<title>perf tools: Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided</title>

<id>a706670900073d236938d539d1109338d64b47bb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the reference of buildid dir to 'symfs/.debug' and
skips the local buildid dir when '--symfs' is given, so that every
single file opened by perf is relative to symfs directory now.

Since we only deal with fields in the passed struct perf_sample move
this method to struct machine, that is where the perf_sample fields
will be resolved to a struct addr_location, i.e. thread, map, symbol,

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.

<title>perf machine: Protect the machine-&gt;threads with a rwlock</title>
<updated>2015-05-08T19:19:27+00:00</updated>

<id>b91fc39f4ad7503419dd617df78401fa36266cb3</id>
<content type='text'>
In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine-&gt;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(&amp;al)" with "addr_location__put(&amp;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.

<title>perf timechart: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership</title>
<updated>2015-04-02T16:18:50+00:00</updated>

<id>44f7e432e3dc8a13f5661e8b722f53645df083d1</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable perf timechart to use perf.data when it is not owned by current
user or root.

Example:

 # perf timechart record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5471744 Apr  2 15:15 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

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

  usage: perf timechart [&lt;options&gt;] {record}

     -i, --input &lt;file&gt;    input file name
     -o, --output &lt;file&gt;   output file name
     -w, --width &lt;n&gt;       page width
         --highlight &lt;duration or task name&gt;
                           highlight tasks. Pass duration in ns or process name.
     -P, --power-only      output power data only
     -T, --tasks-only      output processes data only
     -p, --process &lt;process&gt;
                           process selector. Pass a pid or process name.
         --symfs &lt;directory&gt;
                           Look for files with symbols relative to this directory
     -n, --proc-num &lt;n&gt;    min. number of tasks to print
     -t, --topology        sort CPUs according to topology
         --io-skip-eagain  skip EAGAIN errors
         --io-min-time &lt;time&gt;
                           all IO faster than min-time will visually appear longer
         --io-merge-dist &lt;time&gt;
                           merge events that are merge-dist us apart

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

After this patch:

 # perf timechart
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf timechart -f
 Written 0.0 seconds of trace to output.svg.
 # cat output.svg
 &lt;?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?&gt;

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

Example:

 # perf timechart record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5471744 Apr  2 15:15 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

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

  usage: perf timechart [&lt;options&gt;] {record}

     -i, --input &lt;file&gt;    input file name
     -o, --output &lt;file&gt;   output file name
     -w, --width &lt;n&gt;       page width
         --highlight &lt;duration or task name&gt;
                           highlight tasks. Pass duration in ns or process name.
     -P, --power-only      output power data only
     -T, --tasks-only      output processes data only
     -p, --process &lt;process&gt;
                           process selector. Pass a pid or process name.
         --symfs &lt;directory&gt;
                           Look for files with symbols relative to this directory
     -n, --proc-num &lt;n&gt;    min. number of tasks to print
     -t, --topology        sort CPUs according to topology
         --io-skip-eagain  skip EAGAIN errors
         --io-min-time &lt;time&gt;
                           all IO faster than min-time will visually appear longer
         --io-merge-dist &lt;time&gt;
                           merge events that are merge-dist us apart

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

After this patch:

 # perf timechart
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf timechart -f
 Written 0.0 seconds of trace to output.svg.
 # cat output.svg

The bash completion does not support listing subsubcommands for 'perf
timechart &lt;TAB&gt;', so fix it.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf timechart &lt;TAB&gt;
 $

As shown above, the subsubcommands of perf timechart does not come out.

After this patch:

 $ perf timechart &lt;TAB&gt;
 record

As shown above, the subsubcommands of perf timechart can come out now.

Those are shared with other builtin commands like kvm, script.  So
make it accessable from them.  This is a preparation of later change
that limiting possible options.
