perf tools: Fix broken build by defining _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile

2012-01-31T00:19:54Z

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build because commit 1aed2671738785e8f5aea663a6fda91aa7ef59b5 (perf kvm: Do guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken. There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering, but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it. The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE, so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler. All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS are removed. This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

perf kvm: Do guest-only counting by default

2012-01-06T17:47:37Z

Make use of exclude_guest and exlude_host in perf-kvm to do only guest-only counting by default.

perf: builtin-record: Document and check that mmap_pages must be a power of two.

Now that we automatically point users at it, let's provide them some guidance so that they hopefully don't just get mysterious EINVAL's from the kernel.

perf probe: Move strtailcmp to string.c

2011-07-15T20:00:47Z

Since strtailcmp() is enough generic, it should be defined in string.c.

perf tools: Makefile: Remove platform-specific cruft

2011-02-18T09:42:07Z

While it makes sense that this tool could be used on other platforms at least to parse data, there doesn't appear to be any real support for such usage.

perf util: Move do_read from session to util

Not really something to be exported from session.c. Rename it to 'readn' as others did in the past. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Tom Zanussi LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache

2010-06-17T13:20:44Z

There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images). A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file, simply do: [buildid] dir = /dev/null This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still generated in the perf.data file. Cc: David S.

perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dir

2010-06-05T12:34:04Z

This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

perf annotate: Add TUI interface

2010-05-22T14:25:40Z

When annotating multiple entries, for instance, when running simply as: $ perf annotate the right and left keys, as well as TAB can be used to cycle thru the multiple symbols being annotated. If one doesn't like TUI annotate, disable it by editing ~/.perfconfig and adding: [tui] annotate = off Just like it is possible for report.
