2014-06-12T14:53:23Z

perf tests: Allow reuse of test_file function

2014-06-12T14:53:22Z

Making the test_file function to be reusable for new tests coming in following patches. Also changing the template name of temp files to "/tmp/perf-test-XXXXXX" to easily identify & blame.

perf tests: Spawn child for each test

2014-06-12T14:53:22Z

In upcoming tests we will setup process limits, which might affect other tests. Spawning child for each test to prevent this.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

2014-06-12T11:54:42Z

Pull perf/core improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible: * Improve 'perf probe' error messages, moving some diagnostic messages to only appear in --verbose mode and fixing up some error reporting related to variables and struct members. (Masami Hiramatsu) * Reflow 'perf timechart' man page. (Stanislav Fomichev) Developer stuff: * Be more precise when reporting missing libraries in a static tool build. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) * Show error messages from the multiple make invoked from 'make build-test'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Revert "perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support"

2014-06-09T11:34:46Z

This reverts commit 3090ffb5a2515990182f3f55b0688a7817325488. Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon. Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks to the revert had to be done: o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7) o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401461382-209586-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tests: Define and use symbolic names for fake symbols

2014-06-01T12:35:11Z

In various histogram test cases, fake symbols are used as raw numbers. Define macros for each pid, map, symbols so that it can increase readability somewhat.

perf tools: Add callback function to hist_entry_iter

2014-06-01T12:35:05Z

The new ->add_entry_cb() will be called after an entry was added to the histogram. It's used for code sharing between perf report and perf top. Note that ops->add_*_entry() should set iter->he properly in order to call the ->add_entry_cb. Also pass @arg to the callback function. It'll be used by perf top later.
