perf ordered-events: Event processing consistency with the regular reader

2026-04-03T02:35:16+00:00

Some event processing functions like perf_event__process_tracing_data return a zero or positive value on success. Ordered event processing handles any non-zero value as an error, which is inconsistent with reader__process_events and reader__read_event that only treat negative values as errors. Make the ordered events error handling consistent with that of the events reader. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

tools: Rename __fallthrough to fallthrough

2023-04-07T00:41:00+00:00

Rename the fallthrough attribute to better align with the kernel version. Copy the definition from include/linux/compiler_attributes.h including the #else clause. Adding the #else clause allows the tools compiler.h header to drop the check for a definition entirely and keeps both definitions together. Change any __fallthrough statements to fallthrough anywhere it was used within perf. This allows other tools to use the same key word as the kernel. Committer notes: Did some missing conversions to: builtin-list.c Also included gtk.h before the 'fallthrough' definition in: tools/perf/ui/gtk/hists.c tools/perf/ui/gtk/helpline.c tools/perf/ui/gtk/browser.c As it is the arg name for a macro in glib.h: /var/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:16:55: error: missing binary operator before token "(" 16 | # define fallthrough __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) | ^ /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:637:28: note: in expansion of macro ‘fallthrough’ 637 | #if g_macro__has_attribute(fallthrough) Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda Signed-off-by: Liam Howlett Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Miguel Ojeda Cc: Nathan Chancellor Cc: Nick Desaulniers Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Cc: Tom Rix Cc: linux-sparse@vger.kernel.org Cc: llvm@lists.linux.dev Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221125154947.2163498-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
