      perf evsel: Fix inverted test for fixing up attr.inherit flag · e603dc15
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The kernel refuses mmapping an event with the inherit flag set for
      something that is systemwide (cpu == -1), and the evsel layer got this
      reversed at some point, fix it.
      
      The symtom was that the --pid and --tid parameters for 'perf record' and
      'perf top' returned with -EINVAL, like:
      
       # /tmp/build-perf/perf record -v -fo/tmp/perf.data -p 1042
         Warning:  ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks
      
         Fatal: failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)

      perf probe: Fix error propagation leading to segfault · fbee632d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
      error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
      should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
      "ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
      agains < 0.
      
      The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
      fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
      while installing broken probes:
      
      [root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
      Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
       Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
      Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
      Add new events:
        probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
        probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
      Segmentation fault (core dumped)
      [root@emilia ~]# perf probe -l
        probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
        probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
      [root@emilia ~]#
      
      After the fix:
      
      [root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
      Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
       Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
      Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
        Error: Failed to add events. (-2)

      perf tools: Makefile: Remove various and sundry cruft · a3d1ee10
      Michael Witten authored
      This commit squashes several commits that remove:
      
       unnecessary uname calls
       `sh -c'
       BUILT_INS and QUIET_BUILT_IN
      
          They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'
          scripts don't even exist.
      
       RUNTIME_PREFIX
      
          It's currently never anything but unset, and it's apparently
          only meaningful when Microsoft Windows is the operating system
          (according to the source for git).
      
       TEST_PROGRAMS
       EXTRA_PROGRAMS
       unused SHELL_PATH_SQ portions
       unused test for V=2
       useless exports
      
          Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
          is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
          placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.
      
          The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
          which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
          of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.
      
          Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
          a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
          an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
          script in which it is used.
      
          `DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
          or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
          to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
          make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.
      
          No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.
      
       unused QUIET_SUBDIR{0,1}
       TAR and RPMBUILD
       PTHREAD_LIBS
       Maintainer's dist rules and commands
       distclean target
       Test suite coverage testing
       PRINT_DIR and NO_SUBDIR
       `configure' target
       NO_CURL
       @@PERF_VERSION@@ substitution
      
          Without the sed command, all of the rule's commands can be reduced
          to a single line that copies a file and sets the permissions properly
          in the process.
      
       `make test' echo line
       template_instdir
       PERF-BUILD-OPTIONS
       double-colon rules
      
          The use of double-colon rules seems misguided or vestigial git.
      
       Essentially hard-coded $(SCRIPTS) expansion

      perf record: Delay setting the header writing atexit call · 712a4b60
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      While testing the --filter option I noticed that we were writing lots of
      unneeded stuff to the perf.data header when the filter ioctl fails, so
      move the atexit(atexit_header) call to after we create the counters
      successfully.

      perf: make perf stat print user provided full event names · f0c55bcf
      Stephane Eranian authored
      This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
      run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
      encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
      their modifiers (u, k, pp).
      
      This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
      struct and uses it to print the final event name.
      
      This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
      libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

      perf python: Add cgroup.c to setup.py to get it building again · 4498062e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The 023695d9 cset added a new file, util/cgroup.c, that is referenced from
      util/evsel.c, so it needs to be present in util/setup.py so that the python
      shared object binding works, fixing this:
      
      [root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/python/
      [root@emilia linux]# ./tools/perf/python/twatch.py
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "./tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in <module>
          import perf
      ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: close_cgroup
