perf config: Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig

2019-10-05T13:11:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 61a461fcbd62d42c29a1ea6a9cc3838ad9f49401 ] We had this comment in Documentation/perf_counter/config.c, i.e. since when we got this from the git sources, but never really did that getenv("PERF_CONFIG"), do it now as I need to disable whatever ~/.perfconfig root has so that tests parsing tool output are done for the expected default output or that we specify an alternate config file that when read will make the tools produce expected output.

perf bpf: Save bpf_prog_info in a rbtree in perf_env

2019-03-19T19:52:06+00:00

bpf_prog_info contains information necessary to annotate bpf programs. This patch saves bpf_prog_info for bpf programs loaded in the system. Some big picture of the next few patches: To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different informations are needed: 1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL 2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT 3) bpf_prog_info 4) btf Before this set, 1) and 2) in the list are already saved to perf.data file. For BPF programs that are already loaded before perf run, 1) and 2) are synthesized by perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). For short living BPF programs, 1) and 2) are generated by kernel. This set handles 3) and 4) from the list. Again, it is necessary to handle existing BPF program and short living program separately. This patch handles 3) for exising BPF programs while synthesizing 1) and 2) in perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). These data are stored in perf_env. The next patch saves these data from perf_env to perf.data as headers. Similarly, the two patches after the next saves 4) of existing BPF programs to perf_env and perf.data. Another patch later will handle 3) and 4) for short living BPF programs by monitoring 1) and 2) in a dedicate thread.

perf tools: Remove dead quote.[ch] code

2018-06-04T13:28:50+00:00

In c68677014bac ("perf tools: Remove support for command aliases") we removed the only remaining use of a function provided by these files, so ditch it.

perf tools: No need to unconditionally read the max_stack sysctls

2018-05-17T19:31:32+00:00

Let tools that need to have those variables with the sysctl current values use a function that will read them.

perf tools: Read the cache line size lazily

2018-05-17T19:03:34+00:00

It is not read as commonly as 'page_size', so it makes sense to read it lazily, caching its value when it is first read. Less files open unconditionally at startup.

tools lib api: Unexport 'tracing_path' variable

2018-05-16T19:27:14+00:00

One should use tracing_path_mount() instead, so more things get done lazily instead of at every 'perf' tool call startup.

perf config: Call perf_config__init() lazily

2018-05-16T19:11:09+00:00

We check what perf_config__init() does at each perf_config() call, namely if the static perf_config instance was created, so instead of bailing out in that case, try to allocate it, bailing if it fails. Now to get the perf_config() call out of the start of perf's main() function, doing it also lazily.

perf tools: Rename HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT

2018-04-12T13:33:31+00:00

To be consistent with other HAVE_XXX_SUPPORT uses in Makefile.config, this patch renames HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT and updates the C code accordingly.
