As Namhyung Kim pointed, there are confused namings and descriptions of words "cycle" and "clock" in mem-memset.c and mem-memcpy.c. With the option "-c" (or "--clock", now renamed as "--cycle"), mem subsystem measures cost of memset() and memcpy() with cpu-cycles event. But current mem subsystem source code contains lots of confused variable namings and descriptions with "clock" (e.g. the variable use_clock). This is a very bad style because there is another software event named "cpu-clock". This patch replaces wrong usage of "clock" to "cycle". v2: modified Documentation/perf-bench.txt for the descriptions of --cycle option Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <h.mitake@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1341236777-18457-1-git-send-email-h.mitake@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This 'perf bench' command is a general framework for benchmark suites.
|
|
|
|
COMMON OPTIONS
|
|
--------------
|
|
-f::
|
|
--format=::
|
|
Specify format style.
|
|
Current available format styles are:
|
|
|
|
'default'::
|
|
Default style. This is mainly for human reading.
|
|
---------------------
|
|
% perf bench sched pipe # with no style specified
|
|
(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
|
|
Total time:5.855 sec
|
|
5.855061 usecs/op
|
|
170792 ops/sec
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
'simple'::
|
|
This simple style is friendly for automated
|
|
processing by scripts.
