perf tools: Remove auto-generated bison/flex files

2012-03-30T15:43:17+00:00

These should not be in the Git history - they are auto-generated.

Extend the Makefile rules of the parser files to include the generation
run.

perf tools: Switch module.h into export.h

2012-03-26T15:19:57+00:00

When merged to Linus's latest tree the perf build is broken
due to following change in lib/rbtree.c object:

  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  commit 8bc3bcc93a2b4e47d5d410146f6546bca6171663
  Author: Paul Gortmaker 
  Date:   Wed Nov 16 21:29:17 2011 -0500

We need to move module.h header into export.h.

perf report: Add a simple GTK2-based 'perf report' browser

2012-03-19T18:13:29+00:00

This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's
based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c.

To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type:

  $ perf report --gtk

The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment:

  - No callgraph support

  - No KVM guest profiling support

  - No color coding for percentages

  - No sorting from the UI

  - ..and many, many more!

That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.

perf tools: Add perf pmu object to access pmu format definition

2012-03-16T17:29:35+00:00

Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs
event format definition located at:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format

Following interface is exported:
  struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name);
  - this function returns pmu object, which is then
    passed as a handle to other interface functions

  int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr,
                       struct list_head *head_terms);
  - this function configures perf_event_attr struct based
    on pmu's format definitions and config terms data,
    containined in head_terms list.

Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition.
The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule
'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex
sources.

Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could
be run like:
	perf test pmu

perf tools: Add parser generator for events parsing

2012-03-16T17:20:21+00:00

Changing event parsing to use flex/bison parse generator.

Added flex/bison files for event grammar parsing. The generated

to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex sources.

perf tools: Adjust make rules

2012-03-15T17:23:28+00:00

Add rules to generate pre-processed files (just like are available for
the normal kernel build), and adjust the rule to create assembly files
from C ones to produce its output in the output directory rather than
in the source tree.

E.g.

  $ make -C tools/perf/ O=/tmp/perf /tmp/perf/builtin-top.i
  make: Entering directory `/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
      CC /tmp/perf/builtin-top.i
  make: Leaving directory `/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
  $ wc -l /tmp/perf/builtin-top.i
  31379 /tmp/perf/builtin-top.i
  $

perf tools, x86: Build perf on older user-space as well

2012-03-14T15:42:34+00:00

On ancient systems I get this build failure:

  util/../../../arch/x86/include/asm/unistd.h:67:29: error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
  In file included from util/cache.h:7,
                   from builtin-test.c:8:
  util/../perf.h: In function ‘sys_perf_event_open’:In file included from util/../perf.h:16
  perf.h:170: error: ‘__NR_perf_event_open’ undeclared (first use in this function)

The reason is that this old system does not have the split
unistd.h headers yet, from which to pick up the syscall
definitions.

Add the syscall numbers to the already existing i386 and x86_64
blocks in perf.h, and also provide empty include file stubs.

With this patch perf builds and works fine on 5 years old
user-space as well.

perf tools: Add descriptions of missing Makefile arguments

2012-03-05T13:15:50+00:00

There are some variable arguments can be specified on make invocation,
but some of them are missing descriptions so that user cannot be
informed easily. Fix it.
