perf top: Fix refreshing hierarchy entries on TUI

2016-11-18T09:51:50+00:00

commit c611152373e84a7677cd7d496e849de4debdab66 upstream.

Markus reported that 'perf top --hierarchy' cannot scroll down after
refresh.  This was because the number of entries are not updated when
hierarchy is enabled.

Unlike normal report view, hierarchy mode needs to keep its own entry
count since it can have non-leaf entries which can expand/collapse.

perf ui/stdio: Always reset output width for hierarchy

2016-10-31T11:02:13+00:00

commit 9a6ad25b5a2026ba1399abc879ec623957867e79 upstream.

When the --hierarchy option is used, each entry has its own hpp_list to
show the result.  But it is not updating the width of each column for
perf-top.  The perf-report command has no problem since it resets it
during header display.

  $ sudo perf top --hierarchy --stdio

   PerfTop:     160 irqs/sec  kernel:38.8%  exact: 100.0%
                                     [4000Hz cycles:pp],  (all, 12 CPUs)

Move the code into hists__fprintf() so that it can be called always.
Also it'd be better to put similar code together.

Committer note:

Full testing instructions:

1) Record with an event group:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make -j4

2) Use report in hierarchy mode, to get a few expanded trees on
   the same screen, use --percent-limit:

  $ perf report --hierarchy --percent-limit 0.5

perf hists browser: Fix event group display

2016-10-31T11:02:13+00:00

commit d9ea48bc4e7cc297ca1073fa3f90ed80d964b7b4 upstream.

Milian reported that the event group on TUI shows duplicated overhead.
This was due to a bug on calculating hpp->buf position.  The
hpp_advance() was called from __hpp__slsmg_color_printf() on TUI but
it's already called from the hpp__call_print_fn macro in __hpp__fmt().
The end result is that the print function returns number of bytes it
printed but the buffer advanced twice of the length.

This is generally not a problem since it doesn't need to access the
buffer again.  But with event group, overhead needs to be printed
multiple times and hist_entry__snprintf_alignment() tries to fill the
space with buffer after it printed.  So it (brokenly) showed the last
overhead again.

The bug was there from the beginning, but I think it's only revealed
when the alignment function was added.

perf annotate: Introduce strerror for handling symbol__disassemble() errors

2016-08-01T21:18:16+00:00

We were just using pr_error() which makes it difficult for non stdio UIs
to provide errors using its widgets, as they need to somehow catch what
was passed to pr_error().

Fix it by introducing a __strerror() interface like the ones used
elsewhere, for instance target__strerror().

This is just the initial step, more work will be done, but first some
error handling bugs noticed while working on this need to be dealt with.

perf annotate: Rename symbolannotate() to symboldisassemble()

2016-08-01T20:06:46+00:00

This function will not annotate anything, it will just disassembly the
given map->dso and symbol.

It currently does this by parsing the output of 'objdump --disassemble',
but this could conceivably be done using a library or an offshot of
the kernel's instruction decoder (arch/x86/lib/inat.c), etc.

perf tools: Remove needless includes from cache.h

2016-07-12T18:19:58+00:00

The cache.h header doesn't use any of the definitions in some of the
headers it includes, ditch them and fix the fallout, where files were
getting stuff they needed just because they were including it, sometimes
not using what it really exports at all.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47+00:00

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf ui stdio: Add way to setup the color output mode selection

2016-07-12T03:00:39+00:00

In --stdio we turn off color output when the output is not a tty,
which is not always desirable, for instance, in:

  perf annotate | more

the 'more' tool is perfectly capable of processing the escape sequences
for colored output.

Allow using the existing logic for .perfconfig's "color.ui" to be used
from the command line by providing a stdio__config_color() helper, that
will be used by annotate and report in follow up patches.

perf annotate: Generalize handling of 'ret' instructions

2016-06-27T17:25:05+00:00

Introduce helper to detect 'ret' instructions and use the same in the TUI.
A helper is needed since some architectures such as powerpc have more
