perf debug: Add function symbols to dump_stack

2025-06-25T17:59:19+00:00

Symbolize stack traces by creating a live machine. Add this functionality to dump_stack and switch dump_stack users to use it. Switch TUI to use it. Add stack traces to the child test function which can be useful to diagnose blocked code. Example output: ``` $ perf test -vv PERF_RECORD_ ... 7: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields: 7: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : Running (1 active) ^C Signal (2) while running tests.

perf TUI: Don't ignore job control

2024-01-04T21:29:17+00:00

In its infinite wisdom, by default, SLang sets susp undef, and this can only be un-done by calling SLtty_set_suspend_state(true). After every SLang_init_tty(). Additionally, no provisions are made for maintaining the teletype attributes across suspend/continue (outside of curses emulation mode(?!), which provides full support, naturally), so we need to save and restore the flags ourselves, as well as reset the text colours when going under. We need to also re-draw the screen, and raising SIGWINCH, shockingly, Just Works. The correct solution would be to Not Use SLang, but as a stop-gap, this makes TUI 'perf report' usable.

perf tui slang: Tidy casts

2023-08-25T13:24:55+00:00

Casts were necessary for older versions of libslang, however, these are now 15 years old and so we no longer need to care about supporting them. Tidy the casts and remove unnecessary logic. Move the ENABLE_SLFUTURE_CONST to the libslang.h common include file, and also enable ENABLE_SLFUTURE_VOID.

SLsmg_reset_smg() resets the SLsmg screen management routines by freeing all memory allocated while it was active. However SLsmg_reinit_smg() maybe be called by another thread. SLsmg_reinit_smg() will free the same memory accessed by SLsmg_reset_smg(), thus it results in a double free. SLsmg_reinit_smg() is called already protected by ui__lock, so we fix the problem by adding pthread_mutex_trylock of ui__lock when calling SLsmg_reset_smg().

tools ui popup: Allow returning hotkeys

2020-01-06T14:46:10+00:00

With this patch if an optional pointer is passed to ui__popup_menu() then when any key that is not being handled (ENTER, ESC, etc) is typed, it'll record that key in the pointer and return, allowing for hotkey processing on the caller. If NULL is passed, no change in logic, unhandled keys continue to be ignored.

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

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

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available, and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many more. Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.
