Currently the 'watermark' field is coded as 'watermask'. As the type is global through the framework and tests, the typo spawned no error. Signed-off-by:

David reported that current perf report refused to run on a data file captured from a different machine because of objdump. Since the objdump tools won't be used unless annotation was requested, checking its presence at init time doesn't make sense. Reported-by:

Currently various hist browser functions receive 3 arguments for refreshing histogram but only used from a few places. Also it's only for perf top command so that it can be NULL for other (and probably most) cases. Pack them into a struct in order to reduce number of those unused arguments. This is a mechanical change and does not intend a functional change. Signed-off-by:

David reported that perf report for i686 target data on x86_64 host failed to work because it tried to find out cross-compiled objdump. However objdump for x86_64 is compatible to i686 so that it doesn't need to do it at all. To prevent similar artifacts, normalize arch name when comparing host and file architectures. Reported-by:

The idea is run perf session with kidnapping sys_perf_event_open function. For each sys_perf_event_open call we store the perf_event_attr data to the file to be checked later against what we expect. You can run this by: $ python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -v v2 changes: - preserve errno value in the hook Signed-off-by:

If git is installed we'll have a 'perf --version' output of this form: $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.rc3.g3afad6 Now on a machine without git installed: $ mv /home/acme/bin/git /home/acme/bin/git.OFF $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.0-rc2 That is, no error message due to git not being installed will appear on the screen and instead the version string in the top level Makefile will be used.

There's another source of overhead in the perf version string generator: git update-index -q --refresh ... which will iterate the whole checked out tree. This can be pretty slow on NFS volumes, but takes some time even with local SSD disks and a fully cached kernel tree: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.306999221 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.56% ) So remove the .dirty differentiator as well - it adds little information because locally patched git trees are common, but seldom are the perf tools modified. So a lot of version strings are reported as 'dirty' while in fact they are pristine perf builds. For example 99% of my perf builds are not patched but the kernel tree is slightly patched, which adds the .dirty tag. Eliminating that tag speeds up version generation by another order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.021270923 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.94% ) (Also clean up some of the comments around this code.)

Building perf is pretty slow on trees that have a lot of commits relative to the nearest Git tag. This slowness manifests itself during version string generation: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 2.857503976 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) The build can be even slower than that, when one over NFS volumes. The reason for the slowness is that util/PERF-VERSION-GEN uses "git describe" to generate the string, which has to count the "number of commits distance" from the nearest tag - the ".1458." count in the output above. For that Git had to extract and decompress 1458 Git objects, which takes time and bandwidth. But this "number of commits" value is mostly irrelevant in practice. We either want to know an approximate tag name, or we want to know the precise sha1. So this patch simplifies the version string to: PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty which speeds up the version string generation script by an order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.307633559 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.84% ) Signed-off-by: -

When perf detects no libelf during the build, it'll use internal mini elf parser instead of libelf. But as it only supports minimal functionalities, it also disables support to 'probe' builtin command. Currently it didn't warned to user.

FYI, there are new sparse warnings: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:1356:18: sparse: symbol 'events_attr' was not declared. Should it be static?

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements, fixes and code move from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * Initialize 'page_size' variable in the python binding, this was sent for perf/urgent by mistake, then when merging Ingo removed it, fixing the problem for perf/urgent, but when perf/urgent was merged with perf/core, where that initialization is needed, made the python binding mmap call to fail, fix it by initializing page_size again. * Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the report and annotate browsers. It does filtering to find the scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used. From Feng Tang * Move some functions from symbol.c to more appropriate files, creating dso.[ch] in the process, no code changes. From Jiri Olsa * Fix mmap error output message for when perf_mmap fails and returns !-EPERM, where the default for mmap_pages, INT_MAX, was causing a !power of 2 error message, fix from Jiri Olsa.

The commit 0c1fe6b2: 'perf tools: Have the page size value available for all tools' Broke the python binding because the global variable 'page_size' is initialized on the main() routine, that is not called when using just the python binding, causing evlist.mmap() to fail because it expects that variable to be initialized to the system's page size. Fix it by initializing it on the binding init routine. Reported-by:
