perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring
Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one of following conditions is met: - there's no workload specified (current behaviour) - there is workload specified but all requested events are system wide ones Mixed events core/uncore with workload: $ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/,cycles' sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': <not supported> uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ 980,489 cycles 1.000897406 seconds time elapsed Uncore event with workload: $ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/' sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 281,473,897,192,670 uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ 1.000833784 seconds time elapsed Committer note: When testing I realized the default case for !root, i.e. no events passed via -e, was broke by v2 of this patch, reported and after a patch provided by Jiri it is back working: [acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 0.401335 task-clock:u (msec) # 0.297 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches:u # 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations:u # 0.000 K/sec 48 page-faults:u # 0.120 M/sec 458,146 cycles:u # 1.142 GHz 245,113 instructions:u # 0.54 insn per cycle 47,991 branches:u # 119.578 M/sec 4,022 branch-misses:u # 8.38% of all branches 0.001350029 seconds time elapsed [acme@jouet linux]$ Suggested-and-Tested-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170227094818.GA12764@kravaSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
