      perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types · 8326f44d
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
      method.
      
      This is a 3-dimensional space:
      
             { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
             { load, store, prefetch } x
             { accesses, misses }
      
      User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
      a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
      combination makes sense.)
      
      Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
      Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
      
      Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
      parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
      access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
      both valid aliases.
      
      ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
        and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

      perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config · a21ca2ca
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
      bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.
      
      Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.
      
      Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
      all around counter attribute management.
      
      The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
      to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).
      
      (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
      (PowerPC build-tested.)

      perf_counter: Sleep before refresh using poll in perf top · 0f5486b5
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such
      loop:
      
      while (sleep(delay_secs)) {
      	print_sym_table();
      }
      
      At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay
      to check if we have something from stdin.
      
      It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can
      be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate.
      
      We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between
      refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top
      after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the
      delay_secs latency.
      
      Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures
      since it sleeps the entire timeout here.
