perf script: hook up perf_scripting_context->pevent

2013-01-24T19:40:52Z

Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl and Python cases: # perf script record check-perf-trace # perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py trace_begin Segmentation fault (core dumped) The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to dereference a NULL pointer. This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.

perf tools: Fix a compiling error in trace-event-perl.c for 32 bits machine

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

perf tools: remove unneeded include of network header files

2012-09-05T20:45:12Z

perf does not have networking related functionality, and the inclusion of these headers is one of the causes of compile failures for Android: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/293 So, remove them.

perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()"

2012-08-08T15:46:40Z

Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics. Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

perf script: Stop using pevent directly

2012-08-08T02:50:21Z

We can get all that is needed using just event_format, that is available via evsel->tp_format now.

perf evsel: Cache associated event_format

2012-08-08T02:43:37Z

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().

perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list

2012-06-27T16:08:42Z

The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single global pevent variable and use the per session one. Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not interested at all in what is present in the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis, just in what is in the perf.data file. This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.
