tools: Move utilities.mak from perf to tools/scripts/

2016-03-18T16:57:20Z

As it is used by several other tools, better move it outside tools/perf. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-34s9kue3xq9w5mijdmfrfx8s@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib api fs: Add sysfs__read_str function

2016-02-16T20:12:57Z

Adding sysfs__read_str function to ease up reading string files from sysfs. New interface is: int sysfs__read_str(const char *entry, char **buf, size_t *sizep); Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455465826-8426-4-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib api fs: Adopt filename__read_str from perf

2016-02-16T20:12:56Z

We already moved similar functions in here, also it'll be useful for sysfs__read_str addition in following patch.

tools lib api: Add debug output support

2016-02-16T20:12:56Z

Adding support for warning/info/debug output within libapi code. Adding following macros: pr_warning(fmt, ...) pr_info(fmt, ...) pr_debug(fmt, ...) Also adding libapi_set_print function to set above functions. This will be used in perf to set standard debug handlers for libapi. Adding 2 header files: debug.h - to be used outside libapi, contains libapi_set_print interface debug-internal.h - to be used within libapi, contains pr_warning/pr_info/pr_debug definitions Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455465826-8426-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib api fs: No need to use PATH_MAX + 1

2015-10-05T19:12:09Z

Because there's no point, PATH_MAX is big enough. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Don Zickus Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444068369-20978-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools build: Build fixdep helper from perf and basic libs

2015-09-28T18:50:55Z

Adding the fixdep target into the Makefile.include to ease up building of fixdep helper, that needs to be built before we dive in to the build itself. The user can invoke the fixdep target to build the helper.

tools build: Add Makefile.include

2015-09-28T18:50:54Z

To ease up build framework code setup for users. More shared code will be added in the following patches.

tools lib api fs: Store tracing mountpoint for better error message

2015-09-28T18:50:54Z

Storing the actual tracing path mountpoint to display correct error message hint ('Hint:' line). The error hint rediscovers mountpoints, but it could be different from what we actually used in tracing path. Before we'd display debugfs mount even though tracefs was used: $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava' \___ can't access trace events Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug' ... After this change, correct mountpoint is displayed: $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava' \___ can't access trace events Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing' ...

tools lib api cpu: Introduce cpu.[ch] to obtain cpu related information

2015-09-14T15:50:26Z

E.g.: $ ./cpu__get_max_freq 3200000 It does that, as Kan's patch does, by looking at these files: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online 0-3 $ ./sysfs__read_ull devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq=3200000 $ I.e. find out the first online CPU, then read its cpufreq info. But do it in tools/lib/api/, so that other tools/ living code can use it, not just perf.
