perf tools: Fix permission checks

2009-11-08T16:04:54Z

The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is not root which results in a very confusing error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied) Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

perf tools: Remove -Wcast-align

2009-10-26T08:43:06Z

The present use of -Wcast-align causes the build to blow up on SH due to generating a "cast increases required alignment of target type" error on each invocation of list_for_each_entry(). It seems that this was previously reported and killed off in the ia64 support patch, but nothing seems to have happened with that. Presumably the same problem still remains there, too.

perf tools: Fix compatibility with libelf 0.8 and autodetect

2009-10-25T16:09:14Z

The Makefile now automatically defines LIBELF_NO_MMAP when libelf 0.8.x is detected. libelf 0.8 is still maintained and some distributions such as Arch Linux use it instead of elfutils.

perf timechart: Improve the visual appearance of scheduler delays

2009-10-20T01:39:21Z

[from KS feedback] Currently, scheduler delays are shown in a mostly transparent, light yellow color. This color is rather hard to see on several screens, especially projectors. This patch changes the color of the scheduler delays to be a much more "hard" yellow that survived the kernel summit projector.

perf timechart: Fix the wakeup-arrows that point to non-visible processes

2009-10-20T01:39:16Z

The timechart wakeup arrows currently show no process information when the waker/wakee are processes that are not actually chosen to be shown on the timechart. This patch fixes this oversight, by looking through all processes (after giving preference to visible processes) as well as falling back to just showing the PID if no name for the process can be resolved.

perf top: Fix --delay_secs 0 division by zero

Add delay_secs sanity check to handle_keypress, this fixes a division by zero crash. Signed-off-by: Tim Blechmann Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Frederic Weisbecker LKML-Reference: <4AD9EBFD.106@klingt.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Bump version to 0.0.2

2009-10-16T08:34:28Z

We released the first version of perf with 0.0.1 in v2.6.31, time to double our version number to 0.0.2 ;-) Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Frederic Weisbecker LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Remove static debugfs path from parse-events

2009-10-12T20:41:05Z

Timechart doesn't work if debugfs is not in /sys/kernel/debug/. Fixed by using global debugfs_path which is filled in by perf. Signed-off-by: Ashwin Chaugule Cc: "Arjan van de Ven" LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Fix the NO_64BIT build on pure 64-bit systems

2009-10-12T08:00:27Z

Randy Dunlap reported that 'make NO_64BIT=1' fails to build a pure 32-b it binary on 64-bit/64-bit x86 systems. The reason is that we dont pass in the -m32 and GCC defaults to -m64. So pass it in - and also extend the warning message about libelf dependencies - glibc-dev[el] is needed as well beyond the libelf library.

perf tools: Fix const char type propagation

2009-10-12T06:35:00Z

The following perf build warnings/errors in function argument types: builtin-sched.c:1894: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sort_dimension__add' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:685: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:741: warning: passing argument 4 of 'test_type_token' discards qualifiers from pointer target type util/trace-event-parse.c:706: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected_item' discards qualifiers from pointer target type ... trigger because older GCC is not able to prove that sort_dimension__add() does not change the string. Some goes for test_type_token(). Fix this by improving type consistency.
