2011-03-04	perf: Fix undefined PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT in python 2.5	Frederic Weisbecker
	PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT is undefined in python 2.5, resulting in a build crash: util/python.c:81: attention : déclaration implicite de la fonction « «PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT» » util/python.c:82: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:117: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:146: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:177: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:290: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:359: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:532: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union util/python.c:761: erreur: request for member «tp_name» in something not a structure or union error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 make: *** [python/perf.so] Erreur 1 We can fix that by defining PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT as a wrapper on PyObject_HEAD_INIT, thanks to a trick found on biopython: https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/d4eaf57946c7b4c32eca8d18821edf32f83e300d Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2011-01-31	perf python: Fix build on 32-bit	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	Where there are lots of errors related to python methods receiving 'char *' for things like file open mode, which break the build, also disable strict aliasing and fixup some other warnings. Now builds on both 32-bit and 64-bit fedora systems.

2011-01-31	perf evlist: Store pointer to the cpu and thread maps	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that needs it, simplifying usage. There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance, which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was passed to then create those maps. For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance, get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.

2011-01-30	perf tools: Initial python binding	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf. The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for processing. This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import". perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific variables as event variables accessible via this binding. There is one example of such usage model, in tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events. For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just builds it, I'm using it as: [root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/ [root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py cpu: 4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 6, pid: 47, tid: 47 { type: mmap, pid: 47, tid: 47, start: 0x6, length: 0xbef87c36, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x1, length: 0x775d1904, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 7, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x7, length: 0xc750aeb6, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 5, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x5, length: 0x76669635, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 0, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0, length: 0x6422ef6b, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 2, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x2, length: 0xe078757a, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 5769, tid: 5769 { type: fork, pid: 30127, ppid: 5769, tid: 30127, ptid: 5769, time: 103893991270534} cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: comm, pid: 30127, tid: 30127, comm: ls } cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: exit, pid: 30127, ppid: 30127, tid: 30127, ptid: 30127, time: 103893993273024} The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being investigated. More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them, symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close second step.
