perf stat: Move noise/running printing into printout (2016-02-16 17:13:02 -0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:
User visible:
- Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
# CPU cache info:
# L1 Data 32K [0-1]
# L1 Instruction 32K [0-1]
# L1 Data 32K [2-3]
# L1 Instruction 32K [2-3]
# L2 Unified 256K [0-1]
# L2 Unified 256K [2-3]
# L3 Unified 4096K [0-3]
$
Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to allow, for instance
running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show
the hardware difference. (Jiri Olsa)
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:
# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
<SNIP>
Infrastructure:
- libapi now can also use pr_{warning,info,debug}() and that can be
set by tools using it (Jiri Olsa)
- libapi adopts filename__read_str() from perf, adds sysfs__read_str() (Jiri Olsa)
- Add check for java alternatives cmd in jvmti Makefile, so that it manages
to automatically find the right path for the JDK devel files in Ubuntu like
systems in addition to Fedora like ones (Stephane Eranian)
