perf probe: Check -v and -q options in the right place

2022-12-20T18:16:33+00:00

Check the -q and -v options first to return earlier on error.

Before:

  # perf probe -q -v test
  probe-definition(0): test
  symbol:test file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
    Error: -v and -q are exclusive.

After:

  # perf probe -q -v test
    Error: -v and -q are exclusive.

perf tools: Make quiet mode consistent between tools

2022-10-27T19:37:26+00:00

Use the global quiet variable everywhere so that all tools hide warnings
in quiet mode and update the documentation to reflect this.

'perf probe' claimed that errors are not printed in quiet mode but I
don't see this so remove it from the docs.

perf namespaces: Add functions to access nsinfo

2022-02-11T17:31:22+00:00

Having functions to access nsinfo reduces the places where reference
counting checking needs to be added.

perf tools: Check vmlinux/kallsyms arguments in all tools

Only perf report checked the validity of these arguments so apply the
same check to all tools that read them for consistency.

perf probe: Add --bootconfig to output definition in bootconfig format

2021-06-18T16:50:05+00:00

Now the boot-time tracing supports kprobes events and that must be
written in bootconfig file in the following format.

  ftrace.event.kprobes..probes = 

'perf probe' already supports --definition (-D) action to show probe
definitions, but the format is for tracefs:

  [p|r][:EVENT_NAME] 

This patch adds the --bootconfig option for -D action so that it outputs
the probe definitions in bootconfig format. E.g.

  $ perf probe --bootconfig -D "path_lookupat:7 err:s32 s:string"
  ftrace.event.kprobes.path_lookupat_L7.probe = 'path_lookupat.isra.0+309 err_s32=%ax:s32 s_string=+0(%r13):string'

perf probe: Do not show the skipped events

2020-05-28T13:03:24+00:00

When a probe point is expanded to several places (like inlined) and if
some of them are skipped because of blacklisted or __init function,
those trace_events has no event name. It must be skipped while showing
results.

Without this fix, you can see "(null):(null)" on the list,

  # ./perf probe request_resource
  reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    (null):(null)        (on request_resource)
    probe:request_resource (on request_resource)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1

  #

With this fix, it is ignored:

  # ./perf probe request_resource
  reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:request_resource (on request_resource)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1

perf symbols: Move symsrc prototypes to a separate header

2019-09-01T01:24:05+00:00

So that we can remove dso.h from symbol.h and reduce the header
dependency tree.

Fixup cases where struct dso guts are needed but were obtained via
symbol.h, indirectly.
