perf lock: Document lock info subcommand

2012-01-30T20:30:48+00:00

The commit 26242d859c9be ("perf lock: Add "info" subcommand for dumping
misc information") added the subcommand but missed documentation. Add
it. Also update stale 'trace' subcommand to 'script'.

perf report: Accept fifos as input file

2011-12-23T19:01:03+00:00

The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

perf tools: Rename perf_event_ops to perf_tool

2011-11-28T12:39:28+00:00

To better reflect that it became the base class for all tools, that must
be in each tool struct and where common stuff will be put.

perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_ops

2011-11-28T12:39:12+00:00

Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the
classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

perf tools: Pass tool context in the the perf_event_ops functions

2011-11-28T12:38:56+00:00

So that we don't need to have that many globals.

Next steps will remove the 'session' pointer, that in most cases is
not needed.

Then we can rename perf_event_ops to 'perf_tool' that better describes
this class hierarchy.

perf lock: Dropping unsupported ':r' modifier

2011-08-08T12:41:35+00:00

Looks to me like the :r modifier is not supported anymore, so remove it
from the list of events. Without this fix 'perf lock record' doesn't
work.

perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()

2011-03-23T22:28:58+00:00

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.

Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

perf lock: Fix sorting by wait_min

2011-03-16T12:05:58+00:00

If lock was uncontended, wait_time_min == ULLONG_MAX, so we need to
handle this case differently to show high wait times first

perf tools: Kill event_t typedef, use 'union perf_event' instead

2011-01-29T18:25:37+00:00

And move the event_t methods to the perf_event__ too.

No code changes, just namespace consistency.
