2013-01-31perf report: Show group description when event group is enabledNamhyung Kim
When using event group viewer, it's better to show the group description rather than the leader information alone. If a leader did not contain any member, it's a non-group event.

2012-12-10perf evsel: Introduce method to request IDs be usedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When mmaping multiple events we need to find the right evsel that matches an event in the ring buffer. For that we need to set the PERF_FORMAT_ID bit in perf_event_attr.read_format so that when we read the event fds we get that id to then hash it and be able later to use perf_evlist__id2evsel to find the right evsel. We also need to set the PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit in perf_event_attr.sample_type to ask for that id to be stashed in each sample, so that we can demux it. So add a perf_evsel__set_sample_id() method to do those two things in one operation.

Convert perf_evsel__is_group_member to perf_evsel__is_group_leader.

2012-11-19perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration appliedDavid Howells
Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order - and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead. Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include. This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally, we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI - at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards *should* be transferred there. I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this be changed to use -MD? Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain bisectability. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'. Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both 'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}' defined groups as they don't set 'group' option. Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is common to both group definition.

2012-08-14perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed eventsJiri Olsa
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

2012-08-14perf tools: Add support to update event modifierJiri Olsa
Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as an update to the existing event modifiers. Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function. Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is initialized/updated respectively. Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set by default or by event modifier. Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

2012-08-07perf evsel: Cache associated event_formatArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().

2011-02-17perf: make perf stat print user provided full event namesStephane Eranian
This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without their modifiers (u, k, pp). This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel struct and uses it to print the final event name. This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables. $ perf stat -e cycles:u,cycles:k date Wed Feb 16 14:58:52 CET 2011 Performance counter stats for 'date': 568600 cycles:u 2779715 cycles:k 0.001908182 seconds time elapsed Cc: Arun Sharma <arun@sharma-home.net> Cc: David S.
