perf tools: Fixup mmap event consumption

2013-10-28T19:06:00Z

The tail position of the event buffer should only be modified after actually use that event. If not the event buffer could be invalid before use, and segment fault occurs when invoking perf top -G.

perf tools: change machine__findnew_thread() to set thread pid

2013-08-29T14:51:31Z

Add a new parameter for 'pid' to machine__findnew_thread(). Change callers to pass 'pid' when it is known. Note that callers sometimes want to find the main thread which has the memory maps. The main thread has tid == pid so the usage in that case is: machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, pid) whereas the usage to find the specific thread is: machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid) Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Acked-by: David Ahern Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377591794-30553-2-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests: Fix compile failure on do_sort_something

2013-08-14T14:42:45Z

perf tools: Remove filter parameter of thread__find_addr_map()

2013-08-12T13:31:12Z

Now that the symbol filter is recorded on the machine there is no need to pass it to thread__find_addr_map(). So remove it.

perf tests: Add kcore to the object code reading test

2013-08-07T20:35:34Z

Make the "object code reading" test attempt to read from kcore. The test uses objdump which struggles with kcore. i.e. doesn't always work, sometimes takes a long time. The test has been made to work around those issues.

perf symbols: Load kernel maps before using

2013-08-07T20:35:31Z

In order to use kernel maps to read object code, those maps must be adjusted to map to the dso file offset. Because lazy-initialization is used, that is not done until symbols are loaded. However the maps are first used by thread__find_addr_map() before symbols are loaded. So this patch changes thread__find_addr() to "load" kernel maps before using them.

perf tests: Add test for reading object code

2013-08-07T20:35:30Z

Using the information in mmap events, perf tools can read object code associated with sampled addresses. A test is added that compares bytes read by perf with the same bytes read using objdump.
