perf annotate: Improve support for ARM

2016-11-25T13:38:56Z

By using arch->init() to set up some regular expressions to associate ins_ops to ARM instructions, ditching that old table that has instructions not present on ARM. Take advantage of having an arch->init() to hide more arm specific stuff from the common code, like the objdump details. The regular expressions comes from a patch written by Kim Phillips.

perf annotate: Add per arch instructions annotate handlers

2016-11-17T20:31:59Z

Another step in supporting cross annotation. The arch specific tables are put in: tools/perf/arch/$ARCH/annotation/instructions.c which, so far, just plug instructions to a bunch of parsers/formatters, but may have more as the need arises. This is an alternative implementation to a previous attempt made by Ravi Bangoria.

perf tools: Add coresight etm PMU record capabilities

2016-09-22T15:19:40Z

Coresight ETMs are IP blocks used to perform HW assisted tracing on a CPU core. This patch introduce the required auxiliary API functions allowing the perf core to interact with a tracer.

perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary

2016-09-01T15:41:09Z

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for the machine. Here is an example: ----- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params' p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16 ----- Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

perf unwind: Separate local/remote libunwind config

2016-06-07T15:08:52Z

CONFIG_LIBUNWIND/NO_LIBUNWIND are changed to CONFIG_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND/ NO_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND for retaining local unwind features. The new CONFIG_LIBUNWIND stands for either local or remote or both unwind are supported, and NO_LIBUNWIND means that neither local nor remote unwind is supported. LIBUNWIND_LIBS is eliminated in LDFLAGS if local libunwind is not supported.
