perf tools: Do proper comm override error handling

2014-01-16T19:44:39Z

The comm overriding API ignores memory allocation failures by silently keeping the previous and out of date comm. As a result, the user may get buggy events without ever being notified about the problem and its source. Lets start to fix this by propagating the error from the API. Not all callers may be doing proper error handling on comm set yet but this is the first step toward it.

perf tools: Fix inverted error verification bug in thread__fork

2013-12-13T13:30:21Z

Commit 1902efe7f for the new comm infra added the wrong check for return code on thread__set_comm. err == 0 is normal, so don't return at that point unless err != 0.

perf tools: Tag thread comm as overriden

2013-11-19T13:33:29Z

The problem is that when a thread overrides its default ":%pid" comm, we forget to tag the thread comm as overriden. Hence, this overriden comm is not inherited on future forks. Fix it.

perf tools: Get current comm instead of last one

2013-11-04T15:16:39Z

At insert time, a hist entry should reference comm at the time otherwise it'll get the last comm anyway.

perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructure

2013-11-04T15:13:53Z

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features: 1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events. As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork. 2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort infrastructure.

perf tools: Add time argument on COMM setting

2013-11-04T14:57:06Z

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to a precise COMM:timeslice couple. PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread without time informations.

perf tools: Use an accessor to read thread comm

2013-11-04T14:50:28Z

As the thread comm is going to be implemented by way of a more complicated data structure than just a pointer to a string from the thread struct, convert the readers of comm to use an accessor instead of accessing it directly. The accessor will be later overriden to support an enhanced comm implementation.

perf tools: Stop using 'self' in some more places

2013-10-23T12:55:37Z

As suggested by tglx, 'self' should be replaced by something that is more useful.

perf tools: Add pid to struct thread

2013-08-27T14:05:53Z

Record pid on struct thread. The member is named 'pid_' to avoid confusion with the 'tid' member which was previously named 'pid'.

perf tools: struct thread has a tid not a pid

2013-07-12T16:53:50Z

As evident from 'machine__process_fork_event()' and 'machine__process_exit_event()' the 'pid' member of struct thread is actually the tid. Rename 'pid' to 'tid' in struct thread accordingly.
