From 626a6b784e91bc61ca9fe0f9dd5bb60cb91ccb6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 08:34:45 +0000 Subject: perf tools: Enable overwrite settings This patch allows following config terms and option: Globally setting events to overwrite; # perf record --overwrite ... Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite. # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ... # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ... Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because the longest string length has changed. For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward since perf requires it to be backward for reading. Test result: # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ] # perf evlist -v syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1 # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Nilay Vaish Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468485287-33422-14-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: He Kuang Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/parse-events.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/util/parse-events.h') diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h index b4aa7eb2df73..d1edbf8cc66a 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h @@ -69,6 +69,8 @@ enum { PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NOINHERIT, PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_INHERIT, PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_MAX_STACK, + PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NOOVERWRITE, + PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_OVERWRITE, __PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NR, }; -- cgit v1.2.3
