perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tools: Add the bash completion for listing subsubcommands of perf help

2015-03-19T16:49:39+00:00

The bash completion does not support listing subsubcommands for 'perf
help ', so fix it.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf help 
 $

As shown above, the subsubcommands of perf help does not come out.

After this patch:

 $ perf help 
 annotate       buildid-cache  data           evlist         inject
 kvm            lock           probe          report         script
 test           top
 bench          buildid-list   diff           help           kmem
 list           mem            record         sched          stat
 timechart      trace

As shown above, the subsubcommands of perf help can come out now.

perf help: Fix --help for builtins

2012-10-22T14:35:49+00:00

It seems that commit cc5848213329 ("perf help: Remove use of die and
handle errors") caused the problem - it changed the initial value of
'help_format' from HELP_FORMAT_MAN to HELP_FORMAT_NONE.

This broke the --help option for all builtins, that would produce no
output, while 'man perf-top' would work it MANPATH is properly setup.

2012-10-02T21:36:31+00:00

Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.
