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 tests: No need to set attr.sample_freq for tracking !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE

2016-01-07T19:51:58+00:00

We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate below that. Before: # perf test -vv dummy 23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking : --- start --- test child forked, pid 32421 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 size 112 config 0x9 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|ID|PERIOD sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22 Unable to open dummy and cycles event test child finished with -2 ---- end ---- Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking: Skip # [root@zoo ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 1000 After: [root@zoo ~]# perf test dummy 23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking : Ok Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-487iquegrs2379e5n0pi0tcp@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

2015-11-19T16:19:15+00:00

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this. Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers, like the one in RHEL6, where: test a = { .func = foo, }; fails. To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

perf test: Keep test result clean if '-v' not set

2015-11-03T14:45:40+00:00

According to [1], 'perf test' should avoid output too much information if '-v' is not set, only 'Ok', 'FAIL' or 'Skip' need to be printed. This patch removes several messages sent directly to stderr to make the output clean.

perf tools: Add reference counting for thread_map object

perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface

2015-04-29T13:37:58+00:00

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function. Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return: struct parse_events_error { int idx; char *str; char *help; }; where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed, 'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error and 'help' is optional help string. The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls event syntax error: 'sched:krava' \___ unknown tracepoint ... $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type ... $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises' \___ parser error ... The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses the terminal width.
