perf script: Add script print support for namespace events
Introduce a new option to display events of type PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES and update perf-script documentation accordingly. Shown below is output (trimmed) of perf script command with the newly introduced option, on perf.data generated with perf record command using --namespaces option. $ perf script --show-namespace-events swapper 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 1/1 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf000001c, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] swapper 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 2/2 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf000001c, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] Commiter notes: Testing it: Investigating that double PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES for the 19155 pid/tid... Its more than that, there are two PERF_RECORD_COMM as well, and with zeroed timestamps, so probably a synthesizing artifact... # perf script --show-task --show-namespace <SNIP> perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_COMM: perf:19154/19154 perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_FORK(19155:19155):(19154:19154) perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 19155/19155 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf0000081, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_COMM: perf:19155/19155 perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_COMM: perf:19155/19155 perf 0 [000] 0.000000: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 19155/19155 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf0000081, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] swapper 0 [000] 3110.881834: 1 cycles: ffffffffa7060bf6 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux) <SNIP> Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Aravinda Prasad <aravinda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sargun Dhillon <sargun@sargun.me> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/148891932627.25309.1941587059154176221.stgit@hbathini.in.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
