      perf tools: Allow to build with -ltcmalloc · bb91a073
      Jiri Olsa authored
      By using "make TCMALLOC=1" you can enable perf to be build for usage
      with libtcmalloc.so (gperftools).
      
      Get heap profile (tools/perf directory):
      
        $ <install gperftools>
        $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1
        $ HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof ./perf ...
        $ pprof ./perf /tmp/heapprof.000*

      See callstack:
        $ pprof --pdf ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00* > callstack.pdf
        $ pprof --web ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00*
      
      Committer testing:
      
      Install gperftools, on fedora:
      
        # dnf install gperftools-devel
      
      Then build:
      
       $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
      
      Verify that it linked against the right library:
      
        $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep tcma
      	libtcmalloc.so.4 => /lib64/libtcmalloc.so.4 (0x00007fb2953a7000)
        $
      
      Run 'perf trace' system wide for 1 minute:
      
        # HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof perf trace -a sleep 1m

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.5-20191011' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      perf trace:
      
        Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
        - Reuse the strace-like syscall_arg_fmt->scnprintf() beautification routines
          (convert integer arguments into strings, like open flags, etc) in tracepoint
          arguments.
      
          For now the type based scnprintf routines (pid_t, umode_t, etc) and the
          ones based in well known arg name based ("fd", etc) gets associated with
          tracepoint args of that type.
      
          A tracepoint only arg, "msr", for the msr:{write,read}_msr gets added as
          an initial step.
      
        - Introduce syscall_arg_fmt->strtoul() methods to be the reverse operation
          of ->scnprintf(), i.e. to go from a string to an integer.
      
        - Implement --filter, just like in 'perf record', that affects the tracepoint
          events specied thus far in the command line, use the ->strtoul() methods
          to allow strings in tables associated with beautifiers to the integers
          the in-kernel tracepoint (eBPF later) filters expect, e.g.:
      
           # perf trace --max-events 1 -e sched:*ipi --filter="cpu==1 || cpu==2"
            0.000 as/24630 sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi(cpu: 1)

        - Default to not using libtraceevent and its plugins for beautifying
          tracepoint arguments, since now we're reusing the strace-like beatufiers.
          Use --libtraceevent_print (using just --libtrace is unambiguous and can
          be used as a short hand) to go back to those beautifiers.
      
          This will help in the transition, as can be seen in some of the sched tracepoints
          that still need some work in the libbeauty based mode:

        - Make -v (verbose) mode be honoured for .perfconfig based trace.add_events,
          to help in diagnosing problems with building eBPF events (-e source.c).
      
        - When using eBPF syscall payload augmentation do not show strace-like
          syscalls when all the user specified was some tracepoint event, bringing
          the behaviour in line with that of when not using eBPF augmentation.

        Adrian Hunter:
      
        - Add LookupModel, HBoxLayout, VBoxLayout, global time range calculations
          so as to add a time chart by CPU.
      
      perf script:
      
        Andi Kleen:
      
        - Allow --time (to specify a time span of interest) with --reltime
      
      perf diff:
      
        Jin Yao:
      
        - Report noise for cycles diff, i.e. a histogram + stddev.
          (timestamps relative to start).
      
      perf annotate:
      
        Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
        - Initialize env->cpuid when running in live mode (perf top), as it
          is used in some of the per arch annotation init routines.

        Ian Rogers:
      
        - Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak, as this breaks with some
          compilers that constant-propagate from the weak symbol.
      
      libperf:
      
        - First part of moving the perf_mmap class from tools/perf to libperf.
      
        - Propagate CFLAGS to libperf from the tools/perf Makefile.

        John Garry:
      
        - Add entry in MAINTAINERS with reviewers for the for perf tool arm64
          pmu-events files.
