* perf: Fix multi-event parsing bugStephane Eranian2011-05-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an issue with event parsing. The following commit appears to have broken the ability to specify a comma separated list of events: commit ceb53fbf6dbb1df26d38379a262c6981fe73dd36 Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Date: Wed Apr 27 04:06:33 2011 +0200 perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect: $ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null': 365956 instructions:u # 0.00 insns per cycle 731806 instructions:k # 0.00 insns per cycle 0.001108862 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true invalid event modifier: '-msecs' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110517133619.GA6999@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* perf list: Fix max event string sizeIngo Molnar2011-04-291-12/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent stalled-cycles event names were larger than the 40 chars printout used by perf list. Extend that, make it robust for future extensions and also adjust alignments in face of wider event names.

* perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specifiedIngo Molnar2011-04-261-11/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs". The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed to be an event modifier - but is not recognized. This patch changes the code to be more informative: $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true invalid event modifier: '-msecs' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

* perf: make perf stat print user provided full event namesStephane Eranian2011-02-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepointsHan Pingtian2011-01-061-31/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand, such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like this: *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7] .... The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this: $ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'` The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all events, and will overflow the 'filename' at: strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname)); This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has been found.

* perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint eventsCorey Ashford2010-11-301-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas. For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator properly. This patch corrects those issues.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

* perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-211-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace event name<->id mapping is dynamic for each kernel compile.
