The test attr suite is run only if it's run under perf source directory, or tests are found in installed path. Otherwise tests are omitted (notification is displayed) and finished as successful. Signed-off-by:

The idea is run perf session with kidnapping sys_perf_event_open function. For each sys_perf_event_open call we store the perf_event_attr data to the file to be checked later against what we expect. You can run this by: $ python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -v v2 changes: - preserve errno value in the hook Signed-off-by:

If git is installed we'll have a 'perf --version' output of this form: $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.rc3.g3afad6 Now on a machine without git installed: $ mv /home/acme/bin/git /home/acme/bin/git.OFF $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.0-rc2 That is, no error message due to git not being installed will appear on the screen and instead the version string in the top level Makefile will be used.

There's another source of overhead in the perf version string generator: git update-index -q --refresh ... which will iterate the whole checked out tree. This can be pretty slow on NFS volumes, but takes some time even with local SSD disks and a fully cached kernel tree: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.306999221 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.56% ) So remove the .dirty differentiator as well - it adds little information because locally patched git trees are common, but seldom are the perf tools modified. So a lot of version strings are reported as 'dirty' while in fact they are pristine perf builds. For example 99% of my perf builds are not patched but the kernel tree is slightly patched, which adds the .dirty tag. Eliminating that tag speeds up version generation by another order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.021270923 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.94% ) (Also clean up some of the comments around this code.)

Building perf is pretty slow on trees that have a lot of commits relative to the nearest Git tag. This slowness manifests itself during version string generation: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 2.857503976 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) The build can be even slower than that, when one over NFS volumes. The reason for the slowness is that util/PERF-VERSION-GEN uses "git describe" to generate the string, which has to count the "number of commits distance" from the nearest tag - the ".1458." count in the output above. For that Git had to extract and decompress 1458 Git objects, which takes time and bandwidth. But this "number of commits" value is mostly irrelevant in practice. We either want to know an approximate tag name, or we want to know the precise sha1. So this patch simplifies the version string to: PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty which speeds up the version string generation script by an order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.307633559 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.84% ) Signed-off-by: -

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements, fixes and code move from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * Initialize 'page_size' variable in the python binding, this was sent for perf/urgent by mistake, then when merging Ingo removed it, fixing the problem for perf/urgent, but when perf/urgent was merged with perf/core, where that initialization is needed, made the python binding mmap call to fail, fix it by initializing page_size again. * Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the report and annotate browsers. It does filtering to find the scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used. From Feng Tang * Move some functions from symbol.c to more appropriate files, creating dso.[ch] in the process, no code changes. From Jiri Olsa * Fix mmap error output message for when perf_mmap fails and returns !-EPERM, where the default for mmap_pages, INT_MAX, was causing a !power of 2 error message, fix from Jiri Olsa.

The commit 0c1fe6b2: 'perf tools: Have the page size value available for all tools' Broke the python binding because the global variable 'page_size' is initialized on the main() routine, that is not called when using just the python binding, causing evlist.mmap() to fail because it expects that variable to be initialized to the system's page size. Fix it by initializing it on the binding init routine. Reported-by:

The mmap_pages default value is not power of 2 (UINT_MAX). Together with perf_evlist__mmap function returning error value different from EPERM, we get misleading error message: "--mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two." Fixing this by adding extra check for UINT_MAX value for this error condition. Signed-off-by:

Create a script browser, so that user can check all the available scripts for current perf data file and run them inside the main perf report or annotation browsers, for all perf samples or for samples belong to one thread/symbol. Please be noted: current script browser is only for report use, and doesn't cover the record phase, IOW it must run against one existing perf data file. The work flow is, users can use function key to list all the available scripts for current perf data file in system and chose one, which will be executed with popen("perf script -s xxx.xx",) and all the output lines are put into one ui browser, pressing 'q' or left arrow key will make it return to previous browser.

As suggested by Arnaldo, many scripts have their own usages and need capture specific events or tracepoints, so only those scripts whose target events match the events in current perf data file should be listed in the script browser menu. This patch will add the event match checking, by opening "xxx-record" script to cherry pick out all events name and comparing them with those inside the perf data file. Signed-off-by:

Feng Tang authored
Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data. Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for it, also it can some other benefits: 1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs to know the perf data file name to run that script. 2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file, this variable can also help. Signed-off-by:

You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add handler in perf inject for merging this events. My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events. I use the next sequence of commands for testing: perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \ ~/test-program perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data 100.00% foo [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule | --- __schedule schedule | |--79.75%-- schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock | schedule_hrtimeout_range | poll_schedule_timeout | do_select | core_sys_select | sys_select | system_call_fastpath | __select | __libc_start_main | --20.25%-- do_nanosleep hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep system_call_fastpath __GI___libc_nanosleep __libc_start_main And here is test-program.c: #include<unistd.h> #include<time.h> #include<sys/select.h> int main() { struct timespec ts1; struct timeval tv1; int i; long s; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ts1.tv_sec = 0; ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000; nanosleep(&ts1, NULL); tv1.tv_sec = 0; tv1.tv_usec = 40000; select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1); } return 1; } Signed-off-by:Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344344165-369636-4-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org [ committer note: Made it use evsel->handler ] Signed-off-by:
