      perf report: Add a popup menu to ask what operation is to be performed · 53c54019
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      

Right now it presents a menu with these options:

 +------------------------------+
 | Annotate CURRENT_SYMBOL_NAME |
 | Exit                         |
 +------------------------------+

If the highlighted (current) symbol is not annotatable only the
"Exit" option will appear.

Also add a confirmation dialog when ESC is pressed on the top
level to avoid exiting the application by pressing one too many
ESC key.

To get to the menu just press the -> (Right navigation key), to
exit just press ESC.

      x86, perf: Add raw events support for the P4 PMU · d814f301
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored 
      

The adding of raw event support lead to complete code
refactoring. I hope is became more readable then it was.

The list of changes:

1)  The 64bit config field is enough to hold all information we need
    to track event details. To achieve it we used *own* enum for
    events selection in ESCR register and map this key into proper
    value at moment of event enabling.

    For the same reason we use 12LSB bits in CCCR register -- to track
    which exactly cache trace event was requested. And we cear this bits
    at real 'write' moment.

2)  There is no per-cpu area reserved for P4 PMU anymore. We
    don't need it. All is held by config.

3)  Now we may use any available counter, ie we try to grab any
    possible counter.

v2:
  - Lin Ming reported the lack of ESCR selector in CCCR for cache events

v3:
  - Don't loose cache event codes at config unpacking procedure, we may
    need it one day so no obscure hack behind our back, better to clear
    reserved bits explicitly when needed (thanks Ming for pointing out)

  - Lin Ming fixed misplaced opcodes in cache events

      perf report: Implement Newt callgraphs · 4ded2b25
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      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 301fde27

, without that we were tripping a newt bug (fix
already sent to newt's maintainer).

Cleanup debuginfo related code to eliminate fragile code which
pointed by Ingo (Thanks!).
1) Invert logic of NO_DWARF_SUPPORT to DWARF_SUPPORT.
2) For removing assymetric/local variable ifdefs, introduce
  more helper functions.
3) Change options order to reduce the number of ifdefs.

      perf: Fix orphan callchain branches · 301fde27
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      

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.
