2015-08-05perf tools: Refine parse/config callchain functionsKan Liang
Pass global callchain_param into parse_callchain_record_opt and perf_evsel__config_callgraph as parameter. So we can reuse these functions to parse/config local param for callchain.

2015-08-05perf tools: Per-event time supportKan Liang
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

2015-07-29perf tools: Force period term to overload global settingsJiri Olsa
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period settings: With no global settings, we get per-event configuration: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ... This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option setup: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current 'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-). Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

2015-07-20perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matchingWang Nan
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add '--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one. For example: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & [1] 464 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 2092 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ... In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'. This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and apply filter on all events between two boundary marks. After applying this patch: # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 1 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ...

2015-07-06perf evsel: Rename set_filter to apply_filterArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We need to be able to go on constructing a complex filter in multiple stages, since we can only set one filter per event. For instance, we need to be able, in 'perf trace' to filter by the 'common_pid' field all the time, if only for the tracer itself, to avoid a feedback loop, and, in addition, we may want to filter the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} events by its 'id' filter, when using 'perf trace -e open,close' or 'perf trace -e !open,close', i.e. when we are interested in just a subset of syscalls or when we are not interested in it. So we will have: perf_evsel__set_filter(evsel, char *filter) Replaces whatever is in evsel->filter. perf_evsel__append_filter(evsel, const char *op, char *filter) Appends, using op ("&&" or "||") with what is in evsel->filter. perf_evsel__apply_filter(evsel, filter): That actually applies a filter, be it the one being constructed in evsel->filter, or any other, for tools with more specific ways to build the filter, issuing the appropriate ioctl for all the evsel fds. The same changes will be made to the evlist__{set,apply} variants to keep everything consistent.

2015-02-18perf tools: Enable LBR call stack supportKan Liang
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf. Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call stack support on the tooling side. LBR call stack has some limitations: - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. However, it also offers some advantages: - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing else works.

2015-01-29perf evsel: Set attr.task bit for a tracking eventNamhyung Kim
The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config(). While it was not a problem in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway. The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events. So setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task events anyway. So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are off but I'd like to set it for completeness.
