perf tools: Fix strict alias issue for find_first_bit

2014-02-28T13:39:40+00:00

When compiling perf tool code with gcc 4.4.7 I'm getting
following error:

    CC       util/session.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session_deliver_event’:
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:109: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
  util/session.c:697: note: initialized from here
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: note: initialized from here
  make[1]: *** [util/session.o] Error 1
  make: *** [util/session.o] Error 2

The aliased types here are u64 and unsigned long pointers, which is safe
for the find_first_bit processing.

This error shows up for me only for gcc 4.4 on 32bit x86, even for
-Wstrict-aliasing=3, while newer gcc are quiet and scream here for
-Wstrict-aliasing={2,1}. Looks like newer gcc changed the rules for
strict alias warnings.

The gcc documentation offers workaround for valid aliasing by using
__may_alias__ attribute:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html

Using this workaround for the find_first_bit function.

perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures

2014-01-31T20:21:42+00:00

Commit 71ae8aac ("lib: introduce arch optimized hash library") added an
include to  for setting up an architecture specific fast
hash.

Since perf includes directly the non-uapi kernel header, it cannot find
 on non-x86 and thus prevents perf to be compiled on every
architecture other than x86.

The problem is the inclusion of  in hash.h that results in
the following error originating from util/evlist.c:

  fatal error: asm/hash.h: No such file or directory

This commit simply adds an empty  stub/file to fix the
compile issue on non-x86 architectures.

As perf does not use any of these new functions, it fixes the
compilation and therefore seems to be the most appropriate solution to
go with.

perf fs: Add procfs support

2013-11-05T18:15:07+00:00

Adding procfs support into fs class.

The interface function:
  const char *procfs__mountpoint(void);

provides existing mountpoint path for procfs.

tools/perf: Turn strlcpy() into a __weak function

2013-10-09T06:48:49+00:00

The strlcpy() feature check slows every build unnecessarily - so make it
a __weak function so it does not have to be auto-detected.

If the libc (or any other library) has an strlcpy() implementation it will
be used - otherwise our fallback is active.

perf tools: Default to cpu// for events v5

2013-07-12T16:53:52+00:00

When an event fails to parse and it's not in a new style format,
try to parse it again as a cpu event.

This allows to use sysfs exported events directly without //, so you can use

perf record -e mem-loads ...

instead of

perf record -e cpu/mem-loads/

perf tools: Fix PMU format parsing test failure

2013-01-24T19:40:47+00:00

On POWER, the 'perf format parsing' test always fails.

Looks like it is because memset() is being passed number of longs rather
than number of bytes. It is interesting that the test always passes on
my x86 box.

With this patch, the test passes on POWER and continues to pass on x86.
