2022-10-27T19:37:26+00:00

Add missing newline on pr_warning() call in home_perfconfig(). Before: # perf record File /home/yangjihong/.perfconfig not owned by current user or root, ignoring it.Couldn't synthesize bpf events. After: # perf record File /home/yangjihong/.perfconfig not owned by current user or root, ignoring it. Couldn't synthesize bpf events.

perf config: Refine error message to eliminate confusion

2021-09-27T12:32:28+00:00

If there is no configuration file at first, the user can write any pair of "key.subkey=value" to the newly created configuration file, while value validation against a valid configurable key is *deferred* until the next execution or the implied execution of "perf config ... ". For example: $ rm ~/.perfconfig $ perf config call-graph.dump-size=65529 $ cat ~/.perfconfig # this file is auto-generated. [call-graph] dump-size = 65529 $ perf config call-graph.dump-size=2048 callchain: Incorrect stack dump size (max 65528): 65529 Error: wrong config key-value pair call-graph.dump-size=65529 The user might expect that the second value 2048 is valid and can be updated to the configuration file, but the error message is very confusing because the first value 65529 is not reported as an error during the last configuration. It is recommended not to change the current behavior of delayed validation (as more effort is needed), but to refine the original error message to *clearly indicate* that the cause of the error is the configuration file.

perf config: Fix caching and memory leak in perf_home_perfconfig()

2021-08-30T13:06:22+00:00

Acaict, perf_home_perfconfig() is supposed to cache the result of home_perfconfig, which returns the default location of perfconfig for the user, given the HOME environment variable. However, the current implementation calls home_perfconfig every time perf_home_perfconfig() is called (so no caching is actually performed), replacing the previous pointer, thus also causing a memory leak. This patch adds a check of whether either config or failed is set and, in that case, directly returns config without calling home_perfconfig at each invocation.

perf stat: Introduce config stat.bpf-counter-events

2021-04-29T13:30:58+00:00

Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses --bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use BPF. This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion. For example: perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions perf stat -e instructions,cs The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

perf stat: Align CSV output for summary mode

2021-03-24T13:21:49+00:00

The 'perf stat' subcommand supports the request for a summary of the interval counter readings. But the summary lines break the CSV output so it's hard for scripts to parse the result.
