perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure

2019-09-20T18:58:11Z

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on failure instead of NULL. Test Results: Before Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 0 $ After Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 254 $ Committer notes: Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(..., session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure, but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.h

2019-08-31T22:10:19Z

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using things from this indirect include.

perf srcline: Add missing srcline.h header to files needing its defs

2019-08-26T14:58:29Z

When srcline was introduced it wrongly added the include to util/sort.h, even with that header not needing the definitions it provides, fix it by adding it to the places that need it as a pre patch to remove srcline.h from sort.h.

perf diff: Link same basic blocks among different data

2019-07-02T16:20:15Z

The target is to compare the performance difference (cycles diff) for the same basic blocks in different data files. The same basic block means same function, same start address and same end address. This patch finds the same basic blocks from different data files and link them together and resort by the cycles diff. v3: --- The block stuffs are maintained by new structure 'block_hist', so this patch is update accordingly. v2: --- Since now the basic block hists is changed to per symbol, the patch only links the basic block hists for the same symbol in different data files.

perf diff: Use hists to manage basic blocks per symbol

2019-07-02T15:47:07Z

The hist__account_cycles() can account cycles per basic block. The basic block information is saved in cycles_hist structure. This patch processes each symbol, get basic blocks from cycles_hist and add the basic block entries to a new hists (in 'struct block_hist'). Using a hists is because we need to compare, sort and print the basic blocks later. v6: --- Since 'ops' argument is removed from hists__add_entry_block, update the code accordingly. No functional change. v5: --- Since now we still carry block_info in 'struct hist_entry' we don't need to use our own new/free ops for hist entries. And the block_info is released in hist_entry__delete. v3: --- 1. In v2, we put block stuffs in 'struct hist_entry', but it's not a good design. In v3, we create a new 'struct block_hist' and cast the 'struct hist_entry' to 'struct block_hist' in some places, which can avoid adding new stuffs in 'struct hist_entry'. 2. abs() -> labs(), in block_cycles_diff_cmp(). v2: --- v1 adds the basic block entries to per data-file hists but v2 adds the basic block entries to per symbol hists. That is to keep current perf-diff format. Will show the result in next patches.
