perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

2012-11-19T22:21:03+00:00

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use  and  instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct.  Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86.  I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile.  Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits.  We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

perf: Fix UAPI fallout

2012-10-14T19:22:52+00:00

The UAPI commits forgot to test tooling builds such as tools/perf/,
and this fixes the fallout.

Manual conversion.

perf diff: Make diff command work with evsel hists

2012-09-08T00:44:02+00:00

Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest'
evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object
gathering stats for the particular event.

While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session
regardless of the events diversification within compared
sessions.

The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within
compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event
diff output stays the same.

  $ ./perf diff

perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing

2012-08-11T18:06:56+00:00

This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.

Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.

The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.

The unwind interface provides following function:
	unwind__get_entries

And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
	typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
					 void *arg);

perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__parse_sample

2012-08-02T14:42:57+00:00

That is a more compact form of perf_session__parse_sample and to support
multiple evlists per perf_session is the way to go anyway.

with different sample_type/sizes.
