      perf tools: Fix accidentally preprocessed snprintf callback · fcd14984
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      struct sort_entry has a callback named snprintf that turns an
      entry into a string result.
      But there are glibc versions that implement snprintf through a
      macro. The following expression is then going to get the snprintf
      call preprocessed:
      
              ent->snprintf(...)
      
      to finally end up in a build error:
      
              util/hist.c: Dans la fonction «hist_entry__snprintf» :
              util/hist.c:539: erreur: «struct sort_entry» has no member named «__builtin___snprintf_chk»
      
      To fix this, prepend struct sort_entry callbacks with an "se_"
      prefix.

      perf: Make clock software events consistent with general exclusion rules · df8290bf
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
      on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
      
      The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
      have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
      There are two side effects of this:
      
      - we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
        us the desired result.
      - if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
        user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
      
      get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
      use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
      when an event must be ignored.

      perf: Store active software events in a hashlist · 76e1d904
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
      the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
      to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
      We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.
      
      This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
      down with a growing number of events running on the same
      contexts.
      
      To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
      get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
      they trigger.
      
      v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
            maths along the way)
          - Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
            refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
            if needed when it becomes online.
          - Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.
      
      v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
            Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
          - While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
            to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

      perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR() · c0555642
      Ian Munsie authored
      Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
      bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
      manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
      incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
      PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
      and would therefore print out the usage information and
      terminate.
      
      This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
      datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
      intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
      passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
      with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
      currently the only such example of this).
      
      I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
      C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
      they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
      bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
      The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
      OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.
