perf unwind: Move unwind__prepare_access from thread_new into thread__insert_map

2016-06-07T15:08:52+00:00

To determine the libunwind methods to use, we should get the
32bit/64bit information from maps of a thread. When a thread is newly
created, the information is not prepared. This patch moves
unwind__prepare_access() into thread__insert_map() so we can get the
information we need from maps. Meanwhile, let thread__insert_map()
return value and show messages on error.

perf unwind: Introduce 'struct unwind_libunwind_ops' for local unwind

2016-06-07T15:08:52+00:00

Currently, libunwind operations are fixed, and they are chosen according
to the host architecture. This will lead to a problem that if a thread
is run as x86_32 on a x86_64 machine, perf will use libunwind methods
for x86_64 to parse the callchain and get wrong results.

This patch changes the fixed methods of libunwind operations to be
thread/map related, and each thread can have individual libunwind
operations. Local libunwind methods are registered as default value.

perf unwind: Decouple thread->address_space on libunwind

2016-06-07T15:08:51+00:00

Currently, the type of thread->addr_space is unw_addr_space_t, which is
a pointer defined in libunwind headers. For local libunwind, we can
simple include "libunwind.h", but for remote libunwind, the header file
is depends on the target libunwind platform. This patch uses 'void *'
instead to decouple the dependence on libunwind.

perf tools: Add dedicated unwind addr_space member into thread struct

2016-04-08T12:58:02+00:00

Milian reported issue with thread::priv, which was double booked by perf
trace and DWARF unwind code. So using those together is impossible at
the moment.

Moving DWARF unwind private data into separate variable so perf trace
can keep using thread::priv.

Fixing bugs in 'perf top' where the used thread unsafe 'struct thread'
refcount implementation was falling apart because we really use two
threads.

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.
