perf tools: Replace mempcpy with memcpy

2012-09-05T22:35:21Z

mempcpy is not supported by bionic in Android and will lead to compilation errors. Replacing mempcpy with memcpy so it will work in Android.

perf target: Fix check on buffer size

2012-08-01T21:42:54Z

It was a mistake just replace assert to BUG_ON since its condition should be negated. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Kirill A.

perf tools: use XSI-complaint version of strerror_r() instead of GNU-specific

2012-07-25T14:46:04Z

Perf uses GNU-specific version of strerror_r(). The GNU-specific strerror_r() returns a pointer to a string containing the error message. This may be either a pointer to a string that the function stores in buf, or a pointer to some (immutable) static string (in which case buf is unused). In glibc-2.16 GNU version was marked with attribute warn_unused_result. It triggers few warnings in perf: util/target.c: In function ‘perf_target__strerror’: util/target.c:114:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] ui/browsers/hists.c: In function ‘hist_browser__dump’: ui/browsers/hists.c:981:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] They are bugs. Let's fix strerror_r() usage. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

perf tools: Introduce perf_target__strerror()

2012-05-07T20:30:21Z

The perf_target__strerror() sets @buf to a string that describes the (perf_target-specific) error condition that is passed via @errnum. This is similar to strerror_r() and does same thing if @errnum has a standard errno value.

perf target: Introduce perf_target__parse_uid()

Add and use the modern perf_target__parse_uid() and get rid of the old parse_target_uid().

perf target: Introduce perf_target_errno

2012-05-07T19:46:35Z

The perf_target_errno enumerations are used to indicate specific error cases on perf target operations. It'd help libperf being a more generic library.

perf target: Split out perf_target handling code

For further work on perf_target, it'd be better off splitting the code into a separate file.
