perf annotate: Don't try to follow jump target on PLT symbols

2012-11-09T19:23:21+00:00

The perf annotate browser on TUI can identify a jump target for a
selected instruction.  It assumes that the jump target is within the
function but it's not the case of PLT symbols which have offset out of
the function as a target.

Since it caused a segmentation fault, do not try to follow jump target
on the PLT symbols.

perf report: Postpone objdump check until annotation requested

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

David reported that current perf report refused to run on a data file
captured from a different machine because of objdump.

Since the objdump tools won't be used unless annotation was requested,
checking its presence at init time doesn't make sense.

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 browser: Don't show scripts menu for 'perf top'

2012-10-31T18:14:19+00:00

As 'perf top' has no data files to run scripts against. Also add a
is_report_browser() helper function to judge whether the running browser
is for 'perf report'.

perf hists browser: Integrate script browser into main hists browser

2012-10-29T13:56:19+00:00

Integrate the script browser into "perf report" framework, users can use
function key 'r' or the drop down menu to list all perf scripts and
select one of them, just like they did for the annotation.

perf scripts browser: Add a browser for perf script

2012-10-29T13:52:53+00:00

Create a script browser, so that user can check all the available
scripts for current perf data file and run them inside the main perf
report or annotation browsers, for all perf samples or for samples
belong to one thread/symbol.

Please be noted: current script browser is only for report use, and
doesn't cover the record phase, IOW it must run against one existing
perf data file.

The work flow is, users can use function key to list all the available
scripts for current perf data file in system and chose one, which will
be executed with popen("perf script -s xxx.xx",) and all the output
lines are put into one ui browser, pressing 'q' or left arrow key will
make it return to previous browser.

perf hists browser: Add back callchain folding symbol

2012-10-17T16:54:08+00:00

The commit 5395a04841fc ("perf hists: Separate overhead and baseline
columns") makes the "Overhead" column no more the first one, this
caused the test that checks if it is time to show if a histogram
entry has callchains never hits.

Fix it by checking if the 'i' variable is equal to PERF_HPP__OVERHEAD
instead of 0.

perf hists browser: Fix off-by-two bug on the first column

The commit 5395a04841fc ("perf hists: Separate overhead and baseline
columns") makes the "Overhead" column no more the first one.  So it
resulted in the mis-aligned column in the normal (non-diff) output.

perf hists: Introduce struct he_stat

2012-10-04T16:34:22+00:00

The struct he_stat is for separating out statistics data of a hist
entry.  It is required for later changes.

It's just a mechanical change and should have no functional differences.
