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 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: 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 tools: Rename 'perf_record_opts' to 'record_opts

2013-12-19T17:43:45Z

Reduce typing, functions use class__method convention, so unlikely to clash with other libraries. This actually was discussed in the "Link:" referenced message below.

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__to_front()

2013-12-13T13:30:21Z

Add a function to move a selected event to the front of the list. This is needed because it is not possible to use the PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT IOCTL from an Instruction Tracing event to a non-Instruction Tracing event. Thus the Instruction Tracing event must come first.

perf evlist: Add can_select_event() method

2013-12-13T13:30:20Z

Add a function to determine whether an event can be selected. This function is needed to allow a tool to automatically select additional events, but only if they are available.

perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03Z

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

tools/perf: Add required memory barriers

2013-11-06T11:34:26Z

To match patch bf378d341e48 ("perf: Fix perf ring buffer memory ordering") change userspace to also adhere to the ordering outlined. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Michael Neuling Cc: "Paul E.

perf tools: Finish the removal of 'self' arguments

2013-11-05T18:32:36Z

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more sensibly.
