perf top: Fix live annotation in the --stdio interface

2011-11-03T13:31:26+00:00

In the old --stdio interface the annotation is done just after one
selects a symbol, while in --tui, now the default when the required libs
are installed, we annotate all symbols with samples so that when
annotation is asked we see what happened recently on that symbol.

To achieve that the --stdio variant checks if the hist_entry being
processed is the one selected by the user via the 's' hotkey. What
happens now that we share the hist_entry abstractions with 'perf report'
is that for minimizing locking contention multiple rb_trees are used,
one for collecting the samples and other to browse/show them after
resorting it by number of samples and decay them, which is done
periodically.

So the simple test in record_precise_ip doesn't work as we move
hist_entries between those rb_trees. To fix it just check that the
underlying struct symbol associated with those hist_entries is the same.

perf top tui: Don't recalc column widths considering just the first page

2011-11-02T14:54:48+00:00

It makes sense for the stdio where we can't navigate to the other pages.

On the TUI it breaks as soon as we navigate to other pages that have,
DSOs with longer names than the ones on the first page.

perf hists browser: Warn about lost events

2011-11-02T14:27:23+00:00

Just like the old perf top --tui and the --stdio version.

But because we have the initial menu to choose which event to show in a
session with multiple events we can see how many chunks were lost in
each of the event types, clarifying which events are being affected the
most.

perf ui: Rename ui__warning_paranoid to ui__error_paranoid

2011-10-26T15:12:01+00:00

As it will exit the tool after the user is notified.

perf evlist: Fix grouping of multiple events

2011-10-26T12:25:02+00:00

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.

So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.

At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

perf top: Fix the 'E' hotkey, select among multiple events

2011-10-17T11:10:24+00:00

We were not recognizing 'E' as a hotkey due to a bug introduced when
switching to the new, hist_entry based top. Fix it by returning that 'E'
is mapped if evlist->nr_entries > 1.

2011-10-17T11:05:04+00:00

The new decay routine (__hists__decay_entries) wasn't being passed the
toggles, fix it.

perf top: Remove entries from entries_collapsed on decay

2011-10-13T13:29:17+00:00

We were removing only when using a --sort order that needs collapsing,
while we also use it in the threaded case, causing memory corruption
because we were scribbling freed hist entries, oops.

perf ui browser: Handle SIGWINCH

2011-10-13T11:52:46+00:00

To do that we needed to stop using newtForm, as we don't want libnewt to
catch the xterm resize signal.

Remove some more newt calls and instead use the underlying libslang
directly. In time tools/perf will use just libslang.

perf tools: Make --no-asm-raw the default

2011-10-07T20:01:32+00:00

And add the annotation output knobs to all the tools that have
integrated annotation (top, report).
