Hi Masami,
In tools/perf constructors are named <CLASS>__new, and right now I want to know hoe many of each <CLASS> objects are being allocated, so I expected to be able to do:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -a "*__new" Probe point '*__new' not found. Error: Failed to add events. [root@zoo ~]#
And get the same result that I get from:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf `perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -F | grep __new | sed 's/^/-a /g' | sort -u` Added new event: probe_perf:call_path__new (on call_path__new in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:call_path__new -aR sleep 1
Added new event: probe_perf:call_path_root__new (on call_path_root__new in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:call_path_root__new -aR sleep 1
Added new event: probe_perf:call_return_processor__new (on call_return_processor__new in /home/acme/bin/perf)
<SNIP>
I.e. that I end up with:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -l 2>&1 | grep probe_perf:.*__new probe_perf:call_path__new (on call_path__new@util/thread-stack.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:call_path_root__new (on call_path_root__new@util/thread-stack.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:call_return_processor__new (on call_return_processor__new@util/thread-stack.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:comm__new (on comm__new@util/comm.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:cpu_map__new (on cpu_map__new@util/cpumap.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:debuginfo__new (on debuginfo__new@util/probe-finder.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:disasm_line__new (on disasm_line__new@util/annotate.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:dso__new (on dso__new@util/dso.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:dso__new_map (on dso__new_map@util/dso.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:fdarray__new (on fdarray__new@fd/array.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:hist_browser__new (on hist_browser__new@ui/browsers/hists.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) <SNIP> probe_perf:thread_map__new_by_uid (on thread_map__new_by_uid@util/thread_map.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:thread_map__new_dummy (on thread_map__new_dummy@util/thread_map.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:thread_map__new_str (on thread_map__new_str@util/thread_map.c in /home/acme/bin/perf) [root@zoo ~]#
Some more goodies to have, please consider better compressing the output of successfully installed probes, Something like:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf `perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -F | grep __new | sed 's/^/-a /g' | sort -u` Added 46 new events: probe_perf:call_path__new (on call_path__new in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:call_path_root__new (on call_path_root__new in /home/acme/bin/perf) probe_perf:call_return_processor__new (on call_return_processor__new in /home/acme/bin/perf) <SNIP>
You can now use them in all perf tools, e.g.:
perf record -e probe_perf:call_path_root__new -aR sleep 1
------
Also that -l should output to stdout, so that we can grep it, also it would be nice if it -l worked like in perf list:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -l probe_perf:* Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number. Error: Command Parse Error. [root@zoo ~]#
Fails, but:
[root@zoo ~]# perf list *:*switch*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cfg80211:cfg80211_ch_switch_notify [Tracepoint event] cfg80211:rdev_channel_switch [Tracepoint event] mac80211:api_chswitch_done [Tracepoint event] mac80211:drv_channel_switch [Tracepoint event] mac80211:drv_channel_switch_beacon [Tracepoint event] mac80211:drv_switch_vif_chanctx [Tracepoint event] sched:sched_switch [Tracepoint event]
[root@zoo ~]#
Works :-)
