perf callchains: Use thread->mg->machine

2014-10-29T12:32:46Z

The unwind__get_entries() already receives the thread parameter, from where it can obtain the matching machine structure, shorten the signature.

perf callchain: Use global caching provided by libunwind

2014-10-29T12:25:22Z

The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and per-thread. As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd sufficient to use global caching. This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file. Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.

perf callchain: Create an address space per thread

2014-10-15T20:38:23Z

The unw_addr_space_t in libunwind represents an address space to be used for stack unwinding. It doesn't need to be create/destory everytime to unwind callchain (as in get_entries) and can have a same lifetime as thread (unless exec called). So move the address space construction/destruction logic to the thread lifetime handling functions. This is a preparation to enable caching in the unwind library. Note that it saves unw_addr_space_t object using thread__set_priv(). It seems currently only used by perf trace and perf kvm stat commands which don't use callchain.

tools: Consolidate types.h

2014-05-01T19:22:39Z

Combine all definitions into a common tools/include/linux/types.h and kill the wild growth elsewhere. Move DECLARE_BITMAP to its proper bitmap.h header.

perf callchain: Introduce HAVE_DWARF_UNWIND_SUPPORT macro

2014-02-18T12:34:48Z

Introducing global macro HAVE_DWARF_UNWIND_SUPPORT to indicate we have dwarf unwind support. Any library providing the dwarf post unwind support will enable this macro.

perf callchain: Rename unwind__arch_reg_id into libunwind__arch_reg_id

perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump

2014-02-18T12:34:48Z

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information compact. The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more into the struct regs_dump.

perf symbols: Limit max callchain using max_stack on DWARF unwinding too

2013-11-14T19:00:23Z

It was affecting only frame-pointer (fp) based callchain processing. Usage example: perf top --call-graph dwarf,1024 --max-stack 2 Works for any tool that does callchain resolving and provides a --max-stack option.

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.
