perf config: Rename to HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS_SUPPORT

2018-04-02T16:50:24Z

In Makefile.config, to make all libraries flags have _SUPPORT suffix, rename HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS to HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS_SUPPORT Signed-off-by: Jin Yao Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jin Yao Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1522402036-22915-4-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

2017-04-19T16:01:51Z

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause a complete rebuild of the tools.

perf tools: Move extra string util functions to util/string2.h

2017-04-19T16:01:51Z

Moving them from util.h, where they don't belong. Since libc already have string.h, name it slightly differently, as string2.h.

perf tools: Including missing inttypes.h header

perf probe: Match linkage name with mangled name

2016-09-29T14:17:08Z

Match linkage name with mangled name if exists. The linkage_name is used for storing mangled name of the object. Thus, this allows 'perf probe' to find appropriate probe point from mangled symbol as below. E.g. without this fix: ---- $ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 \ -D _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv Probe point '_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv' not found. Error: Failed to add events. ---- With this fix, perf probe can find the correct one. ---- $ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 \ -D _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv p:probe_libstdc/_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca60 ---- Committer notes: After the fix, setting it for real (no -D/--definition, that amounts to a --dry-run): # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv Added new event: probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv (on _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv -aR sleep 1 # perf probe -l probe_libstdc:* probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22) # Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147464493162.29804.16715053505069382443.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Move dwarf specific functions to dwarf-aux.c

2016-09-01T15:42:26Z

Move generic dwarf related functions from util/probe-finder.c to util/dwarf-aux.c. Functions name and their prototype are also changed accordingly. No functionality changes.

perf probe: Check the return value of strbuf APIs

2016-05-10T14:53:34Z

Check the return value of strbuf APIs in perf-probe related code, so that it can handle errors in strbuf. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160510054707.6158.69861.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Check if dwarf_getlocations() is available

2016-04-06T13:44:28Z

If not, tell the user that: config/Makefile:273: Old libdw.h, finding variables at given 'perf probe' point will not work, install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.157 And return -ENOTSUPP in die_get_var_range(), failing features that need it, like the one pointed out above. This fixes the build on older systems, such as Ubuntu 12.04.5.

perf probe: No need to use formatting strbuf method

2016-03-23T19:53:05Z

We have addch() for chars, add() for fixed size data, and addstr() for variable length strings, use them.
