In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.

It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.Reported-by: Franck Bui-Huu

Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
goto error;
}
38 if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
goto error;
icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);43 ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
/*
* 18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
*
* RFC 1122: 3.2.2 Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
* discarded.
*/
50 if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
goto error;$ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'
(2) $ cat trace-icmp.py
[...]

print "in trace_begin"def trace_end():

MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.
Background:
Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use. It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.Signed-off-by: Len Brown

turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.

Before we had sym_counter, it was initialized to zero and we used that
as an index in the global attrs variable, now we have a list of evsel
entries, and sym_counter became sym_evsel, that remained initialized to
zero (NULL): b00m.Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

We need to defer calling perf_evsel_list__delete() till after atexit
registered routines, because we need to traverse the events being
recorded at that time at least on 'perf record'.This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record
called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data
file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart
record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(),
and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would
die with:"no trace data in the file"

That already does what was being done here. The warning is now unconditionally
given by __perf_session__process_pipe_events, just like for non pipe processing.Cc: Frederic Weisbecker

This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file
between command modules and the supporting code in util.It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME
perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree.There were a couple of #include mixed
with #include "../../perf_event.h".This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch
in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually
led perf stat to segfault.Cc: David S. Miller
