perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info

2017-03-14T14:38:23+00:00

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
     ret  += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
                                         ^
Testing it:

  # perf record --namespaces -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ]
  #

perf thread: convert thread.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-03-03T22:07:16+00:00

The refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t
when the variable is used as a reference counter.

This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to
use-after-free situations.

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
