perf script: Don't use globals where not needed to

2012-10-02T21:36:30+00:00

Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to
where it belongs.

perf scripts: Export a find_scripts() function

2012-09-17T16:11:26+00:00

So that other perf commands/browser has a way to dig out the available
scripts info in system, this is a preparation for the script browser.

perf scripts: Add --symbols option to handle specific symbols

2012-09-17T16:11:06+00:00

Since perf script no longer only handle the trace points, we can add the
symbol filter option so that scripts can handle specified samples.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15+00:00

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf script: Remove use of die/exit

2012-09-05T20:21:39+00:00

Allows perf to clean up properly on exit. Only exits left are exec
failures which are appropriate and usage callbacks that list available
options.

perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing

2012-08-11T18:06:56+00:00

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 script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()"

2012-08-08T15:46:40+00:00

Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace
points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to
the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics.

Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using
addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional
symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to
bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

perf script: Stop using pevent directly

2012-08-08T02:50:21+00:00

We can get all that is needed using just event_format, that is available
via evsel->tp_format now.

perf evsel: Cache associated event_format

2012-08-08T02:43:37+00:00

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.

Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).

This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list

2012-06-27T16:08:42+00:00

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.
