      perf tui: Add workaround for slang < 2.1.4 · dc4ff193
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Older versions of the slang library didn't used the 'const' specifier,
      causing problems with modern compilers of this kind:
      
      util/newt.c:252: error: passing argument 1 of ‘SLsmg_printf’ discards
      qualifiers from pointer target type
      
      Fix it by using some wrappers that when needed const the affected
      parameters back to plain (char *).

      perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition · 3de29cab
      Stephane Eranian authored
      The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
      using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
      the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
      the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
      when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
      higher optimization levels.
      
      This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
      avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.
      
      Commiter note:
      
      Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
      previous patch.

      perf newt: Make <- zoom out filters · 3e1bbdc3
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
      (left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.
      
      It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.
      
      With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
      by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
      to expand collapse callchains.

      perf report: Report number of events, not samples · c82ee828
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so
      report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods,
      but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel.
      
      While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
      event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
      struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.
      
      This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
      the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
      use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the
      tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

      perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usage · cee75ac7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
      and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
      fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
      sampling artifacts.
      
      Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
      fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.
      
      Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and
      stop doing it again.

      perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and record · 2e6cdf99
      Stephane Eranian authored
      By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
      option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
      by default.
      
      This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option.  By
      default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
      or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
      inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.
      
      The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
      start the counters.

      perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browser · ef7b93a1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
      symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
      in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
      directly to do annotation.
      
      Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
      directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
      them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
      
      The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
      histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
      the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
      using list_heads.
