perf tools: Experiment with cppcheck

2016-10-03T14:24:13Z

Experimenting a bit using cppcheck[1], a static checker brought to my attention by Colin, reducing the scope of some variables, reducing the line of source code lines in the process: $ cppcheck --enable=style tools/perf/util/thread.c Checking tools/perf/util/thread.c... [tools/perf/util/thread.c:17]: (style) The scope of the variable 'leader' can be reduced. [tools/perf/util/thread.c:133]: (style) The scope of the variable 'err' can be reduced. [tools/perf/util/thread.c:273]: (style) The scope of the variable 'err' can be reduced. Will continue later, but these are already useful, keep them. 1: https://sourceforge.net/p/cppcheck/wiki/Home/ Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Colin Ian King Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ixws7lbycihhpmq9cc949ti6@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

2016-09-05T14:14:50Z

We're not using it anymore, few users were, but we really could do without it, simplify lots of functions by removing it.

perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map

2016-07-26T19:46:12Z

At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the start address of the '.text' section. In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT' relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol resolution for modules. Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing '/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.

perf machine: Destructors should accept NULL

2016-06-22T13:19:11Z

And do nothing, just like free(), to avoid having to test it in callers, usually in error paths.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160607' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

2016-06-08T07:34:15Z

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation. (He Kuang) - Fix crash in build_id_cache__kallsyms_path(), recent regression (Wang Nan) Infrastructure changes: - Make tools/lib/bpf use the IS_ERR return facility consistently and also stop using the _get_ term for non-reference count methods (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - 'perf config' refactorings (Taeung Song) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf unwind: Move unwind__prepare_access from thread_new into thread__insert_map

2016-06-07T15:08:52Z

To determine the libunwind methods to use, we should get the 32bit/64bit information from maps of a thread. When a thread is newly created, the information is not prepared. This patch moves unwind__prepare_access() into thread__insert_map() so we can get the information we need from maps. Meanwhile, let thread__insert_map() return value and show messages on error.

perf callchain: Stop validating callchains by the max_stack sysctl

2016-05-20T14:43:56Z

As thread__resolve_callchain_sample can be used for handling perf.data files, that could've been recorded with a large max_stack sysctl setting than what the system used for analysis has set.
