      perf annotate: Use the sym_priv_size area for the histogram · e4204992
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We have this sym_priv_size mechanism for attaching private areas
      to struct symbol entries but annotate wasn't using it, adding
      private areas to struct symbol in addition to a ->priv pointer.
      
      Scrap all that and use the sym_priv_size mechanism.

      perf tools: Add ->unmap_ip operation to struct map · ed52ce2e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We need this because we get section relative addresses when
      reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
      to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
      the address + section back again.
      
      So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
      (that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
      the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
      particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
      match with annotate.
      
      Verified that at least:
      
       perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
       perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all
      
      on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

      perf timechart: Add a process filter · bbe2987b
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      During the Kernel Summit demo of perf/ftrace/timechart, there
      was a feature request to have a process filter for timechart so
      that you can zoom into one or a few processes that you are
      really interested in.
      
      This patch adds basic support for this feature, the -p
      (--process) option now can select a PID or a process name to be
      shown. Multiple -p options are allowed, and the combined set
      will be included in the output.

      perf timechart: Improve the visual appearance of scheduler delays · 2e600d01
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      [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 · 3bc2a39c
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      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.

      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Use DECLARE_BITMAP instead of an open coded array for our bitmap
      of featured sections.
      
      This makes the array an unsigned long instead of a u64 but since
      we use a 256 bits bitmap, the array size shouldn't vary between
      different boxes.

      perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers · 2ba08250
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
      added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
      optional features present in the perf.data file.
      
      The layout can be pictured like this:
      
      (Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
      n][Feature 255]
      
      If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
      They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
      compatibility.
      
      The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
      this is the first and only one for now.
      
      This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
      it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.
      
      And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
      version.

      perf stat: Add branch performance metric · 11018201
      Anton Blanchard authored
      When we count both branches and branch-misses it is useful to
      print out the percentage of branch-misses:
      
       # perf stat -e branches -e branch-misses /bin/true
      
       Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
      
               401684  branches                 #      0.000 M/sec
                23301  branch-misses            #      5.801 %
