+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+libperf-counting - counting interface
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The counting interface provides API to measure and get count for specific perf events.
+
+The following test tries to explain count on `counting.c` example.
+
+It is by no means complete guide to counting, but shows libperf basic API for counting.
+
+The `counting.c` comes with libperf package and can be compiled and run like:
+
+[source,bash]
+--
+$ gcc -o counting counting.c -lperf
+$ sudo ./counting
+count 176792, enabled 176944, run 176944
+count 176242, enabled 176242, run 176242
+--
+
+It requires root access, because of the `PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK` event,
+which is available only for root.
+
+The `counting.c` example monitors two events on the current process and displays
+their count, in a nutshell it:
+
+* creates events
+* adds them to the event list
+* opens and enables events through the event list
+* does some workload
+* disables events
+* reads and displays event counts
+* destroys the event list
+
+The first thing you need to do before using libperf is to call init function:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+  8 static int libperf_print(enum libperf_print_level level,
+  9                          const char *fmt, va_list ap)
+ 10 {
+ 11         return vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap);
+ 12 }
+
+ 14 int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ 15 {
+ ...
+ 35         libperf_init(libperf_print);
+--
+
+It will setup the library and sets function for debug output from library.
+
+The `libperf_print` callback will receive any message with its debug level,
+defined as:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+enum libperf_print_level {
+        LIBPERF_ERR,
+        LIBPERF_WARN,
+        LIBPERF_INFO,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG2,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG3,
+};
+--
+
+Once the setup is complete we start by defining specific events using the `struct perf_event_attr`.
+
+We create software events for cpu and task:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 20         struct perf_event_attr attr1 = {
+ 21                 .type        = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE,
+ 22                 .config      = PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK,
+ 23                 .read_format = PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING,
+ 24                 .disabled    = 1,
+ 25         };
+ 26         struct perf_event_attr attr2 = {
+ 27                 .type        = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE,
+ 28                 .config      = PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK,
+ 29                 .read_format = PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING,
+ 30                 .disabled    = 1,
+ 31         };
+--
+
+The `read_format` setup tells perf to include timing details together with each count.
+
+Next step is to prepare threads map.
+
+In this case we will monitor current process, so we create threads map with single pid (0):
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 37         threads = perf_thread_map__new_dummy();
+ 38         if (!threads) {
+ 39                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create threads\n");
+ 40                 return -1;
+ 41         }
+ 42
+ 43         perf_thread_map__set_pid(threads, 0, 0);
+--
+
+Now we create libperf's event list, which will serve as holder for the events we want:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 45         evlist = perf_evlist__new();
+ 46         if (!evlist) {
+ 47                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create evlist\n");
+ 48                 goto out_threads;
+ 49         }
+--
+
+We create libperf's events for the attributes we defined earlier and add them to the list:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 51         evsel = perf_evsel__new(&attr1);
+ 52         if (!evsel) {
+ 53                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create evsel1\n");
+ 54                 goto out_evlist;
+ 55         }
+ 56
+ 57         perf_evlist__add(evlist, evsel);
+ 58
+ 59         evsel = perf_evsel__new(&attr2);
+ 60         if (!evsel) {
+ 61                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create evsel2\n");
+ 62                 goto out_evlist;
+ 63         }
+ 64
+ 65         perf_evlist__add(evlist, evsel);
+--
+
+Configure event list with the thread map and open events:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 67         perf_evlist__set_maps(evlist, NULL, threads);
+ 68
+ 69         err = perf_evlist__open(evlist);
+ 70         if (err) {
+ 71                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to open evsel\n");
+ 72                 goto out_evlist;
+ 73         }
+--
+
+Both events are created as disabled (note the `disabled = 1` assignment above),
+so we need to enable the whole list explicitly (both events).
+
+From this moment events are counting and we can do our workload.
+
+When we are done we disable the events list.
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 75         perf_evlist__enable(evlist);
+ 76
+ 77         while (count--);
+ 78
+ 79         perf_evlist__disable(evlist);
+--
+
+Now we need to get the counts from events, following code iterates through the
+events list and read counts:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 81         perf_evlist__for_each_evsel(evlist, evsel) {
+ 82                 perf_evsel__read(evsel, 0, 0, &counts);
+ 83                 fprintf(stdout, "count %llu, enabled %llu, run %llu\n",
+ 84                         counts.val, counts.ena, counts.run);
+ 85         }
+--
+
+And finally cleanup.
+
+We close the whole events list (both events) and remove it together with the threads map:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 87         perf_evlist__close(evlist);
+ 88
+ 89 out_evlist:
+ 90         perf_evlist__delete(evlist);
+ 91 out_threads:
+ 92         perf_thread_map__put(threads);
+ 93         return err;

+NAME
+----
+libperf-sampling - sampling interface
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The sampling interface provides API to measure and get count for specific perf events.
+
+The following test tries to explain count on `sampling.c` example.
+
+It is by no means complete guide to sampling, but shows libperf basic API for sampling.
+
+The `sampling.c` comes with libperf package and can be compiled and run like:
+
+[source,bash]
+--
+$ gcc -o sampling sampling.c -lperf
+$ sudo ./sampling
+cpu   0, pid      0, tid      0, ip     ffffffffad06c4e6, period                    1
+cpu   0, pid   4465, tid   4469, ip     ffffffffad118748, period             18322959
+cpu   0, pid      0, tid      0, ip     ffffffffad115722, period             33544846
+cpu   0, pid   4465, tid   4470, ip         7f84fe0cdad6, period             23687474
+cpu   0, pid      0, tid      0, ip     ffffffffad9e0349, period             34255790
+cpu   0, pid   4465, tid   4469, ip     ffffffffad136581, period             38664069
+cpu   0, pid      0, tid      0, ip     ffffffffad9e55e2, period             21922384
+cpu   0, pid   4465, tid   4470, ip         7f84fe0ebebf, period             17655175
+...
+--
+
+It requires root access, because it uses hardware cycles event.
+
+The `sampling.c` example profiles/samples all CPUs with hardware cycles, in a
+nutshell it:
+
+- creates events
+- adds them to the event list
+- opens and enables events through the event list
+- sleeps for 3 seconds
+- disables events
+- reads and displays recorded samples
+- destroys the event list
+
+The first thing you need to do before using libperf is to call init function:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 12 static int libperf_print(enum libperf_print_level level,
+ 13                          const char *fmt, va_list ap)
+ 14 {
+ 15         return vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap);
+ 16 }
+
+ 23 int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ 24 {
+ ...
+ 40         libperf_init(libperf_print);
+--
+
+It will setup the library and sets function for debug output from library.
+
+The `libperf_print` callback will receive any message with its debug level,
+defined as:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+enum libperf_print_level {
+        LIBPERF_ERR,
+        LIBPERF_WARN,
+        LIBPERF_INFO,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG2,
+        LIBPERF_DEBUG3,
+};
+--
+
+Once the setup is complete we start by defining cycles event using the `struct perf_event_attr`:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 29         struct perf_event_attr attr = {
+ 30                 .type        = PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE,
+ 31                 .config      = PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES,
+ 32                 .disabled    = 1,
+ 33                 .freq        = 1,
+ 34                 .sample_freq = 10,
+ 35                 .sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_IP|PERF_SAMPLE_TID|PERF_SAMPLE_CPU|PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
+ 36         };
+--
+
+Next step is to prepare CPUs map.
+
+In this case we will monitor all the available CPUs:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 42         cpus = perf_cpu_map__new(NULL);
+ 43         if (!cpus) {
+ 44                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create cpus\n");
+ 45                 return -1;
+ 46         }
+--
+
+Now we create libperf's event list, which will serve as holder for the cycles event:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 48         evlist = perf_evlist__new();
+ 49         if (!evlist) {
+ 50                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create evlist\n");
+ 51                 goto out_cpus;
+ 52         }
+--
+
+We create libperf's event for the cycles attribute we defined earlier and add it to the list:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 54         evsel = perf_evsel__new(&attr);
+ 55         if (!evsel) {
+ 56                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to create cycles\n");
+ 57                 goto out_cpus;
+ 58         }
+ 59
+ 60         perf_evlist__add(evlist, evsel);
+--
+
+Configure event list with the cpus map and open event:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 62         perf_evlist__set_maps(evlist, cpus, NULL);
+ 63
+ 64         err = perf_evlist__open(evlist);
+ 65         if (err) {
+ 66                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to open evlist\n");
+ 67                 goto out_evlist;
+ 68         }
+--
+
+Once the events list is open, we can create memory maps AKA perf ring buffers:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 70         err = perf_evlist__mmap(evlist, 4);
+ 71         if (err) {
+ 72                 fprintf(stderr, "failed to mmap evlist\n");
+ 73                 goto out_evlist;
+ 74         }
+--
+
+The event is created as disabled (note the `disabled = 1` assignment above),
+so we need to enable the events list explicitly.
+
+From this moment the cycles event is sampling.
+
+We will sleep for 3 seconds while the ring buffers get data from all CPUs, then we disable the events list.
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 76         perf_evlist__enable(evlist);
+ 77         sleep(3);
+ 78         perf_evlist__disable(evlist);
+--
+
+Following code walks through the ring buffers and reads stored events/samples:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 80         perf_evlist__for_each_mmap(evlist, map, false) {
+ 81                 if (perf_mmap__read_init(map) < 0)
+ 82                         continue;
+ 83
+ 84                 while ((event = perf_mmap__read_event(map)) != NULL) {
+
+                            /* process event */
+
+108                         perf_mmap__consume(map);
+109                 }
+110                 perf_mmap__read_done(map);
+111         }
+
+--
+
+Each sample needs to get parsed:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+ 85                         int cpu, pid, tid;
+ 86                         __u64 ip, period, *array;
+ 87                         union u64_swap u;
+ 88
+ 89                         array = event->sample.array;
+ 90
+ 91                         ip = *array;
+ 92                         array++;
+ 93
+ 94                         u.val64 = *array;
+ 95                         pid = u.val32[0];
+ 96                         tid = u.val32[1];
+ 97                         array++;
+ 98
+ 99                         u.val64 = *array;
+100                         cpu = u.val32[0];
+101                         array++;
+102
+103                         period = *array;
+104
+105                         fprintf(stdout, "cpu %3d, pid %6d, tid %6d, ip %20llx, period %20llu\n",
+106                                 cpu, pid, tid, ip, period);
+--
+
+And finally cleanup.
+
+We close the whole events list (both events) and remove it together with the threads map:
+
+[source,c]
+--
+113 out_evlist:
+114         perf_evlist__delete(evlist);
+115 out_cpus:
+116         perf_cpu_map__put(cpus);
+117         return err;
+118 }

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The libperf library provides an API to access the linux kernel perf
+events subsystem.
+
+Following objects are key to the libperf interface:
+
+[horizontal]
+
+struct perf_cpu_map:: Provides a CPU list abstraction.
+
+struct perf_thread_map:: Provides a thread list abstraction.
+
+struct perf_evsel:: Provides an abstraction for single a perf event.
+
+struct perf_evlist:: Gathers several struct perf_evsel object and performs functions on all of them.
+
+struct perf_mmap:: Provides an abstraction for accessing perf ring buffer.
+
+The exported API functions bind these objects together.
