2013-11-14perf symbols: Limit max callchain using max_stack on DWARF unwinding tooArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-4/+5
It was affecting only frame-pointer (fp) based callchain processing. Usage example: perf top --call-graph dwarf,1024 --max-stack 2 Works for any tool that does callchain resolving and provides a --max-stack option.

2013-09-30perf: parse the .debug_frame section in case .eh_frame is not presentJean Pihet1-16/+59
On ARM the debug info is not present in the .eh_frame sections but in .debug_frame instead, in dwarf format. Use libunwind to load and parse the debug info. Dependencies: . if present, libunwind >= 1.1 is needed to prevent a segfault when parsing the dwarf info, . libunwind needs to be configured with --enable-debug-frame. Note: --enable-debug-frame is automatically selected on ARM. Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jean Pihet <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <[email protected]>
2013-08-12perf tools: Remove filter parameter of thread__find_addr_map()Adrian Hunter1-2/+2
Now that the symbol filter is recorded on the machine there is no need to pass it to thread__find_addr_map(). So remove it.

2013-08-07perf symbols: Load kernel maps before usingAdrian Hunter1-2/+2
In order to use kernel maps to read object code, those maps must be adjusted to map to the dso file offset. Because lazy-initialization is used, that is not done until symbols are loaded. However the maps are first used by thread__find_addr_map() before symbols are loaded. So this patch changes thread__find_addr() to "load" kernel maps before using them.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea1-16/+20
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.

2012-08-11perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processingJiri Olsa1-0/+567
This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the applications. Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based on the user register values and user stack dump. The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack. The unwind interface provides following function: unwind__get_entries And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve the backtrace entries: typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry, void *arg); Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: "Frank Ch.
