perf stat: Fix aggreate counter reading accounting

2011-02-03T19:26:06+00:00

Introduced in: c52b12ed, when this sequence:

  count[0] = count[1] = count[2] = 0;

Was replaced with:

  aggr->val = 0;

Which is equivalent to zeroing just the first entry in the 'count'
array.

Fix it by zeroing the three entries with:

  aggr->val = aggr->ena = aggr->run = 0;

perf tools: Fix time function double declaration with glibc

2011-01-22T21:53:00+00:00

It's enough to include the local "debug.h" file to trigger it.

man time reveals this is already declared in glibc:

time - get time in seconds
-> rename the variable.

perf tools: Fix build by checking if extra warnings are supported

2011-01-22T21:29:53+00:00

The -Wstack-protector and -Wvolatile-register-var warnings, for
instance, are not supported by gcc 3.4.6.

So fix by doing the same check we already do for -fstack-protector-all.

With this and the other patches in this series, perf builds unmodified
on, for instance, RHEL4.

perf tools: Add missing header, fixes build

2011-01-22T21:15:39+00:00

We need the definiton for __always_inline in bitops.h to fix the build
on distros where it isn't available or compiler.h doesn't get included
indirectly.

One of the fixes needed to build perf on RHEL4 systems, for instance.

perf tools: Fix 64 bit integer format strings

2011-01-23T01:41:57+00:00

Using %L[uxd] has issues in some architectures, like on ppc64.  Fix it
by making our 64 bit integers typedefs of stdint.h types and using
PRI[ux]64 like, for instance, git does.

Reported by Denis Kirjanov that provided a patch for one case, I went
and changed all cases.

perf test: Fix build on older glibcs

2011-01-23T01:14:20+00:00

Where we don't have CPU_ALLOC & friends. As the tools are being used in older
distros where the only allowed change are to replace the kernel, like RHEL4 and
5.

perf test: Use cpu_map->[cpu] when setting affinity

2011-01-21T18:44:14+00:00

When some of CPUs are offline:

 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
 0,6-31

perf test will fail on #3 testcase:

   3: detect open syscall event on all cpus:

   perf_evsel__read_on_cpu: expected to intercept 121 calls on cpu 10, got 126
   ....

This patch try to use 'cpus->map[cpu]' when setting cpu affinity, and
will check the return code of sched_setaffinity()

perf symbols: Fix annotation of thumb code

2011-01-21T18:32:18+00:00

In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.

The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.

Many thinks to Dave Martin for comments on an initial version of the
patch.
