perf trace: Support 'strace' syscall event groups

2015-07-20T18:16:32+00:00

I.e.:

  $ cat ~/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file
  access
  chmod
  creat
  execve
  faccessat
  getcwd
  lstat
  mkdir
  open
  openat
  quotactl
  readlink
  rename
  rmdir
  stat
  statfs
  symlink
  unlink
  $

Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to
see the deluge of mouse related activity:

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
  #
  # trace --ev probe:vfs_getname --filter-pids 2232 -e file
   0.042 (0.042 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.042 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm")
   0.100 (0.100 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
   0.142 (0.018 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14c3c10, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.142 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/index.theme")
   0.192 (0.069 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
   0.230 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14c3c10, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.230 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm")
   0.253 (0.041 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = 14
   0.459 (0.008 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.459 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_side")
   0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

perf tools: Add new 'perf data' command

2015-02-25T15:42:25+00:00

Adding new 'perf data' command to provide operations over data files.

The 'perf data convert' sub command is coming in following patch, but
there's possibility for other useful commands like 'perf data ls' (to
display perf data file in directory in ls style).

Move the gtk objects building under build framework.

Add new gtk build object so it's separated from the rest of the code and
could be librarized.
