perf debug: Move debug initialization earlier

2021-05-27T16:24:22+00:00

This avoids segfaults during option handlers that use pr_err. For
example, "perf --debug nopager list" segfaults before this change.

Fixes: 8abceacff87d (perf debug: Add debug_set_file function)

perf daemon: Add daemon command

2021-02-09T18:42:57+00:00

Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering
various setup in start command.

Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info.

This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run
record long running sessions on the background.

The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run
record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command.

This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one
can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or
removed, etc.

libperf: Merge libperf_set_print() into libperf_init()

2019-09-25T12:51:49+00:00

The libperf_set_print() function needs to be called in any case so let's
merge it with libperf_init(), so we have just one init function.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.

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.

perf event: Remove needless include directives from event.h

2019-09-01T01:19:24+00:00

bpf.h and build-id.h are not needed at all in event.h, remove them.

And fixup the fallout of files that were getting needed stuff from this
now pruned include.

perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.h

2019-08-31T22:10:19+00:00

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.

perf tools: Remove needless perf.h include directive from headers

perf tools: Move everything related to sys_perf_event_open() to perf-sys.h

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

And remove unneeded include directives from perf-sys.h to prune the
header dependency tree.

Fixup the fallout in places where definitions were being used without
the needed include directives that were being satisfied because they
were in perf-sys.h.
