perf script: Show binary offsets for userspace addr

2021-10-27T23:56:36+00:00

Show binary offsets for userspace addr with map in perf script output with callchain. In commit 19610184693c("perf script: Show virtual addresses instead of offsets"), the addr shown in perf script output with callchain is changed from binary offsets to virtual address to fix the incorrectness when displaying symbol offset. This is inconvenient in scenario that the binary is stripped and symbol cannot be resolved. If someone wants to further resolve symbols for specific binaries later, he would need an extra step to translate virtual address to binary offset with mapping information recorded in perf.data, which can be difficult for people not familiar with perf. This patch modifies function sample__fprintf_callchain to print binary offset for userspace addr with dsos, and virtual address otherwise. It does not affect symbol offset calculation so symoff remains correct.

perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command

2021-01-20T17:34:21+00:00

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events. When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf record terminal. The interface string for control file is: evlist [-v|-g|-F] The syntax follows perf evlist command: -F Show just the sample frequency used for each event. -v Show all fields. -g Show event group information. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}' terminal 2: # echo evlist > control terminal 1: cycles instructions dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -v' > control terminal 1: cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: \ IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \ sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \ sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, \ comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \ bpf_event: 1 terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -g' > control terminal 1: {cycles,instructions} dummy:HG terminal 2: # echo 'evlist -F' > control terminal 1: cycles: sample_freq=4000 instructions: sample_freq=4000 dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000 This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when wildcards are used. Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because it's now evlist.c dependency. Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c object.

perf evsel: Rename perf_evselfprintf() to evselfprintf()

perf callchain: Use 'struct map_symbol' in 'struct callchain_cursor_node'

2019-11-12T11:20:53+00:00

To ease passing around map+symbol, just like done for other parts of the tree recently. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h

2019-09-25T19:26:34+00:00

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can reduce evsel.h a bit more. We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

perf evsel: Remove need for symbol_conf in evsel_fprintf.c

perf callchain: Remove needless event.h include

2019-09-20T12:19:21+00:00

All we need is a bunch of struct forward declarations and then add event.h to the only place that was getting it indirectly via callchain.h.
