2015-04-02perf evlist: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownershipYunlong Song
Enable perf evlist to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root. Example: # perf record ls # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data # ls -al perf.data -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28260 Apr 2 10:18 perf.data # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11) Before this patch: # perf evlist File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf evlist -f Error: unknown switch `f' usage: perf evlist [<options>] -i, --input <file> Input file name -F, --freq Show the sample frequency -v, --verbose Show all event attr details -g, --group Show event group information As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. After this patch: # perf evlist File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override) # perf evlist -f cycles As shown above, the -f option really works now.

2014-01-13perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friendsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact. Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__', as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this case.

2013-10-21perf tools: Add data object to handle perf data fileJiri Olsa
This patch is adding 'struct perf_data_file' object as a placeholder for all attributes regarding perf.data file handling. Changing perf_session__new to take it as an argument. The rest of the functionality will be added later to keep this change simple enough, because all the places using perf_session are changed now.

2012-10-29perf tools: Add a global variable "const char *input_name"Feng Tang
Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data. Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for it, also it can some other benefits: 1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs to know the perf data file name to run that script. 2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file, this variable can also help.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2012-05-23perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_nameArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by being placed in the bss. Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL. The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using: gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) But not on several other systems, by luck.

2011-12-23perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.
