      perf evsel: Introduce perf_evlist · 361c99a6
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Killing two more perf wide global variables: nr_counters and evsel_list
      as a list_head.
      
      There are more operations that will need more fields in perf_evlist,
      like the pollfd for polling all the fds in a list of evsel instances.
      
      Use option->value to pass the evsel_list to parse_{events,filters}.

      perf tools: Fix build by checking if extra warnings are supported · 065bef5a

      The -Wstack-protector and -Wvolatile-register-var warnings, for
      instance, are not supported by gcc 3.4.6.
      
      So fix by doing the same check we already do for -fstack-protector-all.
      
      With this and the other patches in this series, perf builds unmodified
      on, for instance, RHEL4.

      perf makefile: Allow strong and weak functions in LIB_OBJS · b38aa896
      Ian Munsie 提交于
      When we build perf we place all of the .o files from the library files
      (util, arch/x/util, etc) into libperf.a which is then linked into perf.
      
      The problem is that the linker will by default only consider .o files
      within the .a archive if they are necessary to satisfy an unresolved
      symbol. As weak functions are not unresolved, it will not consider a .o
      file from the archive containing the strong versions of weak functions
      unless it requires it for another reason.
      
      This patch adds the --whole-archive flags to the linker when passing in
      the libperf.a file to ensure that it will consider every .o file in the
      archive, not just what it believes that it needs. The end result is that
      weak functions can now be overridden by strong variants of them in the
      libperf.a file.

      perf tools: Remove hardcoded include paths for elfutils · a7112397
      Robert Morell 提交于
      This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
      from the perf build.  The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
      from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
      purposes).
      
      Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
      files are needed from that directory.
      
      Tested by building perf:
      - Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
      - Built natively on x86_64
      - Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
        and manually included in CFLAGS

      Parts of the build process were generating files outside the specified
      O= directory, causing the build to fail on systems where the sources are
      in a read only file system.
      
      Fix it by using $(OUTPUT) on these locations.
      
      Also check that $(OUTPUT) actually exists, just like the top level
      kernel Makefile does. Otherwise the failure message emitted is

      perf tools: Reorganize the Makefile feature tests · f9af3a4c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc
      function similar to the try-run in Kbuild.
      
      This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE
      target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where
      /dev/null can't be used as the output file name.
      
      As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for
      features, we can more properly use identation.
      
      The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to
      see what is needed to have bfd_demangle.
      
      We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the
      distance from the kernel build system.

      After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-

      It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.
      
      With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
      by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key

      perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browser · ef7b93a1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
      symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
      in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
      directly to do annotation.
      
      Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
      directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
      them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
      
      The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
      histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
      the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
      using list_heads.

      perf: add perf-inject builtin · 454c407e
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
      session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
      
      What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
      the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
      event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
      that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
      
      This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
      leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
      build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
      perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
      e.g.:
      
      perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
      
      perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
      At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
      event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
      injected as needed into the event stream.
      
      Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
      anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
      with additional information could make use of this facility.

      *ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
       ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
       ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
      Maps only in kallsyms:
       ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
      ---- end ----
      vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
      
      In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
      the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
      vmlinux.
      
      The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
      there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
      need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
      the vmlinux case.
      
      The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
      considers this fatal.
      
      The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
      these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
      
      The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
      another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
      sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
      
      But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
      /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
      
      This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
      symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
      together with comments about what is being done.
      
      More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
      makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

      perf tools: Fix libdw-dev package name in error message · f93830fb
      Stefan Hajnoczi 提交于
      The headers required for DWARF support are provided by the libdw-dev
      package in Debian-based distros.  This patch corrects the elfutils-dev
      package name to libdw-dev in the Makefile error message when libdw.h is
      not found.
