* perf/scripts: Tag syscall_name helper as not yet availableFrederic Weisbecker2010-02-252-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | syscall_name() helper, which resolves a syscall arch number to its name, is not yet available as we first need to implement event injection for it to work. Remove it from the documentation or tag its references as unavailable yet. Once it's implemented, we can just revert the current patch.

* perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing optionTom Zanussi2010-02-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting languages. One problem with it is that it falls through and prints the trace as well. The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts. So change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the fall-through problem.

* perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinuxKirill Smelkov2010-02-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load vmlinux. The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

* perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-211-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache. Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have the tools find it when resolving symbols. It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

* perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code linesMasami Hiramatsu2010-01-131-0/+20

Lines without line number (and blue color) means that the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the information of those lines. The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120" shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And "func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function. e.g. # ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080 <kernel/sched.c:1080> * * called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled */ static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay) { struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer; 1086 ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay); hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time); 1090 if (rq == this_rq()) { 1091 hrtimer_restart(timer); 1092 } else if (!rq->hrtick_csd_pending) { 1093 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd, 1094 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1; If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative line number. # ./perf probe --line schedule <schedule:0> asmlinkage void __sched schedule(void) 1 { struct task_struct *prev, *next; unsigned long *switch_count; struct rq *rq; int cpu; need_resched: preempt_disable(); 9 cpu = smp_processor_id(); 10 rq = cpu_rq(cpu); 11 rcu_sched_qs(cpu); 12 prev = rq->curr; 13 switch_count = &prev->nivcsw; Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: systemtap <systemtap@sources.redhat.com> Cc: DLE <dle-develop@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> LKML-Reference: <20100106144534.27218.77939.stgit@dhcp-100-2-132.bos.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the Kernel Summit demo of perf/ftrace/timechart, there was a feature request to have a process filter for timechart so that you can zoom into one or a few processes that you are really interested in. This patch adds basic support for this feature, the -p (--process) option now can select a PID or a process name to be shown. Multiple -p options are allowed, and the combined set will be included in the output.

| * perf timechart: Add a power-only modeArjan van de Ven2009-10-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting. This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces viewable with inkscape. As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

* perf util: Make the timechart SVG width dynamicArjan van de Ven2009-09-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the user to specify the width of the SVG file. This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording (as before).
