perf tools: Add pid/tid filtering to report and script commands

2015-03-24T16:02:46+00:00

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of
pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data.

Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only
consider samples related to the given pids/tids.

This is also inline with the existing comm option.

perf tools: Reference count struct thread

2015-03-03T03:17:08+00:00

We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.

perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly way

2014-10-29T12:32:49+00:00

This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a
database-friendly way.  The abstraction does not implement the actual
output.  A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending
the script interface.

The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms
etc need to be exported only once.  That means allocating them a unique
identifier and recording it on each structure.  The member 'db_id' is
used for that.  'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number.

Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports
the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a
db_id.

perf tools: A thread's machine can be found via thread->mg->machine

2014-10-29T12:32:46+00:00

So stop passing both machine and thread to several thread methods,
reducing function signature length.

perf tools: Identify which comms are from exec

2014-08-13T22:23:08+00:00

For grouping together all the data from a single execution, which is
needed for pairing calls and returns e.g. any outstanding calls when a
process exec's will never return.

perf tools: Add cpu to struct thread

2014-07-23T14:27:50+00:00

Tools may wish to track on which cpu a thread is running.  Add 'cpu' to
struct thread for that purpose.

This will be used to determine the cpu when decoding a per-thread
Instruction Trace.

E.g: Intel PT decoding uses sched_switch events to determine which task
is running on which cpu.  The Intel PT data comes straight from the
hardware which doesn't know about linux threads.

perf tools: Share map_groups among threads of the same group

2014-04-28T11:43:33+00:00

Sharing map groups within all process threads. This way
there's only one copy of mmap info and it's reachable
from any thread within the process.

perf tools: Allocate thread map_groups's dynamically

2014-04-28T11:43:20+00:00

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads.

Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No
other functional change is intended in here.

Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the
conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a
pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor,
introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and
call at thread creation time.

Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing
those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.
