2012-05-02perf target: Split out perf_target handling codeNamhyung Kim1-34/+0
For further work on perf_target, it'd be better off splitting the code into a separate file.

2012-05-02perf tools: Check more combinations of PID/TID, UID and CPU switchesNamhyung Kim1-0/+14
There were some combinations of these switches that are not so appropriate IMHO. Since there are implicit priorities between them and they worked well anyway, but it ends up opening useless duplicated events. For example, 'perf stat -t <pid> -a' will open multiple events for the thread instead of one. Add explicit checks and warn user in perf_target__validate().

2012-05-02perf tools: Introduce perf_target__validate() helperNamhyung Kim1-8/+21
The perf_target__validate function is used to check given PID/TID/UID/CPU target options and warn if some combination is impossible. Also this can make some arguments of parse_target_uid() function useless as it is checked before the call via our new helper.

2012-02-14perf tools: Allow multiple threads or processes in record, stat, topDavid Ahern1-3/+3
Allow a user to collect events for multiple threads or processes using a comma separated list. e.g., collect data on a VM and its vhost thread: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 or monitoring vcpu threads perf top -t 21488,21489 perf stat -t 21488,21489 -ddd perf record -t 21488,21489 Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328718772-16688-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2012-01-25perf tools: Introduce per user viewArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+39
The new --uid command line option will show only the tasks for a given user, using the proc interface to figure out the existing tasks. Kernel work is needed to close races at startup, but this should already be useful in many use cases.

2009-06-07perf top: Fall back to cpu-clock-tick hrtimer sampling if no cycle counter ↵Ingo Molnar1-5/+5
available On architectures/CPUs without PMU support but with perfcounters enabled 'perf top' currently fails because it cannot create a cycle based hw-perfcounter. Fall back to the cpu-clock-tick sw-perfcounter in this case, which is hrtimer based and will always work (as long as perfcounters is enabled).

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
