perf evlist: Do not pass struct record_opts to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()

2013-03-15T16:06:02Z

Since it's only used for checking ->pipe_output, we can pass the result directly. Now the perf_evlist__prepare_workload() don't have a dependency of struct perf_record_opts, it can be called from other places like perf stat.

perf evlist: Pass struct perf_target to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()

2013-03-15T16:06:02Z

It's a preparation step of removing @opts arg from the function so that it can be used more widely.

perf evlist: Remove cpus and threads arguments from perf_evlist__new()

2013-03-15T16:06:01Z

It's almost always used with NULL for both arguments. Get rid of the arguments from the signature and use perf_evlist__set_maps() if needed.

perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps

2013-02-06T21:09:26Z

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where the event type is off the charts: (gdb) bt \#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225 \#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520, file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884 \#2 0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555 \#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645 This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once -- before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to be sane at that time. There seem to be 2 causes: 1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the ordered samples queue. 2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries. event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer boundary. This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer fails. The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a future patch.

perf tools: Keep group information

2013-01-31T16:07:43Z

Add a few of group-related field in struct perf_{evlist,evsel} so that the group information in a evlist can be known easily. It only counts groups which have more than 1 members since leader-only groups are treated as non-group events.

perf evlist: Set the leader in the perf_evlist__config method

2012-12-11T20:19:01Z

Since we need to ensure the leader is set before configuring the evsel perf_event_attrs. Reducing the boilerplate needed by tools, helping, for instance, 'perf trace', that wasn't setting the leader.

perf evlist: Remove some unused methods

2012-10-03T14:52:07Z

Those were introduced in a previous attempt at implementing 'trace', but are not being used anywhere, ditch them.
