perf tools: Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absence

2013-03-15T16:05:13+00:00

Including libio.h causes build failures on uClibc systems (which lack
libio.h).

It appears that libio.h was only included to pull in a definition for
NULL, so it has been replaced by stddef.h.

On powerpc, libio.h was conditionally included, but could be removed
completely as it is unneeded. Also, the included of stdlib.h was changed
to stddef.h (as again, only NULL is needed).

perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

2012-11-19T22:21:03+00:00

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use  and  instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct.  Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86.  I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile.  Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits.  We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

perf tools: Don't try to lookup objdump for live mode

2012-11-08T20:26:52+00:00

Arnaldo reported that annotation during perf top resulted in a segfault.
It was because the env->arch was NULL and we don't set it for a live
session.  In fact, no need to look up objdump in this case since we can
use system's default (native) objdump.

perf tools: Use normalized arch name for searching objdump path

2012-11-05T17:03:58+00:00

David reported that perf report for i686 target data on x86_64 host
failed to work because it tried to find out cross-compiled objdump.

However objdump for x86_64 is compatible to i686 so that it doesn't need
to do it at all.  To prevent similar artifacts, normalize arch name when
comparing host and file architectures.

perf tools: Try to find cross-built objdump path

2012-10-24T16:20:11+00:00

As we have architecture information of saved perf.data file, we can try
to find cross-built objdump path.

The triplets include support for Android (arm, x86 and mips
architectures).

perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing

2012-08-11T18:06:56+00:00

This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.

Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.

The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.

The unwind interface provides following function:
	unwind__get_entries

And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
	typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
					 void *arg);

perf tools: Add interface to arch registers sets

2012-08-10T19:32:59+00:00

Adding header files to access unified API for arch registers.

  util/perf_regs.h - global perf_reg declarations
  arch/x86/include/perf_regs.h - x86 arch specific

Adding perf_reg_name function to obtain register name based on the reg
ID value, and PERF_REGS_MASK macro with mask definition of all current
arch registers (will be used in unwind patches).

perf tools: Use scnprintf where applicable

2012-03-14T15:36:19+00:00

Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of
characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space.

Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from
the kernel sources.

Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.
