perf tools: Extract perf-specific stuff from debugfs.c

2013-03-15T16:06:01Z

Move them to util.c and simplify code a bit. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1361374353-30385-6-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Move get_term_dimensions from top to util.c

2013-01-24T19:40:34Z

It is used by util/help.c so it should be a lib function and included in libperf.a. Code move only. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1358185681-90926-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure

2013-01-24T19:40:09Z

The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call, checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept calls and do the checking. But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are linked on the python binding, breaking it: # perf test -v 15 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled ---- end ---- Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only linked in the python binding. Now 'perf test' is happy again: # perf test 15 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok # Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-0rsca2kn44b38rgdpr3tz6n5@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Have the page size value available for all tools

2012-10-06T19:33:14Z

Its such a common need that we might as well have a global with that value.

perf tools: Convert to BACKTRACE_SUPPORT

2012-10-02T21:36:45Z

For building perf without stack backtrace debug, we can set NO_BACKTRACE=1 as a argument of make. It then defines NO_BACKTRACE 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 and add _SUPPORT suffix for consistency.

perf tools: add NO_BACKTRACE for application self-debugging

2012-09-08T01:12:30Z

perf has support for self-debugging by defining dump_stack function. This function uses backtrace and backtrace_symbols functions defined as GNU extensions. In Android, bionic does not offer support for these functions and compilation will fail with the following error: target C: libperf <= tools/perf/util/util.c tools/perf/util/util.c:4:22: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Add a compile-time option (NO_BACKTRACE) to enable or disable self-debugging functionality in perf. This can also help in debugging since it offers the possibility to turn on/off printing the backtrace.

perf tools: Add dump_stack function

2012-08-08T02:32:05Z

To help in debugging the tools, provides functionality roughly similar to the function with the same name in the kernel. Copied from glibc backtrace function man page.

perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size

2012-02-14T01:35:04Z

The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized in all cases because it captures the ABI version. This patch moves the initialization of the field from the perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper location in the event_attr_init().
