perf annotate TUI browser: Do not use member from variable within its own initialization

2019-07-26T07:12:27Z

[ Upstream commit da2019633f0b5c105ce658aada333422d8cb28fe ] Some compilers will complain when using a member of a struct to initialize another member, in the same struct initialization. For instance: debian:8 Debian clang version 3.5.0-10 (tags/RELEASE_350/final) (based on LLVM 3.5.0) oraclelinux:7 clang version 3.4.2 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot2-final) Produce: ui/browsers/annotate.c:104:12: error: variable 'ops' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Werror,-Wuninitialized] (!ops.current_entry || ^~~ 1 error generated. So use an extra variable, initialized just before that struct, to have the value used in the expressions used to init two of the struct members.

perf tools report: Add custom scripts to script menu

2019-03-11T19:33:20Z

Add a way to define custom scripts through ~/.perfconfig, which are then added to the scripts menu. The scripts get the same arguments as 'perf script', in particular -i, --cpu, --tid.

perf ui browser: Fix ui popup argv browser for many entries

2019-03-11T19:33:20Z

Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit the display function correctly. Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser. Committer testing: 1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines 2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options in the menu 3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash: # perf report --samples 1 perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x5a514a] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x385bf)[0x7f27281b55bf] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x161a67)[0x7f27282dea67] /lib64/libslang.so.2(SLsmg_write_wrapped_string+0x82)[0x7f272874a0b2] perf(ui_browser__argv_refresh+0x77)[0x5939a7] perf[0x5924cc] perf(ui_browser__run+0x39)[0x593449] perf(ui__popup_menu+0x83)[0x5a5263] perf[0x59f421] perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x3a0)[0x5a3780] perf(cmd_report+0x2746)[0x447136] perf[0x4a95fe] perf(main+0x61c)[0x42dc6c] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf2)[0x7f27281a1412] perf(_start+0x2d)[0x42de9d] # After applying this patch no crash takes place in such situation.

perf report: Implement browsing of individual samples

2019-03-11T19:33:19Z

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually. It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis. Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems. Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry. Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples. Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample. It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo. Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.

perf report: Support builtin perf script in scripts menu

2019-03-11T19:33:19Z

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts. Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too. - Normal perf script - perf script with assembler (needs xed installed) - perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo) - perf script with custom arguments Then we automatically select the right options to display the information in the perf.data file. For example with -b display branch contexts. It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence in advance. perf script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.

perf report: Support running scripts for current time range

2019-03-11T19:33:19Z

When using the time sort key, add new context menus to run scripts for only the currently selected time range. Compute the correct range for the selection add pass it as the --time option to perf script.

perf report: Use less for scripts output

2019-03-11T17:03:43Z

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size, no search or save function, slow, and various other issues. Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead. This won't work in GTK mode, but GTK doesn't support these context menus anyways. If that is ever done could use an terminal for the output.

perf tools: Rename build libperf to perf
