Commit Message

Namhyung Kim May 25, 2023, 10:09 p.m. UTC
  I've just realized that help message in a subcommand didn't show one
in the parent command.  Since the option parser understands the parent,
display code should do the same.  For example, `perf ftrace latency -h`
should show options in the `perf ftrace` command too.

Before:

  $ perf ftrace latency -h

   Usage: perf ftrace [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf ftrace [<options>] -- [<command>] [<options>]
      or: perf ftrace {trace|latency} [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf ftrace {trace|latency} [<options>] -- [<command>] [<options>]

      -b, --use-bpf         Use BPF to measure function latency
      -n, --use-nsec        Use nano-second histogram
      -T, --trace-funcs <func>
                            Show latency of given function

After:

  $ perf ftrace latency -h

   Usage: perf ftrace [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf ftrace [<options>] -- [<command>] [<options>]
      or: perf ftrace {trace|latency} [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf ftrace {trace|latency} [<options>] -- [<command>] [<options>]

      -a, --all-cpus        System-wide collection from all CPUs
      -b, --use-bpf         Use BPF to measure function latency
      -C, --cpu <cpu>       List of cpus to monitor
      -n, --use-nsec        Use nano-second histogram
      -p, --pid <pid>       Trace on existing process id
      -T, --trace-funcs <func>
                            Show latency of given function
      -v, --verbose         Be more verbose
          --tid <tid>       Trace on existing thread id (exclusive to --pid)

Why use "goto retry" and not compute the size with the parent upfront?

It'd be nice to comment on why the "!o->parent" here.

No specific reason, just followed the same pattern as in
parse_{short,long}_opt(). :)

What about this?

/* It needs a terminating NULL entry when there's no parent */

:-) Could those loops not be:

for (; options; options = options->parent) {
...
}

rather than using a goto?

Perhaps:
the length is given by the number of options plus a null terminator
for the last loop iteration.

It may be cleaner to just compute this after nr_opts settles. perhaps
something along the lines of:

for (p = .. ; p; p = p->parent)
   for (o = p; o->type != OPTION_END; o++)
                 ++nr_opts;
len = sizeof(*o) * (nr_opts + 1); /* +1 for terminator */
