perf diff: Replaces some ',' as separator with the more usual ';'

2023-07-20T14:43:45+00:00

When wrapping code, use ';' better than using ',' which is more in line
with the coding habits of most engineers.

perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN

2023-06-12T21:17:00+00:00

This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around,
we can instead just do a pointer comparision.

That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from
some versions of clang and gcc:

  41    68.95 fedora:rawhide                : FAIL clang version 16.0.4 (Fedora 16.0.4-1.fc39)
    result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare]
            if (start_line != SRCLINE_UNKNOWN &&
                           ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  41

Ack comments:

Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from
a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed
memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.

perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions

2023-06-12T18:57:53+00:00

struct addr_location holds references to multiple reference counted
objects. Add init/exit functions to make maintenance of those more
consistent with the rest of the code and to try to avoid
leaks. Modification of thread reference counts isn't included in this
change.

Committer notes:

I needed to initialize result to sample->ip to make sure is set to
something, fixing a compile time error, mostly keeping the previous
logic as build_alloc_func_list() already does debugging/error prints
about what went wrong if it takes the 'goto out'.

perf hist: Add 'kvm_info' field in histograms entry

2023-03-15T19:47:20+00:00

__hists__add_entry() creates a temporary entry and compare it with
existed histograms entries, if any existed entry equals to the
temporary entry it skips to allocation to avoid duplication.

The problem for support KVM event in histograms is it doesn't contain
any info to identify KVM event and can be used for comparison entries.

This patch adds 'kvm_info' field in the histograms entry which contains
the KVM event's key, this identifier will be used for comparison
histograms entries in later change.

perf tools: Make quiet mode consistent between tools

2022-10-27T19:37:26+00:00

Use the global quiet variable everywhere so that all tools hide warnings
in quiet mode and update the documentation to reflect this.

'perf probe' claimed that errors are not printed in quiet mode but I
don't see this so remove it from the docs.

perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()

2021-08-02T13:06:51+00:00

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others
passes 'false'.  Let's remove it from the function signature and add
__perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly.

This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.

libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx

2021-07-09T17:04:28+00:00

Move evsel::idx to perf_evsel::idx, so we can move the group interface
to libperf.

Committer notes:

Fixup evsel->idx usage in tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c, that
appeared in my tree in my local tree.

Also fixed up these:

$ find tools/perf/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evsel->idx'
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c:                      evsel->idx + i);
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c:                   evsel->idx);
$

That running 'make -C tools/perf build-test' caught.
