Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: New features: - Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields' show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like: perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing tracepoints. The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim) - Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files, culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per Instruction) (Jiri Olsa) - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim) - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with: # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ] # perf report # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }' # Event count (approx.): 1955219195 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 2.86% 0.22% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle 1.05% 0.33% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetObjectElement 1.05% 0.00% kworker/0:3 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] gen6_ring_get_seqno 0.88% 0.17% chrome chrome [.] 0x0000000000ee27ab 0.65% 0.86% firefox libxul.so [.] js::ValueToId<(js::AllowGC)1> 0.64% 0.23% JS Helper libxul.so [.] js::SplayTree<js::jit::LiveRange*, js::jit::LiveRange>::splay 0.62% 1.27% firefox libxul.so [.] js::GetIterator 0.61% 1.74% firefox libxul.so [.] js::NativeSetProperty 0.61% 0.31% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetPropertyByDefining User visible fixes: - Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them, like softice (Jiri Olsa) - Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim) Infrastructure changes: - Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa) - Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa) - Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa) - Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads, like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter) - Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian) - Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
