2010-08-04perf: expose event__process functionSrikar Dronamraju
The event__process function is useful in processing /proc/<pid>/maps. All of the functions that are called from event__process are defined in util/event.c. Though its defined in builtin-top.c, it could be reused for perf probe for uprobes. Hence moving it to util/event.c and exporting the function.

2010-08-04perf events: Fix mmap offset determinationDave Martin
Fix buggy-looking code which unnecessarily adjusts the file offset fields read from /proc/*/maps. This may have gone unnoticed since the offset is usually 0 (and the logic in util/symbol.c may work incorrectly for other offset values). Commiter note: This fixes a bug introduced in 4af8b35, there is no need to shift pgoff twice, the show_map_vma routine in fs/proc/task_mmu.c already converts it from the number of pages to the size in bytes, and that is what appears in /proc/PID/map.

2010-08-02perf session: Invalidate last_match when removing threads from rb_treeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
If we receive two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread, we can end up reusing session->last_match and trying to remove the thread twice from the rb_tree, causing a segfault, so invalidade last_match in perf_session__remove_thread. Receiving two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread is a bug, but its a harmless one if we make the tool more robust, like this patch does.

2010-08-02perf session: Free the ref_reloc_sym memory at the right placeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Which is at perf_session__destroy_kernel_maps, counterpart to the perf_session__create_kernel_maps where the kmap structure is located, just after the vmlinux_maps. Make it also check if the kernel maps were actually created, which may not be the case if, for instance, perf_session__new can't complete due to permission problems in, for instance, a 'perf report' case, when a segfault will take place, that is how this was noticed. The problem was introduced in d65a458, thus post .35. This also adds code to release guest machines as them are also created in perf_session__create_kernel_maps, so should be deleted on this newly introduced counterpart, perf_session__destroy_kernel_maps.

2010-07-30perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXITArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much. Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit (PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received. For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be done in a followup patch. Cc: David S.

2010-07-30perf symbols: Improve debug image search when loading symbolsDave Martin
Changes: * Simplification of the main search loop on dso__load() * Replace the search with a 2-pass search: * First, try to find an image with a proper symtab. * Second, repeat the search, accepting dynsym. A second scan should only ever happen when needed debug images are missing from the buildid cache or stale, i.e., when the cache is out of sync. Currently, the second scan also happens when using separated debug images, since the caching logic doesn't currently know how to cache those. Improvements to the cache behaviour ought to solve that.

2010-07-30perf tools: Factor out buildid reading and make it implicit in dso__loadDave Martin
If we have a buildid, then we never want to load an image which has no buildid, or which has a different buildid, so it makes sense for the check to be built into dso__load and not done separately. This is fine for old distros which don't use buildid at all since we do no check in that case. This refactoring also alleviates some subtle race condition issues by not opening ELF images twice to check the buildid and then load the symbols, which could lead to weirdness if an image is replaced under our feet.

This avoids around some problems where the full path is executables and DSOs it needed for finding debug symbols on platforms with separated debug symbol files such as Ubuntu.

2010-07-27perf ui: New hists tree widgetArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The stock newt checkbox tree widget we were using was not really suitable for hist entry + callchain browsing. The problems with it were manifold: - We needed to traverse the whole hist_entry rb_tree to add each entry + callchains beforehand. - No control over the colors used for each row So a new tree widget, based mostly on slang, was written. It extends the ui_browser class already used for annotate to allow the user to fold/unfold branches in the callchains tree, using extra fields in the symbol_map class that is embedded in hist_entry and callchain_node instances to store the folding state and when changing this state calculates the number of rows that are produced when showing a particular hist_entry instance. This greatly speeds up browsing as we don't have to upfront touch all the entries and only calculate callchain related operations when some callchain branch is actually unfolded. The memory footprint is also reduced as the data structure is not duplicated, just some extra fields for controling callchain state and to simplify the process of seeking thru entries (nr_rows, row_offset) were added.

2010-07-22perf annotate: Fix handling of goto labels that are valid hex numbersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When parsing the objdump disassembly output we can have goto labels that are valid hex numbers and thus get confused with lines with machine code. Handle the common case of a label that has nothing after it and other cases where there is just source code by validating the resulting "ip". It is still possible that we find goto labels that are in the function address range, but only if they are located before the real address we should be OK. A change in the objdump output to have a clear marker separating addresses from the disassembly would come handy, but we would still have to deal with older versions.

2010-07-16perf: Fix various display bugs with parent filteringFrederic Weisbecker
Hists that have been filtered, because they don't have callchains matching the parent filter, won't be printed. As such, hist_entry__snprintf() returns 0 for them, but we don't control this value and we always print the buffer, which might be untouched and then only made of random stack garbage. Not only does it paint the screen with barf, it also prints the callchains for these hists, even though they have been filtered, since the hist has been filtered as well. We need to check the return value of hist_entry__snprintf() and ignore the hist if it is 0, which means it didn't get any callchain matching the parent filter. This fixes the barf and the undesired callchains.

2010-07-08perf: Sync callchains with period based hitsFrederic Weisbecker
Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in perf report. But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking the period into account. So when we compute the percentage, absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be the number of raw hits. perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on the first branch level too. flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages. Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Changes the Perf --version string such that it shows the kernel version as suggested by Ingo as follows: That way the perf that comes with v2.6.34 will be: perf version v2.6.34 while interim versions will have the version of the interim kernel - for example: perf version v2.6.35-rc4-70-g39ef13a This functionality was already in the perf version generator file except that it was looking for a .git in the perf directory instead of the kernel directory.

2010-06-24perf: Don't use 4 bytes as a default instruction breakpoint lengthFrederic Weisbecker
4 bytes is fine as a default access for data breakpoints. But instruction breakpoints should take the native pointer length, otherwise we get a -EINVAL in x86-64.

Another patch eroding the changes I had to move to a tree widget that doesn't requires adding all entries in an existing list/tree structure to a generic tree widget, but instead allows traversing just the entries that should appear on the screen on a given moment.
