perf script: Add not taken event for branches

2025-03-05T17:13:19+00:00

Some hardware (e.g., Arm SPE) can trace the not taken event for branches. Add a flag for this event and support printing it. Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Leo Yan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250304111240.3378214-5-leo.yan@arm.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf script: Separate events from branch types

2025-03-05T17:13:19+00:00

Branch types and events are two different things. A branch type can be a conditional branch, an indirect branch, a procedure call, a return, or an exception taken, etc. The extra event information is provided for what happens during a branch, e.g. if a branch is mispredicted or not taken (specific to conditional branches). To deliver information about branches, this commit separates events from branch types. It parses branch types first, then appends event strings embraced by the '/' character. If multiple events occur, the events is separated with a comma (,). Also add a minor improvement by adding char 'm' in char array for branch mispredict event. Below are extracted sample flags.

perf script: Refactor sample_flags_to_name() function

2025-03-05T17:13:19+00:00

When generating a string for sample flags, the sample_flags_to_name() function lacks the ability to parse the trace start bit or trace end bit. Therefore, the function is invoked multiple times after clearing its unsupported bits. This commit improves the sample_flags_to_name() function to parse sample flags in one go for three kinds of information: - The prefix info for trace start, trace end, etc. - Branch types. - Extra info for transaction and interrupt related info. As a result, the code is simplified to call the sample_flags_to_name() only once. No expectation for any changes in the perf script output.

perf x86: Define arch_fetch_insn in NO_AUXTRACE builds

2024-12-18T19:24:33+00:00

archinsn.c containing arch_fetch_insn was only enabled with CONFIG_AUXTRACE, but this meant that a NO_AUXTRACE build on x86 would use the empty weak version of arch_fetch_insn - weak symbols are a frequent source of errors like this and are outside of the C specification. Change it so that archinsn.c is always built on x86 and make the weak symbol empty version of arch_fetch_insn a strong one guarded by ifdefs. arch_fetch_insn on x86 depends on insn_decode which is a function included then built into intel-pt-insn-decoder.c. intel-pt-insn-decoder.c isn't built in a NO_AUXTRACE=1 build. Separate the insn_decode function from intel-pt-insn-decoder.c by just directly compiling the relevant file. Guard this compilation to be for either always on x86 (because of the use in arch_fetch_insn) or when auxtrace is enabled. Apply the CFLAGS overrides as necessary, reducing the amount of code where warnings are disabled.

perf_sample__sprintf_flags is used in the python C code and so needs to be in the util library rather than a builtin.

Add native_arch as a parameter to script_fetch_insn rather than relying on the builtin-script value that won't be initialized for the dlfilter and python Context use cases. Assume both of those cases are running natively.

The script_spec code is referenced in util/trace-event-scripting but the list was in builtin-script, accessed via a function that required a stub function in python.c. Move all the logic to trace-event-scripting, with lookup and foreach functions exposed for builtin-script's benefit.
