    perf data: Add perf data to CTF conversion support · edbe9817
    Jiri Olsa 提交于
    Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different
    format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion.
    
    To convert perf.data into CTF run:
      $ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
      [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ]
      [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ]
    
    The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
    specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
    CTF stream.
    
    Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
    from following exceptions:
    
      PERF_SAMPLE_RAW          - added in next patch
      PERF_SAMPLE_READ         - TODO
      PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN    - TODO
      PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
      PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER    - TODO
      PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER   - TODO
    
      $ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ...
    
    The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace
    or tracecompass [1].

    The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
    distinguish and specify perf CTF data:
    
      - domain
    
        It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
        confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)
    
      - tracer_name
    
        It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
        CTF based trace.
    
      - version
    
        The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
        it looks like on a Debian kernel:
    
          release = "3.14-1-amd64";
          version = "3.14.0";
