perf tools: Add --buildid-dir option to set cache directory

2014-12-09T12:14:35+00:00

Adding --buildid-dir to be able to set specific cache directory. It's
going to be handy for buildid tests coming in shortly.

perf: Use strerror_r instead of strerror

2014-08-15T13:54:29+00:00

Use strerror_r instead of strerror in error messages for thread-safety.
This also introduce STRERR_BUFSIZE macro for the default size of message
buffer for strerror_r.

perf tools: Add --debug optionto set debug variable

2014-07-17T15:58:59+00:00

Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables.  Starting with
support for verbose, more will come.

It's possible to use it now with report command:
  $ perf --debug verbose   ...
  $ perf --debug verbose=2 ...

I'll need this support to add separated debug variable for ordered
events change in order to separate debug output out of standard verbose
stream.

perf tools: Add support to dynamically get cacheline size

perf trace: Warn the user when not available

2014-06-03T19:34:00+00:00

When the audit-libs devel package is not found at build time we disable
the 'trace' command, as we are not able to map syscall numbers to
strings, but then the message the user is presented is cryptic:

  [root@zoo linux]# trace ls
  perf: 'ls' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.

Fix it by presenting a more helpful message:

  [root@zoo linux]# trace l
  trace command not available: missing audit-libs devel package at build time.

tools/: Convert to new topic libraries

2013-12-16T19:03:27+00:00

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.

For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.

acme:

"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.

But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.

perf trace: Add 'trace' alias to 'perf trace'

2013-10-11T15:17:10+00:00

Make 'perf trace' more accessible by aliasing it to just 'trace':

  [root@zoo linux]# trace --duration 15 -a -e futex sleep 1
   110.092 (16.188 ms): libvirtd/1166 futex(uaddr: 0x185b344, op: WAIT|PRIV, val: 174293                    ) = 0

   111.594 (15.776 ms): libvirtd/1165 futex(uaddr: 0x185b344, op: WAIT|PRIV, val: 174295                    ) = 0

   291.265 (199.508 ms): chromium-brows/15830 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff2986bcb4, op: WAIT_BITSET|PRIV|CLKRT, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff2986bab0, val3: 4294967295) = -1 ETIMEDOUT Connection timed out
     360.354 (69.053 ms): chromium-brows/15830 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff2986bcb4, op: WAIT_BITSET|PRIV|CLKRT, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff2986bab0, val3: 4294967295) = -1 ETIMEDOUT Connection timed out
  [root@zoo linux]#

I.e. looking for futex calls that take at least 15ms, system wide, during a one
second window. Now to get callchains into 'trace' to figure out what are those
locks :-)
