perf evsel: Ditch evsel->handler.data field

2013-11-07T13:40:47+00:00

Not needed since this cset:

  fcf65bf149af: perf evsel: Cache associated event_format

So lets trim this struct a bit.

perf tools: Finish the removal of 'self' arguments

2013-11-05T18:32:36+00:00

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some
point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more
sensibly.

perf tools: Add time argument on COMM setting

2013-11-04T14:57:06+00:00

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.

PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

perf ui progress: Per progress bar state

2013-10-23T18:40:38+00:00

That will ease using a progress bar across multiple functions, like in
the upcoming patches that will present a progress bar when collapsing
histograms.

Based on a previous patch by Namhyung Kim.

perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan

2013-10-21T20:36:25+00:00

When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.

The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.

The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.

  --max_stack   Elapsed Time    Output data size

perf tools: Add data object to handle perf data file

2013-10-21T20:33:24+00:00

This patch is adding 'struct perf_data_file' object as a placeholder for
all attributes regarding perf.data file handling. Changing
perf_session__new to take it as an argument.

The rest of the functionality will be added later to keep this change
simple enough, because all the places using perf_session are changed
now.

perf session: Add missing sample flush for piped events

Piped events can be sorted so a final flush is needed.

Add that and remove a redundant 'err = 0'.
