      perf: Fix unaligned accesses while fetching trace values · 85cb68b2
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault
on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the
case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned
to 4 and not to 8.

Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size.

This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64.

      perf: Comply with new rcu checks API · 49f135ed
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
rcu checks api.

We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:

- the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
  events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
  serialized under the cpuctx mutex.

- the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
  serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
  during such operations. This side happens when a software event
  is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
  event is really attached to the context is made under the
  ctx->lock.

- events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
  concurrently with any update side.

This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.

This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

      perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip() · cbb5cf7f
      Tom Zanussi authored 
      This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced
recently:

root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop
perf trace started with Perl
script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl

  Fatal: did not read header event

commit d00a47cc added a skip()
function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for
live mode.  This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of
lseek() to fix that.

      perf session: Make read_build_id routines look at the host_machine too · f869097e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that
started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a
bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for
build-id processing.

Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the
host_machine when processing build-ids.

so bring it eventually back. It helps to catch
preemption issue (if there will be, rule of thumb --
don't use raw_ if you can).

      To prevent from clashes in future code modifications
do a real check for ESCR address being in hash. At
moment the callers are known to pass sane values but
better to be on a safe side.

And comment fix.

reasons, it could fail, and the calleds are coping with failures, so
stop using die() and xzalloc().

      That could leave filedescriptors open and leak memory. Also stop using
xmalloc, use malloc and handle results just like other error cases in
the same routine that used it.

      perf tools: Remove some unused functions · a41794cd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with:

$ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install

Before:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 471851	  29280	4025056	4526187	 45106b	/home/acme/bin/perf

After:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 446886	  29232	4008576	4484694	 446e56	/home/acme/bin/perf

So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git
diff --stat output:

 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-)

If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just
have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

      perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers · 5af52b51
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.

$ perf stat noploop 2
