perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward

2016-05-20T17:54:23+00:00

Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is overwritable. The following commits will support syntax like: # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ... An overwritable evsel requires kernel support for the perf_event_attr.write_backward ring buffer feature. Add it to perf_missing_feature.

perf evsel: Require that callchains be resolved before calling fprintf_{sym,callchain}

2016-04-14T22:46:56+00:00

This way the print routine merely does printing, not requiring access to the resolving machinery, which helps disentangling the object files and easing creating subsets with a limited functionality set.

perf evsel: Move some methods from session.[ch] to evsel.[ch]

Those were converted to be evsel methods long ago, move the source to where it belongs. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Milian Wolff Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-vja8rjmkw3gd5ungaeyb5s2j@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Rename config_callgraph() to config_callchain() and make it public

2016-04-12T01:18:23+00:00

The rename is for consistency with the parameter name. Make it public for fine grained control of which evsels should have callchains enabled, like, for instance, will be done in the next changesets in 'perf trace', to enable callchains just on the "raw_syscalls:sys_exit" tracepoint.

perf evsel: Do not use globals in config()

2016-04-12T01:18:20+00:00

Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed. This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist gets callchains enabled.

perf evsel: Introduce fprintf_callchain() method out of fprintf_sym()

2016-04-12T01:18:18+00:00

In 'perf trace' we're just interested in printing callchains, and we don't want to use the symbol_conf.use_callchain, so move the callchain part to a new method.

perf tools: Fix perf script python database export crash

2016-03-09T13:31:02+00:00

Remove the union in evsel so that the database id and priv pointer can be used simultainously without conflicting and crashing. Detailed Description for the fixed bug follows: perf script crashes with a segmentation fault on user space tool version 4.5.rc7.ge2857b when using the python database export API. It works properly in 4.4 and prior versions. the crash fist appeared in: cfc8874a4859 ("perf script: Process cpu/threads maps") How to reproduce the bug: Remove any temporary files left over from a previous crash (if you have already attemped to reproduce the bug): $ rm -r test_db-perf-data $ dropdb test_db $ perf record timeout 1 yes >/dev/null $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py test_db Stack Trace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. __GI___libc_free (mem=0x1) at malloc.c:2929 2929 malloc.c: No such file or directory.
