perf annotate: Fix objdump comment parsing for Intel mov dissassembly

2018-06-16T21:21:41+00:00

commit 35a8a148d8c1ee9e5ae18f9565a880490f816f89 upstream.

The command 'perf annotate' parses the output of objdump and also
investigates the comments produced by objdump. For example the
output of objdump produces (on x86):

23eee:  4c 8b 3d 13 01 21 00 mov 0x210113(%rip),%r15
                                # 234008 

and the function mov__parse() is called to investigate the complete
line. Mov__parse() breaks this line into several parts and finally
calls function comment__symbol() to parse the data after the comment
character '#'. Comment__symbol() expects a hexadecimal address followed
by a symbol in '<' and '>' brackets.

However the 2nd parameter given to function comment__symbol()
always points to the comment character '#'. The address parsing
always returns 0 because the character '#' is not a digit and
strtoull() fails without being noticed.

Fix this by advancing the second parameter to function comment__symbol()
by one byte before invocation and add an error check after strtoull()
has been called.

perf annotate: Print the evsel name in the stdio output

2014-03-18T21:17:03+00:00

So that when showing multiple events annotations, we can figure out
which is which:

  # perf record -a -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.826 MB perf.data (~36078 samples) ]
  # perf evlist
  instructions
  cycles
  # perf annotate intel_idle 2> /dev/null | head -1
   Percent |	Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for instructions

perf annotate: Check availability of annotate when processing samples

2014-02-24T14:12:55+00:00

The TUI of perf report and top support annotation, but stdio and GTK
don't.  So it should be checked before calling hist_entry__inc_addr_
samples() to avoid wasting resources that will never be used.

perf annotate need it regardless of UI and sort keys, so the check
of whether to allocate resources should be on the tools that have
annotate as an option in the TUI, 'report' and 'top', not on the
function called by all of them.

It caused perf annotate on ppc64 to produce zero output, since the
buckets were not being allocated.

perf tools: Use zfree to help detect use after free bugs

2013-12-27T20:08:19+00:00

Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to
consistently use it elsewhere.

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00+00:00

For the frequent idiom of:

   free(ptr);
   ptr = NULL;

Make it expect a pointer to the pointer being freed, so that it becomes
clear at first sight that the variable being freed is being modified.

perf annotate: Make symbol__inc_addr_samples private

2013-12-19T14:34:33+00:00

Since it is now accessed just thru addr_map_symbol and hist_entry

Since there are three calls that could receive just the struct

perf symbols: Constify dso->long_name

2013-12-10T19:51:09+00:00

Same reason as for dso->short_name, it may point to a const string, and
in most places it is treated as const, i.e. it is just accessed for
using its contents as a key or to show it on reports.
