perf python: Fix undefined symbol problem

2011-11-16T12:02:26+00:00

Recently we made perf_evsel__init call hists__init, which broke the perf
python binding:

[root@emilia linux]# ./tools/perf/python/twatch.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in 
    import perf
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: hists__init

Fix it by moving the hists__init function to its only caller, evsel.c.

This way we avoid dragging in other parts of tools/perf/util/ to the
perf python binding.

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 browser: Use libslang to read keys

2011-10-20T18:59:15+00:00

Just another step in stopping the use of libnewt in perf.

perf hists: Move the dso and thread filters from hist_browser

2011-10-19T11:28:19+00:00

Since with dynamic addition of new hist entries we need to apply those
filters as we merge new batches of hist_entry instances, for instance in
perf top.

perf hists: Don't format the percentage on hist_entry__snprintf

2011-10-18T19:03:08+00:00

We can't have color correctly set there because in libslang (and in a future
GUI) the colors must be set on a separate function call, so move that part to a
separate function and make the stdio fprintf function call it.

perf top: Honour --hide_{user,kernel}_symbols and the 'U' hotkey

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 hists: Fix compilation when NO_NEWT_SUPPORT is set

2011-10-13T11:48:58+00:00

This patch, relative to tip/master, makes perf compile when
NO_NEWT_SUPPORT is set.  It also fixes the line formatting to fit 80
columns.

Please test with NO_NEWT.

perf annotate browser: Allow navigation to called functions

2011-10-07T20:00:09+00:00

I.e. when in the annotate TUI window, if Enter is pressed over an
assembly line with a 'callq' it will try to open another TUI window with
that symbol.

This is just a proof of concept and works only on x86_64, more work is
needed to support kernel modules, userland, other arches, etc, but
should already be useful as-is.

perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes

2011-10-07T19:56:44+00:00

This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':

1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
   "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
   that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.

And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:

[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     0.08%  libX11.so.6.3.0
     0.07%  [vdso]

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.

The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.

This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.
