perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration

2011-08-29T21:08:05Z

commit aba8d056078e47350d85b06a9cabd5afcc4b72ea upstream. In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at $GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior in some unexpected way. "config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment variable.

perf: Initialize callchains roots's childen hits

2010-09-20T20:17:55Z

commit 5225c45899e872383ca39f5533d28ec63c54b39e upstream. Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got random values on their creation. The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum hits expected from children branches. If the random value due to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches. The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

perf: Resurrect flat callchains

2010-08-02T17:20:51Z

commit 97aa1052739c6a06cb6b0467dbf410613d20bc97 upstream. Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly. When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random. Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything. This fixes segfaults and percentages followed by empty callchains while running: perf report -g flat Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf tools: Fix compatibility with libelf 0.8 and autodetect

2009-10-25T16:09:14Z

The Makefile now automatically defines LIBELF_NO_MMAP when libelf 0.8.x is detected. libelf 0.8 is still maintained and some distributions such as Arch Linux use it instead of elfutils.

perf timechart: Improve the visual appearance of scheduler delays

2009-10-20T01:39:21Z

[from KS feedback] Currently, scheduler delays are shown in a mostly transparent, light yellow color. This color is rather hard to see on several screens, especially projectors. This patch changes the color of the scheduler delays to be a much more "hard" yellow that survived the kernel summit projector.

perf tools: Remove static debugfs path from parse-events

2009-10-12T20:41:05Z

Timechart doesn't work if debugfs is not in /sys/kernel/debug/. Fixed by using global debugfs_path which is filled in by perf. Signed-off-by: Ashwin Chaugule Cc: "Arjan van de Ven" LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Fix const char type propagation

2009-10-12T06:35:00Z

The following perf build warnings/errors in function argument types: builtin-sched.c:1894: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sort_dimension__add' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:685: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:741: warning: passing argument 4 of 'test_type_token' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:706: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected_item' discards qualifiers from pointer target type ... trigger because older GCC is not able to prove that sort_dimension__add() does not change the string. Some goes for test_type_token(). Fix this by improving type consistency.

perf tools: elf_sym__is_function() should accept "zero" sized functions

2009-10-06T10:08:08Z

Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really zero sized, and as now we do kernel_maps__fixup_sym_end, at least for kernel routines this gets fixed. A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well, but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.
