2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea1-2/+4
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.

For annotate I want to be able to have variables that are the same as the ones representing feature toggles.

2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle1-2/+2
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <[email protected]>

2011-08-08perf tools: do not look at ./config for configurationJonathan Nieder1-7/+0
In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at $GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior in some unexpected way. "config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment variable.

2010-06-05perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dirStephane Eranian1-1/+63
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.

2010-05-18perf tools: Remove some unused functionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-455/+6
Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with: $ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install Before: text data bss dec hex filename 471851 29280 4025056 4526187 45106b /home/acme/bin/perf After: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf text data bss dec hex filename 446886 29232 4008576 4484694 446e56 /home/acme/bin/perf So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git diff --stat output: 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-) If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

2009-08-16perf: Enable more compiler warningsIngo Molnar1-9/+13
Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have helped us avoid the bug. So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 warnings: -Wcast-align -Wformat=2 -Wshadow -Winit-self -Wpacked -Wredundant-decls -Wstack-protector -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wswitch-default -Wswitch-enum -Wno-system-headers -Wundef -Wvolatile-register-var -Wwrite-strings -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wold-style-definition -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2. The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on perf. I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build. If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning. If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.) I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage description and which produced no actual warnings on our code base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up being a nuisance. I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older compilers. [ Note that these changes might break the build on older compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ] Reported-by: [email protected] Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Mike Galbraith <[email protected]> Cc: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Add more warnings and fix/annotate themIngo Molnar1-8/+10
Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It also required a few annotations All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with this enabled for now.
