perf tools: Fix include paths in ui directory

2019-08-08T18:41:11+00:00

These paths point to the wrong location but still work because they get
picked up by a -I flag that happens to direct to the correct file. Fix
paths to point to the correct location without -I flags.

perf hists browser: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference found by the smatch tool

2019-07-09T13:13:27+00:00

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:641
  hist_browser__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 625)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3088
  perf_evsel__hists_browse() error: we previously assumed
  'browser->he_selection' could be null (see line 2902)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3272
  perf_evsel_menu__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 3260)

This patch firstly validating the pointers before access them, so can
fix potential NULL pointer dereference.

perf tools: Use list_del_init() more thorougly

2019-07-09T13:13:27+00:00

To allow for destructors to check if they're operating on a object still
in a list, and to avoid going from use after free list entries into
still valid, or even also other already removed from list entries.

perf tools: Use zfree() where applicable

2019-07-09T13:13:27+00:00

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:

   free(a);
   a = NULL;

And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

perf tools: Add missing headers, mostly stdlib.h

2019-07-09T13:13:22+00:00

Part of the erosion of util/util.h, that will lose its include stdlib.h,
we need to add it to places where it is needed but was getting it
indirectly.

perf diff: Print the basic block cycles diff

2019-07-02T16:20:51+00:00

 $ perf record -b ./div
 $ perf record -b ./div

Following is the default perf diff output

 $ perf diff

"[Program Block Range]" indicates the range of program basic block
(start -> end). If we can find the source line it prints the source line
otherwise it prints the symbol+offset instead.

 v4:
 ---
 Use source lines or symbol+offset to indicate the basic block. It should
 be easier to understand.

 v3:
 ---
 Cast 'struct hist_entry' to 'struct block_hist' in hist_entry__block_fprintf.
 Use symbol_conf.report_block to check if executing hist_entry__block_fprintf.

 v2:
 ---
 Keep standard perf diff format and display the 'Baseline' and
 'Shared Object'.

The output is sorted by "Baseline" and the basic blocks in the same
function are sorted by cycles diff.

perf tools: Ditch rtrim(), use skip_spaces() to get closer to the kernel

No change in behaviour, just using the same kernel idiom for such
operation.
