perf script: Fix script_fetch_insn for more than just x86

2026-01-27T04:35:22+00:00

The script_fetch_insn code was only supported on natively running x86. Implement a crude elf_machine_max_instruction_length function and use to give an instruction length on more than just x86. Use the ELF machine to determine the length to use to support cross-architecture development.

perf script: Make printing flags reliable

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

Add a check for the generated string of flags. Print out the raw number if the string generation fails. Use the SAMPLE_FLAGS_STR_ALIGNED_SIZE macro to replace the value '21'.

perf script: Move script_fetch_insn to trace-event-scripting.c

2024-12-18T19:24:32+00:00

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.

perf script: Move script_spec code to trace-event-scripting.c

2024-12-18T19:24:32+00:00

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.

perf build: Include libtraceevent headers directly indicated by pkg-config

2024-11-09T06:42:57+00:00

Currently the libtraceevent's found by pkg-config, which give the include path as: [root@localhost tmp]# pkg-config --cflags libtraceevent -I/usr/local/include/traceevent So we should include the libtraceevent headers directly without "traceevent/" prefix. Update all the users.

perf evsel: Rename get_states() to parse_task_states() and make it public

2024-02-02T06:10:27+00:00

Since get_states() assumes the existence of libtraceevent, so move to where it should belong, i.e, util/trace-event-parse.c, and also rename it to parse_task_states(). Leave evsel_getstate() untouched as it fits well in the evsel category. Also make some necessary tweaks for python support, and get it verified with: perf test python.
