perf tools: Introduce tools/lib/lk library

2013-03-15T16:06:00Z

This introduces the tools/lib/lk library, that will gradually have the routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can be shared. Start by carving out debugfs routines for general use.

perf tools: remove sscanf extension %as

2012-09-24T14:49:31Z

perf uses sscanf extension %as to read and allocate a string in the same step. This is a non-standard extension only present in new versions of glibc. Replacing the use of sscanf and %as with strtok_r calls in order to parse a given string into its components. This is needed in Android since bionic does not support %as extension for sscanf.

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 probe: Make a copy of exec path for passing to basename

2012-09-08T20:15:04Z

The basename function may modify the string passed to it, so the string should not be marked const.

perf uprobes: Remove unnecessary check before strlist__delete

2012-05-31T15:08:49Z

Since strlist__delete() itself checks, the additional check before calling strlist__delete() is redundant. No Functional change.

perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length without DWARF info too

2012-02-29T21:29:46Z

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location. (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of do_fork is ~904). My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.
