perf tools: Remove unused 'prefix' from builtin functions

2017-03-27T14:58:09Z

We got it from the git sources but never used it for anything, with the place where this would be somehow used remaining: static int run_builtin(struct cmd_struct *p, int argc, const char **argv) { prefix = NULL; if (p->option & RUN_SETUP) prefix = NULL; /* setup_perf_directory(); */ Ditch it.

perf probe: Return errno when not hitting any event

2017-03-21T13:45:02Z

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event, it returns errno, eg, -bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $? Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist. Error: Failed to delete events. 255 But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again, eg, -bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $? "xxx" does not hit any event. Error: Failed to delete events. 254 And it is more appropriate to return -ENOENT instead of -EPERM.

perf probe: Add option --symfs

2017-02-08T12:41:10Z

perf probe makes use of debug symbols, so add --symfs as the other commands have.

perf probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given

2016-09-01T15:42:22Z

Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if the command does not affect running kernel. perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change the running kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs. e.g. ----- $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14 Available variables at do_sys_open:14 @ char* filename int dfd int fd int flags struct filename* tmp struct open_flags op umode_t mode ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147222347320.5088.2582658035296667520.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given

2016-09-01T12:44:14Z

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and --vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line. This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel. E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel Error: Failed to add events. ---- with this fix, we can get the definition ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214228193.23638.12581984840822162131.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Show trace event definition

2016-09-01T12:44:13Z

Add --definition/-D option for showing the trace-event definition in stdout. This can be useful in debugging or combined with a shell script. e.g. ---- # perf probe --definition 'do_sys_open $params' p:probe/do_sys_open _text+2261728 dfd=%di:s32 filename=%si:u64 flags=%dx:s32 mode=%cx:u16 ---- Suggested-and-Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214226712.23638.2240534040014013658.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Make --list show only available cached events

2016-07-14T02:09:05Z

Make "perf probe --cache --list" show only available cached events by checking build-id validity. E.g. without this patch: ---- $ ./perf probe --cache --add oldevent=cmd_probe $ make #(to update ./perf) $ ./perf probe --cache --add newevent=cmd_probe $ ./perf probe --cache --list /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69 probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (c2e44d614e33e1 probe_perf:oldevent=cmd_probe ---- It shows both of old and new events but user can not use old one. With this; ---- $ ./perf probe --cache -l /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69 probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe ---- This shows only new events which are on the existing binary.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47Z

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else. But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is used. So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.
