perf record: Add an option to force per-cpu mmaps

2013-11-14T19:10:27+00:00

By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.

Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.

Further comments by peterz:

So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?

As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

perf probe: Add '--demangle'/'--no-demangle'

2013-11-14T19:06:28+00:00

You can't pass demangled name into "perf probe", because of special chars:
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out 'foo(int)'
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.

And you can't even pass without demangling (because it search symbol in
DSO with demangle=true):
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
no symbols found in /tmp/a.out, maybe install a debug package?

However:
nm /tmp/a.out | grep foo
000000000040056d T _Z3fooi

After this patch, using the next command:
./perf probe -f --no-demangle -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi

probe will be successfully added.

perf ui browser: Fix segfault caused by off by one handling END key

2013-11-14T19:00:31+00:00

$ perf record ls
$ perf report

Press 'down enter end'

Result:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The UI browser, used on a argv array would access past the end of the
array on SEEK_END because it wasn't using 'nr_entries - 1', fix it.

perf symbols: Limit max callchain using max_stack on DWARF unwinding too

2013-11-14T19:00:23+00:00

It was affecting only frame-pointer (fp) based callchain processing.

Usage example:

  perf top --call-graph dwarf,1024 --max-stack 2

Works for any tool that does callchain resolving and provides a
--max-stack option.

perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__prev() method

2013-11-14T19:00:16+00:00

Just one use so far, on the hists browser, for completeness since there
we use perf_evlist__{first,last} and perf_evsel__next() for handling the
TAB and UNTAB keys.

perf tools: Use perf_evlist__{first,last}, perf_evsel__next

2013-11-14T19:00:10+00:00

In a few remaining places where the equivalent open coded variant was
still being used.

perf tools: Synthesize anon MMAP records again

2013-11-14T19:00:01+00:00

When introducing the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in:

5c5e854bc760 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support

A check for the number of entries parsed by sscanf was introduced that
assumed all of the 8 fields needed to be correctly parsed so that
particular /proc/pid/maps line would be considered synthesizable.

That broke anon records synthesizing, as it doesn't have the 'execname'
field.

Fix it by keeping the sscanf return check, changing it to not require
that the 'execname' variable be parsed, so that the preexisting logic
can kick in and set it to '//anon'.

This should get things like JIT profiling working again.
