Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 618038df35 perf tools: Move __used from perf.h to linux/compiler.h
Just like in the kernel and also to remove the need to include
perf.h in the symbol subsystem.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4b8cf84624 perf symbols: Move map related routines to map.c
Thru series of refactorings functions were being renamed but not
moved to map.c to reduce patch noise, now lets have them in the
same place so that use of the symbol system by tools can be
constrained to building and linking fewer source files:
symbol.c, map.c and rbtree.c.

That will be in both struct hist_entry and struct

callchain_lists are present, to allow precise annotation instead
of looking for the first symbol with the selected name.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 96415e4d3f perf symbols: Avoid unnecessary symbol loading when dso list is specified
We were performing the full thread__find_addr_location
operation, i.e. resolving to a map/dso _and_ loading its symbols
when we can optimize it by first calling thread__find_addr_map
to find just the map/dso, check if it is one that we are
interested in (passed via --dsos/-d in 'perf annotate', 'perf
report', etc) and if not avoid loading the symtab.

Nice speedup when we know which DSO we're interested in.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4ded2b250f perf report: Implement Newt callgraphs
Starts collapsed, allows annotating by pressing 'A' or 'a' on
the symbol, be it the top level one or any of the symbols in the
chains.

It (ab)uses the only tree widget in newt, that is actually a
checkbox tree that we use with just one option ('.'), end result
is usable but we really need to create a custom widget tree so
that we can use the data structures we have (hist_entry rb_tree
+ callchain rb_tree + lists), so that we reduce the memory
footprint by not creating a mirror set of data structures in the
newtCheckboxTree widget.

Thanks to Frédéric Weisbacker for fixing the orphanage problem
in 301fde2, without that we were tripping a newt bug (fix
already sent to newt's maintainer).

Frederic Weisbecker 301fde27c7 perf: Fix orphan callchain branches
Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we
enter a context (kernel, user, ...).

Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are
incidentally an active part of the radix tree where
callchains are stored, just like any other address.

If we have the two following callchains:

addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4
addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5

This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an
interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and
addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path.

This will be stored as follows in the tree:

                   addr1
                   addr2
                   /   \
                  /     addr5
            user context
               /    \
             addr3  addr4

But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence
the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches:

    |--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt
    |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
    |          apic_timer_interrupt
    |          |           <------------- here, no parent!
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __errno_location

Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the
callchains to the tree.

Zhang, Yanmin d6d901c23a perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead of thread-wide
Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.

Usage example is:

 # perf top -p 8888
 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10

Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

Zhang, Yanmin 46be604b5b perf record: Enable counters only when kernel is execing subcommand
'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so
the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some
preparation steps. I fix it with the patch.

In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If
there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The
usage example is:

 # perf record -f -a sleep 10

So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.

Zhang, Yanmin 6be2850eff perf stat: Enable counters when collecting process-wide or system-wide data
Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an
existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the
issue.

Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a
subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage
example is:

 # perf stat -a sleep 10

So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.

Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full
single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload.

Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function
run_perf_stat.

Ingo Molnar 3b0d516463 perf probe: Fix !dwarf build
Fix the !drawf build.

This uses the existing NO_DWARF_SUPPORT mechanism we use for that,
but it's really fragile and needs a cleanup. (in a separate patch)

1) Such uses:

 #ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT

are double inverted logic a'la 'not not'. Instead the flag should
be called DWARF_SUPPORT.

2) Furthermore, assymetric #ifdef polluted code flow like:

        if (need_dwarf)
 #ifdef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
                die("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported");
 #else   /* !NO_DWARF_SUPPORT */
                pr_debug("Some probes require debuginfo.\n");

        fd = open_vmlinux();

is very fragile and not acceptable. Instead of that helper functions
should be created and the dwarf/no-dwarf logic should be separated more
cleanly.

Masami Hiramatsu 7df2f32956 perf probe: Add data structure member access support
Support accessing members in the data structures. With this,
perf-probe accepts data-structure members(IOW, it now accepts
dot '.' and arrow '->' operators) as probe arguemnts.

e.g.

 ./perf probe --add 'schedule:44 rq->curr'

 ./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_op->read file->f_path.dentry'

Note that '>' can be interpreted as redirection in command-line.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d06d92b7c9 perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass
objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get
confused and produce no output:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write

 ------------------------------------------------
  Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms]
 ------------------------------------------------

Now we check that and emit meaningful warning:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
 Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
 path: [0] vmlinux
 [1] /boot/vmlinux
 [2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+
 [3] /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/build/vmlinux
 [4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux
 [root@doppio ~]#

This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
file.

v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no
    symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen
    repeating the warning for each symbol.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b0a9ab62ab perf top: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Before this patch this message would very briefly appear on the

for number of interrupts received, etc, but no annotation would
be performed:

 [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write > /tmp/bla
 objdump: '[kernel.kallsyms]': No such file

Now this is what the user gets:

 [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write
 Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
 path: [0] vmlinux

Not good, the newt form for report works, but slang has to eat
the cost of the additional callgraph lines everytime it prints a
line, and the callgraph doesn't appear on the screen, so move
the callgraph printing to a separate function and don't use it
in newt.c.

Newt tree widgets are being investigated to properly support
callgraphs, but till that gets merged, lets remove this huge
overhead and show at least the symbol overheads for a callgraph
rich perf.data with good performance.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f9224c5c94 perf report: Implement initial UI using newt
Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.

In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.

Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.

More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.

Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc

But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.
