* perf timechart: Fix black idle boxes in the titleThomas Renninger2011-02-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fix is needed for eye of gnome and firefox svg viewers. Only Inkscape can handle the broken case. Compare with the other svg_legenda_box declarations, looks like a typo slipped in at this place.

* perf tools: Fix thread_map event synthesizing in top and recordArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-02-102-7/+17

So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.

* perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepointsHan Pingtian2011-01-061-31/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand, such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like this: *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7] .... The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this: $ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'` The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all events, and will overflow the 'filename' at: strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname)); This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has been found.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file between command modules and the supporting code in util. It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree. There were a couple of #include <linux/perf_event.h> mixed with #include "../../perf_event.h". This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually led perf stat to segfault. Cc: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the libdwfl library before 0.148 fails to analyze live kernel debuginfo, 'perf probe --list' compiled with those old libdwfl sometimes crashes. To avoid that bug, perf probe does not use libdwfl's live kernel analysis routine when it is compiled with older libdwfl. Side effect: perf with older libdwfl doesn't support listing probe in modules with source code line. Those could be shown by symbol+offset.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For kallsyms we don't have the symbol address end, so we do an extra pass and set the symbol end addr as being the start of the next minus one. But this was being done just after we filtered the symbols of a particular type (functions, variables), so the symbol end was sometimes after what it really is. Fixing up symbol end also was falling apart when we have symbol aliases, then the end address of all but the last alias was being set to be before its start. Fix it up by checking for symbol aliases and making the kallsyms__parse routine use the next symbol, whatever its type, as the limit for the previous symbol, passing that end address to the callback. This was detected by the 'perf test' synthetic paranoid regression tests, fix it up so that even that case doesn't mislead us.

If we didn't than we would *always* process events without timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed. While processing all events without timestamps before events with timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples. Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would not be attributed correctly. This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print out a warning if report -D was invoked. This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.
