* perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpcRavi Bangoria2019-02-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes "/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC. This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2018-December/182596.html Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Dick Fowles <fowles@inreach.com> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Joe Mario <jmario@redhat.com> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190129132412.771-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* perf mem: Allow all record/report optionsAndi Kleen2018-04-181-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For perf mem report / perf mem record, pass all unknown options through to the underlying report/record commands. This makes things like perf mem record -a sleep 1 work. Matches how c2c and other tools work.

* perf mem: Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneouslyStephane Eranian2015-01-211-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this patch, one run is sufficient to collect both. It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the -t option: $ perf mem -t load rec $ perf mem -t load rep Or $ perf mem -t store rec $ perf mem -t store rep The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will contain a Weight column which will be empty. In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as per LKML feedback. In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.

* perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profilingStephane Eranian2013-04-011-0/+48
This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec ..... To record stores: $ perf mem -t store rec .....
