perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

2015-10-28T15:48:12+00:00

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready. Commiter notes: Using it: $ ls -la foo.o ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory $ perf record --event foo.o sleep libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory event syntax error: 'foo.o' \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/foo.o /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ] $ perf evlist /tmp/foo.o $ perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok. $ perf report --stdio Error: The perf.data file has no samples! # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # $ Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: David Ahern Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kaixu Xia Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444826502-49291-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf env: Introduce read_cpu_topology_map() method

2015-09-14T15:50:28+00:00

Out of the code to write the cpu topology map in the perf.data file header. Now if one needs the CPU topology map for the running machine, one needs to call perf_env__read_cpu_topology_map(perf_env) and the info will be stored in perf_env.cpu. For now we're using a global perf_env variable, that will have its contents freed after we run a builtin. v2: Check perf_env__read_cpu_topology_map() return in write_cpu_topology() (Kan Liang) Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441828225-667-5-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib api fs: Move tracing_path interface into api/fs/tracing_path.c

2015-09-04T15:00:45+00:00

Moving tracing_path interface into api/fs/tracing_path.c out of util.c. It seems generic enough to be used by others, and I couldn't think of better place.

Renaming all functions touching tracing_path under same namespace.

perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*'

2015-02-27T18:52:28+00:00

The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version --exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree --debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two problems: Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf really supports will be inconsistent. Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g. 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can continue to choose one. To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash completion now. Example: Before this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' $ perf -- <-- 'h' disappears and no required result After this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' --help --html-path <-- the required result Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1425032491-20224-8-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
