perf annotate: Move the default annotate options to the library

One more thing that goes from the TUI code to be used more widely, for instance it'll affect the default options used by: perf annotate --stdio2 Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jin Yao Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-0nsz0dm0akdbo30vgja2a10e@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf top: Fix top.call-graph config option reading

2018-03-16T16:56:04Z

When trying to add the "call-graph" variable for top into the .perfconfig file, like: [top] call-graph = fp I that perf_top_config() do not parse this variable. Fix it by calling perf_default_config() when the top.call-graph variable is set.

perf mmap: Simplify perf_mmap__read_init()

It isn't necessary to pass the 'start', 'end' and 'overwrite' arguments to perf_mmap__read_init(). The data is stored in the struct perf_mmap. Discard the parameters.

perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels

2018-02-26T19:04:08Z

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be observed in 'perf top': ┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐ │fall back to non-overwrite mode│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └───────────────────────────────┘ The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode"). For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top' will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close. The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug message which is printed when running with -vv.

The latency of perf_top__mmap_read() should be lower than refresh time. If not, give some hints to reduce the latency.

perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode

2018-02-15T12:56:54Z

perf_top__mmap_read() has a severe performance issue in the Knights Landing/Mill platform, when monitoring heavy load systems. It costs several minutes to finish, which is unacceptable. Currently, 'perf top' uses the non overwrite mode. For non overwrite mode, it tries to read everything in the ringbuffer and doesn't pause it. Once there are lots of samples delivered persistently, the processing time could be very long. Also, the latest samples could be lost when the ringbuffer is full. For overwrite mode, it takes a snapshot for the system by pausing the ringbuffer, which could significantly reduce the processing time. Also, the overwrite mode always keep the latest samples. Considering the real time requirement for 'perf top', the overwrite mode is more suitable for it. Actually, 'perf top' was overwrite mode. It is changed to non overwrite mode since commit 93fc64f14472 ("perf top: Switch to non overwrite mode"). It's better to change it back to overwrite mode by default. For the kernel which doesn't support overwrite mode, it will fall back to non overwrite mode. There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot and can be tolerated. For overwrite mode, unconditionally wait 100 ms before each snapshot. It also reduces the overhead caused by pausing ringbuffer, especially on light load system.
