perf tools: Add missing files to build the python binding

2012-08-21T13:31:40Z

Changeset 0f6a3015: "perf tools: Support user regs and stack in sample parsing" uses hweight_long in evsel.c, so we need to drag util/hweight.c to the python binding. Ditto for ee8dd3c: "perf tools: Change strlist to use the new rblist" where we need to add util/rblist.c. Now twatch.py works again: # export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/python/ # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py cpu: 4, pid: 23639, tid: 23639 { type: fork, pid: 30659, ppid: 23639, tid: 30659, ptid: 23639, time: 36287872076780} cpu: 5, pid: 30659, tid: 30659 { type: comm, pid: 30659, tid: 30659, comm: ls } cpu: 5, pid: 30659, tid: 30659 { type: exit, pid: 30659, ppid: 30659, tid: 30659, ptid: 30659, time: 36287873681539} cpu: 4, pid: 23639, tid: 23639 { type: fork, pid: 30660, ppid: 23639, tid: 30660, ptid: 23639, time: 36291720420480} cpu: 5, pid: 30659, tid: 30659 { type: exit, pid: 30659, ppid: 30659, tid: 30659, ptid: 30659, time: 36287873685714} cpu: 5, pid: 30660, tid: 30660 { type: comm, pid: 30660, tid: 30660, comm: git } ^C KeyboardInterrupt Reported-by: Jérôme Carretero Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-gmq82zp5blin9aml9g5tzokr@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

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

2012-08-05T10:39:12Z

Pull perf/core fixes and some late updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * Make clean brace expansion fix for some shells, from Palmer Cox * Warn user just once per guest kernel when not finding kernel info, from David Ahern * perf test fix from Jiri Olsa * Fix error handling on event creation in perf top, from David Ahern * Fix check on perf_target__strnerror, from Namhyung Kim * Save the whole cmdline, from David Ahern * Prep work for the DWARF CFI post unwinder, so that it doesn't uses perf_session in lots of places, just evlist/evsel is enough.

perf tools: Remove brace expansion from clean target

2012-08-03T13:46:32Z

The clean target uses brace expansion to remove some generated files. However, the default shells on many systems do not support this feature resulting in some generated files not being removed by clean.

perf kvm top: Limit guest kernel info message to once

2012-08-03T13:43:47Z

'perf kvm top' shows a continual flurry of: Can't find guest [5201]'s kernel information if it can't find the guest info and with a lot of VMs running a user has no chance of reading them all. Limit message to once per guest.

perf tools: Introduce intlist

2012-08-03T13:42:25Z

Built on rblist - like strlist. Used in the next patch. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343709095-7089-4-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Change strlist to use the new rblist

2012-08-03T13:39:51Z

Replaces the direct use of rbtree code with the rblist API. In the end the patch is a no-op on strlist functionality; the API for strlist is not changed, only its implementaton.

perf tools: Introducing rblist

2012-08-03T13:37:21Z

rblist is the rbtree based code from strlist. It will be the common code for strlist and the to-be-introduced intlist.

perf kvm: Use strtol for walking guestmount directory

2012-08-03T13:35:23Z

Only want to process directories under the guestmnount directory that have a pid as a name (ie, all digits). Other entries in the guestmount directory should be ignored. There is already a check that requires the first character of each entry to be a digit, but atoi is used to convert the directory name to a pid. For example if guestmount contains a directory with the name 1foo, atoi converts it to a pid of 1 and a machine is created with a pid of 1. This is wrong; this directory really should be ignored. Use strtol to do that.

perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record

2012-08-03T13:33:50Z

A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command -- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record. As an example consider the command: $ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10 Currently the command saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 (ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm). With this patch the command line saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion Signed-off-by: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343616831-6408-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf top: Error handling for counter creation should parallel perf-record

2012-08-03T13:30:18Z

5a7ed29 fixed up perf-record but not perf-top. Similar argument holds for it -- fallback to PMU only if it does not exist and handle invalid attributes separately.
