perf annotate: Fix fused instr logic for assembly functions

2021-09-18T20:43:05+00:00

Some x86 microarchitectures fuse a subset of cmp/test/ALU instructions with branch instructions, and thus perf annotate highlight such valid pairs as fused. When annotated with source, perf uses struct disasm_line to contain either source or instruction line from objdump output. Usually, a C statement generates multiple instructions which include such cmp/test/ALU + branch instruction pairs. But in case of assembly function, each individual assembly source line generate one instruction. The 'perf annotate' instruction fusion logic assumes the previous disasm_line as the previous instruction line, which is wrong because, for assembly function, previous disasm_line contains source line. And thus perf fails to highlight valid fused instruction pairs for assembly functions. Fix it by searching backward until we find an instruction line and consider that disasm_line as fused with current branch instruction.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for places where it was only serving to get something else. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-9h6dg6lsqe2usyqjh5rrues4@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove perf.h from source files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.

perf ui browser: Allow specifying message to show when no samples are available to display

2019-08-20T15:22:18+00:00

The 'perf top' tool will use that to avoid having a initial blank screen while collecting the minimum number of samples to sort and display.

perf tools: Fix include paths in ui directory

2019-08-08T18:41:11+00:00

These paths point to the wrong location but still work because they get picked up by a -I flag that happens to direct to the correct file. Fix paths to point to the correct location without -I flags.

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

2019-06-26T00:02:47+00:00

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've copied. This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(), etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/ and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements are made to the original code. Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf ui browser: Fix ui popup argv browser for many entries

2019-03-11T19:33:20+00:00

Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit the display function correctly. Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser. Committer testing: 1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines 2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options in the menu 3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash: # perf report --samples 1 perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x5a514a] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x385bf)[0x7f27281b55bf] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x161a67)[0x7f27282dea67] /lib64/libslang.so.2(SLsmg_write_wrapped_string+0x82)[0x7f272874a0b2] perf(ui_browser__argv_refresh+0x77)[0x5939a7] perf[0x5924cc] perf(ui_browser__run+0x39)[0x593449] perf(ui__popup_menu+0x83)[0x5a5263] perf[0x59f421] perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x3a0)[0x5a3780] perf(cmd_report+0x2746)[0x447136] perf[0x4a95fe] perf(main+0x61c)[0x42dc6c] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf2)[0x7f27281a1412] perf(_start+0x2d)[0x42de9d] # After applying this patch no crash takes place in such situation.

perf ui browser: Fixup cleaning unused lines at the bottom

2018-04-05T14:51:28+00:00

Now that we can have extra title lines we should use ui_browser->rows and not ->height when drawing lines, as well as adding ui_browser->extra_title_lines to browser->y when cleaning unused lines at the bottom, otherwise we end up clobbering with spaces the last line just shown by ui_browser->refresh() routine.
