perf callchain: Allow disabling call graphs per event

2015-08-12T16:20:28+00:00

This patch introduce "call-graph=no" to disable per-event callgraph.

Here is an example.

  perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=fp/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=no/' sleep 1

  perf report --stdio

perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

2015-05-08T19:19:27+00:00

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.

That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.

So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.

I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".

The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

perf tools: Don't allow empty argument for field-separator

2015-03-20T20:49:51+00:00

Both 'perf diff' and 'perf mem' have 'field-separator' option, which
causes segfault if passed with empty string. This patch uses previously
introduced 'OPT_STRING_NOEMPTY' option macro to prevent fault.

perf diff: Fix -o/--order option behavior

2015-01-21T16:24:35+00:00

The prior change fixes default output ordering with each column but it
breaks -o/--order option.  This patch prepends a new hpp fmt struct to
sort list but not to output field list so that it can affect ordering
without adding a new output column.

The new hpp fmt uses its own compare functions which treats dummy
entries (which have no baseline) little differently - the delta field
can be computed without baseline but others (ratio and wdiff) are not.

The new output will look like below:

  $ perf diff -o 2 perf.data.{old,cur,new}
  ...
  # Baseline/0  Delta/1  Delta/2  Shared Object      Symbol
  # ..........  .......  .......  .................  ..........................................

In above example, the output was sorted by 'Delta/2' column first, and
then 'Baseline/0' and finally 'Delta/1'.

perf diff: Fix output ordering to honor next column

2015-01-21T16:24:34+00:00

When perf diff prints output, it sorts the entries using baseline field
by default, but entries which don't have baseline are not sorted
properly.  This patch makes it sorted by values of next column.

perf diff: Print diff result more precisely

2015-01-21T16:24:34+00:00

Current perf diff result is somewhat confusing since it sometimes hide
small result and sometimes there's no result.  So do not hide small
result (less than 0.01%) and print "N/A" if baseline is not
recorded (for ratio and wdiff only).  Blank means the baseline is
available but its pairs are not.
