tools lib fd array: Allow associating an integer cookie with each entry

2014-09-25T19:46:55Z

We will use this in perf's evlist class so that it can, at fdarray__filter() time, to unmap the associated ring buffer. We may need to have further info associated with each fdarray entry, in that case we'll make that int array a 'union fdarray_priv' one and put a pointer there so that users can stash whatever they want there. For now, an int is enough tho. v2: Add clarification to the per array entry priv area, as well as make it a union, which makes usage a bit longer, but if/when we make it use more space by allowing per entry pointers existing users source code will not have to be changed, just rebuilt.

tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist

2014-09-25T19:46:55Z

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it. v2: Don't use {} like in: libapi_dirs: $(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/ in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10. v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

perf tools: Remove extra '/' character in events file path

2014-04-30T15:02:24Z

The array debugfs_known_mountpoints[] will cause extra '/' character output. Remove it. pre: $ perf probe -l /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/uprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS. post: $ perf probe -l /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS.

perf tools: Move fs.* to lib/api/fs/

2014-02-18T12:34:49Z

Move to generic library and kill magic.h as it is needed only in fs.h.

tools/: Convert to new topic libraries

2013-12-16T19:03:27Z

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs. For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and tools/vm/page-types. acme: "Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether. But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/ cherrypicking that toolers can make use of." Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.
