perf: Fix parsing of __print_flags() in TP_printk()

2011-12-05T18:28:47Z

A update is made to the sched:sched_switch event that adds some logic to the first parameter of the __print_flags() that shows the state of tasks. This change cause perf to fail parsing the flags. A simple fix is needed to have the parser be able to process ops within the argument. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Andrew Vagin Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported"

2011-12-05T16:32:40Z

perf stat is failing on PowerPC: Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: Not all events could be opened. commit 370faf1dd046 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events) added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the same. With the patch applied, things work as expected: Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 0.362176 task-clock # 0.623 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 28 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec 1,677,020 cycles # 4.630 GHz stalled-cycles-frontend stalled-cycles-backend 431,220 instructions # 0.26 insns per cycle 101,889 branches # 281.325 M/sec 4,145 branch-misses # 4.07% of all branches 0.000581361 seconds time elapsed Cc: # 3.0+ Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111202093833.5fef7226@kryten Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf python: Fix undefined symbol problem

2011-11-16T12:02:26Z

Recently we made perf_evsel__init call hists__init, which broke the perf python binding: [root@emilia linux]# ./tools/perf/python/twatch.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in import perf ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: hists__init Fix it by moving the hists__init function to its only caller, evsel.c. This way we avoid dragging in other parts of tools/perf/util/ to the perf python binding.

perf top: Fix live annotation in the --stdio interface

2011-11-03T13:31:26Z

In the old --stdio interface the annotation is done just after one selects a symbol, while in --tui, now the default when the required libs are installed, we annotate all symbols with samples so that when annotation is asked we see what happened recently on that symbol. To achieve that the --stdio variant checks if the hist_entry being processed is the one selected by the user via the 's' hotkey. What happens now that we share the hist_entry abstractions with 'perf report' is that for minimizing locking contention multiple rb_trees are used, one for collecting the samples and other to browse/show them after resorting it by number of samples and decay them, which is done periodically. So the simple test in record_precise_ip doesn't work as we move hist_entries between those rb_trees. To fix it just check that the underlying struct symbol associated with those hist_entries is the same.

perf top tui: Don't recalc column widths considering just the first page

2011-11-02T14:54:48Z

It makes sense for the stdio where we can't navigate to the other pages. On the TUI it breaks as soon as we navigate to other pages that have, DSOs with longer names than the ones on the first page.

perf report: Add progress bar when processing time ordered events

So that for large perf.data files the user can have visual feedback that activity is being performed.
