One day we'll have support for the "dump raw trace in ASCII" in the TUI frontend, but till then, use the tty code. Reported-by:

Using the same scheme as for git's/perf's pager setup, i.e. if one doesn't want to, on a newt enabled perf binary, to disable the TUI for 'perf report', its just a matter of doing: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# printf "[tui]\n\nreport = off\n" > /root/.perfconfig [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# cat /root/.perfconfig [tui] report = off [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# System wide settings are also possible, by editing /etc/perfconfig, etc, i.e. the git machinery for config files applies to perf as well, so when in doubt where to put your settings, consult the git documentation, if it fails, please let us know.

A writer that gets a reference to the buffer handle disables preemption. When we put that reference, we check if we are the outer most writer and if not, we simply return and defer the head update to the outer most writer. The problem here is that preemption is only reenabled by the outer most, that produces preemption count imbalance for every nested writer that exit. So just don't forget to always re-enable preemption when we put the buffer reference, whoever we are. Fixes lots of sleeping in atomic warnings, visible with lock events recording. Signed-off-by: -

We were still using the pathname found on the MMAP event, that could not be the one we used when recording, so use the build-id cache for that, only falling back to use the pathname in the MMAP event if no build-ids are available. With this we now also are able to do secure, seamless offline annotation. Example: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -g none -v 2> /dev/null | head -10 8.12% Xorg /usr/lib64/libpixman-1.so.0.14.0 0x0000000000026d02 B [.] pixman_rasterize_edges 4.68% firefox /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1/libxul.so 0x00000000005dbdba B [.] 0x000000005dbdba 3.70% swapper /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc6/build/vmlinux 0xffffffff81022cea !

Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned to 4 and not to 8. Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size. This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64. Signed-off-by: -

The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new rcu checks api. We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist: - the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are serialized under the cpuctx mutex. - the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present during such operations. This side happens when a software event is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software event is really attached to the context is made under the ctx->lock. - events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen concurrently with any update side. This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the separate rcu mem space patches in preparation. This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings. Reported-by:

The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for build-id processing. Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the host_machine when processing build-ids. Reported-by:

It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be changed. Here is an example. $ perf stat noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.347031 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 61 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 118 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,138,410,900 cycles # 2070.917 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,062,650,268 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,057,653,466 branches # 1029.678 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 40,267 branch-misses # 0.002 % (scaled from 30.04%) 2,055,961,348 cache-references # 1028.831 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 53,725 cache-misses # 0.027 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001393933 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -B noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.297883 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 59 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 119 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,131,380,160 cycles # 2067.450 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,059,096,507 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,054,681,303 branches # 1028.216 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 25,650 branch-misses # 0.001 % (scaled from 30.05%) 2,056,283,014 cache-references # 1029.017 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 47,097 cache-misses # 0.024 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001391016 seconds time elapsed Cc: David S.
