perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masks

2015-10-07T13:20:08Z

perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up. Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that function. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Naveen N.

perf tools: Fix link time error with sample_reg_masks on non x86

2015-09-01T16:04:41Z

This patch makes perf compile on non x86 platforms by defining a weak symbol for sample_reg_masks[] in util/perf_regs.c. The patch also moves the REG() and REG_END() macros into the util/per_regs.h header file. The macros are renamed to SMPL_REG/SMPL_REG_END to avoid clashes with other header files.

perf tools: Cache register accesses for unwind processing

2014-06-12T14:53:19Z

Caching registers value into an array. Got about 4% speed up of perf_reg_value function for report command processing dwarf unwind stacks. Output from report over 1.5 GB data with DWARF unwind stacks: (TODO fix perf diff) current code: 5.84% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value change: 1.94% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value And little bit of overall speed up: (perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles,instructions}:u' ...) current code: 310,298,611,754 cycles ( +- 0.33% ) 439,669,689,341 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 188.656753166 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.82% ) change: 291,315,329,878 cycles ( +- 0.22% ) 391,763,485,304 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 180.742249687 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.64% ) Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jean Pihet Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401892622-30848-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf callchain: Separate perf_reg_value function in perf_regs object

2014-02-18T12:34:49Z

Making perf_reg_value function global (formely reg_value), because it's going to be used globaly across all code providing the dwarf post unwind feature. Changing its prototype to be generic: -int reg_value(unw_word_t *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id) +int perf_reg_value(u64 *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id); Changing the valp type from libunwind specific 'unw_word_t' to u64.
