Setup control fifos for session and add --control option to session arguments.
Example: # cat ~/.perfconfig [daemon] base=/opt/perfdata [session-cycles] run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a [session-sched] run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a Starting the daemon: # perf daemon start Use can list control fifos with (control and ack files): # perf daemon -v [776459:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata output: /opt/perfdata/output lock: /opt/perfdata/lock [776460:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a base: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles output: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output control: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/control ack: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/ack [776461:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a base: /opt/perfdata/session-sched output: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output control: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/control ack: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/ack Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jo...@kernel.org> --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-daemon.txt | 3 +++ tools/perf/builtin-daemon.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-daemon.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-daemon.txt index 3c9e265858b2..b1acd468b89c 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-daemon.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-daemon.txt @@ -37,6 +37,9 @@ flight recorder sessions in above example or session that is configured to produce data periodically, like with --switch-output configuration for time and size. +Each session is started with control setup (with perf record --control +options). + OPTIONS ------- -v:: diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-daemon.c b/tools/perf/builtin-daemon.c index 22b2ec18b01b..7414041ae31d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-daemon.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-daemon.c @@ -32,6 +32,8 @@ #include "util.h" #define SESSION_OUTPUT "output" +#define SESSION_CONTROL "control" +#define SESSION_ACK "ack" /* * Session states: @@ -74,6 +76,7 @@ struct daemon_session { char *base; char *name; char *run; + char *control; int pid; struct list_head list; enum daemon_session_state state; @@ -365,7 +368,18 @@ static int daemon_session__run(struct daemon_session *session, dup2(fd, 2); close(fd); - scnprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s record %s", daemon->perf, session->run); + if (mkfifo(SESSION_CONTROL, O_RDWR) && errno != EEXIST) { + perror("failed: create control fifo"); + return -1; + } + + if (mkfifo(SESSION_ACK, O_RDWR) && errno != EEXIST) { + perror("failed: create ack fifo"); + return -1; + } + + scnprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s record --control=fifo:%s,%s %s", + daemon->perf, SESSION_CONTROL, SESSION_ACK, session->run); argv = argv_split(buf, &argc); if (!argv) @@ -603,6 +617,12 @@ static int cmd_session_list(struct daemon *daemon, union cmd *cmd, FILE *out) /* session output */ csv_sep, session->base, SESSION_OUTPUT); + fprintf(out, "%c%s/%s%c%s/%s", + /* session control */ + csv_sep, session->base, SESSION_CONTROL, + /* session ack */ + csv_sep, session->base, SESSION_ACK); + fprintf(out, "\n"); } else { fprintf(out, "[%d:%s] perf record %s\n", @@ -613,6 +633,10 @@ static int cmd_session_list(struct daemon *daemon, union cmd *cmd, FILE *out) session->base); fprintf(out, " output: %s/%s\n", session->base, SESSION_OUTPUT); + fprintf(out, " control: %s/%s\n", + session->base, SESSION_CONTROL); + fprintf(out, " ack: %s/%s\n", + session->base, SESSION_ACK); } } -- 2.29.2
