From c8d6828a6510c9363180ebf662b51d032e0eb85a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 15:24:48 -0700 Subject: perf list: Support long jevents descriptions Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some events have in the event list completely. This patch makes them appear with perf list. Old perf list: baclears: baclears.all [Counts the number of baclears] vs new: perf list -v: ... baclears: baclears.all [The BACLEARS event counts the number of times the front end is resteered, mainly when the Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide a correct prediction and this is corrected by the Branch Address Calculator at the front end. The BACLEARS.ANY event counts the number of baclears for any type of branch] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473978296-20712-13-git-send-email-sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/pmu.c | 15 ++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/perf/util/pmu.c') diff --git a/tools/perf/util/pmu.c b/tools/perf/util/pmu.c index 79242cf9bb79..8ff382cb161d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/pmu.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/pmu.c @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ static int perf_pmu__parse_snapshot(struct perf_pmu_alias *alias, } static int __perf_pmu__new_alias(struct list_head *list, char *dir, char *name, - char *desc, char *val) + char *desc, char *val, char *long_desc) { struct perf_pmu_alias *alias; int ret; @@ -257,6 +257,8 @@ static int __perf_pmu__new_alias(struct list_head *list, char *dir, char *name, } alias->desc = desc ? strdup(desc) : NULL; + alias->long_desc = long_desc ? strdup(long_desc) : + desc ? strdup(desc) : NULL; list_add_tail(&alias->list, list); @@ -274,7 +276,7 @@ static int perf_pmu__new_alias(struct list_head *list, char *dir, char *name, FI buf[ret] = 0; - return __perf_pmu__new_alias(list, dir, name, NULL, buf); + return __perf_pmu__new_alias(list, dir, name, NULL, buf, NULL); } static inline bool pmu_alias_info_file(char *name) @@ -532,7 +534,8 @@ static void pmu_add_cpu_aliases(struct list_head *head) /* need type casts to override 'const' */ __perf_pmu__new_alias(head, NULL, (char *)pe->name, - (char *)pe->desc, (char *)pe->event); + (char *)pe->desc, (char *)pe->event, + (char *)pe->long_desc); } out: @@ -1090,7 +1093,8 @@ static void wordwrap(char *s, int start, int max, int corr) } } -void print_pmu_events(const char *event_glob, bool name_only, bool quiet_flag) +void print_pmu_events(const char *event_glob, bool name_only, bool quiet_flag, + bool long_desc) { struct perf_pmu *pmu; struct perf_pmu_alias *alias; @@ -1138,7 +1142,8 @@ void print_pmu_events(const char *event_glob, bool name_only, bool quiet_flag) if (!aliases[j].name) goto out_enomem; - aliases[j].desc = alias->desc; + aliases[j].desc = long_desc ? alias->long_desc : + alias->desc; j++; } if (pmu->selectable && -- cgit v1.2.2
