perf trace: Introduce per-event maximum number of events property
Call it 'nr', as in this context it should be expressive enough, i.e.: # perf trace -e sched:*waking/nr=8,call-graph=fp/ 0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=001 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) sched_clock ([kernel.kallsyms]) 3.933 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=001 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) sched_clock ([kernel.kallsyms]) 3.970 IPDL Backgroun/3622 sched:sched_waking:comm=Gecko_IOThread pid=3569 prio=120 target_cpu=003 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) 20.069 IPDL Backgroun/3622 sched:sched_waking:comm=Gecko_IOThread pid=3569 prio=120 target_cpu=003 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) 37.170 IPDL Backgroun/3622 sched:sched_waking:comm=Gecko_IOThread pid=3569 prio=120 target_cpu=003 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) 53.267 IPDL Backgroun/3622 sched:sched_waking:comm=Gecko_IOThread pid=3569 prio=120 target_cpu=003 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) 70.365 IPDL Backgroun/3622 sched:sched_waking:comm=Gecko_IOThread pid=3569 prio=120 target_cpu=003 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) 75.781 Web Content/3649 sched:sched_waking:comm=JS Helper pid=3670 prio=120 target_cpu=000 try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) try_to_wake_up ([kernel.kallsyms]) wake_up_q ([kernel.kallsyms]) futex_wake ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_futex ([kernel.kallsyms]) __x64_sys_futex ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ([kernel.kallsyms]) pthread_cond_signal@@GLIBC_2.3.2 (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) # # perf trace -e sched:*switch/nr=2/,block:*_plug/nr=4/,block:*_unplug/nr=1/,net:*dev_queue/nr=3,max-stack=16/ 0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_switch:swapper/0:0 [120] S ==> trace:3367 [120] 0.046 :0/0 sched:sched_switch:swapper/1:0 [120] S ==> kworker/u16:58:2722 [120] 570.670 irq/50-iwlwifi/680 net:net_dev_queue:dev=wlp3s0 skbaddr=0xffff93498051ef00 len=66 __dev_queue_xmit ([kernel.kallsyms]) 1106.141 jbd2/dm-0-8/476 block:block_plug:[jbd2/dm-0-8] 1106.175 jbd2/dm-0-8/476 block:block_unplug:[jbd2/dm-0-8] 1 1618.088 kworker/u16:30/2694 block:block_plug:[kworker/u16:30] 1810.000 :0/0 net:net_dev_queue:dev=vnet0 skbaddr=0xffff93498051ef00 len=52 __dev_queue_xmit ([kernel.kallsyms]) 3857.974 :0/0 net:net_dev_queue:dev=vnet0 skbaddr=0xffff93498051f900 len=52 __dev_queue_xmit ([kernel.kallsyms]) 4790.277 jbd2/dm-2-8/748 block:block_plug:[jbd2/dm-2-8] 4790.448 jbd2/dm-2-8/748 block:block_plug:[jbd2/dm-2-8] # The global --max-events has precendence: # trace --max-events 3 -e sched:*switch/nr=2/,block:*_plug/nr=4/,block:*_unplug/nr=1/,net:*dev_queue/nr=3,max-stack=16/ 0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_switch:swapper/0:0 [120] S ==> qemu-system-x86:2252 [120] 0.029 qemu-system-x8/2252 sched:sched_switch:qemu-system-x86:2252 [120] D ==> swapper/0:0 [120] 58.047 DNS Res~er #14/31661 net:net_dev_queue:dev=wlp3s0 skbaddr=0xffff9346966af100 len=84 __dev_queue_xmit ([kernel.kallsyms]) __libc_send (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.26.so) # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-s4jswltvh660ughvg9nwngah@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
