perf tools: Convert to LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT

2012-10-02T20:56:01Z

For building perf without libunwind, we can set NO_LIBUNWIND=1 as a argument of make. It then defines NO_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT macro for C code to do the proper handling. However it usually used in a negative semantics - e.g. #ifndef - so we saw double negations which can be misleading. Convert it to a positive form to make it more readable. Also change NO_PERF_REGS macro to HAVE_PERF_REGS for the same reason.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

perf tools: Add interface to arch registers sets

2012-08-10T19:32:59Z

Adding header files to access unified API for arch registers. util/perf_regs.h - global perf_reg declarations arch/x86/include/perf_regs.h - x86 arch specific Adding perf_reg_name function to obtain register name based on the reg ID value, and PERF_REGS_MASK macro with mask definition of all current arch registers (will be used in unwind patches).
