perf header: Fix up argument to ctime()

2019-02-12T19:02:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0afcf29bab35d3785204cd9bd51693b231ad7181 ]

Reducing this noise when cross building to the Android NDK:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_header__fprintf_info':

perf header: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()

2019-02-12T19:02:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7572588085a13d5db02bf159542189f52fdb507e ]

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit':
  util/header.c:3586:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(ev->data, evsel->unit, size);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3579:16: note: length computed here
    size_t size = strlen(evsel->unit);
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

perf record: Encode -k clockid frequency into Perf trace

2018-10-18T14:16:38+00:00

Store -k clockid frequency into Perf trace to enable timestamps
derived metrics conversion into wall clock time on reporting stage.

Below is the example of perf report output:

  tools/perf/perf record -k raw -- ../../matrix/linux/matrix.gcc
  ...
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 31.222 MB perf.data (818054 samples) ]

  tools/perf/perf report --header

tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Rename struct event_format to struct tep_event_format

2018-09-19T20:11:50+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_". This renames struct event_format
to struct tep_event_format

perf tools: Remove perf_tool from event_op2

2018-09-19T13:25:10+00:00

Now that we keep a perf_tool pointer inside perf_session, there's no
need to have a perf_tool argument in the event_op2 callback. Remove it.

perf tools: Drop unneeded bitmap_zero() calls

2018-08-08T18:55:44+00:00

bitmap_zero() is called after bitmap_alloc() in perf code. But
bitmap_alloc() internally uses calloc() which guarantees that allocated
area is zeroed. So following bitmap_zero is unneeded. Drop it.

This happened because of confusing name for bitmap allocator. It
should has name bitmap_zalloc instead of bitmap_alloc.

This series:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/18/841

introduces a new API for bitmap allocations in kernel, and functions
there are named correctly. Following patch propogates the API to tools,
and fixes naming issue.

perf tools: Synthesize GROUP_DESC feature in pipe mode

2018-07-24T17:53:20+00:00

Stephan reported, that pipe mode does not carry the group information
and thus the piped report won't display the grouped output for following
command:

  # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions,branches}' -a sleep 4 | perf report

It has no idea about the group setup, so it will display events
separately:

  # Overhead  Command          Shared Object             ...
  # ........  ...............  .......................
  #
       6.71%  swapper          [kernel.kallsyms]
       2.28%  offlineimap      libpython2.7.so.1.0
       0.78%  perf             [kernel.kallsyms]
  ...

Fix GROUP_DESC feature record to be synthesized in pipe mode, so the
report output is grouped if there are groups defined in record:

  #                 Overhead  Command          Shared    ...
  # ........................  ...............  .......
  #
       7.57%   0.16%   0.30%  swapper          [kernel
       1.87%   3.15%   2.46%  offlineimap      libpyth
       1.33%   0.00%   0.00%  perf             [kernel
  ...
