Decoding auxtrace data can take a long time. To avoid decoding unnecessarily, filter auxtrace data that is collected per-cpu before it is decoded. Signed-off-by:

CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packets provide an indication of CPU frequency. A more accurate measure can be made by counting the cycles (given by CYC packets) in between other timing packets (either MTC or TSC). Using TSC packets has at least 2 issues: 1) timing might have stopped (e.g. mwait) or 2) TSC packets within PSB+ might slip past CYC packets. For now, simply do not use TSC packets for calculating CPU cycles to TSC. That leaves the case where 2 MTC packets are used, otherwise falling back to the CBR value. Signed-off-by:

Synthesize new power and ptwrite events. Power events report changes to C-state but I have also added support for the existing CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet and included that when outputting power events. The PTWRITE packet is associated with the new "ptwrite" instruction, which is essentially just a way to stuff a 32 or 64 bit value into the PT trace. More details can be found in the patches that add documentation and in the Intel SDM. Signed-off-by:

Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE trace packet. Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will be done by synthesizing an attribute for it. So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events. Different synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'. Committer notes: Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U), i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0). Signed-off-by:

The warning(str_error_r(errno)) pattern can be replaced with a function, do it. And while at it use pr_warning(), we have way too many error reporting facilities, time to drop some, starting with the one we got from the git sources.

This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15 (perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa. Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this test can be executed on. For example: arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform. This does not break existing behavior. The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m output. If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is inverted, for example for arch = !s390x,ppc the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms. The exclamation mark must be at the beginnning of the list. Here is an example debug output: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2 arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new loading expected events Event event:base-stat fd = 1 group_fd = -1 ..... Here is the output when a test is skipped: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C1 arch = !s390x [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: test limitation '!s390x' <--- new skipped [s390x] './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' <--- new The test is skipped with return code 0.
