Revert "perf tools: Fix jump label always changing during tracing"

2014-07-28T14:39:18Z

This reverts commit deaff8b659cf4d34181c087b8cdf74f1eb17b02b. This commit makes CLOEXEC feature undetected for normal users, because per-cpu events are priviledged.

perf record: Store PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND only for nonempty rounds

2014-07-25T15:17:36Z

Currently we store PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event each time we go throught mmap buffers no matter if it contains any data, which is useless. Forcing the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event to be stored any time we finished the round AND wrote at least one event.

perf record: Always force PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event

2014-07-25T15:13:05Z

The PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND synthetic record governs queue flushing in reporting, so it needs to be stored for any kind of event. The lack of such periodic flushing made the tools use more memory than needed, as the reordering was being done only after processing all events. This was the case when no tracepoints were in the mix. Forcing the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event to be stored for all event types.

perf inject: Add --kallsyms parameter

2014-07-25T15:08:34Z

Let perf inject take --kallsyms parameter the same as perf script and perf report do. That is needed for decoding Instruction Trace data using a copy of /proc/kcore for the kernel object because the kallsyms path is used to locate that copy.

perf tools: Expose 'addr' functions so they can be reused

2014-07-25T15:08:34Z

Move some functions and functionality related to the use of 'addr' out of builtin-script so they can be reused. The moved functions are: is_bts_event() and sample_addr_correlates_sym() and a new function perf_event__preprocess_sample_addr() is created from bits of print_sample_addr(). perf_event__preprocess_sample_addr() is the equivalent of perf_event__preprocess_sample() but for 'addr' instead of 'ip'.

perf powerpc: Include util/util.h and remove stringify macros

2014-07-24T14:00:39Z

The stringify macros are defined in tools/perf/util/util.h and don't need to be redfined specfiically for powerpc.
