Everything is nmi these days, remove the userspace bits so that the kernel can drop the interface.

2009-06-02perf_counter: tools: Expand the COMM,MMAP event synthesizerPeter Zijlstra
Include code to pre-construct mappings based on /proc, on system wide recording. Fix the existing code to properly fill out ->pid and ->tid. The PID should be the Thread Group ID (PIDTYPE_PID of task->group_leader) The TID should be the Thread ID (PIDTYPE_PID of task) Furthermore, change the default sorting of report to comm,dso for a better quick overview.

2009-06-02perf_counter tools: Cleanup MakefileMike Galbraith
We currently build perf-stat/record etc, only to do nothing with them. We also install the perf binary in two places, $prefix/bin and $perfexec_instdir, which appears to be for binaries which perf would exec were a command not linked in. Correct this, and comment out broken/incomplete targets dist and coverage.

2009-05-31perf_counter tools: Fix unknown command help textIngo Molnar
Arjan reported this error when entering an unknown command to perf: $ perf start fatal: Uh oh. Your system reports no Git commands at all. The Git code expects there to be perf-* commands - but since Perf is a 'pure' utility with no dash commands anymore, this old assumption of Git does not hold anymore. Remove that error check.

2009-05-30perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.)Ingo Molnar
Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery. Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well. Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop' if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the modern form so it's not an issue there.

2009-05-30perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf topArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf top We need to protect the active_symbols list as two threads change it: the main thread adding entries to the head and the display thread decaying entries from any place in the list. Also related: take a snapshot of syme->count[0] before using it to calculate the weight and to show the same number used in this calc when displaying the symbol usage.

Add new column that normalizes counter results by 'nanoseconds spent running' unit.
