perf script: Fix display of IP address for non-callchain path

2011-07-21T08:09:28+00:00

Non-callchain path is using al.addr which prints as:
  openssl 14564 17672.003587:       7862d _x86_64_AES_encrypt_compact

This should be sample->ip to print as:
  openssl 14564 17672.003587:  3f7867862d _x86_64_AES_encrypt_compact

perf tools: Fix endian conversion reading event attr from file header

2011-07-21T07:57:36+00:00

The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and
they need to be swapped individually.

With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a
32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit
binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data
file correctly.

-v2:
 - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements
   of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the
   attributes in the file header
 - updated swap_ops used for processing events

perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range

2011-07-05T08:44:44+00:00

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C .

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

perf tools: Add inverted call graph report support.

2011-06-29T22:24:30+00:00

Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.

Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

perf script: Make printing of dso a separate field option

2011-06-02T16:29:14+00:00

The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes
from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option.  This allows
display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening
line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

perf script: "sym" field really means show IP data

2011-06-02T16:28:34+00:00

Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers
and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols,
so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip"
option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for
them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is
shown.

perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid

2011-06-02T14:04:54+00:00

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size
>>>

perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap

2011-05-23T11:22:57+00:00

Commit eac9eacee16 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.

However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...

To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

perf tools: Propagate event parse error handling

2011-05-22T01:38:49+00:00

Better handle event parsing error by propagating the details
in upper layers or by dumping some failure message. So that
the user knows he has some crazy events in the batch.
