2010-07-27perf ui: Consider the refreshed dimensions in ui_browser__showArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we call ui_browser__show we may have called ui_browser__refresh_dimensions to check if the maximum lenght for the contained entries changed, such as when zooming in and out DSOs or threads in the hist browser. For that to happen we must delete the old form, that will take care of deleting the vertical scrollbar, etc, and then recreate them, with the new dimensions.

2010-07-22x86 cpufreq, perf: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independentThomas Renninger
and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others. trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only. -> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier is triggered. This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers. trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend on each other. -> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu which gets switched automatically fixes this. Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch: - Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names) - Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id - Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Cc: davej@codemonkey.org.uk Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: Robert Schoene <robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de> Tested-by: Robert Schoene <robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

2010-07-08perf: Sync callchains with period based hitsFrederic Weisbecker
Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in perf report. But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking the period into account. So when we compute the percentage, absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be the number of raw hits. perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on the first branch level too. flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages. Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly. When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random. Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything.

2010-06-17perf record: prevent kill(0, SIGTERM);Ian Munsie
At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended. child_pid is set to the return of fork() to either 0 or the pid of the child. Ordinarily this would not present an issue as the child calls execvp to spawn the process to be profiled and would therefore never run it's sig_atexit and never attempt to kill pid 0. However, if a nonexistant binary had been passed in to perf record the call to execvp would fail and child_pid would be left set to 0. The child would then exit and it's atexit handler, finding that child_pid was initialised to 0, would call kill(0, SIGTERM), resulting in every process within it's process group being killed. In the case that perf was being run directly from the shell this typically would not be an issue as the shell isolates the process. However, if perf was being called from another program it could kill unexpected processes, which may even include X. This patch changes the logic of the test for whether child_pid was initialised to only consider positive pids as valid, thereby never attempting to kill pid 0. Cc: David S.

2010-06-17perf probe: Add kernel source path optionChase Douglas
The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags, but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to specify the root of the kernel source tree.

2010-06-17perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cacheStephane Eranian
There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images). A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file, simply do: [buildid] dir = /dev/null This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still generated in the perf.data file. Cc: David S.

2010-06-17perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookupEric B Munson
Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures that use function descriptors such as ppc64. The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address. We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

2010-06-17perf record: Avoid synthesizing mmap() for all processes in per-thread modeStephane Eranian
A bug was introduced by commit c45c6ea2e5c57960dc67e00294c2b78e9540c007. Perf record was scanning /proc/PID to create synthetic PERF_RECOR_MMAP entries even though it was running in per-thread mode. There was a bogus check to select what mmaps to synthesize. We only need all processes in system-wide mode. Cc: David S.

2010-06-17perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXITArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them. This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop. The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this is the minimalistic patch. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: David S.

2010-06-10perf record: Don't call newt functions when not initializedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When processing events we want to give visual feedback to the user when using the newt browser, so there are ui_progress calls in __perf_session__process_events, but those should check if newt is being used.
