2012-05-23perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_nameArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
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.

2011-12-23perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter1-1/+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" Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323248577-11268-5-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
