[PATCH/RFC 0/4] perf ui/gtk: Separate out GTK code to a shared object (v2)

[PATCH/RFC 0/4] perf ui/gtk: Separate out GTK code to a shared object (v2)

[Namhyung Kim]

Hi,

This is v2 of gtk code separation patchset to reduce library
dependencies of the perf executable.

I only built libperf-gtk.so with -fPIC, and it's not linked to libperf
at build time.  All unresolved symbols used for perf should be
resolved at runtime via perf executable (so libperf.a) - I didn't know
that the linker permits unresolved symbols in a shared library at
build time.

Tested on my x86-64 machine only.  It seems work well for me.

The patch 1 is a bug fix and can be applied independently.

You can find it on my 'perf/separate-v2' branch in my tree at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git


Any comments are welcome, thanks
Namhyung

[PATCH 1/4] perf ui/gtk: Fix segmentation fault on perf_hpp__for_each_format loop

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

The commit 2b8bfa6bb8a7 ("perf tools: Centralize default columns init
in perf_hpp__init") moves initialization of common overhead column to
perf_hpp__init() but forgot about the gtk code.

So the gtk code added the same column to the list twice causing
infinite loop when iterating it by perf_hpp__for_each_format loop.
When I run perf report --gtk, I can see following messages
indefinitely.

  (perf:11687): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion 'main_loops != NULL' failed

[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Separate out GTK codes to libperf-gtk.so
