2009-11-16perf buildid-list: New plumbing commandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+1
With this we can list the buildids in a perf.data file so that we can pipe them to other, distro specific tools that from the buildids can figure out separate packages (foo-debuginfo) where we can find the matching symtabs so that perf report can do its job.

2009-10-12perf: Add perf probe subcommand, a kprobe-event setup helperMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+3
Add perf probe subcommand that implements a kprobe-event setup helper to the perf command. This allows user to define kprobe events using C expressions (C line numbers, C function names, and C local variables). Usage ----- perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...] -k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux/module pathname -P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]> probe point definition, where p: kprobe probe r: kretprobe probe GRP: Group name (optional) NAME: Event name FUNC: Function name OFFS: Offset from function entry (in byte) SRC: Source code path LINE: Line number ARG: Probe argument (local variable name or kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.) Changes in v4: - Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup(). Changes in v3: - Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel. - Check malloc/calloc results. Changes in v2: - Check synthesized string length. - Rename perf kprobe to perf probe. - Use spaces for separator and update usage comment. - Check error paths in parse_probepoint(). - Check optimized-out variables.

2009-09-19perf: Add the timechart toolArjan van de Ven1-0/+1
timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system. The user makes a trace of what is going on with > perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command and then can turn the output of this into an svg file > perf timechart which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well enough for me. The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable" picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a specific area.

2009-08-17perf tools: Add perf traceFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools.
