitake Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-0s8o6tgw1pdwvdv02llb9tkd@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf bench mem: Rename 'routine' to 'function'

2015-10-19T19:10:25+00:00

So right now there's a somewhat inconsistent mess of the benchmarking code and options sometimes calling benchmarked functions 'functions', sometimes calling them 'routines'. Name them 'functions' consistently.

perf bench: Harmonize all the -l/--nr_loops options

2015-10-19T19:10:05+00:00

We have three benchmarking subsystems that specify some sort of 'number of loops' parameter - but all of them do it inconsistently: numa: -l/--nr_loops sched messaging: -l/--loops mem memset/memcpy: -i/--iterations Harmonize them to -l/--nr_loops by picking the numa variant - which is also the most likely one to have existing scripting which we don't want to break. Plus improve the parameter help texts to indicate the default value for the nr_loops variable to keep users from guessing ... Also propagate the naming to internal variables.

perf bench mem: Reorganize the code a bit

2015-10-19T19:07:19+00:00

Reorder functions a bit, so that we synchronize the layout of the memcpy() and memset() portions of the code. This improves the code, especially after we'll add an strlcpy() variant as well.

perf bench mem: Improve user visible strings

2015-10-19T19:07:18+00:00

- fix various typos in user visible output strings - make the output consistent (wrt. capitalization and spelling) - offer the list of routines to benchmark on '-r help'.
