perf tools: Add dedicated unwind addr_space member into thread struct

2016-04-08T12:58:02+00:00

Milian reported issue with thread::priv, which was double booked by perf
trace and DWARF unwind code. So using those together is impossible at
the moment.

Moving DWARF unwind private data into separate variable so perf trace
can keep using thread::priv.

perf tools: Use atomic_t to implement thread__{get,put} refcnt

2015-05-08T19:16:23+00:00

Fixing bugs in 'perf top' where the used thread unsafe 'struct thread'
refcount implementation was falling apart because we really use two
threads.

perf tools: Add pid/tid filtering to report and script commands

2015-03-24T16:02:46+00:00

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of
pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data.

Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only
consider samples related to the given pids/tids.

This is also inline with the existing comm option.

perf tools: Reference count struct thread

2015-03-03T03:17:08+00:00

We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.

perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly way

2014-10-29T12:32:49+00:00

This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a
database-friendly way.  The abstraction does not implement the actual
output.  A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending
the script interface.

The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms
etc need to be exported only once.  That means allocating them a unique
identifier and recording it on each structure.  The member 'db_id' is
used for that.  'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number.

Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports
the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a
db_id.

perf tools: A thread's machine can be found via thread->mg->machine

2014-10-29T12:32:46+00:00

So stop passing both machine and thread to several thread methods,
reducing function signature length.

For grouping together all the data from a single execution, which is
