perf tools: Introduce usage_with_options_msg()

2015-10-27T12:28:44+00:00

Now usage_with_options() setup a pager before printing message so normal
printf() or pr_err() will not be shown.  The usage_with_options_msg()
can be used to print some help message before usage strings.

perf evlist: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership

2015-04-02T16:18:45+00:00

Enable perf evlist to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root.

Example:

 # perf record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28260 Apr  2 10:18 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 # perf evlist
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf evlist -f
   Error: unknown switch `f'

  usage: perf evlist []

     -i, --input     Input file name
     -F, --freq            Show the sample frequency
     -v, --verbose         Show all event attr details
     -g, --group           Show event group information

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.

After this patch:

 # perf evlist
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf evlist -f
 cycles

As shown above, the -f option really works now.

perf tools: Modify error code for when perf_session__new() fails

2014-09-26T15:32:58+00:00

Because perf_session__new() can fail for more reasons than just ENOMEM,
modify error code(ENOMEM or EINVAL) to -1.

perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends

2014-01-13T13:06:25+00:00

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact.

Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__',
as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do
it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this
case.

perf tools: Add data object to handle perf data file

2013-10-21T20:33:24+00:00

This patch is adding 'struct perf_data_file' object as a placeholder for
all attributes regarding perf.data file handling. Changing
perf_session__new to take it as an argument.

The rest of the functionality will be added later to keep this change
simple enough, because all the places using perf_session are changed
now.

perf evlist: Add --group option

2013-01-31T16:07:49+00:00

Add '-g/--group' option for showing event groups.  For simplicity it is
currently not compatible with other options.

  $ perf evlist --group
  {ref-cycles,cycles}

  $ perf evlist
  ref-cycles
  cycles

perf evsel: Adopt fprintf routine from 'perf evlist'

2012-12-11T20:19:53+00:00

So that we can print all the details when debugging other tools,
when we have just evlists and evsels, not a perf.data file.

perf tools: Add a global variable "const char *input_name"

2012-10-29T13:45:34+00:00

Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all
support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them
create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data.

Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for
it, also it can some other benefits:

1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs
to know the perf data file name to run that script.

2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file,
this variable can also help.
