perf config: Export the perf_config_from_file() function

2020-10-13T20:03:19Z

We'll use it to ask for extra config files to be loaded, profile like stuff that will be used first to make 'perf trace' mimic 'strace' output via a 'perf strace' command that just sets up 'perf trace' output. At some point it'll be used for regression tests, where we'll run some simple commands like: perf strace ls > perf-strace.output strace ls > strace.output And then do some mutable syscall arg aware diff like tool to deal with arguments for things like mmap, that change at each execution, to be first ignored and then properly tracked when used accoss multiple syscalls.

perf config: Add stat.big-num support

2020-05-28T13:03:27Z

Add support for new "stat.big-num" boolean option. This allows a user to set a default for "--no-big-num" for "perf stat" commands. -- $ perf config stat.big-num $ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 778,849 cycles [...] $ perf config stat.big-num=false $ perf config stat.big-num stat.big-num=false $ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 769622 cycles [...] -- There is an interaction with "--field-separator" that must be accommodated, such that specifying "--big-num --field-separator={x}" still reports an invalid combination of options. Documentation for perf-config and perf-stat updated.

perf config: Introduce perf_config_u8()

2020-02-27T13:44:54Z

Introduce perf_config_u8() utility function to convert char * input into u8 destination. We will utilize it in followup patch.

perf auxtrace: Uninline functions that touch perf_session

2019-09-01T01:24:10Z

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h, which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts of things via that include, fix them all.

perf event: Remove needless include directives from event.h

2019-09-01T01:19:24Z

bpf.h and build-id.h are not needed at all in event.h, remove them. And fixup the fallout of files that were getting needed stuff from this now pruned include.

perf tools: Remove debug.h from header files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32Z

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

2019-06-26T00:02:47Z

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've copied. This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(), etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/ and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements are made to the original code. Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf config: Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair

2019-06-10T18:50:01Z

So perf_config() uses: int ret = 0; perf_config_set__for_each_entry(config_set, section, item) { ... ret = fn(); if (ret < 0) break; } return ret; Expecting that that break will imediatelly go to function exit to return that error value (ret). The problem is that perf_config_set__for_each_entry() expands into two nested for() loops, one traversing the sections in a config and the second the items in each of those sections, so we have to change that 'break' to a goto label right before that final 'return ret'. With that, for instance 'perf trace' now correctly bails out when a event that is requested to be added via its 'trace.add_events' ~/.perfconfig entry gets rejected by the kernel BPF verifier: # perf trace ls event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o' \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Error: wrong config key-value pair trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o # While before it would continue and explode later, when trying to find maps that would have been in place had that augmented_raw_syscalls.o precompiled BPF proggie been accepted by the, humm, bast... rigorous kernel BPF verifier 8-) Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Mathieu Poirier Cc: Mike Leach Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Song Liu Cc: Suzuki Poulouse Cc: Taeung Song Cc: Yonghong Song Fixes: 8a0a9c7e9146 ("perf config: Introduce new init() and exit()") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-qvqxfk9d0rn1l7lcntwiezrr@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
