tools lib api fs: Add sysfs__write_int function

2017-06-21T14:35:27+00:00

Add sysfs__write_int() to ease up writing int to sysfs.  New interface
is:

  int sysfs__write_int(const char *entry, int value);

Also, introducing filename__write_int() which is useful for new helpers
to write sysctl values.

perf sdt: Show proper hint when event not yet in place via 'perf probe'

2017-02-08T12:28:54+00:00

All events from 'perf list', except SDT events, can be directly recorded
with 'perf record'. But, the flow is little different for SDT events.

Probe points for SDT event needs to be created using 'perf probe' before
recording it using 'perf record'.

Perf shows misleading hint when a user tries to record SDT event without
first creating a probe point. Show proper hint there.

Before patch:

  $ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
    event syntax error: 'sdt_glib:idle__add'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint

    Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_glib/idle__add not found.
    Hint:  Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
    ...

After patch:

  $ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
    event syntax error: 'sdt_glib:idle__add'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint

    Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_glib/idle__add not found.
    Hint:  SDT event cannot be directly recorded on.
           Please first use 'perf probe sdt_glib:idle__add' before recording it.
    ...

  $ perf probe sdt_glib:idle__add
    Added new event:
      sdt_glib:idle__add   (on %idle__add in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2)

    You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e sdt_glib:idle__add -aR sleep 1

  $ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.175 MB perf.data ]

make use of make variable CURDIR instead of calling pwd

2016-12-11T11:12:56+00:00

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make
use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by
CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the
build system more robust.

tools lib api fs: Add hugetlbfs filesystem detector

Detect hugetlbfs. hugetlbfs__mountpoint() will be used during recording
to help identifying hugetlb mmaps: which should be recognized as anon

tools lib api: Add str_error_c to libapi

2016-07-27T20:16:43+00:00

Because it uses that function, which would lead every tool using it
to need to link against tools/lib/str_error_r.o.

This fixes building tools/vm/, that links with libapi.

tools lib fd array: Allow associating a pointer cookie with each entry

2016-07-15T20:27:46+00:00

Add a 'ptr' field to fdarray->priv array.

This feature will be used by following commits, which introduce
muiltiple 'struct perf_mmap' arrays for different types of mapping.

Because of this, during fdarray__filter(), a simple 'idx' is not enough.

Add a pointer cookie that allows to directly associate a 'struct
perf_mmap' pointer to an fdarray entry.

tools lib api fs: Use base 0 in filename__read_ull

2016-07-15T16:38:05+00:00

By using 0 for base, the strtoull() detects the base automatically (see
'man strtoull').

ATM we have just one user of this function, the cpu__get_max_freq
function reading the "cpuinfo_max_freq" sysfs file. It should not get
affected by this change.

Committer note:

This change seems motivated by this discussion:

"[PATCH] [RFC V1]s390/perf: fix 'start' address of module's map"
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160711120155.GA29929@krava

I.e. this patches paves the way for filename__read_ull() to be used in a
S/390 related fix.
