commit aba8d056078e47350d85b06a9cabd5afcc4b72ea upstream.
In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.
"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.

commit d11c7addfe0fa501cb54c824c0fac3481d527433 upstream.
For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for
cplus_demangle, rather than libbfd.a for bfd_demangle due to licensing insanity
on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.)
If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked against us,
since they're both in binutils-static in the buildroot.

commit 1703f2c321a8a531c393e137a82602e16c6061cb upstream.
At least on Debian PARISC64, using:
acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: hppa-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian
4.3.4-6' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr
--enable-shared --enable-multiarch --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.3 --program-suffix=-4.3 --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-objc-gc --enable-mpfr --disable-libssp --enable-checking=release --build=hppa-linux-gnu --host=hppa-linux-gnu --target=hppa-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-6)
there are issues about using 'gcc -o /dev/null':
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
So we test that and use /dev/null in environments where it
works, while using an .INTERMEDIATE file on those where it can't
be used, so that the .perf.dev.null file can be used instead and
then deleted when make exits.

commit 81516c5fc83a13a1d12f466aa7e14f5fd62a63ce upstream.
gcc with no flags typically is a sane default for systems to
use, and looking at the running kernel is probably broken for
cross-builds anyway, so let's not do this. Add EXTRA_CFLAGS so
that users can override default gcc mode if they want to.

commit 751386507701010831d72c522171753d2cd903d2 upstream.
This makes it possible to build perf statically, by
performing:
make LDFLAGS=-static
Since static libraries are only searched in the order they are
specified, move library list from LDFLAGS to EXTLIBS, so that
they are put at the end of linker command line.

commit 5d7bdab75cd56d2bdc0986ae5546be3b09fea70a upstream.
Some architectures (e.g. Alpha) do not support the
-fstack-protector-all compiler option and the use of the option
with -Werror causes the compiler to abort and the build fails.
Test that the compiler supports -fstack-protector-all before

commit 5225c45899e872383ca39f5533d28ec63c54b39e upstream.
Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.
The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

commit 97aa1052739c6a06cb6b0467dbf410613d20bc97 upstream.
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:

This can produce unexpected results. For example:

The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
not root which results in a very confusing error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f
Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f

[from KS feedback]
Currently, scheduler delays are shown in a mostly transparent,
light yellow color. This color is rather hard to see on several
screens, especially projectors.
This patch changes the color of the scheduler delays to be a
much more "hard" yellow that survived the kernel summit
projector.

as falling back to just showing the PID if no name for the

Randy Dunlap reported that 'make NO_64BIT=1' fails to build
a pure 32-b it binary on 64-bit/64-bit x86 systems.
The reason is that we dont pass in the -m32 and GCC defaults
to -m64.
So pass it in - and also extend the warning message about libelf
dependencies - glibc-dev[el] is needed as well beyond the libelf
library.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really
zero sized, and as now we do kernel_maps__fixup_sym_end, at least
for kernel routines this gets fixed.
A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well,
but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't
have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.

Right now generate-cmdlist.sh is not executable, so we
should call it as an argument ".".
This fixes cases where due to different umask defaults
the generate-cmdlist.sh script is not executable in
a kernel tree checkout.

For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a
HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting.
This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.
As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

openat() is still a young glibc facility, better to not use it in a
non performance critical program (perf list)
Many machines have older glibc (RHEL 4 Update 5 -> glibc-2.3.4-2.36

Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Tweak the output SVG to increase performance in SVG viewers by
limiting the different types of font sizes and by smarter
transformations on the text.
At least with Inkscape this gives a notable performance improvement

This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the
user to specify the width of the SVG file.
This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at
least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts
recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second
will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording
(as before).

Be more consistent in the svghelper about the minimum text size
by having a global #define for this.
There needs to be a minimum text size in order to keep the size

timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system.
The user makes a trace of what is going on with
> perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command
and then can turn the output of this into an svg file
> perf timechart
which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well
enough for me.
The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable"
picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom
level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a
specific area.
