perf symbols: Make sym->end be the first address after the symbol range

2014-10-14T20:50:58+00:00

To follow vm_area_struct->vm_end convention. By adhering to the convention that ->end is the first address outside the symbol's range we can do things like: sym->end = start + len; len = sym->end - sym->start; This is also now the convention used for struct map->end, fixing some off-by-one bugs.

perf annotate: Don't truncate Intel style addresses

2014-08-15T13:39:26+00:00

Instructions like "mov r9,QWORD PTR [rdx+0x8]" were being truncated to "mov r9,QWORD" by code that assuemd operands cannot have spaces.

perf symbols: Make sure --symfs usage includes the path separator

2014-07-31T12:58:21+00:00

Minchan reported that perf failed to load vmlinux if --symfs argument doesn't end with '/' character. Fix it by making sure that the '/' path separator is used when composing pathnames with a --symfs provided directory name.

perf annotate: Print the evsel name in the stdio output

2014-03-18T21:17:03+00:00

So that when showing multiple events annotations, we can figure out which is which: # perf record -a -e instructions,cycles sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.826 MB perf.data (~36078 samples) ] # perf evlist instructions cycles # perf annotate intel_idle 2> /dev/null | head -1 Percent | Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for instructions # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-n1r51l329434js84qtb2c6l9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf annotate: Check availability of annotate when processing samples

2014-02-24T14:12:55+00:00

The TUI of perf report and top support annotation, but stdio and GTK don't. So it should be checked before calling hist_entry__inc_addr_ samples() to avoid wasting resources that will never be used. perf annotate need it regardless of UI and sort keys, so the check of whether to allocate resources should be on the tools that have annotate as an option in the TUI, 'report' and 'top', not on the function called by all of them. It caused perf annotate on ppc64 to produce zero output, since the buckets were not being allocated.

perf tools: Use zfree to help detect use after free bugs

2013-12-27T20:08:19+00:00

Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to consistently use it elsewhere.

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00+00:00

For the frequent idiom of: free(ptr); ptr = NULL; Make it expect a pointer to the pointer being freed, so that it becomes clear at first sight that the variable being freed is being modified.

perf annotate: Make symbol__inc_addr_samples private

perf annotate: Add inc_samples method to addr_map_symbol

2013-12-19T14:34:19+00:00

Since there are three calls that could receive just the struct addr_map_symbol pointer and call the symbol method.
