perf annotate: Fix off by one symbol hist size allocation and hit accounting

2012-03-29T20:13:45+00:00

We were not noticing it because symbol__inc_addr_samples was erroneously
dropping samples that hit the last byte in a function.

Working on a fix for a problem reported by David Miller, Stephane
Eranian and Sorin Dumitru, where addresses < sym->start were causing
problems, I noticed this other problem.

perf annotate: addr2line wants addresses in same format as objdump

2012-03-28T15:06:24+00:00

Therefore, in symbol__get_source_line(), use map__rip_2objdump
instead of calling map->unmap_ip() unconditionally.

perf annotate: Add missing newline on error message

2012-03-05T13:15:50+00:00

If perf.data couldn't find vmlinux image for the given build-id,
it would print error message. However it lacked a newline at the
end, so the output looked like below:

 $ perf annotate --stdio
 No vmlinux file with build id 63b554b2e90f14a4bced200008865e757d3e8b36
 was found in the path.

 Please use:

   perf buildid-cache -av vmlinux

 or:

Fix it by adding a newline at the end of the message. It doesn't affect
the tui output AFAICS. New output will look like this:

perf tools: Fix truncated annotation

2011-12-23T18:39:19+00:00

I get such truncated annotation results in 'perf top':

Note the missing 'retq' which is there in the original function:

ffffffff810966a8 :
ffffffff810966a8:       48 63 ff                movslq %edi,%rdi

ffffffff810966ba:       8b 80 e0 07 00 00       mov    0x7e0(%rax),%eax
ffffffff810966c0:       48 98                   cltq
ffffffff810966c2:       c3                      retq

ffffffff810966c3 :

I'm using a fairly recent binutils:

  GNU objdump version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc16 20110118

AFAICS the bug is simply that sym->end points to the last byte
of the symbol in question - while objdump's --stop-address
expects the last byte plus 1 to disassemble the full range.

perf symbols: Add nr_events to symbol_conf

2011-11-28T12:37:11+00:00

Since symbol__alloc_hists need it, to avoid passing it around in many
functions have it in the symbol_conf struct.

perf: Support setting the disassembler style

2011-09-29T20:10:00+00:00

Add -M option to report/annotate to pass directly to objdump.  This
allows to use -M intel for intel style disassembler syntax, which is
useful for people who are very used to the Intel syntax.

perf annotate: Make output more readable

2011-08-18T10:38:21+00:00

This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
	- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
	- --no-source  : Do not interleave source code with assembly code

We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.

Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.

Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

perf symbols: Rename dso->origin to dso->symtab_type

And the DSO__ORIG_ enum to SYMTAB__, to clarify that this is about from
where the symtab was obtained.

perf annotate: Show better message when no vmlinux is found

2011-02-23T15:13:39+00:00

In both --tui and --stdio, in 'annotate', 'top', 'report' when trying to
annotate a kernel symbol having just access to a kallsyms file, that
doesn't have the DWARF info needed for annotation.
