      perf sched: No need to keep the session around · ae536acf
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We were keeping the session around just because we kept pointers to
struct thread instances, but now we reference count them, so no need
for deferring the perf_session__delete call to after we traverse the
work_list entries.

      perf tools: Reference count struct thread · f3b623b8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.

      perf report: Fix branch stack mode cannot be set · fefd2d96
      He Kuang authored 
      When perf.data file is obtained using 'perf record -b', perf report
should use branch stack mode to generate output. But this function is
broken by improper comparison between boolean and constant -1.

before this patch:

  $ perf report -b -i perf.data

"if (verbose) pr_info(...)" is same as "pr_debug(...)", replace it.

      perf buildid-cache: Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE · 8d8c8e4c
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE.

Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has
same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a
FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache
about FILE path.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --remove ./perf
  Removing 305bbd1be68f66eca7e2d78db294653031edfa79 ./perf: FAIL
  ./perf wasn't in the cache
  -----
Actually, the --remove's FAIL is not shown, it just silently fails.

So, this patch adds --purge FILE action for such usecase.

perf buildid-cache --purge FILE removes all caches which has same FILE
path.

In other words, it removes all caches including old binaries.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --purge ./perf
  Removing 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  -----

BTW, if you want to purge all the caches, remove ~/.debug/* .

      perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*' · 7335399a
      Yunlong Song authored 
      The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version
--exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree
--debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two
problems:

 Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in
 perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If
 not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf
 really supports will be inconsistent.

 Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g.
 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the
 character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the
 bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can
 continue to choose one.

 To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports
 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash
 completion now.

Example:

 Before this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 $ perf --                  <-- 'h' disappears and no required result

 After this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 --help       --html-path   <-- the required result

      perf list: Extend raw-dump to certain kind of events · 5ef803ee
      Yunlong Song authored 
      Extend 'perf list --raw-dump' to 'perf list --raw-dump [hw|sw|cache
|tracepoint|pmu|event_glob]' in order to show the raw-dump of a certain
kind of events rather than all of the events.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf list --raw-dump hw
 branch-instructions branch-misses bus-cycles cache-misses
 cache-references cpu-cycles instructions stalled-cycles-backend
 stalled-cycles-frontend
 alignment-faults context-switches cpu-clock cpu-migrations
 emulation-faults major-faults minor-faults page-faults task-clock
 ...
 ...
 writeback:writeback_thread_start writeback:writeback_thread_stop
 writeback:writeback_wait_iff_congested
 writeback:writeback_wake_background writeback:writeback_wake_thread

As shown above, all of the events are printed.

After this patch:

 $ perf list --raw-dump hw
 branch-instructions branch-misses bus-cycles cache-misses
 cache-references cpu-cycles instructions stalled-cycles-backend
 stalled-cycles-frontend

As shown above, only the hw events are printed.
