perf tools: Fixup mmap event consumption (2013-10-28 16:06:00 -0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/urgent fixes:
. Add color overhead for stdio output buffer, which fixes
--stdio output being chopped up on the hot (red) entries,
fix from Jiri Olsa.
. Get 'perf record -g -a sleep 1' working again, removing the
need for -- separating perf options from the workload, restoring
ages old behaviour, fix from Jiri Olsa.
More patches allowing ~/.perfconfig setting up of default
callchain collecting method ("fp" or "dwarf") left for next
merge window.
. Fixup mmap event consumption, where we were acking the
consumption by writing the tail before actually accessing
the event, which could lead to using overwritten records
in things like 'perf record --call-graph'. from Zhouyi Zhou.

From: Zhouyi Zhou <[email protected]>
The tail position of the event buffer should only be modified after
actually use that event.
If not the event buffer could be invalid before use, and segment fault
occurs when invoking perf top -G.

From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>
Following commit tightened up the buffer size for output to strict width
of used format columns:
99cf666 perf hists: Fix formatting of long symbol names
This works fine until you hit color overhead output which places extra
bytes into output buffer. We need to account for color overhead in the
output buffer. Adding maximum color byte size to the output buffer size.

Splitting -G and --call-graph for record command, so we could use '-G'
with no option.
The '-G' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind
method, which is currently the frame pointers method.
It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.
All current '-G' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.
NOTE: The documentation for top --call-graph option
was wrongly copied from report command.
