From 4a0f65c102ec3a718b4a0b90981232b6cb019477 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 17:03:36 +0900 Subject: perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given 'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events. If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read $params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'. ----- # perf probe --cache --list /[kernel.kallsyms] (1466a0a250b5d0070c6d0f03c5fed30b237970a1): vfs_read $params /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so (c31ffe7942bfd77b2fca8f9bd5709d387a86d3bc): getaddrinfo $params # perf probe --cache --del vfs_read\* Removed cached event: probe:vfs_read # perf probe --cache --list /[kernel.kallsyms] (1466a0a250b5d0070c6d0f03c5fed30b237970a1): /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so (c31ffe7942bfd77b2fca8f9bd5709d387a86d3bc): getaddrinfo $params ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Hemant Kumar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/146736021651.27797.10250879847070772920.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt') diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt index 5a70d45015ea..8d091734d02c 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-probe.txt @@ -116,6 +116,7 @@ OPTIONS (With --add) Cache the probes.
