[PATCH v17 06/19] perf, tools: Support alias descriptions

Tue Sep 29 10:50:44 AEST 2015


From: Andi Kleen <ak at linux.intel.com>

Add support to print alias descriptions in perf list, which
are taken from the generated event files.

The sorting code is changed to put the events with descriptions
at the end. The descriptions are printed as possibly multiple word
wrapped lines.

Example output:

% perf list
...
  arith.fpu_div
       [Divide operations executed]
  arith.fpu_div_active
       [Cycles when divider is busy executing divide operations]

Changelog
	- Delete a redundant free()

Changelog[v14]
	- [Jiri Olsa] Fail, rather than continue if strdup() returns NULL;
	  remove unnecessary __maybe_unused.
