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
than one return instruction.

implement those macros.

perf config: Move config declarations from util/cache.h to util/config.h

2016-06-23T11:51:41+00:00

Lately util/config.h has been added but util/cache.h has declarations of
functions and a global variable for config features.

To manage codes about configuration at one spot, move them to
util/config.h and let source files that need config features include
config.h And if the source files that included previous cache.h need
only config.h, remove including cache.h.
