perf: Add back list_head data types

2010-08-12T19:50:00+00:00

This commit:

 de5d9bf: Move list types from  to .

Moved the list head data types out of list.h, breaking the build.
Add them to the perf types.h as well.

perf tui: Introduce list_head based generic ui_browser refresh routine

2010-08-06T19:51:12+00:00

So that building other browser based on structures linked via a linked
list can be as easy as it is already for the ones linked via an rb_tree.

perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER

2010-05-17T18:43:38+00:00

To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

perf tools: Don't use code surrounded by KERNEL

2010-05-02T15:00:44+00:00

We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at
least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare
minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

perf: Move arch specific code into separate arch directory

2010-04-22T03:48:31+00:00

The perf userspace tool included some architecture specific code to map
registers from the DWARF register number into the names used by the regs
and stack access API.

This moves the architecture specific code out into a separate
arch/x86 directory along with the infrastructure required to use it.

perf tools: Move __used from perf.h to linux/compiler.h

2010-03-26T07:52:59+00:00

Just like in the kernel and also to remove the need to include
perf.h in the symbol subsystem.

perf tools: Use eprintf for pr_{err,warning,info} too

2010-03-12T09:28:36+00:00

Just like we do for pr_debug, so that we can have a single point
where to redirect to the currently used output system, be it
stdio or newt.

perf tools: Adjust some verbosity levels

2010-02-04T08:33:27+00:00

Not to pollute too much 'perf annotate' debugging sessions.

perf: Add util/include/linuxhash.h to include hash.h of kernel

2010-01-31T07:27:53+00:00

linux/hash.h, hash header of kernel, is also useful for perf.

util/include/linuxhash.h includes linux/hash.h, so we can use
hash facilities (e.g. hash_long()) in perf now.

perf symbols: Simplify symbol machinery setup

2009-11-24T15:37:02+00:00

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.

Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.
