* perf tools: Add support for exclusive groups/eventsAndi Kleen2020-10-141-0/+1

Exclusive is implemented in the kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without custom low level API users. Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the existing pinned attribute.

* perf inject: Add --buildid-all optionNamhyung Kim2020-10-131-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like 'perf record', we can even more speedup build-id processing by just using all DSOs. Then we don't need to look at all the sample events anymore.

* perf stat: Add --for-each-cgroup optionNamhyung Kim2020-09-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup. This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup on user's behalf. For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G) on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6 events and 200 cgroups with a new option. A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A' and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below. $ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 988.18 msec cpu-clock A # 0.987 CPUs utilized 3,153,761,702 cycles A # 3.200 GHz (100.00%) 8,067,769,847 instructions A # 2.57 insn per cycle (100.00%) 982.71 msec cpu-clock B # 0.982 CPUs utilized 3,136,093,298 cycles B # 3.182 GHz (99.99%) 8,109,619,327 instructions B # 2.58 insn per cycle (99.99%) 1.001228054 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924124455.336326-3-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* perf stat: Support new per thread TopDown metricsAndi Kleen2020-09-171-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Icelake has support for reporting per thread TopDown metrics. These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support, each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots". We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore. Teach perf stat --topdown to handle these new metrics and print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics. The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is gone.

So we don't need extra option '--tracer' in this case. This patch changes the behavior as below: - If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used. - If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used. - The function_graph has priority over function tracer. - The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N is specified. Here are some examples. This will start tracing all functions using default tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace This will trace all functions using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G '*' This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read Committer notes: Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify the above examples: # perf ftrace -h -G -G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -g -g, --nograph-funcs <func> Set nograph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -T -T, --trace-funcs <func> trace given functions only # perf ftrace -h -N -N, --notrace-funcs <func> do not trace given functions # Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200808023141.14227-2-changbin.du@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.
