perf: script: prefer capstone to XED

2024-02-21T02:07:34+00:00

Now perf can show assembly instructions with libcapstone for x86, and the
capstone is better in general.

tools ui popup: Allow returning hotkeys

2020-01-06T14:46:10+00:00

With this patch if an optional pointer is passed to ui__popup_menu()
then when any key that is not being handled (ENTER, ESC, etc) is typed,
it'll record that key in the pointer and return, allowing for hotkey
processing on the caller.

If NULL is passed, no change in logic, unhandled keys continue to be
ignored.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.

perf auxtrace: Uninline functions that touch perf_session

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

perf sort: Remove needless headers from sort.h, provide fwd struct decls

2019-08-26T14:58:29+00:00

Reducing the includes hell a bit more, speeding up the build and
avoiding needless rebuilds when just one of those files gets updated.

libperf: Move perf_event_attr field from perf's evsel to libperf's perf_evsel

2019-07-29T21:34:45+00:00

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'.

Committer notes:

Fixed up these:

 tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c
 tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
 tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c
 tools/perf/arch/s390/util/auxtrace.c
 tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c

Also

  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  tests/sample-parsing.c: In function 'do_test':
  tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: missing initializer
  tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: (near initialization for 'evsel.core.cpus')

   	struct evsel evsel = {
   		.needs_swap = false,
  -		.core.attr = {
  -			.sample_type = sample_type,
  -			.read_format = read_format,
  +		.core = {
  +			. attr = {
  +				.sample_type = sample_type,
  +				.read_format = read_format,
  +			},

  [perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1
  gcc (GCC) 4.4.7

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

perf evsel: Rename struct perf_evsel to struct evsel

2019-07-29T21:34:42+00:00

Rename struct perf_evsel to struct evsel, so we don't have a name clash
when we add struct perf_evsel in libperf.

Added fixes for arm64, provided by Jiri.

perf tools: Use zfree() where applicable

2019-07-09T13:13:27+00:00

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:

   free(a);
   a = NULL;

And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

perf ui browser: Fix ui popup argv browser for many entries

2019-03-11T19:33:20+00:00

Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit
on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with
pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly
with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit
the display function correctly.

Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.

Committer testing:

1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines

2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options
   in the menu

3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash:

  # perf report --samples 1
