perf tools: Enhance the matching of sub-commands abbreviations

2022-03-26T13:55:57+00:00

We support short command 'rec*' for 'record' and 'rep*' for 'report' in
lots of sub-commands, but the matching is not quite strict currnetly.

It may be puzzling sometime, like we mis-type a 'recport' to report but
it will perform 'record' in fact without any message.

To fix this, add a check to ensure that the short cmd is valid prefix
of the real command.

Committer testing:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf c2c re sleep 1

   Usage: perf c2c {record|report}

      -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)

  # perf c2c rec sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.038 MB perf.data (16 samples) ]
  # perf c2c recport sleep 1

   Usage: perf c2c {record|report}

      -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)

  # perf c2c record sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.038 MB perf.data (15 samples) ]
  # perf c2c records sleep 1

   Usage: perf c2c {record|report}

      -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)

perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()

2021-08-02T13:06:51+00:00

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others
passes 'false'.  Let's remove it from the function signature and add
__perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly.

This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.

perf tools: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-28T13:03:27+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
member[1][2], introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2020-05-05T19:35:30+00:00

As those are not 'struct evsel' methods, not part of tools/lib/perf/,
aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs.

perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure

2019-09-20T18:58:11+00:00

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.

Test Results:

Before Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  0
  $

After Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  254
  $

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

Remove traceevent/event-parse.h and traceevent/trace-seq.h from places

Should avoid rebuilding those files when these traceevent headers get
changed.

perf timechart: Refactor svg_build_topology_map()

2019-08-29T20:38:31+00:00

Exchange the parameters of svg_build_topology_map() with 'struct
perf_env *env' and adjust the function accordingly.

This patch should not change any behavior, it is merely refactoring for
the following patch.

Committer notes:

No need to include env.h from svghelper.h, all it needs is a forward
declaration for 'struct perf_env', so move the include directive to
svghelper.c, where it is really needed.

libperf: Move perf_event_attr field from perf's evsel to libperf's perf_evsel

2019-07-29T21:34:45+00:00

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'.

Committer notes:

Fixed up these:

 tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c
 tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
 tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c
 tools/perf/arch/s390/util/auxtrace.c
 tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c

Also

  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  tests/sample-parsing.c: In function 'do_test':
  tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: missing initializer
  tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: (near initialization for 'evsel.core.cpus')

   	struct evsel evsel = {
   		.needs_swap = false,
  -		.core.attr = {
  -			.sample_type = sample_type,
  -			.read_format = read_format,
  +		.core = {
  +			. attr = {
  +				.sample_type = sample_type,
  +				.read_format = read_format,
  +			},

  [perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1
  gcc (GCC) 4.4.7

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.
