perf hists: Trim libtraceevent trace_seq buffers

2016-08-09T13:46:56+00:00

When we use libtraceevent to format trace event fields into printable
strings to use in hist entries it is important to trim it from the
default 4 KiB it starts with to what is really used, to reduce the
memory footprint, so use realloc(seq.buffer, seq.len + 1) when returning
the seq.buffer formatted with the fields contents.

perf tools: Bail out at "--sort dcacheline" and cacheline_size not known

2016-07-15T13:08:43+00:00

There are cases where further work would be needed to overcome the fact
that neither sysconf(_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE) nor
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/coherency_line_size are
available in some systems (Android, for instance), so bail out when such
a situation takes place.

perf evlist: Rename for_each() macros to for_each_entry()

2016-06-23T14:26:15+00:00

To match the semantics for list.h in the kernel, that are used to
implement those macros.

perf hists: Enlarge pid sort entry size

2016-06-22T12:56:35+00:00

The pid sort entry currently aligns pids with 5 digits, which is not
enough for current 4 million pids limit.

This leads to unaligned ':' header-data output when we display 7 digits
pid:

  # Children      Self  Symbol                    Pid:Command
  # ........  ........  ......................  .....................
  #
       0.12%     0.12%  [.] 0x0000000000147e0f  2052894:krava
  ...

Adding 2 more digit to properly align the pid limit:

  # Children      Self  Symbol                      Pid:Command
  # ........  ........  ......................  .......................
  #
       0.12%     0.12%  [.] 0x0000000000147e0f  2052894:krava

None of the actual callbacks actually use evsel object, also this will

perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys

2016-05-23T14:25:16+00:00

Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

  % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
  % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict

perf diff: Fix duplicated output column

2016-05-11T14:55:32+00:00

The commit b97511c5bc94 ("perf tools: Add overhead/overhead_children
keys defaults via string") moved initialization of column headers but it
missed to check the sort__mode.  As 'perf diff' doesn't call
perf_hpp__init(), the setup_overhead() also should not be called.
