      perf symbols: Add 'machine' member to struct addr_location · cc22e575
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      The addr_location struct should fully qualify an address, and to do that
it should have in it the machine where the thread was found.

Thus all functions that receive an addr_location now don't need to also
receive a 'machine', those functions just need to access al->machine
instead, just like it does with the other parts of an address location:
al->thread, al->map, etc.

      perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing · 71ad0f5e
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.

Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.

The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.

The unwind interface provides following function:
	unwind__get_entries

And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
	typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
					 void *arg);

      perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list · da378962
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      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: Have perf use the new libtraceevent.a library · aaf045f7
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      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.

      Move the trace-event-parse.c code that originally came from trace-cmd into

the name of trace-cmd's file was parse-events.c too, but it conflicted
with the parse-events.c file in perf that parses the command line.

This tries to update the code with mimimal changes.

Perf specific code stays in the trace-event-parse.[ch] files and
the common parsing code is now in trace-parse-events.c and
trace-parse-events.h.

      perf tools: Fix tracing info recording · 29208e57
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      Fixing the way the tracing information is stored within record command.
The current implementation is causing issues for pipe output.

Following commands fail currently:
	perf script syscall-counts ls
	perf record -e syscalls:sys_exit_read ls | ./perf report -i -

The tracing information is part of the perf data file. It contains
several files from within the tracing debugfs and procs directories.

Beside some static header files, for each tracing event the format
file is added. The /proc/kallsyms file is also added.

The tracing data are stored with preceeding size. This is causing some
dificulties for pipe output, since there's no way to tell debugfs/proc
file size before reading it. So, for pipe output, all the debugfs files
were read twice. Once to get the overall size and once to store the
content itself. This can cause problem in case any of these file
changed, within the storage time.

To fix this behaviour and ensure the integrity of the tracing data, we:
    - read debugfs/proc file into the temp file
    - get temp file size and dump it to the pipe
    - dump the temp file contents to the pipe

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

      perf: add perf-inject builtin · 454c407e
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      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.

      perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers · d00a47cc
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      commit e9e94e3b
"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

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.

      perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR() · c0555642
      由 Ian Munsie 提交于 
      Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

      perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlers · d1b93772
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace
event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but
not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in.  To
give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or
metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way
to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch
uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event
fields not passed to handler functions.

Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access
fields for the current event by calling back into perf:
common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth().  Support
for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a
script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting
features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.

Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access

Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script()

script based on existing trace data.  Scripts generated by this
implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned
in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting
code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally
generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled',
'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers.  Script authors can
simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom
event handling.

      It's useful to know whether a field is a flag or symbolic field
for e.g. when generating scripts - it allows us to translate
those fields specially rather than literally as plain numeric
values.

      perf trace: Add scripting ops · 956ffd02
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a
particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace
stream processing using that language.

The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language
interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and
thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages
available for trace processing.

See below for details on the interface.

This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf
trace':

The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run.
Script names that can be used with -s take the form:

[language spec:]scriptname[.ext]

Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can
be used to specify scripts for the registered languages.  The
specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions.

If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of
the matching language regardless of any extension it might have.
 If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the
language it corresponds to.  Language specs are case
insensitive.

e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways:

Perl:scriptname
pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored
PL:scriptname
scriptname.pl
scriptname.perl

The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point
for writing scripts in the specified language.  Scripting
support for a particular language can implement a
generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or
near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a
given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct
way to access that.

Adding support for a scripting language
---------------------------------------

The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new
language is to implement the scripting_ops interface:

It consists of the following four functions:

    start_script()
    stop_script()
    process_event()
    generate_script()

start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is
meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an
instance of a language interpreter.

stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is
meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc.

process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its
main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be
processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the
binary fields from the event record and sending them to the
script handler function associated with that event e.g. a
function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g.
'sched::sched_switch()'.  The 'format' information for trace
events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a
form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl
implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to
leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map
that info into specific scripting language types.

generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the
current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that
print out every field for each event.  Again, look at the Perl
implementation for clues as to how that can be done.  This is an
optional, but very useful op.

Support for a given language should also add a language-specific
setup function and call it from setup_scripting().  The
language-specific setup function associates the the scripting
ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers'
(see below) using script_spec_register().  When a script name is
specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with
the specified language are used to instantiate and use the
appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream.

In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a
new language, especially if the language implementation supports
an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside
another program (in this case the containing program will be
'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to
translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script
functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event
type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields.
 The event and field type information exported by the event
tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be
enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user
script.  The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to
look at the Perl implementation contained in
perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h.

There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the
scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional,
but should be implemented if possible.  One of these is support
for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more
human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or
HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values.  See the
Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing
is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access
e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler
functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make
available to users via the language interface.  Again, see the
Perl implementation for examples.

      It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ;
perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ]
Fatal: not an trace data file
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any
tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not
SEGFAULT.
