perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14Z

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named libsubcmd.a. Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to 'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tools: Finalize subcmd independence

2015-12-17T17:27:10Z

For the files that will be moved to the subcmd library, remove all their perf-specific includes and duplicate any needed functionality.

perf tools: Provide subcmd configuration at runtime

2015-12-16T19:18:16Z

Create init functions for exec_cmd.c and pager.c. This allows their configuration to be specified at runtime so they can be split out into a separate library which can be used by other programs. Their configuration is stored in a shared subcmd_config struct.

perf tools: Remove check for unused PERF_PAGER_IN_USE

2015-12-14T15:30:18Z

PERF_PAGER_IN_USE doesn't seem to be used anywhere, so let's remove it. This will also make it easier to move pager.c into a separate library.

perf report: Fix some option handling on --stdio

2015-05-14T13:05:22Z

There's a bug that perf report sometimes ignore some options on --stdio output. This bug is triggered only if a related config variable is set. For example, let's assume we have a following config file. $ cat ~/.perfconfig [call-graph] print-type = graph [hist] percentage = absolute Then, following perf config will not honor some options. $ perf record -ag sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.199 MB perf.data (77 samples) ] $ perf report -g none --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # Samples: 77 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 25425383 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ....................... .............. # 16.34% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter cpu_startup_entry ... With '-g none' option, it should not show callchains, but it still shows callchains. However it works as expected on --tui output. Similarly, '--percentage relative' option is not work and still shows a absolute percentage values. Looking at the source, I found that those setting were overwritten by config variables when setup_pager() called. The setup_pager() is to start a pager process so that it can manage long lines of output on the stdio mode. But as it calls the perf_config() after parsing arguments, the settings were overwritten regardless of command line options. The reason it calls perf_config() is to find the 'pager_program' which might be set by a config variable, I guess. However current perf code does not provide the config variable for it, so it's just meaningless IMHO. Eliminating the call makes the option working as expected.

perf tools: Add cat as fallback pager

2014-05-21T09:48:33Z

This patch adds a fallback to cat for the pager. This is useful on environments, such as Android, where less does not exist. It is better to default to cat than to abort.

perf tools: Fix pager on minimal-install embedded systems

2012-05-30T18:10:39Z

Some Distributions may lack "less" package being included by default, e.g., Linaro nano rootfs. In those cases use the portable "pager" command instead of "less".

perf_counter tools: Remove dead code

2009-06-27T04:06:39Z

Vince Weaver reported that there's a handful of #ifdef __MINGW32__ sections in the code. Remove them as they are in essence dead code - as unlike upstream Git, the perf tool is unlikely to be ported to Windows.

perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/

2009-06-06T18:33:43Z

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory. Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
