tools: Introduce tools/include/linux/time64.h for SEC_PER_SEC macros

2016-08-23T18:37:33+00:00

And remove it from tools/perf/{perf,util}.h, making code that needs
these macros to include linux/time64.h instead, to match how this is
used in the kernel sources.

perf tools: Make is_printable_array global

2016-07-18T22:49:47+00:00

It's used from 2 objects in perf, so it's better to keep just one copy.

perf tools: Do not provide dup sched_getcpu() prototype on Android

2016-07-14T15:02:04+00:00

The Bionic libc has this definition, so don't duplicate it.

perf tools: Remove unneeded magic.h include from util.h

2016-07-12T18:20:35+00:00

Not used anymore, IIRC it was for useless PROC_FS_MAGIC procfs checks,
but those are long gone.

perf tools: Introduce weak alternative to sched_getcpu()

2016-07-12T18:20:34+00:00

Which is just a wrapper for sys_getcpu and is not present in at least
musl libc.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47+00:00

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace

2016-05-17T02:11:54+00:00

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

perf tools: Set the maximum allowed stack from /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack

2016-04-27T13:29:07+00:00

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

perf tools: Add lsdir() helper to read a directory

2016-04-26T16:14:55+00:00

As a utility function, add lsdir() which reads given directory and store
entry name into a strlist.  lsdir accepts a filter function so that user
can filter out unneeded entries.
