perf report: Fix NULL pointer dereference in hists__fprintf_nr_sample_events()

2020-06-30T00:07:54Z

[ Upstream commit 11b6e5482e178055ec1f2444b55f2518713809d1 ] The 'evname' variable can be NULL, as it is checked a few lines back, check it before using.

perf report: Add warning when libunwind not compiled in

2020-01-04T12:34:13Z

[ Upstream commit 800d3f561659b5436f8c57e7c26dd1f6928b5615 ] We received a user report that call-graph DWARF mode was enabled in 'perf record' but 'perf report' didn't unwind the callstack correctly. The reason was, libunwind was not compiled in. We can use 'perf -vv' to check the compiled libraries but it would be valuable to report a warning to user directly (especially valuable for a perf newbie). The warning is: Warning: Please install libunwind development packages during the perf build. Both TUI and stdio are supported.

perf symbols: Allow forcing reading of non-root owned files by root

2015-11-12T21:58:18Z

When the root user tries to read a file owned by some other user we get: # ls -la perf.data -rw-------. 1 acme acme 20032 Nov 12 15:50 perf.data # perf report File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf report -f | grep -v ^# | head -2 30.96% ls [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_set_pte 28.24% ls libc-2.20.so [.] intel_check_word # That wasn't happening when the symbol code tried to read a JIT map, where the same check was done but no forcing was possible, fix it.

perf report: Rename to --show-cpu-utilization

2015-10-26T17:06:04Z

So that it can be more consistent with other --show-* options. The old name (--showcpuutilization) is provided only for compatibility.

perf tools: Improve call graph documents and help messages

2015-10-22T19:23:19Z

The --call-graph option is complex so we should provide better guide for users. Also change help message to be consistent with config option names. Now perf top will show help like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [] --call-graph setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace): record_mode: call graph recording mode (fp|dwarf|lbr) record_size: if record_mode is 'dwarf', max size of stack recording () default: 8192 (bytes) print_type: call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none) threshold: minimum call graph inclusion threshold () print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry () order: call graph order (caller|callee) sort_key: call graph sort key (function|address) branch: include last branch info to call graph (branch) Default: fp,graph,0.5,caller,function Requested-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Chandler Carruth Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445524112-5201-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Defaults to 'caller' callchain order only if --children is enabled

2015-10-22T18:40:11Z

The caller callchain order is useful with --children option since it can show 'overview' style output, but other commands which don't use --children feature like 'perf script' or even 'perf report/top' without --children are better to keep callee order.
