perf report: add --dump-raw-trace option · 97b07b69

Ingo Molnar authored May 26, 2009

To help the inspection of various data files, implement an ASCII dump
method that just dumps the records as they are read in - then we exit.

perf: Don't assume /proc/kallsyms is ordered

Since we _are_ ordering it by the symbol start, just traverse the
freshly built rbtree setting the prev->end members to curr->start - 1.

perf_counter, x86: Make NMI lockups more robust · aaba9801

Ingo Molnar authored May 26, 2009

We have a debug check that detects stuck NMIs and returns with
the PMU disabled in the global ctrl MSR - but i managed to trigger
a situation where this was not enough to deassert the NMI.

So clear/reset the full PMU and keep the disable count balanced when
exiting from here. This way the box produces a debug warning but
stays up and is more debuggable.

perf_counter: powerpc: Implement interrupt throttling · 8a7b8cb9

Paul Mackerras authored May 26, 2009

This implements interrupt throttling on powerpc.  Since we don't have
individual count enable/disable or interrupt enable/disable controls
per counter, this simply sets the hardware counter to 0, meaning that
it will not interrupt again until it has counted 2^31 counts, which
will take at least 2^30 cycles assuming a maximum of 2 counts per
cycle.  Also, we set counter->hw.period_left to the maximum possible
value (2^63 - 1), so we won't report overflows for this counter for
the forseeable future.

The unthrottle operation restores counter->hw.period_left and the
hardware counter so that we will once again report a counter overflow
after counter->hw.irq_period counts.

Introduce a generic per counter interrupt throttle.

This uses the perf_counter_overflow() quick disable to throttle a specific

which can undo the quick disable.

Power needs to implement both the quick disable and the unthrottle method.

perf stat: flip around ':k' and ':u' flags · d3f4b385

Ingo Molnar authored May 25, 2009

This output:

 $ perf stat -e 0:1:k -e 0:1:u ./hello
  Performance counter stats for './hello':
          140131  instructions         (events)
         1906968  instructions         (events)

Is quite confusing - as :k means "user instructions", :u means
"kernel instructions".

Flip them around - as the 'exclude' property is not intuitive in
the flag naming.

perf_counter tools: increase limits, fix · 85a9f920

Ingo Molnar authored May 25, 2009

NR_CPUS and NR_COUNTERS goes up quadratic ... 1024x4096 was far
too ambitious upper limit - go for 256x256 which is still plenty.

perf_counter: Increase mmap limit · a3862d3f

Ingo Molnar authored May 24, 2009

In a default 'perf top' run the tool will create a counter for
each online CPU. With enough CPUs this will eventually exhaust
the default limit.

So scale it up with the number of online CPUs.
