perf evlist: Add API to pause/resume

2016-05-23T21:22:00+00:00

perf_evlist__toggle_{pause,resume}() are introduced to pause/resume events in an evlist. Utilize PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT ioctl. Following commits use them to ensure overwrite ring buffer is paused before reading.

perf evsel: Record fd into perf_mmap

2016-05-20T17:56:58+00:00

Add a fd field into struct perf_mmap so that perf can track the mmap fd. This feature will be used for toggling overwrite ring buffers.

perf tools: Support reading from backward ring buffer

2016-05-09T20:20:53+00:00

perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward ring buffer. Since direction for reading such ring buffer is different from the direction kernel writing to it, and since user need to fetch most recent record from it, a perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() is introduced to move the reading pointer to the end of the buffer.

perf evlist: Expose perf_event_mlock_kb_in_pages() helper

2016-04-15T20:46:31+00:00

When the user doesn't set --mmap-pages, perf_evlist__mmap() will do it by reading the maximum possible for a non-root user from the /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb file. Expose that function so that 'perf trace' can, for root users, to bump mmap-pages to a higher value for root, based on the contents of this proc file.

perf evsel: Do not use globals in config()

2016-04-12T01:18:20+00:00

Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed. This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist gets callchains enabled.

perf tools: Enable passing event to BPF object

2016-02-22T15:30:50+00:00

A new syntax is added to the parser so that the user can access predefined perf events in BPF objects. After this patch, BPF programs for perf are finally able to utilize bpf_perf_event_read() introduced in commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU counter").
