2010-06-24perf: Don't print traces when debugging orderingFrederic Weisbecker
Errors due to ordering bugs are easily lost in the middle of traces. When we are in this mode, don't print the traces so that we don't miss the debugging messages.

2010-05-14perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usageArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period, and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid sampling artifacts. Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped. Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and stop doing it again.

2010-05-10perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session. While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"), renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members. Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them, avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information. The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

2010-05-02perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

2010-04-14perf trace: Invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specifiedTom Zanussi
Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g. $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i - In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require the user to type and remember more than necessary. This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the same command as above can be accomplished more simply as: $ perf trace rwtop 5 Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case - they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are passed along to the report script (but not to the record script). The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to 'perf trace'.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt to break it down into component events.

2010-04-14perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce ↵Ian Munsie
OPT_INCR() Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

2009-12-15perf trace/scripting: Add support for script argsTom Zanussi
One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf' value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do some related minor cleanup.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem here. Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

2009-12-06perf: Make common SAMPLE_EVENT parserOGAWA Hirofumi
Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g. timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN) So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at a time, commands can't parse. etc. To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported for now though, it seems to be not using.)

2009-11-28perf trace: Add Perl scripting supportTom Zanussi
Implement trace_scripting_ops to make Perl a supported perf trace scripting language. Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access the 'flag' and 'symbolic' (__print_flags(), __print_symbolic()) field information parsed from the trace format files. Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script() trace_scripting_op, which creates a ready-to-run perf trace Perl script based on existing trace data. Scripts generated by this implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled', 'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers. Script authors can simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom event handling.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add scripting opsTom Zanussi
Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace stream processing using that language. The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages available for trace processing. See below for details on the interface. This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf trace': The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run. Script names that can be used with -s take the form: [language spec:]scriptname[.ext] Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can be used to specify scripts for the registered languages. The specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions. If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of the matching language regardless of any extension it might have. If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the language it corresponds to. Language specs are case insensitive. e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways: Perl:scriptname pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored PL:scriptname scriptname.pl scriptname.perl The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point for writing scripts in the specified language. Scripting support for a particular language can implement a generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct way to access that. Adding support for a scripting language --------------------------------------- The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new language is to implement the scripting_ops interface: It consists of the following four functions: start_script() stop_script() process_event() generate_script() start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an instance of a language interpreter. stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc. process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the binary fields from the event record and sending them to the script handler function associated with that event e.g. a function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g. 'sched::sched_switch()'. The 'format' information for trace events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map that info into specific scripting language types. generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that print out every field for each event. Again, look at the Perl implementation for clues as to how that can be done. This is an optional, but very useful op. Support for a given language should also add a language-specific setup function and call it from setup_scripting(). The language-specific setup function associates the the scripting ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers' (see below) using script_spec_register(). When a script name is specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with the specified language are used to instantiate and use the appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream. In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a new language, especially if the language implementation supports an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside another program (in this case the containing program will be 'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields. The event and field type information exported by the event tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user script. The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to look at the Perl implementation contained in perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h. There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional, but should be implemented if possible. One of these is support for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values. See the Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make available to users via the language interface. Again, see the Perl implementation for examples.
