perf record: handle death by SIGTERM

2013-05-28T13:23:58Z

Perf data files cannot be processed until the header is updated which is done via an on_exit handler. If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM it does not run the on_exit hooks leaving the perf.data file in a random state which perf-report will happily spin on trying to read. As noted by Mike an easy reproducer is: perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT. Also need to remove the kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.

perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)

2013-04-01T15:19:43Z

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

perf tools: Get rid of redundant _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition

perf record: Fixup return path of cmd_record()

2013-03-15T16:06:11Z

The error path of calling perf_target__parse_uid wrongly went to out_free_fd. Also add missing evlist cleanup routines.

perf evlist: Add want_signal parameter to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()

perf evlist: Do not pass struct record_opts to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()

2013-03-15T16:06:02Z

Since it's only used for checking ->pipe_output, we can pass the result directly. Now the perf_evlist__prepare_workload() don't have a dependency of struct perf_record_opts, it can be called from other places like perf stat.

perf evlist: Pass struct perf_target to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()

2013-03-15T16:06:02Z

It's a preparation step of removing @opts arg from the function so that it can be used more widely.

perf evlist: Remove cpus and threads arguments from perf_evlist__new()

2013-03-15T16:06:01Z

It's almost always used with NULL for both arguments. Get rid of the arguments from the signature and use perf_evlist__set_maps() if needed.
