perf tools: Make perf aware of tracefs

2015-02-11T15:37:08Z

As tracefs may be mounted instead of debugfs to get to the event directories, have perf know about tracefs, and use that file system over debugfs if it is present.

perf callchain: Move callchain_param to util object in to fix python test

2014-10-03T12:39:48Z

In following commit we changed the location of callchains data: 72a128aa083a7f4cc4f800718aaae05d9c698e26 perf tools: Move callchain config from record_opts to callchain_param Now all callchains stuff stays in callchain_param struct, which adds its dependency for evsel.c object and breaks python perf.so usage (unresolved callchain_param). Moving callchain_param into callchain.c and adding it into python-ext-sources unleash just another dependency hell, so I ended up adding callchain_param into util.c for now.

perf tools: Show better error message in case we fail to open counters due to EBUSY error

2014-08-12T15:03:02Z

Showing better error message in case we fail to open counters due to the EBUSY error. If we detect oprofile daemon process running, we now display following message for EBUSY error: $ perf record ls Error: The PMU counters are busy/taken by another profiler. We found oprofile daemon running, please stop it and try again. In case oprofiled was not detected the current error message stays: $ perf record ls Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 16 (Device or resource busy) for event (cycles). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? Also changing PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC detection code not to display error in case of EBUSY error, as it currently does: $ perf record ls Error: perf_event_open(..., PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC) failed with unexpected error 16 (Device or resource busy) perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 16 (Device or resource busy) The PMU counters are busy/taken by another profiler. We found oprofile daemon running, please stop it and try again.
