tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47+00:00

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf data: Add perf data to CTF conversion support

2015-02-25T19:13:12+00:00

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";

perf: Use strerror_r instead of strerror

2014-08-15T13:54:29+00:00

This also introduce STRERR_BUFSIZE macro for the default size of message

perf tools: Add debug prints for ordered events queue

2014-08-12T15:03:01+00:00

Adding some prints for ordered events queue, to help debug issues.

Adding debug_ordered_events debug variable to be able to enable ordered
events debug messages using:

  $ perf --debug ordered-events=2 report ...

Also using oe pointer in perf_session__queue_event instead of chained
session variable dereferencing.

perf tools: Add --debug optionto set debug variable

2014-07-17T15:58:59+00:00

Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables.  Starting with
support for verbose, more will come.

It's possible to use it now with report command:
  $ perf --debug verbose   ...
  $ perf --debug verbose=2 ...

I'll need this support to add separated debug variable for ordered
events change in order to separate debug output out of standard verbose
stream.

The traceevent lib uses pr_stat to display all standard info. It's

output system logic.

Displaying the pr_stat stuff under '-v' option.
