From 991ae4eb36911fe9a99bef1c22b9578ceec3896a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Sun, 27 Dec 2020 00:20:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Allow to enable/disable events via control file Adding new control events to enable/disable specific event. The interface string for control file are: 'enable ' 'disable ' when received the command, perf will scan the current evlist for and if found it's enabled/disabled. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack perf.pipe # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe terminal 2: # cat perf.pipe | perf --no-pager script -i - terminal 1: Events disabled NOTE Above message will show only after read side of the pipe ('>') is started on 'terminal 2'. The 'terminal 1's bash does not execute perf before that, hence the delyaed perf record message. terminal 3: # echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control terminal 1: event sched:sched_process_fork enabled terminal 2: bash 33349 [034] 149587.674295: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34056 bash 33349 [034] 149588.239521: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34057 terminal 3: # echo 'enable sched:sched_wakeup_new' > control terminal 1: event sched:sched_wakeup_new enabled terminal 2: bash 33349 [034] 149632.228023: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34059 bash 33349 [034] 149632.228050: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34059 [120] success=1 CPU:036 bash 33349 [034] 149633.950005: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34060 bash 33349 [034] 149633.950030: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34060 [120] success=1 CPU:036 Committer testing: If I use 'sched:*' and then enable all events, I can't get 'perf record' to react to further commands, so I tested it with: [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe Events disabled Events enabled Events disabled And then it works as expected, so we need to fix this pre-existing problem. Another issue, we need to check if a event is already enabled or disabled and change the message to be clearer, i.e.: [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe Events disabled If we receive a 'disable' command, then it should say: [root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe Events disabled Events already disabled Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexei Budankov Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Michael Petlan Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201226232038.390883-2-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt | 8 +-- tools/perf/builtin-record.c | 8 +-- tools/perf/builtin-stat.c | 2 - tools/perf/util/evlist.c | 63 ++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt index 9087b223e324..5ab78dcbadfb 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt @@ -646,9 +646,11 @@ ctl-fifo / ack-fifo are opened and used as ctl-fd / ack-fd as follows.
