perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends

2014-01-13T13:06:25+00:00

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact.

Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__',
as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do
it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this
case.

perf evlist: Move destruction of maps to evlist destructor

2014-01-13T13:06:21+00:00

Instead of requiring tools to do an extra destructor call just before
calling perf_evlist__delete.

perf evlist: Move the SIGUSR1 error reporting logic to prepare_workload

2014-01-13T13:06:21+00:00

So that we have the boilerplate in the preparation method, instead of
open coded in tools wanting the reporting when the exec fails.

perf tools: Rename 'perf_record_opts' to 'record_opts

2013-12-19T17:43:45+00:00

Reduce typing, functions use class__method convention, so unlikely to
clash with other libraries.

This actually was discussed in the "Link:" referenced message below.

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__to_front()

2013-12-13T13:30:21+00:00

Add a function to move a selected event to the
front of the list.

This is needed because it is not possible
to use the PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT IOCTL
from an Instruction Tracing event to a
non-Instruction Tracing event.  Thus the
Instruction Tracing event must come first.

perf evlist: Add can_select_event() method

2013-12-13T13:30:20+00:00

Add a function to determine whether an event can be selected.

This function is needed to allow a tool to automatically select
additional events, but only if they are available.

perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03+00:00

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough
and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should
help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

tools/perf: Add required memory barriers

2013-11-06T11:34:26+00:00

To match patch bf378d341e48 ("perf: Fix perf ring buffer memory
ordering") change userspace to also adhere to the ordering outlined.

perf tools: Finish the removal of 'self' arguments

2013-11-05T18:32:36+00:00

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some
point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more
sensibly.

perf tools: Check maximum frequency rate for record/top

2013-11-05T18:15:08+00:00

Adding the check for maximum allowed frequency rate defined in following
file:

  /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate

When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.

  $ perf record -F 3000 ls
  Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
  Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
  tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross
the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the
current maximum.

  $ perf record ls
  Lowering default frequency rate to 2000.
  Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

Same messages are used for 'perf top'.
