perf target: Move the checking of which map function to call into function.

2013-12-04T16:46:37Z

Check for cpu_map__dummy_new() or cpu_map__new() to be called in perf_evlist__create_maps() is more complicated. This patch moves the checking work into target.h, combining two conditions and making perf_evlist__create_maps() more readable.

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 record: Add an option to force per-cpu mmaps

2013-11-14T19:10:27Z

By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created. Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps. Further comments by peterz: So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one buffer? As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its own buffer.

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 target: Add uses_mmap field

2012-05-17T15:32:54Z

If perf doesn't mmap on event (like perf stat), it should not create per-task-per-cpu events. So just use a dummy cpu map to create a per-task event for this case.

perf target: Rename functions to avoid double negation

2012-05-16T15:09:34Z

Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with negation. The names are came out from David Ahern. It is intended to be a mechanical substitution without any functional change. The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right name and it is hardly used with negation.

perf target: Consolidate target task/cpu checking

2012-05-07T20:52:05Z

There are places that check whether target task/cpu is given or not and some of them didn't check newly introduced uid or cpu list. Add and use three of helper functions to treat them properly.

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.

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.
