tools lib traceevent: Add support for __print_hex()

2012-06-29T16:28:12+00:00

Since the __print_hex() function is used in print fmt now, add corresponding parser routines. This makes the output of perf script on the kvm_emulate_insn event not to fail any more. before: kvm_emulate_insn: [FAILED TO PARSE] rip=3238197797 ... after: kvm_emulate_insn: 0:c102fa25:89 10 (prot32) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340757701-10711-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list

2012-06-27T16:08:42+00:00

The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single global pevent variable and use the per session one. Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not interested at all in what is present in the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis, just in what is in the perf.data file. This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

perf script: Rename struct event to struct event_format in perl engine

perf script: Explicitly handle known default print arg type

2012-05-22T15:31:26+00:00

Handle the print argument types brought by the new libparsevent in perl scripting engine. PRINT_BSTRING and PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY are treated just like strings and thus don't require specific processing. But PRINT_FUNC need specific plugins which are not yet handled, lets warn if we meet this case. This fixes: util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c: In function define_event_symbol: util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c:188: error: enumeration value PRINT_BSTRING not handled in switch util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c:188: error: enumeration value PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY not handled in switch util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c:188: error: enumeration value PRINT_FUNC not handled in switch Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Tom Zanussi Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337697049-30251-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf: Have perf use the new libtraceevent.a library

2012-04-25T11:28:48+00:00

The event parsing code in perf was originally copied from trace-cmd but never was kept up-to-date with the changes that was done there. The trace-cmd libtraceevent.a code is much more mature than what is currently in perf. This updates the code to use wrappers to handle the calls to the new event parsing code. The new code requires a handle to be pass around, which removes the global event variables and allows more than one event structure to be read from different files (and different machines). But perf still has the old global events and the code throughout perf does not yet have a nice way to pass around a handle. A global 'pevent' has been made for perf and the old calls have been created as wrappers to the new event parsing code that uses the global pevent. With this change, perf can later incorporate the pevent handle into the perf structures and allow more than one file to be read and compared, that contains different events.

perf tools: Remove unnecessary ctype.h inclusion

2012-01-30T20:37:35+00:00

There are unnecessary #include out there, and they might cause a nasty build failure in some environment. As we already have most of ctype macros in util.h, just get rid of them. A few of exceptions are util/symbol.c which needs isupper() macro util.h doesn't provide and perl scripting support code which includes ctype.h internally.

perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events

2011-12-23T19:05:48+00:00

The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than tracepoints too. This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding. The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can also be generated with perf script: # Packed byte string args of process_event(): # # $event: union perf_event util/event.h # $attr: struct perf_event_attr linux/perf_event.h # $sample: struct perf_sample util/event.h # $raw_data: perf_sample->raw_data util/event.h sub process_event { my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_; my @event = unpack("LSS", $event); my @attr = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr); my @sample = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample); my @raw_data = unpack("C*", $raw_data); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data; } Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323969824-9711-4-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_ops

perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()

2011-03-23T22:28:58+00:00

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools, report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to properly support multi-event perf.data files. Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).
