perf test powerpc: Fix 'Object code reading' test

2017-09-01T17:45:59+00:00

'Object code reading' test always fails on powerpc guest. Two reasons
for the failure are:

1. When elf section is too big (size beyond 'unsigned int' max value).
objdump fails to disassemble from such section. This was fixed with
commit 0f6329bd7fc ("binutils/objdump: Fix disassemble for huge elf
sections") in binutils.

2. When the sample is from hypervisor. Hypervisor symbols can not be
resolved within guest and thus thread__find_addr_map() fails for such
symbols. Fix this by ignoring hypervisor symbols in the test.

perf test: Add 'struct test *' to the test functions

2017-08-11T13:42:53+00:00

This way we'll be able to pass more test specific parameters without
having to change this function signature.

Will be used by the upcoming 'shell tests', shell scripts that will
call perf tools and check if they work as expected, comparing its
effects on the system (think 'perf probe foo') the output produced, etc.

perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump

2017-06-08T18:39:19+00:00

If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before
running objdump to parse binary data correctly.  This fixes a failure of
object code reading test for me.

perf tools: Include sys/param.h where needed

2017-04-24T16:43:30+00:00

As it is going away from util.h, where it is not needed.

This is mostly for things like MAXPATHLEN, MAX() and MIN(), these later
two probably should go away in favor of its kernel sources replacements.

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

2017-04-19T16:01:51+00:00

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes
hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause
a complete rebuild of the tools.

perf tools: Move sane ctype stuff from util.h to sane_ctype.h

More stuff that came from git, out of the hodge-podge that is util.h

perf tools: Add include where ARRAY_SIZE() is used

2017-04-19T16:01:44+00:00

To pave the way for further cleanups where linux/kernel.h may stop being
included in some header.

perf utils: Check verbose flag properly

2017-02-20T14:35:54+00:00

It now can have negative value to suppress the message entirely.  So it
needs to check it being positive.

perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

2016-09-05T14:14:50+00:00

We're not using it anymore, few users were, but we really could do
without it, simplify lots of functions by removing it.
