perf debug: Add debug_set_display_time function

2021-01-20T17:34:20+00:00

Allow to display time in perf debug output via new
debug_set_display_time function.

It will be used in perf daemon command to get verbose output into log
file.

The debug time format is:

  [2020-12-03 18:25:31.822152] affinity: SYS
  [2020-12-03 18:25:31.822164] mmap flush: 1
  [2020-12-03 18:25:31.822175] comp level: 0
  [2020-12-03 18:25:32.002047] mmap size 528384B

Committer notes:

Cast tod.tv_usec to long to avoid this problem:

perf debug: Add debug_set_file function

2020-12-17T17:36:17+00:00

Allow to set debug output file via new debug_set_file function.

It's called during perf startup in perf_debug_setup to set stderr file
as default and any perf command can set it later to different file.

It will be used in perf daemon command to get verbose output into log
file.

perf tools: Add general function to parse sublevel options

2020-08-14T12:15:47+00:00

This factors out a general function perf_parse_sublevel_options() to
parse sublevel options. The 'sublevel' options is something like the
'--debug' options which allow more sublevel options.

perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value

2019-11-12T11:32:27+00:00

Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

Committer notes:

Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 19237
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  #

After adding that new variable to util/python.c:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 22364
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: Ok

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

perf event: Remove needless include directives from event.h

2019-09-01T01:19:24+00:00

bpf.h and build-id.h are not needed at all in event.h, remove them.

And fixup the fallout of files that were getting needed stuff from this
now pruned include.

perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.h

2019-08-31T22:10:19+00:00

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.

perf tools: Remove perf.h from source files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we
ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.

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.
