perf tools: Add general function to parse sublevel options

2020-08-14T12:15:47Z

This factors out a general function perf_parse_sublevel_options() to parse sublevel options. The 'sublevel' options is something like the '--debug' options which allow more sublevel options.

perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value

2019-11-12T11:32:27Z

Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20Z

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for places where it was only serving to get something else. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-9h6dg6lsqe2usyqjh5rrues4@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

2019-09-01T01:24:10Z

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't being obtained indirectly. This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

perf event: Remove needless include directives from event.h

2019-09-01T01:19:24Z

bpf.h and build-id.h are not needed at all in event.h, remove them. And fixup the fallout of files that were getting needed stuff from this now pruned include.

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 tools: Remove perf.h from source files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32Z

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.

perf tools: Add missing headers, mostly stdlib.h

2019-07-09T13:13:22Z

Part of the erosion of util/util.h, that will lose its include stdlib.h, we need to add it to places where it is needed but was getting it indirectly.

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

2019-06-26T00:02:47Z

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've copied. This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(), etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/ and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements are made to the original code. Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf debug: Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily

2018-03-16T19:39:02Z

When using --quiet to disable messages, we will set the 'quiet' variable to 'true' first, then check that variable to decide whether we need to call perf_quiet_option(), so no need to set 'quiet' to 'true' once more in perf_quiet_option().
