The idea is run perf session with kidnapping sys_perf_event_open
function. For each sys_perf_event_open call we store the perf_event_attr
data to the file to be checked later against what we expect.
You can run this by:
$ python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -v
v2 changes:
- preserve errno value in the hook

If git is installed we'll have a 'perf --version' output of this form:
$ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install
$ perf --version
perf version 3.7.rc3.g3afad6
Now on a machine without git installed:
$ mv /home/acme/bin/git /home/acme/bin/git.OFF
$ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install
$ perf --version
perf version 3.7.0-rc2
That is, no error message due to git not being installed will appear on the
screen and instead the version string in the top level Makefile will be
used.

There's another source of overhead in the perf version string generator:
git update-index -q --refresh
... which will iterate the whole checked out tree. This can be pretty
slow on NFS volumes, but takes some time even with local SSD disks and a
fully cached kernel tree:
$ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):
0.306999221 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.56% )
So remove the .dirty differentiator as well - it adds little information
because locally patched git trees are common, but seldom are the perf
tools modified.
So a lot of version strings are reported as 'dirty' while in fact they
are pristine perf builds. For example 99% of my perf builds are not
patched but the kernel tree is slightly patched, which adds the .dirty
tag.
Eliminating that tag speeds up version generation by another order of
magnitude:
$ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3
Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):
0.021270923 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.94% )

Building perf is pretty slow on trees that have a lot of commits
relative to the nearest Git tag. This slowness manifests itself during
version string generation:
$ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b
Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):
2.857503976 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% )
The build can be even slower than that, when one over NFS volumes.
The reason for the slowness is that util/PERF-VERSION-GEN uses "git
describe" to generate the string, which has to count the "number of
commits distance" from the nearest tag - the ".1458." count in the
output above. For that Git had to extract and decompress 1458 Git
objects, which takes time and bandwidth.
But this "number of commits" value is mostly irrelevant in practice. We
either want to know an approximate tag name, or we want to know the
precise sha1.
So this patch simplifies the version string to:
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
which speeds up the version string generation script by an order of
magnitude:
$ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):
0.307633559 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.84% )

Please be noted: current script browser is only for report use, and

The work flow is, users can use function key to list all the available

Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all
support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them
create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data.
Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for
it, also it can some other benefits:
1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs
to know the perf data file name to run that script.
2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file,
this variable can also help.

You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain
may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add
handler in perf inject for merging this events.
My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets
stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event
contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all
stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events.
I use the next sequence of commands for testing:
perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \
-e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \
~/test-program
perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data

Ingo reported (again!) that 'make clean' on perf/traceevent does not
work due to some reason with system header file. Quotes Ingo:
"Note that the old dependency related build failure thought to be
fixed in commit 860df5833e is back:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
'make clean' itself does not work in libtraceevent:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
So I had to clean it out manually:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> git ls-files --others | xargs rm
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent>
and then things build fine."
Try to fix it by excluding system headers from dependency generation.

The nr_events in trace__run was local, but we will need it in other
trace methods, move it to struct trace.
We'll also need the number of events per thread, so introduce a
nr_events method for that in struct thread_trace.

The perf_event__synthesize_threads routine synthesizes all the existing
threads in the system, because we don't have any kernel facilities to
ask for PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM} for existing threads.
It was returning an error as soon as one thread couldn't be synthesized,
which is a bit extreme when, for instance, a forkish workload is
running, like a kernel compile.

There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact
specification of raw hardware events.
Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and
install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible
due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).

Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing
error message. e.g.,
$ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can
boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
sleep: Terminated
which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem. With this
patch:
$ perf record -e cycles:p -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
Error:
'precise' request may not be supported. Try removing 'p' modifier
sleep: Terminated
v2: softened message to 'may not be' supported per Robert's suggestion

The nr_entries in rblist is never decremented when an element
is deleted. Also, use rblist__remove_node to delete a node in

Add automated tests for all events found under PMU/events
directory. Tested events are in the 'cpu/event=xxx/u' format,
where 'xxx' is substituted by every event found.
The 'event=xxx' term is translated to the cpu specific term.
We only check that the event is created (not the real config
numbers) and that the modifier is properly set.
