perf stat: Use affinity for opening events

2019-11-29T15:20:45Z

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU. This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API. We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead of leaving that to low level functions. It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to a separate loop. Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 42.75 4.050910 67 60046 110 perf_event_open After: 26.86 0.944396 16 58069 110 perf_event_open (the number changes slightly because the weak group retries work differently and the test case relies on weak groups) Committer notes: Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

perf record: Add a function to test for kernel support for AUX area sampling

2019-11-22T13:43:24Z

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine whether the kernel supports it. Committer notes: I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the required bits: # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation: ---- perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the return value and errno. ---- After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is added: # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}' AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Introduce append_tp_filter_pid() and append_tp_filter_pids()

2019-10-09T14:23:52Z

We'll need this to support 'perf trace e tracepoint --filter=expr', as the command line tracepoint filter is attache to the preceding evsel, just like in 'perf record' and when we go to set pid filters, which we do at the minimum to filter 'perf trace' own syscalls, we need to append, not set the tp filter.

perf evlist: Introduce append_tp_filter() method

2019-10-09T14:23:52Z

Will be used by 'perf trace' to support 'perf trace --filter', we need to append to any pre-existing filter. When parse_filter() gets invoked to process --filter, it'll set the filter to that specified on the command line, later on, when we filter out 'perf trace' own pid to avoid an event feedback loop, we need to preserve the command line filter put in place by parse_filter().

perf evlist: Adopt __set_tracepoint_handlers method from perf_session

2019-10-07T15:22:17Z

It all operates on the evsels in the session's evlist, so move it to the evlist layer to make it useful to tools not using perf_session, just evlists, like 'perf trace' in live mode.

perf evlist: Remove unused perf_evlist__fprintf() method

2019-09-25T19:26:40Z

Ditch it, noone is using it, one more stdio.h include in a hot header. Fix the fallout in parse-events.y, where we end up using a FILE pointer, I think due to YYDEBUG being set and in some places, like Amazon Linux 1 we don't get stdio.h included by luck, like in most other places, add a explicit stdio.h include directive.
