Anything that falls within the event specifiers '/.../' and that is preceded by the '@' symbol is treated as a configurable. Two formats are supported, @cfg and @cfg=config. For example: perf record -e some_event/@cfg1/ ... or perf record -e some_event/@cfg2=config/ ... or perf record -e some_event/@cfg1,@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/@20070000.etr/u --per-thread uname Thanks, Mathieu Changes for V7: - Got rid of a miscellaneous debug message. - Rebased to v4.8-rc4 - Added Jiri Olsa's Acked-by. Changes for V6: - Using sysFS rather than an ioctl() to communicate command line parameters to the CoreSight PMU. Changes for V5: - Made commit log in 5/9 more descriptive. - Addressed missing return code in builtin-top.c. - Overhauled the kernel portion to do parsing in the core. Changes for V4: - Pushing PMU driver configuration for 'perf top'. - Rebased to the latest perf/core branch[1]. Changes for V3: - Added comment for function drv_str() that explains the reason for keeping the entire token intact. - Added driver config terms to the existing list of config terms. - Added documenation for driver specific configuration. - Pushing PMU driver configuration for 'perf stat' as well. - Preventing users from selecting a sink from sysFS _and_ perf. Changes for V2: - Rebased to [1] as per Jiri's request.
