perf tools: Update mmap2 interface with protection and flag bits

2014-06-09T11:34:45+00:00

The kernel piece passes more info now.  Update the perf tool to reflect
that and adjust the synthesized maps to play along.

perf machine: Search for modules in %s/lib/modules/%s

2014-04-30T14:49:29+00:00

Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into
"%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them
when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good
citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This
way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start
populating a directory reserved for in-kernel modules and I can stop
hex-editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree
modules.

Feedback from Namhyung Kim correctly revealed that the hex-edits that I
had been doing meant that perf was also traversing the build and source
symlinks in %s/lib/modules/%s. That is undesireable, so we explicitly
exclude them from traversal with a minor tweak to the traversal routine.

perf tools: Share map_groups among threads of the same group

2014-04-28T11:43:33+00:00

Sharing map groups within all process threads. This way
there's only one copy of mmap info and it's reachable
from any thread within the process.

perf tools: Use tid in mmap/mmap2 events to find maps

2014-03-18T21:17:00+00:00

Now that we can properly synthesize threads system-wide, make sure the
mmap and mmap2 events use tids instead of pids to locate their maps.

perf symbols: Record the reason for filtering an address_location

2014-03-18T21:16:57+00:00

By turning the addr_location->filtered member from a boolean to a u8
bitmap, reusing (and extending) the hist_filter enum for that.

This patch doesn't change the logic at all, as it keeps the meaning of
al->filtered !0 to mean that the entry _was_ filtered, so no change in
how this value is interpreted needs to be done at this point.

This will be soon used in upcoming patches.

perf machine: Factor machine__find_thread to take tid argument

2014-03-14T21:08:42+00:00

Forcing the code to always search thread by pid/tid pair.

The PID value will be needed in future to determine the process thread
leader for map groups sharing.

perf symbols: Introduce thread__find_cpumode_addr_location

2014-03-14T21:08:40+00:00

Its one level up thread__find_addr_location, where it will look in
different domains for a sample: user, kernel, hypervisor, etc.

Will soon be used by a patchkit by Andi Kleen.

perf machine: Use map as success in ip__resolve_ams

2014-03-10T14:19:36+00:00

When trying to map a bunch of instruction addresses to their respective
threads, I kept getting a lot of bogus entries [I forget the exact
reason as I patched my code months ago].

Looking through ip__resolve_ams, I noticed the check for

  if (al.sym)

and realized, most times I have an al.map definition but sometimes an
al.sym is undefined.  In the cases where al.sym is undefined, the loop
keeps going even though a valid al.map exists.

Modify this check to use the more reliable al.map.  This fixed my bogus
entries.
