      perf stat: Handled scaled == -1 case for counters · b002f3bb
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Arnaldo pointed out that the earlier cb110f47 ("perf stat: Move
noise/running printing into printout") change changed behavior for not
counted counters. This patch fixes it again.

      perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test · 5243ba76
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
auto-tuned:

  # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
  [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
  [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000

Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:

  # perf test -v 21 2>&1  | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
  Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
  [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
  40 /tmp/out
  [root@jouet ~]#

For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

      perf evlist: Handle -EINVAL for sample_freq > max_sample_rate in strerror_open() · d9aade7f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When running the "code reading" test we get:

  # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -5
  Parsing event 'cycles:u'
  perf_evlist__open failed
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Test object code reading: FAILED!
  #

And with -vv we get the errno value, -22, i.e. -EINVAL, but we can do
better and handle the case at hand, with this patch it becomes:

  # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -7
  perf_evlist__open() failed!
  Error: Invalid argument.
  Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
  Hint:  The current value is 1000 and 4000 is being requested.
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Test object code reading: FAILED!
  #

Next patch will make this 'perf test' entry to use perf_evlist__strerror()

      perf record: Add --all-user/--all-kernel options · 85723885
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Allow user to easily switch all events to user or kernel space with simple
--all-user or --all-kernel options.

This will be handy within perf mem/c2c wrappers to switch easily monitoring
modes.

Committer note:

Testing it:

  # perf record --all-kernel --all-user -a sleep 2
   Error: option `all-user' cannot be used with all-kernel
   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

        --all-user        Configure all used events to run in user space.
        --all-kernel      Configure all used events to run in kernel space.
  # perf record --all-user --all-kernel -a sleep 2
   Error: option `all-kernel' cannot be used with all-user
   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

        --all-kernel      Configure all used events to run in kernel space.
        --all-user        Configure all used events to run in user space.

      perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps() · a55e5663
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.

This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:

  $ sudo perf test 21
  21: Test object code reading                                 :***

Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed
in this patch.
