Subject: [PATCH V6] perf/core: Add aux_pause, aux_resume, aux_start_paused
Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of
trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances
can be useful.
The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do
that.
Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing.
Add aux_pause bit to perf_event_attr to indicate that, if the event
happens, the associated AUX area tracing should be paused. Ditto
aux_resume. Do not allow aux_pause and aux_resume to be set together.
Add aux_start_paused bit to perf_event_attr to indicate to an AUX area
event that it should start in a "paused" state.
Add aux_paused to struct perf_event for AUX area events to keep track of
the "paused" state. aux_paused is initialized to aux_start_paused.
Add PERF_EF_PAUSE and PERF_EF_RESUME modes for ->stop() and ->start()
callbacks. Call as needed, during __perf_event_output(). Add
aux_in_pause_resume to struct perf_buffer to prevent races with the NMI
handler. Pause/resume in NMI context will miss out if it coincides with
another pause/resume.
To use aux_pause or aux_resume, an event must be in a group with the AUX
area event as the group leader.
Example (requires Intel PT and tools patches also):
$ perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/k,syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/,syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.043 MB perf.data ]
