  • Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to
    where it belongs.

  • 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.

  • So that we don't use global variables that could make us misreport event
    names when having a multi window top, for instance.

  • It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
    being placed in the bss.

    Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist
    routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL.

    The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:

    gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)

    But not on several other systems, by luck.

  • There was no easy way to see the frequency used, and with the change of
    default, we better provide one.

    [root@sandy linux]# perf evlist -F
    cycles: sample_freq=4000
    [root@sandy linux]# perf evlist -v
    cycles: sample_freq=4000, size: 80, sample_type: 391, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

  • The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
    perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
    behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

    # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
    failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)

    While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
    read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

    Applies to the following commands:

    perf annotate
    perf buildid-list
    perf evlist
    perf kmem
    perf lock
    perf report
    perf sched
    perf script
    perf timechart

    Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
    strings.

    v2:
    * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
    builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
    browser if stdout is a pipe"
