2017-04-24T16:43:35+00:00

Removing various instances of unnecessary includes, reducing the maze of
header dependencies.

perf tools: Add include where ARRAY_SIZE() is used

2017-04-19T16:01:44+00:00

To pave the way for further cleanups where linux/kernel.h may stop being
included in some header.

perf evsel: Allow unresolved symbol names to be printed as addresses

2016-04-12T01:18:24+00:00

The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to
change the existing behaviour of showing "[unknown]" as the name of
unresolved symbols to instead show "[0x123456]", i.e. its address.

The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:

70.109 ( 0.001 ms): qemu-system-x8/10153 poll(ufds: 0x7f2d93ffe870, nfds: 1) = 0 Timeout
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   start_thread+0xca (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.22.so)
                                   __clone+0x6d (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)

The next patch will make 'perf trace' use the new formatting.

perf evsel: Rename print_ip() to fprintf_sym()

2016-04-12T01:18:17+00:00

As it receives a FILE, and its more than just the IP, which can even be
requested not to be printed.

For consistency with other similar methods in tools/perf/, name it as
perf_evsel__fprintf_sym() and make it return the number of bytes
printed, just like 'fprintf(3)'

perf tools: Add time conversion event

2016-03-31T13:52:24+00:00

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.

Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder.  However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.

So add a user event to record the time members.  'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available.  And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

perf tools: Make perf_session__register_idle_thread drop the refcount

2015-12-10T19:28:58+00:00

Note that since the thread was already inserted to the session
list, it will be released when the session is released.
Also, in perf_session__register_idle_thread() failure path,
the thread should be put before returning.

Refcnt debugger shows that the perf_session__register_idle_thread
gets the returned thread, but the caller (__cmd_top) does not
put the returned idle thread.

The perf top didn't add the idle/swapper thread to the machine's thread
list and its comm was displayed as ':0'.  Fix it.
