perf target: str_error_r() always returns the buffer it receives

2016-07-29T14:54:35Z

So no need for checking if it uses the strerror_r() GNU variant error reporting mechanism, i.e. if it returns a pointer to a immutable string internal to glibc.

perf tools: Remove needless includes from cache.h

2016-07-12T18:19:58Z

The cache.h header doesn't use any of the definitions in some of the headers it includes, ditch them and fix the fallout, where files were getting stuff they needed just because they were including it, sometimes not using what it really exports at all.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47Z

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else. But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is used. So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.

perf target: Simplify handling of strerror_r return

2015-03-24T15:08:30Z

To deal with forwarding the strerror_r (GNU) return we need to check if the returned value is the buffer we passed or maybe some constant (unknown error), simplify that action by using scnprintf, that will do all the buflen size checks, trimming if needed.

perf record: Make per-cpu mmaps the default.

2013-11-27T17:58:36Z

This affects the -p, -t and -u options that previously defaulted to per-thread mmaps. Consequently add an option to select per-thread mmaps to support the old behaviour. Note that per-thread can be used with a workload-only (i.e. none of -p, -t, -u, -a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread mmap with no inheritance.

perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03Z

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

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.

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.
