perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

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

2015-04-02T16:18:48+00:00

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

Example:

 # perf lock record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4880686 Apr  2 14:14 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

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

  usage: perf lock report []

     -k, --key   key for sorting (acquired / contended /
     avg_wait / wait_total / wait_max / wait_min)

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

After this patch:

 # perf lock report
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 Initializing perf session failed
 # perf lock report -f
                Name   acquired  contended   avg wait (ns) total wait (ns) ...

         &p->pi_lock        112          0               0               0 ...

 ...

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 tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux

2014-08-13T19:42:21+00:00

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel.  This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.

We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always.  As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.

Before:

  $ perf report
  ...
  # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
  # Event count (approx.): 1067250000
  #
  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ..............................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] recover_probed_instruction

After:

  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ....................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt

This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct
perf_session_env *.

perf lock: Move call to symbol__init() after creating session

2014-08-13T19:34:06+00:00

This is a preparation of fixing dso__load_kernel_sym().  It needs a
session info before calling symbol__init().

perf tools: Rename ordered_samples bool to ordered_events

2014-08-12T15:02:54+00:00

The time ordering is generic for all kinds of events, so using generic
name 'ordered_events' for ordered_samples bool in perf_tool struct.

No functional change was intended.
