perf tools: Do not accept parse_tag_value() overflow

2013-10-23T13:59:09+00:00

parse_tag_value() accepts an "unsigned long" and multiplies it according
to a tag character.  Do not accept the value if the multiplication
overflows.

perf tools: Introduce filename__read_int helper

2013-10-17T19:33:43+00:00

Just opens a file and calls atoi() in at most its first 64 bytes.

To read things like /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

perf tools: Add possibility to specify mmap size

2013-10-09T14:24:20+00:00

Adding possibility to specify mmap size via -m/--mmap-pages
by appending unit size character (B/K/M/G) to the
number, like:
  $ perf record -m 8K ls
  $ perf record -m 2M ls

The size is rounded up appropriately to follow perf
mmap restrictions.

If no unit is specified the number provides pages as
of now, like:
  $ perf record -m 8 ls

perf util: Add parse_nsec_time() function

2013-08-07T20:35:26+00:00

The parse_nsec_time() function is for parsing a string of time into
64-bit nsec value.  It's a preparation of time filtering in some of perf
commands.

perf util: Move debugfs/tracing helper functions to util.c

2013-07-12T16:46:00+00:00

Since they're generic helpers move them to util.c so that they can be
used by others.

libperf.a. Code move only.

perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure

2013-01-24T19:40:09+00:00

The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
calls and do the checking.

But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
linked on the python binding, breaking it:

  # perf test -v 15
  15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       :
  --- start ---
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
  ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
  ---- end ----
  Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  #

Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
linked in the python binding.

Now 'perf test' is happy again:

  # perf test 15
  15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : Ok
  #
