      Add filters support for available function list.
      
      Default filter is "!_*" for filtering out local-purpose symbols.
      
      e.g.:
       # perf probe --filter="add*" -F
      add_disk
      add_disk_randomness
      add_input_randomness
      add_interrupt_randomness
      add_memory
      add_page_to_unevictable_list
      add_page_wait_queue

      perf probe: Add variable filter support · bd09d7b5
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add filters support for available variable list.
      
      Default filter is "!__k???tab_*&!__crc_*" for filtering out
      automatically generated symbols.
      
      The format of filter rule is "[!]GLOBPATTERN", so you can use wild
      cards. If the filter rule starts with '!', matched variables are filter
      out.
      
      e.g.:
       # perf probe -V schedule --externs --filter=cpu*
      Available variables at schedule
              @<schedule+0>
                      cpumask_var_t   cpu_callout_mask
                      cpumask_var_t   cpu_core_map
                      cpumask_var_t   cpu_isolated_map
                      cpumask_var_t   cpu_sibling_map
                      int     cpu_number
                      long unsigned int*      cpu_bit_bitmap

      perf tools: Add strfilter for general purpose string filter · 68baa431
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add strfilter for general purpose string filter.
      
      Every filter rules are descrived by glob matching pattern and '!' prefix
      which means Logical NOT.
      
      A strfilter consists of those filter rules connected with '&' and '|'.
      
      A set of rules can be folded by using '(' and ')'.
      
      It also accepts spaces around rules and those operators.
      
      Format:
      <rule> ::= <glob-exp> | "!" <rule> | <rule> <op> <rule> | "(" <rule> ")"
      <op> ::= "&" | "|"
      
      e.g.:
      
       "(add* | del*) & *timer" filter rules pass strings which start with add
       or del and end with timer.
      
      This will be used by perf probe --filter.
      
      Changes in V2:
       - Fix to check result of strdup() and strfilter__alloc().
       - Encapsulate and simplify interfaces as like regex(3).

      perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__{in,ex}it · ef1d1af2
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Out of the {con,des}structor, as in interpreted language bindings we will
      need to go back from the wrapper object to the real thing. In that case
      using container_of will save us to have an extra pointer in the perf_evsel
      struct.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To avoid linking more stuff in the python binding I'm working on, future
      csets will make the sample type be taken from the evsel itself, but for
      that we need to first have one file per cpu and per sample_type, not a
      single perf.data file.

      perf threads: Move thread_map to separate file · fd78260b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To untangle it from struct thread handling, that is tied to symbols, etc.
      
      Right now in the python bindings I'm working on I need just a subset of
      the util/ files, untangling it allows me to do that.

      perf tools: Pass the struct opt to the wildcard parsing routine · 17ea1b70
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      It is needed because it will call parse_event for each tracepoint
      name that matches, and we pass the perf_evlist via opt->value.
      
      Problem introduced in 4503fdd where my assumption about opt being
      always non NULL made me not look at callers of parse_events outside
      builtin-*.c.

      perf record: auto detect when stdout is a pipe · d7065adb
      Franck Bui-Huu authored
      This patch gives the ability to 'perf record' to detect when its stdout
      has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
      switch in this case.
      
      However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
      and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
      the specified output.

      Add --funcs to show available functions in symtab.
      
      Originally this feature came from Srikar's uprobes patches
      ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/27/244 )
      
      e.g.
      ...
      __ablkcipher_walk_complete
      __absent_pages_in_range
      __account_scheduler_latency
      __add_pages
      __alloc_pages_nodemask
      __alloc_percpu
      __alloc_reserved_percpu
      __alloc_skb
      __alloc_workqueue_key
      __any_online_cpu
      __ata_ehi_push_desc
      ...
      
      This also supports symbols in module, e.g.
      
      ...
      cleanup_module
      cpuid_maxphyaddr
      emulate_clts
      emulate_instruction
      emulate_int_real
      emulate_invlpg
      emulator_get_dr
      emulator_set_dr
      emulator_task_switch
      emulator_write_emulated
      emulator_write_phys
      fx_init

      perf callchain: Feed callchains into a cursor · 1b3a0e95
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
      As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:
      
      - 1st to resolve symbols
      - 2nd to filter out context boundaries
      - 3rd for the insertion into the tree
      
      This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
      everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
      addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.
      
      Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
      allocations. It brings several pros like:
      
      - Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
      but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
      than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
      boundaries to filter out.
      
      - Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
      persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
      will.
      
      - Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
      stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
      callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
      stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
      callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
      makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
      iterator a much more flexible fit.
      
      Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
      has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

      perf test: Add test for the evlist mmap routines · de5fa3a8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This test will generate random numbers of calls to some getpid syscalls,
      then establish an mmap for a group of events that are created to monitor
      these syscalls.
      
      It will receive the events, using mmap, use its PERF_SAMPLE_ID generated
      sample.id field to map back to its respective perf_evsel instance.
      
      Then it checks if the number of syscalls reported as perf events by the
      kernel corresponds to the number of syscalls made.

      perf evlist: Move the mmap array from perf_evsel · 70db7533
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map
      per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the
      first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the
      PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that
      cpu for the one with the mmap.
      
      The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review
      they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the
      migrated methods to evlist.c.
      
      With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record'
      and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines,
      establishing a common codebase for both tools.
