perf tools: Identify which comms are from exec

2014-08-13T22:23:08+00:00

For grouping together all the data from a single execution, which is needed for pairing calls and returns e.g. any outstanding calls when a process exec's will never return.

perf tools: Add cpu to struct thread

2014-07-23T14:27:50+00:00

Tools may wish to track on which cpu a thread is running. Add 'cpu' to struct thread for that purpose. This will be used to determine the cpu when decoding a per-thread Instruction Trace. E.g: Intel PT decoding uses sched_switch events to determine which task is running on which cpu. The Intel PT data comes straight from the hardware which doesn't know about linux threads.

perf tools: Share map_groups among threads of the same group

2014-04-28T11:43:33+00:00

Sharing map groups within all process threads. This way there's only one copy of mmap info and it's reachable from any thread within the process.

perf tools: Allocate thread map_groups's dynamically

2014-04-28T11:43:20+00:00

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads. Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No other functional change is intended in here. Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor, introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and call at thread creation time. Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

perf symbols: Introduce thread__find_cpumode_addr_location

2014-03-14T21:08:40+00:00

Its one level up thread__find_addr_location, where it will look in different domains for a sample: user, kernel, hypervisor, etc. Will soon be used by a patchkit by Andi Kleen.

perf tools: Finish the removal of 'self' arguments

2013-11-05T18:32:36+00:00

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more sensibly.

perf tools: Get current comm instead of last one

perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructure

2013-11-04T15:13:53+00:00

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features: 1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events. As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork. 2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort infrastructure.
