2016-05-11perf tools: Fix perf regs mask generationNaveen N. Rao
On some architectures (powerpc in particular), the number of registers exceeds what can be represented in an integer bitmask. Ensure we generate the proper bitmask on such platforms. Fixes: 71ad0f5e4 ("perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing") Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

2015-10-07perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masksSukadev Bhattiprolu
perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up. Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that function. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Naveen N.

2015-09-01perf tools: Fix link time error with sample_reg_masks on non x86Stephane Eranian
This patch makes perf compile on non x86 platforms by defining a weak symbol for sample_reg_masks[] in util/perf_regs.c. The patch also moves the REG() and REG_END() macros into the util/per_regs.h header file. The macros are renamed to SMPL_REG/SMPL_REG_END to avoid clashes with other header files.

2014-06-12perf tools: Cache register accesses for unwind processingJiri Olsa
Caching registers value into an array. Got about 4% speed up of perf_reg_value function for report command processing dwarf unwind stacks. Output from report over 1.5 GB data with DWARF unwind stacks: (TODO fix perf diff) current code: 5.84% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value change: 1.94% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value And little bit of overall speed up: (perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles,instructions}:u' ...) current code: 310,298,611,754 cycles ( +- 0.33% ) 439,669,689,341 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 188.656753166 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.82% ) change: 291,315,329,878 cycles ( +- 0.22% ) 391,763,485,304 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 180.742249687 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.64% ) Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jean Pihet <jean.pihet@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401892622-30848-2-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
2014-02-18perf callchain: Separate perf_reg_value function in perf_regs objectJiri Olsa
Making perf_reg_value function global (formely reg_value), because it's going to be used globaly across all code providing the dwarf post unwind feature. Changing its prototype to be generic: -int reg_value(unw_word_t *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id) +int perf_reg_value(u64 *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id); Changing the valp type from libunwind specific 'unw_word_t' to u64.
