      perf sched: Fix for getting task's execution time · c0c9e721
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      In current code, task's execute time is got by reading
      '/proc/<pid>/sched' file, it's wrong if the task is created
      by pthread_create(), because every thread task has same pid.
      
      This way also has two demerits:
      
       1: 'perf sched replay' can't work if the kernel is not
          compiled with the 'CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG' option
      
       2: perf tool should depend on proc file system
      
      So, this patch uses PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK to get task's
      execution time instead of reading /proc file.
      
      Changelog v2 -> v3:
      use PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK instead of rusage() as Ingo's
      suggestion

      tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling · 822a6961
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
      handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
      to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
      kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
      when we fail to create common fields.
      
      The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
      k(ret)probes specific fields.
      
      This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

      perf_event: Allocate children's perf_event_ctxp at the right time · b93f7978
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      In current code, children task will allocate memory for
      'child->perf_event_ctxp' if the parent is counted, we can
      do it only if the parent allowed children inherit it.
      
      It can save memory and reduce overhead.

      hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them · 44234adc
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
      it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
      modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
      racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
      one.
      
      This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
      slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
      supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
      workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
      
      So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
      disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
      after if necessary.

      Remove event suffix number _0 if it is the first.
      The first event has no suffix, and from the second,
      each event has suffix number counted from _1. This

      perf probe: Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option · d1bde3f7
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option.
      perf-probe supports add-probe command without --add
      option. But it treats each argument as an event definition.
      e.g.
      
      perf probe func arg1 arg2
      
       is interpreted as
      
      perf probe --add func --add arg1 --add arg2
      
      But it may be useless in many cases.
      
      This patch fixes this syntax to fold those arguments into
      one event definition if there is no --add option. With this
      change, above command is interpreted as below;
      
      perf probe --add "func arg1 arg2"
