perf header: Fix possible memory leaks in process_group_desc()

2013-11-19T13:34:05+00:00

After processing all group descriptors or encountering an error, it frees all descriptors. However, current logic can leak memory since it might not traverse all descriptors. Note that the 'i' can have different value than nr_groups when an error occurred and it's safe to call free(desc[i].name) for every desc since we already make it NULL when it's reused for group names.

perf header: Fix bogus group name

2013-11-19T13:33:57+00:00

When processing event group descriptor in perf file header, we reuse an allocated group name but forgot to prevent it from freeing.

perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructor

2013-11-11T18:56:39+00:00

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need for passing the constructor for the common case. We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled, with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist, partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list. This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx setting.

perf session: Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file

2013-10-04T18:17:46+00:00

perf-record updates the header in the perf.data file at termination. Without this update perf-report (and other processing built-ins) it caused an infinite loop when perf report (or something like) called. This is because the algorithm in __perf_session__process_events() depends on the data_size which is read from file header. Use file size directly instead in this case to do the best-effort processing.

perf tools: Fix buildid cache handling of kallsyms with kcore

2013-09-19T14:32:17+00:00

When kallsyms is used with kcore the dso long_name becomes the kcore file name. That prevents the buildid cache from caching kallsyms. (There is no support at present for caching kcore). Fix by changing it so that the kallsyms name is used in that case instead.

perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support

2013-09-11T13:09:32+00:00

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record. It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and the inode number and generation. This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for instance. The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

perf tools: Improve robustness of topology parsing code

2013-08-14T14:42:53+00:00

This patch improves the robustness of the build_cpu_topo() routine by allowing either the CPU parsing or the thread parsing to fail and yet get perf to produce some topology data which could be useful for the analysis. Without this patch, if the cpu parsing fails, the thread parsing is not attempted vice-versa.
