perf probe: Trivial typo fix for --demangle

2014-10-29T12:30:18Z

Replace "Disable" with "Enable", since --demangle option enables symbol demangling, not disable it. perf probe has --demangle and --no-demangle options, but the command-line help (--help) shows only --demangle option. So it should explain about --demangle.

perf tools: Fix report -F dso_from for data without branch info

perf tools: Make CPUINFO_PROC an array to support different kernel versions

2014-10-29T12:27:36Z

After kernel 3.7 (commit b4b8f770eb10a1bccaf8aa0ec1956e2dd7ed1e0a), /proc/cpuinfo replaces 'Processor' to 'model name'. This patch makes CPUINFO_PROC to an array and provides two choices for ARM, makes it compatible for different kernel version. v1 -> v2: minor changes as suggested by Namhyung Kim: - Doesn't pass @h and @evlist to __write_cpudesc; - Coding style fix. v2 -> v3: - Rebase: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414115126-7479-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf callchain: Use global caching provided by libunwind

2014-10-29T12:25:22Z

The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and per-thread. As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd sufficient to use global caching. This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file. Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.
