perf machine: Fix the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file

2014-07-23T20:14:39+00:00

The VDSO temporary file is unlinked when a session is deleted.  That
precludes the possibilities that there is no session or there is more
than one session.

Correctly the vdso belongs to the machine so put the information on
'struct machine' and get rid of the global variables.

perf session: Add ability to skip 4GiB or more

2014-07-23T20:07:14+00:00

A session can be made to skip portions of the input file.  Do not limit
that size to 32-bits.

perf session: Add ability to 'skip' a non-piped event stream

2014-07-23T20:00:46+00:00

A piped event stream may contain arbitary sized tracepoint information
following a PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA event.  The position in the
stream has to be 'skipped' to match the start of the next event.

Provide the same ability to a non-piped event stream to allow for
Instruction Trace data that may also be in a non-piped event stream.

perf session: Flag if the event stream is entirely in memory

2014-07-16T20:57:36+00:00

Flag if the event stream is a file that has been mmapped in one go.

This is useful, for example, if a tool needs to keep an event for later
reference.  If the new flag is set, a pointer to the event can be
retained, otherwise the event must be copied.

perf machine: Fix the value used for unknown pids

2014-07-16T20:57:33+00:00

The value used for unknown pids cannot be zero because that is used by
the "idle" task.

Use -1 instead.  Also handle the unknown pid case when creating map
groups.

Note that, threads with an unknown pid should not occur because fork (or
synthesized) events precede the thread's existence.

perf session: Fix possible null pointer dereference in session.c

2014-05-16T07:18:51+00:00

cppcheck detected following warning:
[tools/perf/util/session.c:1628] -> [tools/perf/util/session.c:1632]:
 (warning) Possible null pointer dereference: session - otherwise it
 is redundant to check it against null.

In order to avoide null pointer, check the pointer before use.

perf session: Change header.misc dump from decimal to hex

2014-03-14T21:08:39+00:00

When printing the raw dump of a data file, the header.misc is
printed as a decimal.  Unfortunately, that field is a bit mask, so
it is hard to interpret as a decimal.

Print in hex, so the user can easily see what bits are set and more
importantly what type of info it is conveying.

perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump

2014-02-18T12:34:48+00:00

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information
compact.

The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more
into the struct regs_dump.

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE properly

2014-02-10T14:34:31+00:00

We removed event types from data file in following commits:

  6065210 perf tools: Remove event types framework completely
  44b3c57 perf tools: Remove event types from perf data file

We no longer need this information, because we can get it directly from
tracepoints.

But we still need to handle PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE event for the
sake of old perf data files created in pipe mode like:

  $ perf.3.4 record -o - foo >perf.data
  $ perf.312 report -i - < perf.data
