perf script: Show text poke address symbol

2020-07-10T11:39:14+00:00

It is generally more useful to show the symbol with an address. In this case, the print function requires the 'machine' which means changing callers to provide it as a parameter. It is optional because most events do not need it and the callers that matter can provide it. Committer notes: Made 'union perf_event' continue to be the first parameter to the perf_event__fprintf() and perf_event__fprintf_text_poke() events.

perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE

2020-07-10T11:20:01+00:00

Add processing for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events. When a text poke event is processed, then the kernel dso data cache is updated with the poked bytes.

perf script: Avoid NULL dereference on symbol

al->sym may be NULL given current if conditions and may cause a segv.

perf script: Allow --symbol to accept hexadecimal addresses

2020-04-03T12:37:56+00:00

This patch extends the perf script --symbols option to filter on hexadecimal addresses in addition to symbol names. This makes it easier to handle cases where symbols are aliased. With this patch, it is possible to mix and match symbols and hexadecimal addresses using the --symbols option. $ perf script --symbols=noploop,0x4007a0 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200325220802.15039-1-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Basic support for CGROUP event

2020-04-03T12:37:55+00:00

Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking. Each cgroup can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too. The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

perf maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'

2019-11-26T14:07:46+00:00

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'. The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things, sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to the variables one. That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs. First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-hom6639ro7020o708trhxh59@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add map_groups to 'struct addr_location'

2019-11-12T11:20:53+00:00

From there we can get al->mg->machine, so replace that field with the more useful 'struct map_groups' that for now we're obtaining from al->map->groups, and that is one thing getting into the way of maps being fully shareable.
