perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

2015-08-21T14:34:10Z

Intel BTS support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording is supporting by identifying the Intel BTS PMU, parsing options and setting up events. Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by thread and then decoding synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the session processing for tools to consume.

perf tools: Allow auxtrace data alignment

2015-06-23T21:28:37Z

Allow auxtrace data to be a multiple of something other than page size. That is needed for BTS where the buffer contains 24-byte records.

perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize events for transactions

2015-05-05T21:12:55Z

Add AUX area tracing option 'x' to synthesize events for transactions. This will be used by Intel PT to synthesize an event record for each TSX start, commit or abort.

perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracing

2015-05-05T21:12:53Z

Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude compiling support for AUX area tracing. Support for both recording and processing is excluded and by implication any future additions such as Intel PT and Intel BTS will also not be compiled in with this option.

perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index

2015-05-04T22:48:47Z

Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file. perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events altogether. AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND. By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual. The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file. A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder can queue all the AUX area data in advance using auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some custom manner.

perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for caching

2015-04-29T13:37:55Z

Decoding AUX area data may involve walking object code. Rather than repetitively decoding the same instructions, a cache can be used to cache the results. This patch implements a fairly generic hashtable with a 32-bit key that could be used for other purposes as well.
