* perf session: Parse sample earlierArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-12-041-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already parsed. This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

* perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXITArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-07-301-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much. Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit (PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received. For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be done in a followup patch. Cc: David S.

* perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dirStephane Eranian2010-06-051-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

* perf annotate: Use build-ids to find the right DSOArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-201-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were still using the pathname found on the MMAP event, that could not be the one we used when recording, so use the build-id cache for that, only falling back to use the pathname in the MMAP event if no build-ids are available. With this we now also are able to do secure, seamless offline annotation.

* perf build-id: Move the routine to find DSOs with hits to the libArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-02-041-0/+39
Because 'perf record' will have to find the build-ids in after we stop recording, so as to reduce even more the impact in the workload while we do the measurement.
