perf tools: Use just forward declarations for struct thread where possible

2017-04-24T16:43:35Z

Removing various instances of unnecessary includes, reducing the maze of header dependencies. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-hwu6eyuok9pc57alookyzmsf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove poll.h and wait.h from util.h

2017-04-24T16:43:34Z

Not needed in this header, added to the places that need poll(), wait() and a few other prototypes. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-i39c7b6xmo1vwd9wxp6fmkl0@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add signal.h to places using its definitions

2017-04-20T16:22:43Z

And remove it from util.h, disentangling it a bit more. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-2zg9s5nx90yde64j3g4z2uhk@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

2017-04-19T16:01:51Z

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause a complete rebuild of the tools.

perf/sdt/x86: Move OP parser to tools/perf/arch/x86/

2017-03-28T15:25:30Z

SDT marker argument is in N@OP format. N is the size of argument and OP is the actual assembly operand. OP is arch dependent component and hence it's parsing logic also should be placed under tools/perf/arch/.

perf/sdt/x86: Add renaming logic for (missing) 8 bit registers

2017-03-28T15:24:56Z

I found couple of events using al, bl, cl and dl registers for argument. These are not directly accepted by uprobe_events and thus needs to be mapped to ax, bx, cx and dx respectively. Few ex, /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x css_adapter_interrupt: 1@%bl css_chpid_add: 1@%cl 1@%sil 1@%dl dma_bdrv_io: 8@%rbx 8@%rbp -8@%r14 1@%al /usr/bin/postgres buffer__read__done: ... -1@-bash -1@%al buffer__read__start: ... -1@%al I don't find any sdt events using ah, bh,... registers. But I also don't see any reason to not use them, so there might be rare events using these registers, and if so, perf should have a renaming logic for them too.

perf sdt x86: Add renaming logic for rNN and other registers

2017-03-21T14:07:17Z

'perf probe' is failing for sdt markers whose arguments has rNN (with postfix b/w/d), %rsp, %esp, %sil etc. registers. Add renaming logic for these registers.

perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string

2017-03-21T13:59:01Z

An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format. As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format. Here are the results: $ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle $ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt $ perf script test_sdt ... 666.255678: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255686: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=1 arg1=2 test_sdt ... 666.255689: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=3 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255692: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=2 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255694: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=6 arg1=8 Signed-off-by: Alexis Berlemont Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Hemant Kumar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ravi Bangoria Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161214000732.1710-3-alexis.berlemont@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
