Subject: [PATCHv4 00/24] perf tools: Add daemon command
hi,
we were asked for possibility to be able run record
sessions on background.
This patchset adds support to configure and run record
sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command.
Please check below the example on usage.
Available also here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
perf/daemon
v4 changes:
- update man page gradually in each patch [Arnaldo]
- fixes in network code, add error handling [Arnaldo]
- use readn/writen functions where possible [Arnaldo]
- add more error checks for poll [Arnaldo]
- use strlcpy in socket setup code [Arnaldo]
- free/delete renames [Arnaldo]
- add more error checks in check_base [Namhyung]
- rename session -> daemon_session plus related
functions renames [Namhyung]
- man page updates
v3 changes:
- several patches merged
- add comments to daemon locking [Namhyung]
- split patch 1 to multiple patches [Namhyung]
- add missing allocation checks [Namhyung]
- add comments for session state transitions [Namhyung]
- add base directory check [Namhyung]
- use ',' as default for -x option [Namhyung]
- remove extra close before dup2 [Namhyung]
- add new reconfig test for empty config
- add --base option
v2 changes:
- switch options to sub-commands [Namhyung]
- use signalfd to track on sessions [Alexei]
- use stop command to stop sessions [Alexei]
- couple minor fixes [Alexei]
- more detailed changelogs [Arnaldo]
- added tests
thanks,
jirka

Example with 2 record sessions:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
Check sessions:
# perf daemon
[603349:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[603350:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[603351:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
First line is daemon process info with configured daemon base.
Check sessions with more info:
# perf daemon -v
[603349:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
output: /opt/perfdata/output
lock: /opt/perfdata/lock
up: 1 minutes
[603350:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles
output: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
control: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/control
ack: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/ack
up: 1 minutes
[603351:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-sched
output: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
control: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/control
ack: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/ack
up: 1 minutes
The 'base' path is daemon/session base.
The 'lock' file is daemon's lock file guarding that no other
daemon is running on top of the base.
The 'output' file is perf record output for specific session.
The 'control' and 'ack' files are perf control files.
The 'up' number shows minutes daemon/session is running.
Make sure control session is online:
# perf daemon ping
OK cycles
OK sched
Send USR2 signal to session 'cycles' to generate perf.data file:
# perf daemon signal --session cycles
signal 12 sent to session 'cycles [603452]'
# tail -2 /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020123017013149 ]
Send USR2 signal to all sessions:
# perf daemon signal
signal 12 sent to session 'cycles [603452]'
signal 12 sent to session 'sched [603453]'
# tail -2 /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020123017024689 ]
# tail -2 /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020123017024713 ]
Stop daemon:
# perf daemon stop
