[PATCH 2/3] perf tools: Allow to enable/disable events via control file
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Dec 10 2020 - 15:45:18 EST
Adding new control events to enable/disable specific event.
The interface string for control file are:
'enable-<EVENT NAME>'
'disable-<EVENT NAME>'
when received the command, perf will scan the current evlist
for <EVENT NAME> 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
Events disabled
terminal 2:
# cat perf.pipe | ./perf --no-pager script -i -
terminal 3:
# echo enable-sched:sched_process_fork > control
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
...
event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
terminal 2:
# cat perf.pipe | ./perf --no-pager script -i -
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:
# mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
...
event sched:sched_wakeup_new enabled
terminal 2:
# cat perf.pipe | ./perf --no-pager script -i -
...
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
