perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory

2019-11-06T18:43:05+00:00

Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

  $ sudo perf record --kcore uname

  $ sudo tree perf.data
  perf.data
  ├── kcore_dir
  │   ├── kallsyms
  │   ├── kcore
  │   └── modules
  └── data

perf data: Rename directory "header" file to "data"

2019-11-06T18:43:05+00:00

In preparation to support a single file directory format, rename "header"
to "data" because "header" is a mis-leading name when there is only 1 file.
Note, in the multi-file case, the "header" file also contains data.

perf tools: Fix resource leak of closedir() on the error paths

2019-10-15T14:54:11+00:00

Both build_mem_topology() and rm_rf_depth_pat() have resource leaks of
closedir() on the error paths.

Fix this by calling closedir() before function returns.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.h

2019-08-31T22:10:19+00:00

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.

perf tools: Remove perf.h from source files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we
ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.

perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present

2019-08-14T13:48:39+00:00

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

Committer notes:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : FAILED!
  $ perf test -v python
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 23288
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  $

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  	libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
  $

The python binding isn't linking with libcap:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

  $ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
    $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

libperf: Adopt the readn()/writen() functions from tools/perf

2019-07-29T21:34:46+00:00

Move the readn()/writen() functions into libperf.

Keep those non-namespaced names because they will be shared only between
perf and libperf.

Again, these are not exported functions.
