      perf build-id: Move the routine to find DSOs with hits to the lib · 7b2567c1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Because 'perf record' will have to find the build-ids in after
      we stop recording, so as to reduce even more the impact in the
      workload while we do the measurement.

      perf probe: Don't use a perf_session instance just to resolve symbols · 8ad94c60
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      With the recent modifications done to untie the session and
      symbol layers, 'perf probe' now can use just the symbols layer.

      perf symbols: Ditch vdso global variable · 8d92c02a
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We can check using strcmp, most DSOs don't start with '[' so the
      test is cheap enough and we had to test it there anyway since
      when reading perf.data files we weren't calling the routine that
      created this global variable and thus weren't setting it as
      "loaded", which was causing a bogus:
      
        Failed to open [vdso], continuing without symbols
      
      Message as the first line of 'perf report'.

      perf symbols: Fixup vsyscall maps · 6275ce2d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      While debugging a problem reported by Pekka Enberg by printing
      the IP and all the maps for a thread when we don't find a map
      for an IP I noticed that dso__load_sym needs to fixup these
      extra maps it creates to hold symbols in different ELF sections
      than the main kernel one.
      
      Now we're back showing things like:
      
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report | grep vsyscall
           0.02%             mutt  [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn  [.] vread_hpet

      perf symbols: Remove perf_session usage in symbols layer · 9de89fe7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
      just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
      perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
      events, etc, so I untied these layers.
      
      This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
      parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
      reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
      only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
      and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
      main kernel map.

      perf tools: Use O_LARGEFILE to open perf data file · b8f46c5a
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      Open perf data file with O_LARGEFILE flag since its size is
      easily larger that 2G.
      
      For example:
      
       # rm -rf perf.data
       # ./perf kmem record sleep 300
      
       [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
       [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3142.147 MB perf.data
       (~137282513 samples) ]
      
       # ll -h perf.data

      perf lock: Clean up various details · 59f411b6
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Fix up a few small stylistic details:
      
       - use consistent vertical spacing/alignment
       - remove line80 artifacts
       - group some global variables better
       - remove dead code
      
      Plus rename 'prof' to 'report' to make it more in line with other
      tools, and remove the line/file keying as we really want to use
      IPs like the other tools do.

      perf lock: Introduce new tool "perf lock", for analyzing lock statistics · 9b5e350c

      already provide minimal functionality for analyzing lock

      perf: Add util/include/linuxhash.h to include hash.h of kernel · 18e97e06
      Hitoshi Mitake authored
      linux/hash.h, hash header of kernel, is also useful for perf.
      
      util/include/linuxhash.h includes linux/hash.h, so we can use
      hash facilities (e.g. hash_long()) in perf now.

      perf tools: Add __data_loc support · 86d8d296
      Hitoshi Mitake authored
      This patch is required to test the next patch for perf lock.
      
      At 064739bc ,
      support for the modifier "__data_loc" of format is added.
      
      But, when I wanted to parse format of lock_acquired (or some
      event else), raw_field_ptr() did not returned correct pointer.
      
      So I modified raw_field_ptr() like this patch. Then
      raw_field_ptr() works well.
