perf session: Skip event correctly for unknown id/machine

2012-04-12T15:14:50+00:00

In case the perf_session__process_event function fails, we estimate the
next event offset.

This is not necessary for sample event failing on unknown ID or machine.
In such case we know proper size of the event, so we dont need to guess.
Also failure statistics are updated correctly so we don't miss any
information.

Forcing perf_session__process_event to return 0 in case of unknown ID or
machine.

perf kvm: Finding struct machine fails for PERF_RECORD_MMAP

2012-04-11T14:45:12+00:00

Running 'perf kvm --host --guest --guestmount /tmp/guestmount record -a -g -- sleep 2'

Was resulting in a segfault. For event type PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
event->ip.pid is being used in perf_session__find_machine_for_cpumode,
which is not correct.

The event->ip.pid field happens to be 0 in this case and results in
returning a NULL machine object. Finally, access to self->pid in
machine__mmap_name, results in a segfault later.

For PERF_RECORD_MMAP type, pass event->mmap.pid.

perf diff: Fix to work with new hists design

2012-03-22T18:12:09+00:00

The perf diff command is broken since:
  perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries
  commit 1980c2ebd7020d82c024b8c4046849b38e78e7da

Several places were broken:
  - hists data need to be collected into opened sessions instead
    of into events
  - session's hists data need to be initialized properly when the
    session is created
  - hist_entry__pcnt_snprintf: the percentage and displacement
    buffer preparation must not use 'ret' because it's used
    as a pointer to the final buffer

perf report: Enable TUI in branch view mode

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

This patch updates perf report to support TUI mode
when the perf.data file contains samples with branch
stacks.

For each row in the report, it is possible to annotate
either the source or target of each branch.

perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev

2012-03-09T07:26:06+00:00

This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated
using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size,
i.e., a different ABI version.

The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with
older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with
a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than
what it knows about.

This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a
perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its
advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf
knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct
is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is
skipped.

perf top: Don't process samples with no valid machine object

2012-02-14T00:55:58+00:00

The perf sample processing code relies on a valid machine object. Make
sure that this path is only entered when such a object exists.

A counter for samples where no machine object exits is also introduced
to give the user a message about these samples.

perf script: Add the offset field specifier

2012-01-30T20:09:21+00:00

Add the offset field specifier 'symoff' to show the offset from
the symbols in the output of perf-script. We can get the more
detailed address information.

Output sample:
ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec016b0 _start+0x0
ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec016b0 _start+0x0
      301ec016b3 _start+0x3     => 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0
ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0
ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b96 _dl_start+0x26
ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b9d _dl_start+0x2d
      301ec04beb _dl_start+0x7b => 301ec04c0d _dl_start+0x9d

perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"

2012-01-30T19:57:57+00:00

The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown".

It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies
the expressions to "[unknown]".
