perf python: Include rwsem.c in the pythong biding

2020-04-03T12:37:55Z

We'll need it for the cgroup patches, and its better to have it in a separate patch in case we need to later revert the cgroup patches. I.e. without this we have: [root@five ~]# perf test -v python 19: 'import perf' in python : --- start --- test child forked, pid 148447 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: down_write test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- 'import perf' in python: FAILED!

perf affinity: Add infrastructure to save/restore affinity

2019-11-28T11:08:38Z

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs. An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU. Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model. Used in followon patches. Committer notes: Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor coding style changes.

perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h

2019-09-25T19:26:34Z

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can reduce evsel.h a bit more. We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present

2019-08-14T13:48:39Z

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss. Make perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el], fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

libperf: Adopt xyarray class from perf

2019-07-29T21:34:45Z

Move the xyarray class from perf to libperf, because it's going to be used in both.

libperf: Move zalloc.o into libperf

2019-07-29T21:34:45Z

We need it in both perf and libperf, thus moving it to libperf.

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 evsel: Fix swap for samples with raw data

2017-12-27T15:15:56Z

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing. It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which are different. We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report showing wrong data: 1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000 1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000 Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other endianity. 2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002 2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000 The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is detected.
