[PATCH v1 0/8] perf: Follow-up patches to improve time slice

[PATCH v1 0/8] perf: Follow-up patches to improve time slice

[Jin Yao]

It's follow-up patches to improve the perf time slice feature
(perf report/script --time xxx)

1. Improve the error message
   perf report: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
   perf script: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found

2. Fix an issue that illegal percent was accepted previously (e.g. 1abc%)
   perf util: Improve error checking for time percent input

3. Omit the slice index if possible. For example,
   perf report --stdio --time 10%/1 is equivalent to
   perf report --stdio --time 10%

   perf util: Support no index time percent slice 

4. Add indication of time slices in perf report header.
   perf report: Add an indication of what time slices are used

5. Remove the time slices number limitation in perf report/script
   perf util: Allocate time slices buffer according to number of comma
   perf report: Remove the time slices number limitation
   perf script: Remove the time slices number limitation

Jin Yao (8):
  perf report: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
  perf script: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
  perf util: Improve error checking for time percent input
  perf util: Support no index time percent slice
  perf report: Add an indication of what time slices are used
  perf util: Allocate time slices buffer according to number of comma
  perf report: Remove the time slices number limitation

[PATCH v1 1/8] perf report: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found

The following message will be returned to user when executing
'perf report --time' if perf data file doesn't contain the
first/last sample time.

"HINT: no first/last sample time found in perf data.
 Please use latest perf binary to execute 'perf record'

[PATCH v1 3/8] perf util: Improve error checking for time percent input

[Jin Yao]

The command line like 'perf report --stdio --time 1abc%/1' could be
accepted by perf. It looks not very good.

This patch uses strtod() to replace original atof() and check the
entire string. Now for the same command line, it would return error
message "Invalid time string".

[PATCH v1 4/8] perf util: Support no index time percent slice

[Jin Yao]

Previously, the time percent slice needs an index to specify
which one the user wants.

While it may be easy for using if the index can be omitted.
So with this patch, for example,

perf report --stdio --time 10%/1 should be equivalent to
perf report --stdio --time 10%

[PATCH v1 5/8] perf report: Add an indication of what time slices are used

[Jin Yao]

Add a time slices indication to the perf report header.

For example,

  # perf report --stdio --time 10%

  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:ppp' (time slices: 10%)
  # Event count (approx.): 8951288803

[PATCH v1 6/8] perf util: Allocate time slices buffer according to number of comma

[Jin Yao]

Previously we use a magic number 10 to limit the number of
time slices. It's not very good.

This patch creates a new function perf_time__range_alloc()
to allocate time slices buffer. The number of buffer entries is
determined by the number of comma in string but at least it will
allocate one entry even if no comma is found.

You don't need to check if it is NULL, free(NULL) is ok and more
compact, I'm fixing this.
