2010-04-14perf: Convert perf header build_ids into build_id eventsTom Zanussi
Bypasses the build_id perf header code and replaces it with a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe.

2010-04-14perf: Convert perf tracing data into a tracing_data eventTom Zanussi
Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe. The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after it's read, using the skip return value added to the event processing loop in a previous patch.

2010-04-14perf: Convert perf header attrs into attr eventsTom Zanussi
Bypasses the attr perf header code and replaces it with a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe. Making the attrs into events allows them to be streamed over a pipe along with the rest of the header data (in later patches). It also paves the way to allowing events to be added and removed from perf sessions dynamically.

2010-04-14perf trace: Introduce special handling for pipe inputTom Zanussi
Adds special treatment for stdin - if the user specifies '-i -' to perf trace, the intent is that the event stream be read from stdin rather than from a disk file. The actual handling of the '-' filename is done by the session; this just adds a signal handler to stop reporting, and turns off interference by the pager.

Adds special treatment for stdout - if the user specifies '-o -' to perf record, the intent is that the event stream be written to stdout rather than to a disk file. Also, redirect stdout of forked child to stderr - in pipe mode, stdout of the forked child interferes with the stdout perf stream, so redirect it to stderr where it can still be seen but won't be mixed in with the perf output.

2010-04-14perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing codeTom Zanussi
This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream to be sent and received over a pipe: - adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code - adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code - adds a range of event types to be used for header or other pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel - checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually reading them into event objects. - unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its users. Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data file format or processing - this code only comes into play if perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

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.

2010-04-02perf/scripts: Tuple was set from long in both branches in python_process_event()Tom Zanussi
This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin. Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type. If not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long, but an arbitrary-precision integer variable. The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I tested it on.

Then hist_entry__fprintf will just us the newly introduced hist_entry__snprintf, add the newline and fprintf it to the supplied FILE descriptor.

The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the equivalent. Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the hist_entry__snprintf routine to reduce the patch size.

For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the browser. Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms of multiple backends. Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually (I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for processing the events... That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating them in newt. But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-) Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2010-04-02perf symbols: map_groups__find_symbol must return the map tooArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Tools need to know from which map in the map_group a symbol was resolved to, so that, for isntance, we can annotate kernel modules symbols by getting its precise name, etc. Also add the _by_name variants for completeness.

2010-04-02perf probe: Correct error message for non-structure typeMasami Hiramatsu
perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it is called with non-existent field on a non-data structure local variable. <Before> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: Structure on a register is not supported yet. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: Semantic error: hoge must be referred by '.' This corrects the messsage. <After> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure.
