perf tools: Add missing header, fixes build

2011-01-22T21:15:39+00:00

We need the definiton for __always_inline in bitops.h to fix the build on distros where it isn't available or compiler.h doesn't get included indirectly. One of the fixes needed to build perf on RHEL4 systems, for instance.

perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids

2010-11-26T21:39:15+00:00

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section. For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such use case. Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel, take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

perf bench: Add feature that measures the performance of the arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S memcpy routines via 'perf bench mem'

2010-11-26T07:15:57+00:00

This patch ports arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to perf bench mem memcpy for benchmarking memcpy() in userland with tricky and dirty way. util/include/asm/cpufeature.h, util/include/asm/dwarf2.h, and util/include/linux/linkage.h are mostly dummy files with small wrappers, so that we are able to include memcpy_64.S unmodified.

perf: Add back list_head data types

2010-08-12T19:50:00+00:00

This commit: de5d9bf: Move list types from to . Moved the list head data types out of list.h, breaking the build. Add them to the perf types.h as well.

perf tui: Introduce list_head based generic ui_browser refresh routine

2010-08-06T19:51:12+00:00

So that building other browser based on structures linked via a linked list can be as easy as it is already for the ones linked via an rb_tree. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER

2010-05-17T18:43:38+00:00

To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now we'll got this instead: bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘’ bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘’ Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel hackers should be already used to this. With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER. Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

perf tools: Don't use code surrounded by KERNEL

2010-05-02T15:00:44+00:00

We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

perf: Move arch specific code into separate arch directory

2010-04-22T03:48:31+00:00

The perf userspace tool included some architecture specific code to map registers from the DWARF register number into the names used by the regs and stack access API. This moves the architecture specific code out into a separate arch/x86 directory along with the infrastructure required to use it.

perf tools: Move __used from perf.h to linux/compiler.h

2010-03-26T07:52:59+00:00

Just like in the kernel and also to remove the need to include perf.h in the symbol subsystem.

perf tools: Use eprintf for pr_{err,warning,info} too

2010-03-12T09:28:36+00:00

Just like we do for pr_debug, so that we can have a single point where to redirect to the currently used output system, be it stdio or newt.
