<id>urn:sha1:7c689c839734a23eda855e69a56ed4795533bf71</id>
<content type='text'>
Add new '__rel_loc' dynamic data location attribute support.
This type attribute is similar to the '__data_loc' but records the
offset from the field itself.
The libtraceevent adds TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE to the
'tep_format_field::flags' with TEP_FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC for'__rel_loc'.

Switch from the libc-defined __BYTE_ORDER to the compiler-defined
__BYTE_ORDER__ in order to make endianness detection more robust, like
it was done for libbpf.

<title>perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()</title>

<content type='text'>
The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others
passes 'false'.  Let's remove it from the function signature and add
__perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly.

This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.

<title>perf data: Add JSON export</title>
<updated>2021-04-29T13:30:58+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=d0713d4ca3e94827de77f8758e3e8045a0d85215'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d0713d4ca3e94827de77f8758e3e8045a0d85215</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a feature to export perf data to JSON.

The resolved symbols are exported into the JSON so that external tools
don't need to load the dsos themselves (or even have access to them at
all.) This makes it easy to load and analyze perf data with standalone
tools where direct perf or libbabeltrace integration is impractical.

The exporter uses a minimal inline JSON encoding without any external
dependencies. Currently it only outputs some headers and sample metadata
but it's easily extensible.

Use it like this:

  $ perf data convert --to-json out.json

Committer notes:

Fixup a __printf() bug that broke the build:

  util/data-convert-json.c:103:11: error: expected ‘)’ before numeric constant
    103 | __(printf, 5, 6)
        |           ^~
        |           )
  util/data-convert-json.c: In function ‘output_sample_callchain_entry’:
  util/data-convert-json.c:124:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘output_json_key_format’; did you mean ‘output_json_format’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    124 |  output_json_key_format(out, false, 5, "ip", "\"0x%" PRIx64 "\"", ip);
        |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |  output_json_format

Also had to add this patch to fix errors reported by various versions of
clang:

  -       if (al &amp;&amp; al-&gt;sym &amp;&amp; al-&gt;sym-&gt;name &amp;&amp; strlen(al-&gt;sym-&gt;name) &gt; 0) {
  +       if (al &amp;&amp; al-&gt;sym &amp;&amp; al-&gt;sym-&gt;namelen) {

al-&gt;sym-&gt;name is a zero sized array, to avoid one extra alloc in the
symbol__new() constructor, sym-&gt;namelen carries its strlen.

Committer testing:

  $ ls -la out.json
  ls: cannot access 'out.json': No such file or directory
  $ perf record sleep 0.1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $ perf report --stats | grep -w SAMPLE

  $ perf data convert --to-json out.json

<title>perf data: Add support to store time of day in CTF data conversion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88371c5898fc9e7c9faeb7f53ab9082b4e84b7a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Adad support to convert and store time of day in CTF data conversion for
'perf data convert' subcommand.

The perf.data used for conversion needs to have clock data information -
must be recorded with -k/--clockid option).

New --tod option is added to 'perf data convert' subcommand to convert
data with timestamps converted to wall clock time.

Record data with clockid set:

  # perf record -k CLOCK_MONOTONIC kill
  kill: not enough arguments
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.033 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]

Convert data with TOD timestamps:

  # perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.000 MB (8 samples) ]

Display data in perf script:

  # perf script -F+tod --ns
            perf 262150 2020-07-13 18:38:50.097678523 153633.958246159:          1 cycles: ...
            perf 262150 2020-07-13 18:38:50.097682941 153633.958250577:          1 cycles: ...
            perf 262150 2020-07-13 18:38:50.097684997 153633.958252633:          7 cycles: ...
  ...

Display data in babeltrace:

  # babeltrace --clock-date  ./ctf
  [2020-07-13 18:38:50.097678523] (+?.?????????) cycles: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFF ...
  [2020-07-13 18:38:50.097682941] (+0.000004418) cycles: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFF ...
  [2020-07-13 18:38:50.097684997] (+0.000002056) cycles: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFF ...
  ...

It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.

Error is display if you want to use --tod on data without clockid
specified:

  # perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
  Can't provide --tod time, missing clock data. Please record with -k/--clockid option.
  Failed to setup CTF writer.
  Error during conversion setup.

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.

Test Results:

Before Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  0
  $

After Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  254
  $

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.
