perf symbols: Fix dso lookup by long name and missing buildids

2015-11-13T14:14:36+00:00

Commit 4598a0a6d22f ("perf symbols: Improve DSO long names lookup speed
with rbtree") Added a tree to lookup dsos by long name.  That tree gets
corrupted whenever a dso long name is changed because the tree is not
updated.

One effect of that is buildid-list does not work with the 'with-hits'
option because dso lookup fails and results in two structs for the same
dso.  The first has the buildid but no hits, the second has hits but no
buildid. e.g.

Before:

  $ tools/perf/perf record ls
  arch     certs    CREDITS  Documentation  firmware  include
  ipc      Kconfig  lib      Makefile       net       REPORTING-BUGS
  scripts  sound    usr      block          COPYING   crypto
  drivers  fs       init     Kbuild         kernel    MAINTAINERS
  mm       README   samples  security       tools     virt
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  30c94dc66a1fe95180c3d68d2b89e576d5ae213c /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list -H
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so

After:

  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list -H
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  30c94dc66a1fe95180c3d68d2b89e576d5ae213c /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so

The fix is to record the root of the tree on the dso so that
dso__set_long_name() can update the tree when the long name changes.

perf machine: Add method for common kernel_map(FUNCTION) operation

And it is also a step in the direction of killing the separation of data
and text maps in map_groups.

perf machine: Add pointer to sample's environment

2015-09-14T15:50:29+00:00

The 'struct machine' represents the machine where the samples were/are
being collected, and we also have a 'struct perf_env' with extra details
about such machine, that we were collecting at 'perf.data' creation time
but we also needed when no perf.data file is being used, such as in
'perf top'.

So, get those structs closer together, as they provide a bigger picture
of the sample's environment.

In 'perf session', when the file argument is NULL, we can assume that
the tool is sampling the running machine, so point machine->env to
the global put in place in previous patches, while set it to the
perf_header.env one when reading from a file.

This paves the way for machine->env to be used in
perf_event__preprocess_sample to populate addr_location.socket.

perf tools: Make fork event processing more resilient

2015-08-19T17:15:25+00:00

When processing a fork event, the tools lookup the parent thread by its
tid.  In a couple of cases, it is possible for that thread to have the
wrong pid.

That can happen if the data is being processed out of order, or if the
(fork) event that would have removed the erroneous thread was lost.

Assume the latter case, print a dump message, remove the erroneous
thread, create a new one with the correct pid, and keep going.

perf tools: Add new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event

2015-07-24T01:51:13+00:00

Support processing of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events and
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events. There is a single
tools callback for them both so that the tool must
check the event type before using the extra members
in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE.

There is still no way to select the events, though.
That is added in a subsequest patch.

So that we can pass more info to strlist__new() without having to change
its function signature, just adding entries to the strlist_config struct
with sensible defaults for when those fields are not specified.
