perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support

2013-09-11T13:09:32+00:00

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.

It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.

This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.

The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

[ Cope with 314add6 "Change machine__findnew_thread() to set thread pid",
  fix 'perf test' regression test entry affected,
  use perf_missing_features.mmap2 to fallback to not using .mmap2 in older kernels,
  so that new tools can work with kernels where this feature is not present ]

perf kvm: Fix sample_type manipulation

2013-09-09T19:13:11+00:00

Manipulating the sample_type of an evsel requires the use of:

	perf_evsel__set_sample_bit()
and	perf_evsel__reset_sample_bit()

perf evlist: Fix id pos in perf_evlist__open()

2013-09-09T18:51:44+00:00

Ensure the id_pos is correct when perf_evlist__open() is used.

This fixes a problem introduced in 7556257 that broke 'perf kvm stat
live' in that this tool wasn't updated to use the sample_type bits
setting helpers.

perf trace: Handle perf.data files with no tracepoints

2013-09-09T18:50:44+00:00

Before:

  perf trace -i perf.data
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

After:

 # perf trace -i perf.data
 Data file does not have raw_syscalls:sys_enter events
 #

When there are no tracepoints in a perf.data file the struct pevent
that contains the list of tracepoints that will be used to lookup the
tracepoint id by name will not be populated, causing a NULL deref.

And we don't need to do all that dance to look at pevents for an entry
with a slighly different name to then lookup the tracepoint by its id on
the evlist, just use the perf_evlist__find_tracepoint_by_name() routine,
that will find the tracepoint, if present.

perf session: Separate progress bar update when processing events

2013-09-05T19:19:02+00:00

Currently when processing events in the __perf_session__process_events
function we update a progress bar based on the file_size. During the
same processing we update the progress bar from within
flush_sample_queue which is based on number of samples count.

Having 2 different based updates is causing the progress bar to jump
heavily back and forth giving not much usefull info.

Fixing this by keeping only __perf_session__process_events based
progress bar update. And turning on flush_sample_queue progress bar
update only for final flushing.

This reduces the number of time the progress bar update function is
called and it significantly reduces the loading time for TUI, where the
progress bar update takes quite a lot of time.

perf trace: Check if MAP_32BIT is defined

2013-09-05T19:18:46+00:00

MAP_32BIT is defined only on x86... this means perf fails to build on
all other platforms.

perf hists: Fix formatting of long symbol names

2013-09-05T19:18:28+00:00

We had a hardcoded buffer for formatting histogram entries, truncating
long symbol names (C++ anyone?).

Fix it by using hists__sort_list_width() before formatting the first
histogram entry to calculate the max lenght needed by traversing the
overheads and columns lists (sort order).

perf evlist: Fix parsing with no sample_id_all bit set

2013-09-05T19:18:08+00:00

The perf_evlist__event2evsel() is changed to handle non-sample events
(such as mmap events) that have no id sample appended i.e. when
sample_id_all is not set.

Note that such events have a fixed format, so that the selected event
(evsel) they are associated with is immaterial.

perf tools: Add test for parsing with no sample_id_all bit

2013-09-05T19:17:46+00:00

Add a test for parsing a non-sample event when there is more than one
selected event but no sample_id_all bit set.

The test fails because of a bug in the evlist logic.  That is fixed in a
separate patch.

perf trace: Check control+C more often

2013-09-05T19:17:25+00:00

We were checking for it only after processing all events in the buffer,
delaying processing the termination request for long periods.
