| 2020-12-17 | perf record: Support new sample type for data page size |   Kan Liang | |
| Support new sample type PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE for page size. Add new option --data-page-size to record sample data page size.

| 2020-07-10 | perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE |   Adrian Hunter | |
| Add processing for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events. When a text poke event is processed, then the kernel dso data cache is updated with the poked bytes.

| 2020-04-03 | perf tools: Basic support for CGROUP event |   Namhyung Kim | |
| Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking. Each cgroup can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too. The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

| 2020-03-09 | perf evsel: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX | Kan Liang | |
| A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced in latest kernel. Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode. If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off. Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch sample type is set via debug information or header. Committer testing: First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few seconds: # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ] # Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type: # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX # So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event. If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX feature, we get: # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES # No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.

| 2019-11-21 | perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions | Adrian Hunter | |
| Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into line with the kernel version. New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the desired size of the sample. Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e. PERF_SAMPLE_AUX. Committer notes: I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch in this series we would have: # perf test -v parsing 26: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17018 sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: FAILED! # With the two paches combined: # perf test parsing 26: Sample parsing : Ok # Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> | |||
| 2019-09-25 | perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h |   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo | |
| We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can reduce evsel.h a bit more. We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.
