perf ordered_samples: Remove references to perf_{evlist,tool} and machines

2015-03-31T20:52:32Z

As these can be obtained from the ordered_events pointer, via container_of, reducing the cross section of ordered_samples. These were added to ordered_samples in: commit b7b61cbebd789a3dbca522e3fdb727fe5c95593f Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue Mar 3 11:58:45 2015 -0300 perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events. But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then, as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in ordered_samples.

perf ordered_events: Allow tools to specify a deliver method

2015-03-12T15:39:46Z

So that we can simplify the deliver method to pass just: (ordered_events, ordered_event, sample); Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: David Ahern Cc: Don Zickus Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-j0s4bpxs5qza5tnkvjwom9rw@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf ordered_events: Untangle from perf_session

2015-03-11T13:16:50Z

For use by tools that are not perf.data based, as maybe 'perf trace' in live mode.

perf evlist: Adopt events_stats from perf_session

2015-02-23T01:22:57Z

For tools that don't deal with perf.data files, thus do not need to use perf_session.

perf tools: Do not use __perf_session__process_events() directly

2015-01-29T19:36:32Z

It's only used for perf record to process build-id because its file size it's not fixed at this time due to remaining header features. However data offset and size is available so that we can use the perf_session__process_events() once we set the file size as the current offset like for now.

perf session: Add perf_session__deliver_synth_event()

2014-10-29T13:36:15Z

Add a function to deliver synthesized events from within a session. Intel PT decoding works by synthesizing events (primarily branch events) that can then be consumed by existing tools. This function will be used to deliver those events.

perf tools: Add id index

2014-10-29T13:24:47Z

Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT. The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open(). Events can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel() The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to the mmap from which it was read. The reason that is useful is because the mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread). Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis. In full-trace mode, that information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in that case that the "id index" is needed. So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(). That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index". idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels). The information can be retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid(). Note however this all depends on having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, otherwise ids are not recorded. The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index().

perf session: Remove last reference to hists struct

2014-10-14T14:41:25Z

Now perf_session doesn't require that the evsels in its evlist are hists containing ones. Tools that are hists based and want to do per evsel events_stats updates, if at some point this turns into a necessity, should do it in the tool specific code, keeping the session class hists agnostic.

perf tools: Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of volatile cast

2014-09-26T15:36:03Z

Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of the cast to volatile and read. This is just a style change which is reader friendly.
