From 34f439278cef7b1177f8ce24f9fc81dfc6221d3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:05:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.
