perf session: Add accessor for session->header.env

2025-07-25T17:37:56Z

The perf_env from the header in the session is frequently accessed, add an accessor function rather than access directly. Cache the value to avoid repeated calls. No behavioral change.

perf timechart: Remove redundant variable assignment

2024-11-13T19:27:35Z

This patch makes a minor change that removes a redundant variable assignment. The assignment before the for loop is duplicated by the initialization within the loop header.

perf build: Include libtraceevent headers directly indicated by pkg-config

2024-11-09T06:42:57Z

Currently the libtraceevent's found by pkg-config, which give the include path as: [root@localhost tmp]# pkg-config --cflags libtraceevent -I/usr/local/include/traceevent So we should include the libtraceevent headers directly without "traceevent/" prefix. Update all the users.

perf timechart: Use perf_tool__init()

2024-08-12T21:12:06Z

Use perf_tool__init() so that more uses of 'struct perf_tool' can be const and not relying on perf_tool__fill_defaults().

perf tool: Constify tool pointers

2024-08-12T21:05:14Z

The tool pointer (to a struct largely of function pointers) is passed around but is unchanged except at initialization. Change parameter and variable types to be const to lower the possibilities of what could happen with a tool.

perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions

2023-06-12T18:57:53Z

struct addr_location holds references to multiple reference counted objects. Add init/exit functions to make maintenance of those more consistent with the rest of the code and to try to avoid leaks. Modification of thread reference counts isn't included in this change. Committer notes: I needed to initialize result to sample->ip to make sure is set to something, fixing a compile time error, mostly keeping the previous logic as build_alloc_func_list() already does debugging/error prints about what went wrong if it takes the 'goto out'.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12Z

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures: - Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/ - bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target. Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.
