Adding new control events to enable/disable specific event.
The interface string for control file are:
'enable <EVENT NAME>'
'disable <EVENT NAME>'
when received the command, perf will scan the current evlist
for <EVENT NAME> and if found it's enabled/disabled.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
terminal 2:
# cat perf.pipe | perf --no-pager script -i -
terminal 1:
Events disabled
NOTE Above message will show only after read side of the pipe ('>')
is started on 'terminal 2'. The 'terminal 1's bash does not execute
perf before that, hence the delyaed perf record message.
terminal 3:
# echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
terminal 1:
event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
terminal 2:
bash 33349 [034] 149587.674295: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34056
bash 33349 [034] 149588.239521: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34057
terminal 3:
# echo 'enable sched:sched_wakeup_new' > control
terminal 1:
event sched:sched_wakeup_new enabled
terminal 2:
bash 33349 [034] 149632.228023: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34059
bash 33349 [034] 149632.228050: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34059 [120] success=1 CPU:036
bash 33349 [034] 149633.950005: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34060
bash 33349 [034] 149633.950030: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34060 [120] success=1 CPU:036
Committer testing:
If I use 'sched:*' and then enable all events, I can't get 'perf record'
to react to further commands, so I tested it with:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events enabled
Events disabled
And then it works as expected, so we need to fix this pre-existing
problem.
Another issue, we need to check if a event is already enabled or
disabled and change the message to be clearer, i.e.:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
If we receive a 'disable' command, then it should say:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events already disabled

Listen on ctl-fd descriptor for command to control measurement.
Available commands:
- 'enable' : enable events
- 'disable' : disable events
- 'snapshot': AUX area tracing snapshot).
+ 'enable' : enable events
+ 'disable' : disable events
+ 'enable name' : enable event 'name'
+ 'disable name' : disable event 'name'
+ 'snapshot' : AUX area tracing snapshot).
Measurements can be started with events disabled using --delay=-1 option. Optionally
send control command completion ('ack\n') to ack-fd descriptor to synchronize with the
