perf env: Rename some leftovers from rename to perf_env

2015-09-14T15:50:20+00:00

In ce80d3bef9ff ("perf tools: Rename perf_session_env to perf_env") we forgot to rename a few functions to the "perf_env" prefix, do it now.

perf annotate: Reset the dso find_symbol cache when removing symbols

2015-08-24T16:33:14+00:00

The 'annotate' tool does some filtering in the entries in a DSO but forgot to reset the cache done in dso__find_symbol(), cauxing a SEGV: [root@zoo ~]# perf annotate netlink_poll perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x526ceb] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x34960)[0x7faedfbe0960] perf(rb_erase+0x223)[0x499d63] perf[0x4213e9] perf[0x4bc123] perf[0x4bc621] perf[0x4bf26b] perf[0x4bc855] perf(perf_session__process_events+0x340)[0x4bddc0] perf(cmd_annotate+0x6bb)[0x421b5b] perf[0x479063] perf(main+0x60a)[0x42098a] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7faedfbcbfe0] perf[0x420aa9] [0x0] [root@zoo ~]# Fix it by reseting the find cache when removing symbols.

perf callchain: Allow disabling call graphs per event

perf report: Add infrastructure for a cycles histogram

2015-08-06T19:32:45+00:00

This adds the basic infrastructure to keep track of cycle counts per basic block for annotate. We allocate an array similar to the normal accounting, and then account branch cycles there. We handle two cases: cycles per basic block with start and cycles per branch (these are later used for either IPC or just cycles per BB) In the start case we cannot handle overlaps, so always the longest basic block wins. For the cycles per branch case everything is accurately accounted. v2: Remove unnecessary checks. Slight restructure. Move symbol__get_annotation to another patch. Move histogram allocation. v3: Merged with current tree Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1437233094-12844-4-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf annotate: Display total number of samples with --show-total-period

2015-06-19T19:39:18+00:00

To compare two records on an instruction base, with --show-total-period option provided, display total number of samples that belong to a line in assembly language. New hot key 't' is introduced for 'perf annotate' TUI.

perf tools: Check if a map is still in use when deleting it

2015-05-27T23:27:16+00:00

I.e. match RB_CLEAR_NODE() with RB_EMPTY_NODE(), to check that it isn't in a rb tree at the time of its deletion.

perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

2015-05-08T19:19:27+00:00

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from concurrent access. That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references it. So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel, get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock, return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed, keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing that data structure. I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and "perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)". The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at addr_location__put() time.
