Message-Id: <1469047100-18131-1-git-send-email-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 14:38:14 -0600 From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@...aro.org> To: acme@...nel.org, jolsa@...nel.org Cc: peterz@...radead.org, mingo@...hat.com, alexander.shishkin@...ux.intel.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org Subject: [PATCH V2 0/6] perf: Driver specific configuration for PMU This patchset adds the possiblity of specifying PMU driver configuration directly from the perf command line. Anything that falls within the event specifiers '/.../' and that is preceeded by the '@' symbol is treated as a configurable. Two formats are supported, @cfg and @cfg=config. For example: perf record -e some_event/@...1/ ... or perf record -e some_event/@...2=config/ ... or perf record -e some_event/@...1,@cfg2=config/ ... The above are all valid configuration and will see the strings 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' sent to the PMU driver for parsing and interpretation using the existing ioctl() mechanism. The primary customers for this feature are the CoreSight drivers where the selection of a sink (where trace data is accumulated) needs to be done in a previous, and separated step, from the launching of the perf command. As such something that used to be a two-step process: # echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/20070000.etr/enable_sink # perf record -e cs_etm//u --per-thread uname is integrated in a single command: # perf record -e cs_etm/@...k=20070000.etr/u --per-thread uname The patches include both the kernel and user space part so that the solution is complete and found in a single place. It is based on [1] and assumes this set [2] has been applied. Thanks, Mathieu Changes for V2: - Rebased to [1] as per Jiri's request.
