perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag

2012-03-09T07:26:08+00:00

This patch adds a new feature bit, namely, HEADER_BRANCH_STACK. When present, it indicates that sample records may contain branch stack. This could be useful to a viewer to switch to branch mode without having to parse all the samples or without a specific cmdline option. This will be used in a subsequent patch to enhance perf report with branch stacks.

perf record: Make feature initialization generic

2012-02-02T19:41:17+00:00

Loop over all features to enable it instead of explicitly enabling every single feature. Reducing duplicate code and making it more robust to later changes e.g. when adding more features.

perf tools: Use for_each_set_bit() to iterate over feature flags

2011-12-23T19:03:36+00:00

This patch introduces the for_each_set_bit() macro and modifies feature implementation to use it.

perf tools: Rename perf_event_ops to perf_tool

2011-11-28T12:39:28+00:00

To better reflect that it became the base class for all tools, that must be in each tool struct and where common stuff will be put.

perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_ops

2011-11-28T12:39:12+00:00

Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

perf tools: Pass tool context in the the perf_event_ops functions

2011-11-28T12:38:56+00:00

So that we don't need to have that many globals. Next steps will remove the 'session' pointer, that in most cases is not needed. Then we can rename perf_event_ops to 'perf_tool' that better describes this class hierarchy.

perf event: perf_event_ops->attr() manipulates only an evlist

2011-11-28T12:37:43+00:00

Removing another case where a perf_session is required when processing events.

perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)

2011-10-07T20:01:24+00:00

The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...

perf header: Stop using 'self'

2011-03-10T14:16:28+00:00

Stop using this python/OOP convention, doesn't really helps. Will do more from time to time till we get it cleaned up in all of tools/perf.
