  • Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level
    overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if
    the sort keys were used). Add more help tips and show randomly.

    Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.

    $ perf report | tail
    0.10% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] irq_exit
    0.09% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] flush_smp_call_function_queue

  • Create init functions for exec_cmd.c and pager.c. This allows their
    configuration to be specified at runtime so they can be split out into a
    separate library which can be used by other programs. Their
    configuration is stored in a shared subcmd_config struct.

  • The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
    aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.

    But looking at the state of configuration is difficult and there's no
    documentation about config variables except for the variables in
    perfconfig.example exist.

    So this patch adds a 'perf-config' command with a '--list' option.

    perf config [options]

    display current perf config variables.
    # perf config -l | --list

  • I.e.:

    $ cat ~/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file
    access
    chmod
    creat
    execve
    faccessat
    getcwd
    lstat
    mkdir
    open
    openat
    quotactl
    readlink
    rename
    rmdir
    stat
    statfs
    symlink
    unlink
    $

    Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to
    see the deluge of mouse related activity:

    # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
    Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

    You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

    perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
    #
    # trace --ev probe:vfs_getname --filter-pids 2232 -e file
    0.042 (0.042 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438 ) ...

    0.253 (0.041 ms): mousetweaks/2235 ... [continued]: open()) = 14

    0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235 ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

    Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
    raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

    Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
    in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

  • Adding new 'perf data' command to provide operations over data files.

    The 'perf data convert' sub command is coming in following patch, but
    there's possibility for other useful commands like 'perf data ls' (to
    display perf data file in directory in ls style).
