perf kvm: introduce --list-cmds for use by scripts

2014-03-14T21:08:41+00:00

Introduce

  $ perf kvm --list-cmds

to dump a raw list of commands for use by the completion script. In
order to do this, introduce parse_options_subcommand() for handling
subcommands as a special case in the parse-options machinery.

perf tools: Add option macro OPT_BOOLEAN_SET

2013-11-27T17:58:36+00:00

OPT_BOOLEAN_SET records whether a boolean option was set by the user.

That information can be used to change the default value for the option
after the options have been parsed.

perf tools: Allow '--inherit' as the negation of '--no-inherit'

2013-11-27T17:58:36+00:00

Long options can be negated by prefixing them with 'no-'.  However
options that already start with 'no-', such as '--no-inherit' result in
ugly double 'no's.

Avoid that by accepting that the removal of 'no-' also negates the long
option.

perf stat: Enhance option parse error message

2013-11-04T15:57:36+00:00

Print related option help messages only when it failed to process
options.  While at it, modify parse_options_usage() to skip usage part
so that it can be used for showing multiple option help messages
naturally like below:

  $ perf stat -Bx, ls
  -B option not supported with -x

   usage: perf stat [] []

      -B, --big-num         print large numbers with thousands' separators
      -x, --field-separator 
                            print counts with custom separator

perf tools: Show single option when failed to parse

2013-11-04T15:51:45+00:00

Current option parser outputs whole option help string when it failed to
parse an option.  However this is not good for user if the command has
many option, she might feel hard which one is related easily.

Fix it by just showing the help message of the given option only.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record

2012-08-03T13:33:50+00:00

A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to
cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of
the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command
-- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line
as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record.

As an example consider the command:
$ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record
    -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10

Currently the command saved to the header is:
    cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

(ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm).

With this patch the command line saved to the header is:
cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount
    record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion

perf options: Type check all the remaining OPT_ variants

2010-05-17T19:22:41+00:00

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin
compatible with unsigned int.

Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a
const char * type.
