2021-06-01	perf record: Move probing cgroup sampling support	Namhyung Kim	1	-0/+10
	I found that checking cgroup sampling support using the missing features doesn't work on old kernels. Because it added both attr.cgroup bit and PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit, it needs to check whichever comes first (usually the actual event, not dummy). But it only checks the attr.cgroup bit which is set only in the dummy event so cannot detect failtures due the sample bits. Also we don't ignore the missing feature and retry, it'd be better checking it with the API probing logic. Committer notes: Extracted the minimal part to check using the new cgroup API probe routine, the part that removes the cgroup member can be left for further discussion.

2020-12-28	perf record: Add --buildid-mmap option to enable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2's build id	Jiri Olsa	1	-0/+10
	Add --buildid-mmap option to enable build id in PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events. It will only work if there's kernel support for that and it disables build id cache (implies --no-buildid). It's also possible to enable it permanently via config option in ~/.perfconfig file: [record] build-id=mmap Also added build_id bit in the verbose output for perf_event_attr: # perf record --buildid-mmap -vv ... perf_event_attr: type 1 size 120 ... build_id 1 Adding also missing text_poke bit. Committer testing: $ perf record -h build Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data -N, --no-buildid-cache do not update the buildid cache --buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits --buildid-mmap Record build-id in map events $ $ perf record --buildid-mmap sleep 1 Failed: no support to record build id in mmap events, update your kernel. $ After adding the needed kernel bits in a test kernel: $ perf record -vv --buildid-mmap sleep 1 \|& grep -m1 build Enabling build id in mmap2 events. $ perf evlist -v cycles:u: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP\|TID\|TIME\|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, build_id: 1 $ Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Budankov <abudankov@huawei.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201214105457.543111-16-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-07-10	perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE	Adrian Hunter	1	-0/+10
	Add processing for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events. When a text poke event is processed, then the kernel dso data cache is updated with the poked bytes.

2020-05-05	perf tools: Move routines that probe for perf API features to separate file	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo	1	-0/+164
	Trying to disentangle this a bit further, unfortunately it uses parse_events(), its interesting to have it separated anyway, so do it.
