perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewt

2013-04-01T15:23:21+00:00

Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists
browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all
traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an
indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets
NO_SLANG=1.

perf python: Fix dependency for python/perf.so

perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profiling

2013-04-01T15:21:44+00:00

This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to
make it easier to configure for memory access profiling.

To record loads:
$ perf mem -t load rec .....

To record stores:
$ perf mem -t store rec .....

To get the report:
$ perf mem -t load rep

perf tests: Add a test case for checking sw clock event frequency

2013-03-18T14:43:16+00:00

perf test: Add test case for checking number of EXIT events

2013-03-15T16:06:12+00:00

The new test__task_exit() test runs a simple "/usr/bin/true" workload and then
checks whether the number of EXIT event is 1 or not.

perf tests: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler counts

2013-03-15T16:06:10+00:00

Adding automated test to check the exact number of breakpoint event
overflows and counts.

This test was originally done by Vince Weaver for perf_event_tests.

perf tests: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler

2013-03-15T16:06:10+00:00

Adding automated test for breakpoint event signal handler checking if
it's executed properly.

The test is related to the proper handling of the RF EFLAGS bit on
x86_64, but it's generic for all archs.

First we check the signal handler is properly called and that the
following debug exception return to user space wouldn't trigger
recursive breakpoint.

This is related to x86_64 RF EFLAGS bit being managed in a wrong way.

Second we check that we can set breakpoint in signal handler, which is
not possible on x86_64 if the signal handler is executed with RF EFLAG
set.

This test is inpired by overflow tests done by Vince Weaver.

perf tools: Introduce tools/lib/lk library

2013-03-15T16:06:00+00:00

This introduces the tools/lib/lk library, that will gradually have the
routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can
be shared.

Start by carving out debugfs routines for general use.

perf tools: check if -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is allowed

2013-03-13T19:57:27+00:00

It seems gcc (4.7.2) defines _FORTIFY_SOURCE internally and becomes
confused when it sees another definition in flags.

For me, build failed like this:

CHK glibc
Makefile:548: *** No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el]/glibc-static. Stop.

and only with V=1 it printed:

:0:0: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
:1:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older.

2013-02-14T19:12:34+00:00

The %name-prefix "prefix" syntax is not available on bison 2.3 and
older. Substitute with the -p "prefix" command-line option for
compatibility with older versions of bison.

This patch fixes this build error with older versions of bison.
