tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist

2014-09-25T19:46:55+00:00

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class
can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists
need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it.

v2: Don't use {} like in:

 libapi_dirs:
	$(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/

in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10.

v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to
    be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the
    fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a
    bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

perf tests: Add test for perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()

2014-09-25T19:46:53+00:00

That will use a synthetic evlist with just what is touched by this new
method to check that it works as expected.

Output in verbose mode:

  $ perf test -v pollfd

  filtering all but pollfd[2]:

perf tools: Add perf-with-kcore script

2014-09-17T20:08:08+00:00

Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel
object image.  This is provided by making a copy of kcore.  However the
copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original
recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file.
The perf-with-kcore script does that.

The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be
used to fix them.  That is needed for distributions where root does not
have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache
as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have
access to.

Example:

$ ./perf-with-kcore
Usage: perf-with-kcore   [ [ -- ]]
        can be record, script, report or inject
   or: perf-with-kcore fix_buildid_cache_permissions
$ ./perf-with-kcore record pt_uname -e intel_pt// -- uname

perf tests: Add a test for tracking with sched_switch

2014-08-22T16:10:35+00:00

Add a test that checks that sched_switch events and tracking events can
be recorded for a workload using the evsel->system_wide and
evsel->tracking flags (respectively) with other events sometimes enabled
or disabled.

perf tools: Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor

2014-07-18T07:09:34+00:00

In commit a21b0b354d4a ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.

This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.

perf tools: Allow TSC conversion on any arch

2014-07-17T15:59:00+00:00

It is possible to record a perf.data file on one architecture and
process it on another.

Consequently, TSC conversion functions need to be moved out of the arch
directory.

perf kvm: Move arch specific code into arch/

2014-07-16T20:57:32+00:00

Parts of a 'perf kvm stat' code make sense only for x86.

Let's move this code into the arch/x86/kvm-stat.c file and add
util/kvm-stat.h for generic structure definitions.

Add a global array 'kvm_reg_events_ops' for accessing the arch-specific
'kvm_events_ops' from generic code.

Since the several global arrays (i.e. 'kvm_events_tp') have been moved
to arch/*, we can not know their sizes and use them directly in
builtin-kvm.c. This patch fixes that problem by adding trimming NULL
element to each array and changing the behavior of their handlers in
generic code.

perf tools: Fix 'make help' message error

2014-06-03T19:35:12+00:00

Currently 'make help' message has such hint:

   use "make prefix= " to install to a particular
       path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc

But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no
respect at all.

This is because that, "DESTDIR" is considered first. In this case, "DESTDIR"
has an empty value, so "prefix" is honored. However, "prefix" is unconditionally
assigned to $HOME, regardless of what it is set to from command line. So our
"prefix" setting got no respect and the actual destination falls back to $HOME.

This patch fixes this issue and corrects the help message.
