perf annotate: Make it to be able to skip unannotatable symbols

2013-02-14T17:59:28+00:00

Add --skip-missing option for skipping symbols that cannot be used for
annotation.  It's the case of kernel symbols that user doesn't have a
vmlinux image file.

perf gtk/annotate: Support multiple event annotation

2013-02-14T17:59:28+00:00

Show multiple annotation result for each evsel.  Each result represents
the most frquently sampled symbol/function for the evsel and it will be
shown in a tab window.

For this add a reference to main container (notebook) to the pgctx.  At
the first call to annotate browser, hist_entry__find_annotations() will
setup a new browser, and next calls will add new tabs to the browser.
But it requires final perf_gtk__show_annotations() to start processing
GUI events.

perf ui/gtk: Implement basic GTK2 annotation browser

2013-02-14T17:59:27+00:00

Basic implementation of perf annotate on GTK2.  Currently only
shows first symbol.  Add a new --gtk option to use it.

perf sort: Make setup_sorting returns an error code

2013-02-06T21:09:26+00:00

Currently the setup_sorting() is called for parsing sort keys and exits
if it failed to add the sort key.  As it's included in libperf it'd be
better returning an error code rather than exiting application inside of
the library.

perf tools: Introduce struct hist_browser_timer

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

Currently various hist browser functions receive 3 arguments for
refreshing histogram but only used from a few places.  Also it's only
for perf top command so that it can be NULL for other (and probably
most) cases.  Pack them into a struct in order to reduce number of those
unused arguments.

This is a mechanical change and does not intend a functional change.

perf tools: Add a global variable "const char *input_name"

2012-10-29T13:45:34+00:00

Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all
support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them
create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data.

Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for
it, also it can some other benefits:

1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs
to know the perf data file name to run that script.

2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file,
this variable can also help.

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 annotate: Handle PERF_RECORD_EXIT events

2012-10-06T19:33:56+00:00

Noticed annotate wasn't handling those events while introducing
perf_event__process_{fork,exit}.

perf event: No need to create a thread when handling PERF_RECORD_EXIT

2012-10-06T19:33:45+00:00

When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used
machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent,
only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and
to just delete it.

If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in
machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads
linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it
was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no
references at all.

Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we
don't create it.

As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point.

Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make
the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by
this patch.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.
