perf tools: Add dsos__hit_all()

2014-07-23T14:25:40+00:00

Add ability to mark all dsos as hit.

This is needed in the case of Instruction Tracing.  It takes so long to
decode an Instruction Trace that it is not worth doing just to determine
which dsos are hit.  A later patch takes this into use.

perf tools: Ensure sscanf does not overrun the "mem" field

2014-01-20T19:19:08+00:00

Make the parsing robust.

(perf has some other assumptions that BUFSIZE <= MAX_PATH which are
 not touched here)

perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends

2014-01-13T13:06:25+00:00

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact.

Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__',
as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do
it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this
case.

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 tools: No need to test against NULL before calling free()

2013-12-26T18:58:52+00:00

Its perfectly fine to call free(NULL), so no need to clutter the source
code with all those superfluous testing.

perf header: Allow header->data_offset to be predetermined

2013-12-13T13:30:20+00:00

It will be necessary to predetermine header->data_offset to allow space
for attributes that are added later.  Consequently, do not change
header->data_offset if it is non-zero.

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.

perf tools: Add trace-event object

2013-12-04T18:20:52+00:00

Add trace-event object to keep together 'struct pevent' object with its
loaded plugins with following interface:

int trace_event__init(struct trace_event *t);

  - Initalizes 'struct pevent' object and loads plugins for it

void trace_event__cleanup(struct trace_event *t);

  - Cleanups both 'struct pevent' and plugins
