perf tools: Fix fallback to cplus_demangle() when bfd_demangle() is not available

2010-07-22T20:30:39+00:00

make version 3.80 doesn't support "else ifdef" on the same line, also it
doesn't support unindented nested constructs.

Build fails with:
Makefile:608: Extraneous text after `else' directive
Makefile:611: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.

This patch fixes the build for make 3.80.

perf annotate: Fix handling of goto labels that are valid hex numbers

2010-07-22T17:04:13+00:00

When parsing the objdump disassembly output we can have goto labels that
are valid hex numbers and thus get confused with lines with machine
code.

Handle the common case of a label that has nothing after it and other
cases where there is just source code by validating the resulting "ip".

It is still possible that we find goto labels that are in the function
address range, but only if they are located before the real address we
should be OK.

A change in the objdump output to have a clear marker separating
addresses from the disassembly would come handy, but we would still have
to deal with older versions.

perf symbols: Fix directory descriptor leaking

2010-07-16T17:16:47+00:00

When I ran "perf kvm ... top", I encountered the following error output.

  Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files)

  Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

Looking into perf, I found perf opens too many directories at
initialization time, but forgets to close them. Here is the fix.

perf: Fix various display bugs with parent filtering

2010-07-16T02:56:09+00:00

Hists that have been filtered, because they don't have callchains
matching the parent filter, won't be printed. As such,
hist_entry__snprintf() returns 0 for them, but we don't control
this value and we always print the buffer, which might be
untouched and then only made of random stack garbage.

Not only does it paint the screen with barf, it also prints
the callchains for these hists, even though they have been filtered,
since the hist has been filtered as well.

We need to check the return value of hist_entry__snprintf() and
ignore the hist if it is 0, which means it didn't get any callchain
matching the parent filter. This fixes the barf and the undesired
callchains.

perf: Sync callchains with period based hits

2010-07-08T04:26:56+00:00

Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this
period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in
perf report.

But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking
the period into account. So when we compute the percentage,
absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones
too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events
muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the
callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be
the number of raw hits.

perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless
the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the
branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on
the first branch level too.

flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages.

Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

perf: Resurrect flat callchains

2010-07-08T04:20:15+00:00

Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly.

When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but
since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random.

Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it
was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything.

This fixes segfaults and percentages followed by empty callchains
while running:

	perf report -g flat

perf: Version String fix, for fallback if not from git

2010-07-05T08:42:58+00:00

This gets rid of the default version fallback for Perf and
changes it so that it returns the version of the kernel from
it's Makefile (if sources were not from git, ie. if it was
downloaded from a tarball)
