In commit a21b0b35 ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating the file descriptor. This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command. Signed-off-by:

It is possible to record a perf.data file on one architecture and process it on another. Consequently, TSC conversion functions need to be moved out of the arch directory. Signed-off-by:

Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables. Starting with support for verbose, more will come. It's possible to use it now with report command: $ perf --debug verbose ... $ perf --debug verbose=2 ... I'll need this support to add separated debug variable for ordered events change in order to separate debug output out of standard verbose stream. Signed-off-by:

Events like sched_switch do not provide a pid (tgid) which can result in threads with an unknown pid. If the pid is later discovered, join the map groups. Note the thread's map groups should be empty because they are populated by MMAP events which do provide the pid and tid. Signed-off-by:

Add an option to cause a selected event to be enabled immediately when configured by perf_evsel__config(). This is needed when using the sched_switch tracepoint to follow object code execution. By having sched_switch enabled immediately the first sched_switch event precedes the start of other tracing. Signed-off-by:

Add an option to prevent additional samples being added to a selected event by perf_evsel__config(). This is needed when using the sched_switch tracepoint to follow object code execution. Since sched_switch will be used only for switch information, additional sampling is wasteful. Signed-off-by:

Add a flag to 'struct dso' to record if the dso is 64-bit or not. Update the flag when reading the ELF. This is needed for instruction decoding. For example, x86 instruction decoding depends on whether or not the 64-bit instruction set is used. Signed-off-by:

The value used for unknown pids cannot be zero because that is used by the "idle" task. Use -1 instead. Also handle the unknown pid case when creating map groups. Note that, threads with an unknown pid should not occur because fork (or synthesized) events precede the thread's existence. Signed-off-by:

To python scripts, including pid, tid, and cpu for which the event was recorded. At the moment, the pointer to the sample struct is passed to scripts, which seems to be of little use. The patch puts this information in dictionaries for easy access by Python scripts. Signed-off-by:

On s390, the vmexit event has a tree-like structure: between exit_event_begin and exit_event_end several other events may happen and with each of them refining the previous ones. This patch adds a decoder for such events to the generic code and also the files <asm/kvm_perf.h> and kvm-stat.c for s390. Commands 'perf kvm stat record', 'report' and 'live' are supported.

Current code skips output of the x86 specific HLT event in order to avoid flooding the output with enabled --duration option. The events to be skipped should be architecture dependent, though. Let's add an architecture specific array of events to be skipped and introduce a skip_event() function checking against that array. Reviewed-by:

Parts of a 'perf kvm stat' code make sense only for x86. Let's move this code into the arch/x86/kvm-stat.c file and add util/kvm-stat.h for generic structure definitions. Add a global array 'kvm_reg_events_ops' for accessing the arch-specific 'kvm_events_ops' from generic code. Since the several global arrays (i.e. 'kvm_events_tp') have been moved to arch/*, we can not know their sizes and use them directly in builtin-kvm.c. This patch fixes that problem by adding trimming NULL element to each array and changing the behavior of their handlers in generic code. Reviewed-by:

Currently perf-kvm uses string literals for kvm event names, but it works only for x86, because other architectures may have other names for those events. To reduce dependence on architecture, we add <asm/kvm_perf.h> file with defines for: - kvm_entry and kvm_exit events, - exit reason field name in kvm_exit event, - length of exit reasons strings, - vcpu_id field name in kvm trace events, and replace literals in perf-kvm.

The following patch added another way to get mmap name: 78d683e8 ("mm, fs: Add vm_ops->name as an alternative to arch_vma_name") The vdso vma mapping already switch to this and we no longer get vdso name via arch_vma_name function. Adding this way to the perf mmap event name retrieval code. Caught this via perf test: $ sudo ./perf test -v 7 7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : --- start --- SNIP PERF_RECORD_MMAP for [vdso] missing! test child finished with 255 ---- end ---- Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields: FAILED!
