perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers

2012-06-12T14:28:09+00:00

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.

Example:

  # uname -a
  Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
  # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  279
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:

  $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  56
  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
  $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
  279

With this fix:

  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  sched:sched_switch

perf tools: Fix endianity swapping for adds_features bitmask

2012-06-11T14:20:01+00:00

Based on Jiri's latest attempt:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61

Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned
longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

    Fixes 32-bit ppc dumping 64-bit x86 feature data:
     ========
     captured on: Sun May 20 19:23:23 2012
     hostname : nxos-vdc-dev3
     os release : 3.4.0-rc7+
     perf version : 3.4.rc4.137.g978da3
     arch : x86_64
     nrcpus online : 16

     cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,26,5
     total memory : 24680324 kB
    ...

Verified 64-bit x86 can still dump feature data for 32-bit ppc.

perf tools: rename HEADER_TRACE_INFO to HEADER_TRACING_DATA

2012-05-22T15:57:46+00:00

To match the PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA record type.

This is the same info as the one used for pipe mode whereas the other
one is for regular file output. This will help in the later patch to add
meta-data infos in pipe mode.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'tip/perf/urgent' into perf/core

2012-05-18T16:13:33+00:00

Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch:

"perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object"

That depends on:

commit e7c72d8
perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing

Conflicts:
	tools/perf/builtin-stat.c

Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the
result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope
with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits
were not used.

perf build-id: Fix filename size calculation

2012-05-01T17:13:00+00:00

The filename is a pointer variable so the sizeof(filename) will return
length of a pointer. Fix it by using 'size'.

perf tools: Cleanup realloc use

2012-04-23T18:33:05+00:00

The if branch is completely unnecessary since 'realloc' handles NULL
pointers for the first parameter.

This is really only a cleanup and submitted mainly to prevent
proliferation of bad practices.

  we get following gcc error on 32 bits:
     error: cast from pointer to integer of different size

- util/header.c(print_event_desc)

  gcc error on 32 bits:
     error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

perf tools: Use scnprintf where applicable

2012-03-14T15:36:19+00:00

Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of
characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space.

Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from
the kernel sources.

Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.

perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag

2012-03-09T07:26:08+00:00

This patch adds a new feature bit, namely,
HEADER_BRANCH_STACK.  When present, it indicates
that sample records may contain branch stack.

This could be useful to a viewer to switch to
branch mode without having to parse all the
samples or without a specific cmdline option.

This will be used in a subsequent patch to
enhance perf report with branch stacks.
