2012-06-27perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description listArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-47/+50
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.

2012-04-25parse-events: Rename struct record to struct pevent_recordSteven Rostedt1-5/+5
As libtraceevent will be a library, having struct record is far too generic of a name to use. Renaming it to be consistent with the rest of the functions will be a better long term solution.

2012-04-25perf: Have perf use the new libtraceevent.a librarySteven Rostedt1-11/+23
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.

2012-01-31perf tools: Remove unnecessary ctype.h inclusionNamhyung Kim1-1/+0
There are unnecessary #include <ctype.h> 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.

2010-05-20perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip()Tom Zanussi1-6/+13
This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced recently: root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop perf trace started with Perl script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl Fatal: did not read header event commit d00a47cce569a3e660a8c9de5d57af28d6a9f0f7 added a skip() function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for live mode.

2010-05-02perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi1-1/+18
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

2010-05-01perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headersFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+7
commit e9e94e3bd862d31777335722e747e97d9821bc1d "perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in /events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings about unexpected tokens read: Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4 This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page file whenever this field is present or not. The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description line: field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; signed:0; field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; signed:1; field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; signed:1; ^^^ Here What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the line. We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf. Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording to stay compatible with olders perf.data Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-04-14perf: Convert perf tracing data into a tracing_data eventTom Zanussi1-44/+45
Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe. The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after it's read, using the skip return value added to the event processing loop in a previous patch.

2009-10-07perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.dataFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+2
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the common perf.data file. This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file. A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous version because the size of the headers have increased. That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a -stable fix for that. But current previous versions handle the header size using its static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with trace records.
