perf script: Fix memory 'threads' and 'cpus' leaks on exit

2021-07-15T20:28:14Z

ASan reports several memory leaks while running: # perf test "82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames" Two of these are caused by some refcounts not being decreased on perf-script exit, namely script.threads and script.cpus. This patch adds the missing __put calls in a new perf_script__exit function, which is called at the end of cmd_script. This patch concludes the fixes of all remaining memory leaks in perf test "82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames".

perf script: Release zstd data

2021-07-15T20:27:52Z

ASan reports several memory leak while running: # perf test "82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames" One of the leaks is caused by zstd data not being released on exit in perf-script. This patch adds the missing zstd_fini().

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

2021-07-09T17:04:31Z

Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group interface to libperf. Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition: struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel); - get leader evsel bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader); - true if evsel has leader as leader bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel); - true if evsel is itw own leader void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader); - set leader for evsel Committer notes: Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1' tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c - if (evsel->leader->core.nr_members > 1) { + if (evsel->core.leader->nr_members > 1) { Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Requested-by: Shunsuke Nakamura Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Michael Petlan Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210706151704.73662-4-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Add option to pass arguments to dlfilters

2021-07-01T19:14:37Z

Add option --dlarg to pass arguments to dlfilters. The --dlarg option can be repeated to pass more than 1 argument.

perf script: Add option to list dlfilters

2021-07-01T19:14:37Z

Add option --list-dlfilters to list dlfilters in the current directory or the exec-path e.g. ~/libexec/perf-core/dlfilters. Use with option -v (must come before option --list-dlfilters) to show long descriptions.

perf script: Add dlfilter__filter_event_early()

2021-07-01T19:14:37Z

filter_event_early() can be more than 30% faster than filter_event() because it is called before internal filtering. In other respects it is the same as filter_event(), except that it will be passed events that have yet to be filtered out.

perf script: Add API for filtering via dynamically loaded shared object

2021-07-01T19:14:37Z

In some cases, users want to filter very large amounts of data (e.g. from AUX area tracing like Intel PT) looking for something specific. While scripting such as Python can be used, Python is 10 to 20 times slower than C. So define a C API so that custom filters can be written and loaded.

perf script: Share addr_al between functions

Share the addr_location of 'addr' so that it need not be resolved more than once.

perf script: Move filter_cpu() earlier

2021-06-22T18:15:42Z

Generally, it should be more efficient if filter_cpu() comes before machine__resolve() because filter_cpu() is much less code than machine__resolve().
