perf tools: Introduce rlimit__bump_memlock() helper

2019-07-09T17:59:11+00:00

Just like the BPF guys did when faced with failures with map creation,
etc, i.e. their solution is:

  tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_rlimit.h

For perf use this function in 'perf test' and in 'perf trace'.

Make it bump to 4 times the current value, if it fails twice the current
value and if it still fails, warn that things like BPF map creation may
fail, to help in diagnosing the problem.

tools lib: Adopt zalloc()/zfree() from tools/perf

2019-07-09T13:13:26+00:00

Eroding a bit more the tools/perf/util/util.h hodpodge header.

tools lib: Move argv_{split,free} from tools/perf/util/

2019-07-02T01:50:40+00:00

This came from the kernel lib/argv_split.c, so move it to
tools/lib/argv_split.c, to get it closer to the kernel structure.

We need to audit the usage of argv_split() to figure out if it is really
necessary to do have one allocation per argv[] entry, looking at one of
its users I guess that is not the case and we probably are even leaking
those allocations by not using argv_free() judiciously, for later.

With this we further remove stuff from tools/perf/util/, reducing the
perf specific codebase and encouraging other tools/ code to use these
routines so as to keep the style and constructs used with the kernel.

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

2019-06-26T00:02:47+00:00

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf tools: Introduce Zstd streaming based compression API

2019-05-15T19:36:49+00:00

Implemented functions are based on Zstd streaming compression API.

The functions are used in runtime to compress data that come from mmaped
kernel buffer. zstd_init(), zstd_fini() are used for initialization and
finalization to allocate and deallocate internal zstd objects.
zstd_compress_stream_to_records() is used to convert parts of mmaped
kernel buffer into an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.

perf bpf: Add bpf_map dumper

2019-02-19T19:11:56+00:00

At some point I'll suggest moving this to libbpf, for now I'll
experiment with ways to dump BPF maps set by events in 'perf trace',
starting with a very basic dumper for the current very limited needs
of the augmented_raw_syscalls code: dumping booleans.

Having functions that apply to the map keys and values and do table
lookup in things like syscall id to string tables should come next.

perf tools: Add cpu_topology object

2019-02-19T15:21:01+00:00

Make struct cpu_topo global and rename it to 'struct cpu_topology', so
that it can be used from the 'perf record' command in the following
patches.

Add the following interface functions to load/free cpu topology details:

  struct cpu_topology *cpu_topology__new(void);
  void cpu_topology__delete(struct cpu_topology *tp);

Move it to a separate source file cputopo.c together with numa related
object in the following patches.

No functional change, the new interface will be used in upcoming changes.

perf tools: Rename build libperf to perf

2019-02-14T18:18:08+00:00

Rename build libperf to perf, because it's used to build perf.

The libperf build object name will be used for libperf library.

2019-02-06T13:00:39+00:00

CoreSight was the only client of the PMU's set_drv_config() API.  Now
that it is no longer needed by CoreSight remove it from the code base.

perf utils: Move perf_config using routines from color.c to separate object

To untangle objects a bit more, avoiding rebuilding the color_fprintf
routines when changes are made to the perf config headers.
