[GIT PULL 0/4] Perf improvements for .36 (perf/core)

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Hi Ingo,

        Please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6 perf/core

	I'll keep perf/urgent for .35 stuff, perf/core now has only things
for .36 and I'm merging perf/urgent into perf/core when you pull from it.

Regards,

- Arnaldo

[PATCH 1/4] perf report: Make -D print sampled CPU

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

It is useful to know on which CPU a sample was captured on.
The information is captured with perf record -R but it was
not printed out by perf report -D. This patch adds this.

When -R is not used, cpu is set to -1to indicate that
the CPU is unknown (it is not captured).

[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Add the ability to specify list of cpus to monitor

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.

Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1

With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.

The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.

Does this also finally allow to build perf in a separate objdir like
the rest of the kernel?

This is how I build it:

make O=~/git/build/perf -j9 -C tools/perf install

was done a few months ago, in:

commit c29ede615fd35a640e771fbbb1778e915fac43a7
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date:   Sat Mar 27 14:30:45 2010 -0300

    perf tools: Allow specifying O= to build files in a separate directory
    
    Avoiding polluting the source tree with build files.

[PATCH 4/4] perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dir

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the
buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to
$HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the
directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification
in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the
subdir hierarchy.

You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space
limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for
remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles.

This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file.  Under the tag
'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have:

$ cat /etc/perfconfig
[buildid]
dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid

All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf
record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands
will it to pull information out.

The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the
$HOME/.perfconfig file.

Yeah, that sounds good! Fixes then propagate into perf/core in due course via 
an -rcx back-merge (or earlier, if they cause conflicts and need to be merged).
