perf ui/tui: Print helpline message as is

2016-01-12T15:42:08+00:00

When a tip message contains a percent sign, it was treated printf format
specifier so broken string was printed like below.

  Tip: Limit to show entries above 577nly: perf report --percent-limit 5
                                   ^^^

As ui_browser__show receives format string, pass additional "%s" so that
the help (tip) message can be printed as is.

  Tip: Limit to show entries above 5% only: perf report --percent-limit 5

perf tools: Skip dynamic fields not defined for current event

2016-01-06T23:11:12+00:00

When there are multiple events, each dynamic sort key is defined just
for one event.  In this case other events will always show "N/A" for
those fields.  But they are meaningless and consume precious screen
width.

Let's skip those undefined dynamic fields.

  $ perf record -e kmem:kmalloc,kmem:kfree -a sleep 1

  $ perf report -s 'comm,kmalloc.*' --stdio

perf hists browser: Fix segfault if use symbol filter in cmdline

2015-12-07T15:02:35+00:00

If feed perf a symbol filter in cmdline and the result is empty,
pressing 'Enter' in the hist browser causes crash:

 # ./perf report perf.data   <-- Common mistake for beginners

Then press 'Enter':

 perf: Segmentation fault
 -------- backtrace --------
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e578]
 /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f76bafe045f]

 /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7f76bafccbd4]
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4]

This is because 'perf.data' is interpreted as a symbol filter, and the
result is empty, so selection is empty. However,
hist_browser__toggle_fold() forgets to check it.

This patch simply return false when selection is NULL.

perf hists browser: Reset selection when refresh

2015-12-07T15:02:12+00:00

With the following steps:

 Step 1: perf report

 Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER'

 Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns
         empty result

 Step 4: Press 'ENTER'

We see that, even if we have filtered all the symbols (and the main
interface is empty), pressing 'ENTER' still selects one symbol. This
behavior surprises the user.

This patch resets browser->{he_,}selection in hist_browser__refresh()
and lets it choose default selection. In this case
browser->{he_,}selection keeps NULL so user won't see annotation item in
menu.

perf hists browser: Add NULL pointer check to prevent crash

2015-12-07T15:02:11+00:00

Before this patch we can trigger a segfault by following steps:

 Step 0: Use 'perf record' to generate a perf.data without callchain

 Step 1: perf report

 Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER'

 Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns
         empty result

 Step 4: Press 'ENTER' (notice here that the old selection is still
		        there. This is another problem)

 Step 5: Press 'ENTER' to annotate that symbol

 Step 6: Press 'LEFT' to go out.

 Result: segfault:

 perf: Segmentation fault
 -------- backtrace --------
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e568]
 /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7fba75d3245f]

 /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7fba75d1ebd4]
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4]

This is because in this case 'nd' could be NULL in
ui_browser__hists_seek(), but that function never checks it.

This patch adds checker for potential NULL pointer in that function.
After this patch the above steps won't segfault.

perf hists browser: Update nr entries regardless of min percent

2015-11-28T00:53:33+00:00

When perf report on TUI was called with -S symbol filter, it should
update nr entries even if min_pcnt is 0.  IIRC the reason was to update
nr entries after applying minimum percent threshold.  But if symbol
filter was given on command line (with -S option), it should use
hists->nr_non_filtered_entries instead of hists->nr_entries.

So this patch fixes a bug of navigating hists browser that the cursor
goes beyond the number of entries when -S (or similar) option is used.

perf hists browser: Support folded callchains

2015-11-19T16:19:25+00:00

The folded callchain mode prints all chains in a single line.

Currently perf report --tui doesn't support folded callchains.  Like
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes.  To do that, add flat_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.

For example, folded callchain looks like below:

  $ perf report -g folded --tui
  Samples: 234  of event 'cycles:pp', Event count (approx.): 32605268
    Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
  -   39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle

perf hists browser: Support flat callchains

2015-11-19T16:19:24+00:00

The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple
hierarchy so make it easy to see.

Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly.  With
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes.  To do that, add parent_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.

For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'.

  $ perf report -g graph
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       intel_idle
       cpuidle_enter_state
       cpuidle_enter
       call_cpuidle
     - cpu_startup_entry
          28.63% start_secondary
        - 11.30% rest_init
             start_kernel
             x86_64_start_reservations
             x86_64_start_kernel

Before:
  $ perf report -g flat
  - 39.93%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] intel_idle
       28.63% start_secondary
     - 11.30% rest_init
          start_kernel
          x86_64_start_reservations
          x86_64_start_kernel
