perf tools: Move UI bits to tools/perf/ui directory

2012-04-11T20:16:40+00:00

Move those files to new directory in order to be prepared to further UI
work. Makefile and header file pathes are adjusted accordingly.

perf annotate browser: string search: /?n

2012-04-07T20:37:22+00:00

Using the same keystrokes as vim:

/ = search forward
n = search next forward/backwards
? = search backwards

Still needs to continue from start/end when not found, use HOME + / or
END + ? for now.

At some point we need a keybindings file to support ones favourite mode,
erm, like EMACS, etc.

Also we now need a 'h' window with all these keybindings.

perf report: Correct display of samples and events in header

2012-04-07T20:29:41+00:00

This patch prints the number of samples and the count of performance
events separately.

This allows comparing performance of different applications with each
other.

Previously, the sample count was displayed against an 'Events:' heading.
With this patch, the header now reads (for example):

Samples: 5K of event 'instructions'
Event count (approx.): 2993026545

The patch covers both the stdio and the browser interface.

perf annotate browser: Initial support for navigating jump instructions

2012-04-07T19:14:23+00:00

Now it is possible to press ENTER or -> (right arrow) on jump
instructions to navigate to the offset it points to.

More work needed to support <- to go back, i.e. a jump history.

This is done just like the callq case, i.e. parsing objdump output
lines, but should move to use Masami's disassembler at some point.

perf ui annotate browser: Add list based search for addr offset

2012-04-07T19:11:33+00:00

From the hit sorted rb_tree, so that we can use it in the upcoming jump
instruction support.

perf ui annotate browser: Move callq handling to separate function

2012-04-07T19:10:50+00:00

So that we can as well handle jumps. Later we'll move this to a proper
intruction table, etc.

perf ui annotate browser: Allow toggling addr offset view

2012-04-07T19:10:19+00:00

The lines in objdump have this format:

    ffffffff8126543f:       jne    ffffffff81265494 <__list_del_entry+0x84>

    ffffffff81265494:       mov    %rdi,%rcx

Since we now have objdump_line allowing tools to print the offset
independently from the rest of the line, allow toggling a view where
just offsets from the start of the function are shown:

     2f:       jne    ffffffff81265494 <__list_del_entry+0x84>

     84:       mov    %rdi,%rcx

The offset view will be the default as soon as operations that deal with
offsets in a function are handled accodringly, i.e. in offset view the
above will become:

     2f:       jne    __list_del_entry+0x84

     84:       mov    %rdi,%rcx

And then a follow up patch will allow navigating thru jumps, just like
we handle callq instructions.

perf annotate: Allow printing objdump line addr in different color

2012-04-07T19:09:05+00:00

And by default use "magenta" for it.

Both the --stdio and --tui routines follow the same semantics.

perf ui browser: Return the current color when setting a new one

2012-04-07T19:08:42+00:00

Tools that want to change parts of the line to a different color and
then restore the previous one will use this, starting with the annotate
browser that will change the color of addresses if not on the current
entry, i.e. the selected one.

perf hists browser: Fix NULL deref in hists browsing code

2012-04-05T21:58:45+00:00

If there's an event with no samples in data file, the perf report
command can segfault after entering the event details menu.

Following steps reproduce the issue:

 # ./perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load,syscalls:sys_enter_mmap ls
 # ./perf report
 # enter '0 syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load' menu
 # pres ENTER twice

Above steps are valid assuming ls wont run kexec.. ;)

The check for sellection to be NULL is missing. The fix makes sure it's
being check. Above steps now endup with menu being displayed allowing
'Exit' as the only option.
