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.

perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test on ARM

2014-05-16T09:39:18+00:00

Adding dwarf unwind test, that setups live machine data over
the perf test thread and does the remote unwind.

Need to use -fno-optimize-sibling-calls for test compilation,
otherwise 'krava_*' function calls are optimized into jumps
and omitted from the stack unwind.

So far it was enabled only for x86.
