tools: Introduce tools/include/linux/time64.h for SEC_PER_SEC macros

2016-08-23T18:37:33+00:00

And remove it from tools/perf/{perf,util}.h, making code that needs these macros to include linux/time64.h instead, to match how this is used in the kernel sources.

perf tools: Make is_printable_array global

2016-07-18T22:49:47+00:00

It's used from 2 objects in perf, so it's better to keep just one copy.

perf tests: Fix hist accumulation test

2016-07-04T22:39:01+00:00

User's values from .perfconfig could overload the default callchain setup and cause this test to fail. Making sure the test is using default callchain_param values.

perf tools: Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly

2016-06-14T12:29:54+00:00

Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two changes; - Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink. - Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory), including symlink. Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.

perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace

2016-05-17T02:11:54+00:00

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc}, while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace. So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

perf tools: Fix lsdir to set errno correctly

2016-05-11T16:06:05+00:00

Fix lsdir() to set correct positive error number (ENOMEM). Since "errno" must have a positive error number instead of negative number, fix lsdir to set it correctly.

perf callchain: Recording 'dwarf' callchains do not need DWARF unwinding support

2016-05-09T16:29:36+00:00

There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the 'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done in another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be present.

perf tools: Set the maximum allowed stack from /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack

2016-04-27T13:29:07+00:00

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain, and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel, PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl, make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

perf tools: Add lsdir() helper to read a directory

2016-04-26T16:14:55+00:00

As a utility function, add lsdir() which reads given directory and store entry name into a strlist. lsdir accepts a filter function so that user can filter out unneeded entries.

perf tools: Make binary data printer code in trace_event public available

2016-02-24T14:38:01+00:00

Move code printing binray data from trace_event() to utils.c and allows passing different printer. Further commits will use this logic to print bpf output event.
