- Support direct --user-regs arguments in 'perf record', previously the
only way to sample PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER was implicitly selecting it
when recording callchains (Andi Kleen)
- Support showing sampled user regs in 'perf script' (Andi Kleen)
- Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a
group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That
gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a
usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)
% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1
125,366,055 branches (80.02%)
9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%)
24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%)
43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%)
31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%)
- Support metrics in 'stat' and 'list'. A metric is a formula that
uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). (Andi Kleen)
- Add Intel processors vendor event metrics JSON files (Andi Kleen)
- Add 'pid' and 'tid' options to 'perf sched timehist' (David Ahern)
- Generate 'behavior' string table from kernel headers, helps getting
new parameters when synchronizing kernel headers, like MADV_WIPEONFORK
and MADV_KEEPONFORK, that are now beautied (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Improve TUI progress bar by showing how many bytes from a total were
processed (Jiri Olsa)
- Use scandir() to replace readdir(), prep work to have the synthesizing
of PERF_RECORD_ entries for existing threads be multithreaded, making
'perf top' bearable on high core count systems such as Intel's Knights
Landing/Mill (Kan Liang)
- Allow creating a ~/.perfconfig file when setting a variable to its
default value, previously it would bail out and not write such a
file (Taeung Song)
- Introduce wrapper for allowing purely single threaded apps to avoid
the costs of locking (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce hashtable to reduce the cost of thread lookup
- Fix build C++ build wrt poison.h using void pointer arithmetic,
affects only the embedded clang/llvm case, that is disabled by
default (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix leaking rec_argv in error cases (Martin Kepplinger)
- Remove Intel CQM perf test, that infrastructure was nuked (Xiaochen Shen)
