From 17d7a1123f0f6d532830152564cc812cc73db2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hitoshi Mitake Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 22:46:17 +0900 Subject: perf bench: Fix confused variable namings and descriptions in mem subsystem 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 Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1341236777-18457-1-git-send-email-h.mitake@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-bench.txt | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/perf/Documentation') diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-bench.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-bench.txt index f3c716a4cad..7065cd6fbdf 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-bench.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-bench.txt @@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ On x86-64, x86-64-unrolled, x86-64-movsq and x86-64-movsb are supported.
