Subject: [PATCH v2] perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2019 15:11:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191108094128.28769-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191108093024.27077-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>
Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.
Sample o/p:
$ ./perf --debug perf-event-open=1 record -- ls > /dev/null
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_kernel 1
mmap 1
comm 1
freq 1
enable_on_exec 1
task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
ksymbol 1
bpf_event 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 8
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 9
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 5 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 10
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 11
sys_perf_event_open: pid 4308 cpu 7 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 12
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 112
config 0x9
watermark 1
sample_id_all 1
bpf_event 1
{ wakeup_events, wakeup_watermark } 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -13
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
