perf tools: Refactor code to move call path handling out of thread-stack

2016-05-06T16:00:43+00:00

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.

Summary:

- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.

- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
  and into call-path.c and call-path.h.

- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
  call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
  compile.

This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

perf build: Remove x86 references from arch-neutral Build

2016-04-19T15:37:02+00:00

It will already be dealt with generating the syscalltbl.c file in the
x86 arch specific Build files, namely via 'archheaders'.

This fixes the build on !x86 arches, as reported for powerpcle

perf evsel: Move fprintf methods to separate source file

2016-04-14T22:46:58+00:00

They still use functions that would drag more stuff to the python
binding, where these fprintf methods are not used, so separate it.

perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl

2016-04-08T12:58:14+00:00

We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.

To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.

Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
  Error:	Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
  Hint:	try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
  Hint:	and: 'man syscalls'
  #

With this patch:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
    8505.733 ( 0.010 ms): gnome-shell/2519 timerfd_create(flags: 524288) = 36

perf trace: Move syscall table id <-> name routines to separate class

2016-04-08T12:58:13+00:00

We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer
libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as
"userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.

We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move
this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will
progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table
for use in 'perf trace'.

perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestamp

2016-04-01T21:42:55+00:00

Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead
of the monotonic clock.  Use of TSC is selected by an environment
variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file
with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.
