perf mmap: Simplify perf_mmap__read_init()

2018-03-08T13:05:53Z

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 test: Switch to new perf_mmap__read_event() interface for bpf

2018-03-05T13:47:54Z

The perf test 'bpf' still use the legacy interface. No functional change. Committer notes: Tested with: # perf test bpf 39: BPF filter : 39.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok 39.2: BPF pinning : Ok 39.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok 39.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok # Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1519945751-37786-4-git-send-email-kan.liang@linux.intel.com [ Changed bool parameters from 0 to 'false', as per Jiri comment ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Remove fcntl.h from evlist.h

2018-01-25T09:37:30Z

Not needed there, fixup the places where it is needed and was getting only by luck via evlist.h. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-yxjpetn64z8vjuguu84gr6x6@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test bpf: Hook on epoll_pwait()

2018-01-08T14:11:57Z

The 'perf test bpf' was hooking a eBPF program on the SyS_epoll_wait() kernel function, that was what the epoll_wait() glibc function ended up calling, but since at least glibc 2.26, the one that comes with, for instance, Fedora 27, glibc ends up calling SyS_epoll_pwait() when epoll_wait() is used, causing this 'perf test' entry to fail. So switch to using epoll_pwait() and hook the eBPF program to the SyS_epoll_pwait() kernel function to make it work on a wider range of glibc and kernel versions.

perf test bpf: Use designated struct field initializers

2018-01-08T14:11:56Z

To follow standard practice in the kernel sources, documenting the initialization better and helping quickly finding the value for some field in a struct with many entries.

perf test bpf: Improve message about expected samples

2018-01-08T14:11:56Z

When failing on one of the BPF tests we were just stating: BPF filter result incorrect Add some more info to help figuring out the problem: BPF filter result incorrect, expected 56, got 0 samples This came out while investigating this failure, first seen after updating the kernel to the 4.15.0-rc6 tag: [root@jouet ~]# perf test bpf 39: BPF filter : 39.1: Basic BPF filtering : FAILED! 39.2: BPF pinning : Skip 39.3: BPF prologue generation: Skip 39.4: BPF relocation checker : Skip [root@jouet ~]# Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-403npu7daupv6b2bmxliv5pk@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Remove 'overwrite' parameter from perf_evlist__mmap

Now all perf_evlist__mmap's users doesn't set 'overwrite'. Remove it from arguments list. Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171203020044.81680-2-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf events parse: Rename parse_events_parse arguments

2017-08-17T19:39:15Z

Calling them just "data" is too vague, call it 'perf_state', to make it clearer, for instance, when looking at patch hunks.

perf events parse: Rename parsing state struct to clearer name

2017-08-17T19:39:15Z

Rename it from 'parse_events_evlist' to 'parse_events_state' to better state that this is parsing state that has to be passed around.
