From 47fddcb479e73c341fb414e40a89572dacadd360 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Sun, 27 Dec 2020 00:20:38 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Add 'ping' control command Add a control 'ping' command to detect if perf is up and its control interface is operational. It will be used in following daemon patches to synchronize with record session - when control interface is up and running, we know that perf record is monitoring and ready to receive signals. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack terminal 2: # echo ping > control # cat ack ack Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexei Budankov Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Michael Petlan Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201226232038.390883-5-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/builtin-stat.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/builtin-stat.c') diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c index 46a3f4ab1371..a380e38ca937 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c @@ -623,6 +623,7 @@ static void process_evlist(struct evlist *evlist, unsigned int interval) case EVLIST_CTL_CMD_UNSUPPORTED: case EVLIST_CTL_CMD_EVLIST: case EVLIST_CTL_CMD_STOP: + case EVLIST_CTL_CMD_PING: default: break; } -- cgit v1.2.3
