2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-02perf_counter tools: Provide helper to print percents colorFrederic Weisbecker
Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the common colored printing of percents according to the following rules: High overhead = > 5%, colored in red Mid overhead = > 0.5%, colored in green Low overhead = < 0.5%, default color Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color() for sites which print percentages and other things at the same time.

2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Share list.h with the kernelArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The copy we were using came from another copy I did for the dwarves (pahole) package, that came from the kernel years ago. The only function that is used by the perf tools and that isn't in the kernel is list_del_range, that I'm leaving in the perf tools only for now.

2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Share rbtree.with the kernelArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three csets: 4b324126e0c6c3a5080ca3ec0981e8766ed6f1ee 4c60117811171d867d4f27f17ea07d7419d45dae 16c047add3ceaf0ab882e3e094d1ec904d02312d So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing the source code while still generating a separate object file, since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Rework the sample ABIPeter Zijlstra
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information. Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type. This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

2009-06-19perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitionsPaul Mackerras
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

2009-06-13perf annotate: Print a sorted summary of annotated overhead linesFrederic Weisbecker
It's can be very annoying to scroll down perf annotated output until we find relevant overhead.

2009-06-13perf annotate: Print the filename:line for annotated colored linesFrederic Weisbecker
When we have a colored line in perf annotate, ie a middle/high overhead one, it's sometimes useful to get the matching line and filename from the source file, especially this path prepares to another subsequent one which will print a sorted summary of midle/high overhead lines in the beginning of the output. Filename:Lines have the same color than the concerned ip lines. It can be slow because it relies on addr2line. We could also use objdump with -l but that implies we would have to bufferize objdump output and parse it to filter the relevant lines since we want to print a sorted summary in the beginning.

2009-06-11perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usageIngo Molnar
A build error slipped in: builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’: builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’ Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks, because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64 instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64), or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

2009-06-06perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directoryIngo Molnar
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because we dont know where to look for the vmlinux. The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in. The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that tools can pick it up automatically.
