perf top: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan

2013-10-21T20:36:25Z

When the callgraph function is enabled (-G), it may take a long time to scan all the stack data and merge them accordingly. This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-top to limit the depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for perf-top to finish its processing. It reduces the amount of information provided to the user in exchange for faster speed.

perf top: Add --percent-limit option

The --percent-limit option is for not showing small overhead entries in the output.

perf top: Use sort__has_sym

2013-05-28T13:23:56Z

perf top had a similar variable sort_has_symbols for the same purpose.

perf evsel: Do missing feature fallbacks in just one place

2013-01-24T19:40:08Z

Instead of doing it in stat, top, record or any other tool that opens event descriptors.

perf top: Use perf_evlist__config()

2012-12-11T20:22:39Z

Using struct perf_record_opts to specify how to configure the evsel perf_event_attrs. This gets top closer to record in the way it sets up evsels, with the aim of sharing more and more to the point that both will be a single utility. In this direction top now uses the same callchain option parsing as record and that brings DWARF callchains to top, something that was already available for record.

perf tools: fix missing winsize definition

2012-09-08T01:07:32Z

In Android, struct winsize is not defined in the headers already included in help.c. This leads to a compile error. Including termios.h fixes the compilation error since it defines struct winsize.

perf tools: Invert the sample_id_all logic

2012-02-14T16:18:57Z

Instead of requiring that users of perf_record_opts set .sample_id_all_avail to true, just invert the logic, using .sample_id_all_missing, that doesn't need to be explicitely initialized since gcc will zero members ommitted in a struct initialization. Just like the newly introduced .exclude_{guest,host} feature test.

perf tools: Handle kernels that don't support attr.exclude_{guest,host}

2012-02-14T16:05:30Z

Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that that feature is not available. If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not handled and dropped, see 0c09571.
