[PATCH] perf tools: Replace MAX_NR_CPUS with nr_cpus_onln

[PATCH] perf tools: Replace MAX_NR_CPUS with nr_cpus_onln

[Kyle Meyer]

The variables nr_cpus_onln and max_caches are dynamic alternatives for
MAX_NR_CPUS and MAX_CACHES as they are initialized at runtime. MAX_NR_CPUS
is still used by DECLARE_BITMAP() at compile time, however, nr_cpus_onln
replaces it elsewhere throughout perf.

This patch was tested using "perf record -a -g" on both an eight socket
(288 CPUs) system and a single socket (36 CPUs) system. Each system was then
rebooted single socket (36 CPUs) / eight socket (288 CPUs) and "perf
report" used to read the perf.data file. "perf report --header" was used to
confirm that each perf.data had information on 288 CPUs / 36 CPUs.

This patch is meant to be built against perf tools: Increase MAX_NR_CPUS and
MAX_CACHES (commit 9f94c7f947e919c343b30f080285af53d0fa9902).

hi,
could you please rebase to latest Arnaldo's perf/core,
the cpumap.c got changed recently and I can't apply
your patch anymore:

	patching file perf.c

hi,
now we need to take care about the library,
that reminds me to add automaketed compile
test for this:

so how about if cpu is added during the record session,
should we rather use 'possible' cpus, like in cpu__max_cpu?

also we could move cpu__max_cpu we could to libperf
so the library code would still work

as I said earlier the problem here might be that you change
report path, that needs to check on either MAX_NR_CPUS,
(as it currently does) or the number of cpus of the server
where was perf.data recorded.. which is not necessarily
the one you are running report on..

the cpu info is in perf_session::header::env

machine__get_current_tid is used from intel_pt and
perf_session is part of 'struct intel_pt *pt' caller
argument, so it needs to be passed in here

ale the other changes needs to be check in the same way

thanks,
jirka

[PATCH] perf tools: Replace MAX_NR_CPUS with nr_cpus_onln

[Kyle Meyer]

The variables nr_cpus_onln and max_caches are dynamic alternatives for
MAX_NR_CPUS and MAX_CACHES as they are initialized at runtime. MAX_NR_CPUS
is still used by DECLARE_BITMAP() at compile time, however, nr_cpus_onln
replaces it elsewhere throughout perf.

This patch was tested using "perf record -a -g" on both an eight socket
(288 CPUs) system and a single socket (36 CPUs) system. Each system was then
rebooted single socket (36 CPUs) / eight socket (288 CPUs) and "perf
report" used to read the perf.data file. "perf report --header" was used to
confirm that each perf.data had information on 288 CPUs / 36 CPUs.
