perf hists browser: The dso can be obtained from popup_action->ms.map->dso

2015-11-12T21:58:18+00:00

So no need to have a 'dso' member in 'popup_action', remove it as no
code is using it, already.

perf hists browser: Fix 'd' hotkey action to filter by DSO

2015-11-12T21:58:17+00:00

When pressing 'd' the expected action is to filter all entries by the
DSO in the current entry, but for that the action->map needs to be set,
and only action->dso was being set, fix it.

perf annotate: Don't die() when finding an invalid config option

2015-10-22T21:10:52+00:00

The perf_config() infrastructure we inherited from git calls die() when
the provided config callback returns -1, meaning some key in a config
section is unexpected, that seems ok for a stdio based tool, but in
--tui we end up messing up the output, so just tell the user about the
error, wait for a keystroke and return 0, being more resilient and
proceeding with what we managed to parse.

That die() needs to die, tho :-)

perf ui tui: Register the error callbacks before initializing the widgets

2015-10-22T19:44:17+00:00

I.e. we want to tell the user about errors found during, for instance,
the ui_browser initialization, so that a call to ui__warning() appears
as a window waiting for a key to be pressed.

perf annotate: Fix 'annotate.use_offset' config variable usage

2015-10-22T19:34:29+00:00

The annotate__configs should be sorted so that it can use bsearch(3).

However commit 0c4a5bcea460 ("perf annotate: Display total number of
samples with --show-total-period") added a new config item at the end.
This resulted in the 'annotate.use_offset' config variable cannot be
found and perf terminated like below:

  $ perf report
  bad config file line 6 in ~/.perfconfig

perf hists browser: Add 'm' key for context menu display

2015-10-13T02:29:14+00:00

With horizontal scrolling, the left/right arrow keys are used to scroll
columns and ENTER/ESC keys are used to enter/exit menu.  However if
callchain is recorded, the ENTER key is used to toggle callchain
expansion so there's no way to display menu.  Use 'm' key to display the
menu for this case.

perf hists browser: Inform how to reset the symbol filter

2015-10-12T17:02:29+00:00

When in the hists browser, i.e. in 'perf report' or in 'perf top', it is
possible to press '/' and specify a substring to filter by symbol name.

Clarify how to remove a filter by making the prompt be:

   Please enter the name of symbol you want to see.
   To remove the filter later, press / + ENTER

perf ui browsers: Remove help messages about use of right and arrow keys

They were repurposed for horizontal scrolling, so use just ENTER/ESC in

perf tools: Use hpp_dimension__add_output to register hpp columns

2015-10-06T21:04:59+00:00

The perf_hpp__init currently does not respect sorting dimensions and the
setup_sorting function could endup queueing same format twice. That
screwed up the perf_hpp__list and got stuck in loop within
perf_hpp__setup_output_field function.

  $ perf report -F +overhead

Using hpp_dimension__add_output function to register the output column.
It will also mark the dimension as taken and omit above stuck.

perf hists browser: Implement horizontal scrolling

2015-10-05T20:59:49+00:00

Do it using the recently introduced ui_brower scrolling mode, setting
ui_browser.columns to the number of sort columns and then, when
rendering each line, skipping as many initial columns as the user
pressed the right arrow.

As the user presses the left arrow, the ui_browser code will remove the
scrolling counter and the left scrolling takes place.

The right arrow key was an alias for ENTER, so people used to press it
may get a bit annoyed at first, sorry! Ditto for ESC and the left key.

Callchains can be left as is or we can, when rendering the Symbol
column, store the at what position on the screen it is and then
using ui_browser__gotorc() to print it from there, i.e. the callchain
would move around with the symbol.

Leaving it as is, i.e. at a fixed position, close to the left, saves
precious screen real state for it, so I'm inclined to leave it as is
now.
