perf script: Show text poke address symbol

2020-07-10T11:39:14Z

It is generally more useful to show the symbol with an address. In this case, the print function requires the 'machine' which means changing callers to provide it as a parameter. It is optional because most events do not need it and the callers that matter can provide it. Committer notes: Made 'union perf_event' continue to be the first parameter to the perf_event__fprintf() and perf_event__fprintf_text_poke() events.

perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE

2020-07-10T11:20:01Z

Add processing for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events. When a text poke event is processed, then the kernel dso data cache is updated with the poked bytes.

perf tools: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-28T13:03:27Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

perf tools: Basic support for CGROUP event

2020-04-03T12:37:55Z

Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking. Each cgroup can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too. The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack

2020-03-10T00:42:53Z

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it. However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be wrong, since the output format is different with new struct branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return corresponding pointer of entries[0]. To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt. Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well. Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack. Committer notes: Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf, eventually. Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header. Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build on arm64.

perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions

2019-11-21T13:54:20Z

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into line with the kernel version. New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the desired size of the sample. Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e. PERF_SAMPLE_AUX. Committer notes: I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch in this series we would have: # perf test -v parsing 26: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17018 sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: FAILED! # With the two paches combined: # perf test parsing 26: Sample parsing : Ok # Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Move event synthesizing routines to separate header

2019-09-20T12:19:22Z

Those are the only routines using the perf_event__handler_t typedef and are all related, so move to a separate header to reduce the header dependency tree, lots of places were getting event.h and even stdio.h, limits.h indirectly, so fix those as well.

perf stat: Move perf_stat_synthesize_config() to event.h

2019-09-20T12:19:21Z

Together with the other synthsizers, and rename it to perf_event__synthesize_stat_events(). This allows us to stop including event.h in util/stat.h.
