perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()

2021-08-02T13:06:51Z

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others passes 'false'. Let's remove it from the function signature and add __perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly. This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.

libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx

2021-07-09T17:04:28Z

Move evsel::idx to perf_evsel::idx, so we can move the group interface to libperf. Committer notes: Fixup evsel->idx usage in tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c, that appeared in my tree in my local tree. Also fixed up these: $ find tools/perf/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evsel->idx' tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx + i); tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx); $ That running 'make -C tools/perf build-test' caught.

perf diff: Don't crash on freeing errno-session on the error path

2021-03-06T19:54:25Z

__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session. In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with: failed to open perf.data: Permission denied Failed to open perf.data Segmentation fault (core dumped) From the coredump: 0 0x00005569a62b5955 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2681 1 0x00005569a626b37d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:295 2 perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:291 3 0x00005569a618008a in __cmd_diff () at builtin-diff.c:1239 4 cmd_diff (argc=, argv=) at builtin-diff.c:2011 [..] Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line. Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete(). Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it, but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function. After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.
