perf script python: Allow reporting the [un]throttle PERF_RECORD_ meta event

2021-09-03T11:18:25+00:00

perf_events may sometimes throttle an event due to creating too many samples during a given timer tick. As of now, the perf tool will not report on throttling, which means this is a silent error. Implement a callback for the throttle and unthrottle events within the Python scripting engine, which can allow scripts to detect and report when events may have been lost due to throttling. The simplest script to report throttle events is: def throttle(*args): print("throttle" + repr(args)) def unthrottle(*args): print("unthrottle" + repr(args)) Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210901210815.133251-1-stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script python: Fix buffer size to report iregs in perf script

2021-07-07T14:15:44+00:00

Commit 48a1f565261d2ab1 ("perf script python: Add more PMU fields to event handler dict") added functionality to report fields like weight, iregs, uregs etc via perf report. That commit predefined buffer size to 512 bytes to print those fields. But in PowerPC, since we added extended regs support in: 068aeea3773a6f4c ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs") d735599a069f6936 ("powerpc/perf: Add extended regs support for power10 platform") Now iregs can carry more bytes of data and this predefined buffer size can result to data loss in perf script output. This patch resolves this issue by making the buffer size dynamic, based on the number of registers needed to print. It also changes the regs_map() return type from int to void, as it is not being used by the set_regs_in_dict(), its only caller.

perf scripting python: Assign perf_script_context

2021-06-01T13:03:33+00:00

The scripting_context pointer itself does not change and nor does it need to. Put it directly into the script as a variable at the start so it does not have to be passed on each call into the script.

perf scripting: Add perf_session to scripting_context

perf scripting: Add scripting_context__update()

2021-06-01T13:03:02+00:00

Move scripting_context update to a separate function and add the arguments of ->process_event() to it. This prepares the way for adding more methods to the perf_trace_context module, by providing the context information that they will need.
