2022-02-23libperf: Add API for allocating new thread map arrayTzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)1-0/+1
The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread. Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases. That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array() Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <[email protected]> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Ian Rogers <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
2022-02-23libperf: Rename arguments of perf_thread_map APIsTzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)1-3/+3
The "int thread" input arguments of some perf_thead_map APIs are index of the thread in the thread map. In order to avoid confusion and to make the APIs consistent with perf_cpu_map APIs, those arguments are renamed to "int idx".

Make the cpu map argument const for consistency with the rest of the API. Modify cpu_map__idx accordingly.

2021-04-15libperf: Add evsel mmap supportRob Herring1-0/+3
In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add new perf_evsel__mmap()/perf_evsel_munmap() functions to mmap/munmap an evsel. This allows implementing userspace access as a fastpath for perf_evsel__read(). The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap_base() which primarily for users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.

2020-01-06libperf: Add man pagesJiri Olsa13-228/+1193
Change the man page generation to asciidoc, because it's easier to use and has been more commonly used in related projects. Remove the current rst pages. Add 3 man pages to have a base for more additions: libperf.3 - overall description libperf-counting.7 - counting basics explained on simple example libperf-sampling.7 - sampling basics explained on simple example The plan is to add more man pages to cover the basic API. The build generates html and man pages: $ cd tools/lib/perf/Documentation $ make ASCIIDOC libperf.xml XMLTO libperf.3 ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.xml XMLTO libperf-counting.7 ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.xml XMLTO libperf-sampling.7 ASCIIDOC libperf.html ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.html ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.html Add the following install targets: install-man - man pages install-html - html version of man pages install-examples - examples mentioned in the man pages Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> Cc: Michael Petlan <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

Move libperf from its current location under tools/perf to a separate directory under tools/lib/. Also change various paths (mainly includes) to reflect the libperf move to a separate directory and add a new directory under MANIFEST.
