perf kwork: New tool to trace time properties of kernel work (such as softirq, and workqueue)

2022-07-26T19:01:24+00:00

The 'perf kwork' tool is used to trace time properties of kernel work (such as irq, softirq, and workqueue), including runtime, latency, and timehist, using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra targets. This is the first commit to reuse the 'perf record' framework code to implement a simple record function, kwork is not supported currently. Test cases: # perf usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS] The most commonly used perf commands are: iostat Show I/O performance metrics kallsyms Searches running kernel for symbols kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os kwork Tool to trace/measure kernel work properties (latencies) list List all symbolic event types lock Analyze lock events mem Profile memory accesses record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command. # perf kwork Usage: perf kwork [] {record} -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -k, --kwork list of kwork to profile -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) # perf kwork record -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.787 MB perf.data ] Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Clarke Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220709015033.38326-2-yangjihong1@huawei.com [ Add {} for multiline if blocks ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add external commands to list-cmds

2022-04-09T17:21:00+00:00

The `perf --list-cmds` output prints only internal commands, although there is no reason for that from users' perspective. Adding the external commands to commands array with NULL function pointer allows printing all perf commands while not changing the logic of command handler selection.

perf tools: Fix perf's libperf_print callback

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

eprintf() does not expect va_list as the type of the 4th parameter. Use veprintf() because it does.

perf debug: Move debug initialization earlier

2021-05-27T16:24:22+00:00

This avoids segfaults during option handlers that use pr_err. For example, "perf --debug nopager list" segfaults before this change.

perf daemon: Add daemon command

2021-02-09T18:42:57+00:00

Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering various setup in start command. Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info. This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run record long running sessions on the background. The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command. This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or removed, etc. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexei Budankov Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Michael Petlan Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210208200908.1019149-2-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

libperf: Merge libperf_set_print() into libperf_init()

2019-09-25T12:51:49+00:00

The libperf_set_print() function needs to be called in any case so let's merge it with libperf_init(), so we have just one init function.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there. Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this value via sysconf() at tool start. Committer notes: Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h included.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for places where it was only serving to get something else. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-9h6dg6lsqe2usyqjh5rrues4@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't being obtained indirectly. This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.
