2015-06-08perf tools: Reference count struct dsoArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes: there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so' DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or other resources. So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it, which will leave only referenced objects being used.

2015-05-29perf machine: Introduce machine__findnew_dso() methodArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Similar to machine__findnew_thread(), also prepping for refcounting and locking, this time for struct dso instances.

2015-05-29perf machine: No need to have two DSOs listsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We can, given a DSO, figure out if it is a kernel, a kernel module or a userlevel DSO, so stop having to process two lists in several functions. If searching becomes an issue at some point, we can have them in a rbtree, etc. Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-s4yb0onpdywu6dj2xl9lxi4t@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2015-05-08perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlockArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from concurrent access. That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references it. So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel, get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock, return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed, keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing that data structure. I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and "perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)". The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at addr_location__put() time.

2014-06-01perf tests: Define and use symbolic names for fake symbolsNamhyung Kim
In various histogram test cases, fake symbols are used as raw numbers. Define macros for each pid, map, symbols so that it can increase readability somewhat.

With new output fields option, its internal implementation was changed so add a new testcase to verify whether it breaks things.

2014-05-21perf tests: Factor out print_hists_*()Namhyung Kim
Those print helper functions can be reused by later hist test cases so factor them out to a common location. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1400480762-22852-20-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
2014-04-28perf tests: Factor out fake_setup_machine()Namhyung Kim
The fake_setup_machine() is for setting up a environment for testing various hists operations. As it'll be used for other test cases it'd better factoring it out.
