perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__new_dummy constructor

2018-06-16T21:21:40Z

commit 5bae0250237f7a5ec4355f9920701de247b8db91 upstream. For case where all we need is an evlist with just an "dummy" evsel, like in some 'perf test' entries.

perf stat: Fix memory corruption of xyarray when cpumask is used

2014-01-20T19:19:09Z

This patch fixes a memory corruption problem with the xyarray when the evsel fds get closed at the end of the run_perf_stat() call. It could be triggered with: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-cores/ ls When cpumask are used by events (.e.g, RAPL or uncores) then the evsel fds are allocated based on the actual number of CPUs monitored. That number can be smaller than the total number of CPUs on the system. The problem arises at the end by perf stat closes the fds twice. When fds are closed, their entry in the xyarray are set to -1. The first close() on the evsel is made from __run_perf_stat() and it uses the actual number of CPUS for the event which is how the xyarray was allocated for. The second is from perf_evlist_close() but that one is on the total number of CPUs in the system, so it assume the xyarray was allocated to cover it. However it was not, and some writes corrupt memory. The fix is in perf_evlist_close() is to first try with the evsel->cpus if present, if not use the evlist->cpus. That fixes the problem.

perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends

2014-01-13T13:06:25Z

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact. Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__', as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this case.

perf evlist: Auto unmap on destructor

2014-01-13T13:06:22Z

Removing further boilerplate after making sure perf_evlist__munmap can be called multiple times for the same evlist.

perf evlist: Close fds on destructor

2014-01-13T13:06:22Z

Since it is safe to call perf_evlist__close() multiple times, autoclose it and remove the calls to the close from existing tools, reducing the tooling boilerplate.

perf evlist: Move destruction of maps to evlist destructor

2014-01-13T13:06:21Z

Instead of requiring tools to do an extra destructor call just before calling perf_evlist__delete.

perf evlist: Move the SIGUSR1 error reporting logic to prepare_workload

2014-01-13T13:06:21Z

So that we have the boilerplate in the preparation method, instead of open coded in tools wanting the reporting when the exec fails.

perf evlist: Send the errno in the signal when workload fails

2014-01-13T13:06:21Z

When a tool uses perf_evlist__start_workload and the supplied workload fails (e.g.: its binary wasn't found), perror was being used to print the error reason. This is undesirable, as the caller may be a GUI, when it wants to have total control of the error reporting process. So move to using sigaction(SA_SIGINFO) + siginfo_t->sa_value->sival_int to communicate to the caller the errno and let it print it using the UI of its choosing.

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00Z

For the frequent idiom of: free(ptr); ptr = NULL; Make it expect a pointer to the pointer being freed, so that it becomes clear at first sight that the variable being freed is being modified.
