perf symbols: Limit max callchain using max_stack on DWARF unwinding too

2013-11-14T19:00:23+00:00

It was affecting only frame-pointer (fp) based callchain processing. Usage example: perf top --call-graph dwarf,1024 --max-stack 2 Works for any tool that does callchain resolving and provides a --max-stack option.

perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03+00:00

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

perf machine: Simplify synthesize_threads method

2013-11-11T18:56:40+00:00

Several tools (top, kvm) don't need to be called back to process each of the syntheiszed records, instead relying on the machine__process_event function to change the per machine data structures that represent threads and mmaps, so provide a way to ask for this common idiom.

perf tools: Add time argument on COMM setting

2013-11-04T14:57:06+00:00

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to a precise COMM:timeslice couple. PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread without time informations.

perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan

2013-10-21T20:36:25+00:00

When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large, like a Gbyte or so. The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127). This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not looked at. This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing stack information with faster speed. The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes. --max_stack Elapsed Time Output data size ----------- ------------ ---------------- not set 88.0s 124,422,651 64 87.5s 116,303,213 32 87.2s 112,023,804 16 86.6s 94,326,380 8 59.9s 33,697,248 4 40.7s 10,116,637 -g none 27.1s 2,555,810 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Acked-by: David Ahern Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Aswin Chandramouleeswaran Cc: David Ahern Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Scott J Norton Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1382107129-2010-4-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hp.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf machine: Add method to loop over threads and invoke handler

2013-10-11T15:17:51+00:00

Loop over all threads within a machine - including threads moved to the dead threads list -- and invoked a function. This allows commands to run some specific function on each thread (eg., dump statistics) yet hides how the threads are maintained within the machine.

perf trace: Fix comm resolution when reading events from file

2013-10-11T15:17:48+00:00

Task comm's are getting lost when processing events from a file. The problem is that the trace struct used by the live processing has its host machine and the perf-session used for file based processing has its host machine. Fix by having both references point to the same machine.
