[PATCH 08/27] perf stat: Add transaction flag (-T) support for s390

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jul 25 2018 - 14:01:11 EST


From: Thomas Richter <tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The 'perf stat' command line flag -T to display transaction counters is
currently supported for x86 only.

Add support for s390. It is based on the metrics flag -M transaction
using the architecture dependent JSON files. This requires a metric
named "transaction" in the JSON files for the platform.

Introduce a new function metricgroup__has_metric() to check for the
existence of a metric_name transaction.

As suggested by Andi Kleen, this is the new approach to support
transactions counters. Other architectures will follow.

Output before:

[root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- sleep 1
Cannot set up transaction events
[root@p23lp27 perf]#

Output after:

[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- ~/mytesttx 1 >/tmp/111

Performance counter stats for '/root/mytesttx 1':

1 tx_c_tend # 13.0 transaction
1 tx_nc_tend
11 tx_nc_tabort
0 tx_c_tabort_special
0 tx_c_tabort_no_special

0.001070109 seconds time elapsed

[root@s35lp76 perf]#
