perf python: Remove dependency on 'machine' methods

2015-07-29T13:51:44Z

The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities, but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method, that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code. The problem: [root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python 17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 6853 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! [root@zoo ~]# Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do not explicitely refer to an object file not included in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.

perf symbols: Provide libtraceevent callback to resolve kernel symbols

2015-07-24T01:01:37Z

That provides the function signature expected by libtraceevent's pevent_set_function_resolver().

tools lib traceevent: Make plugin unload function receive pevent

2014-01-15T18:10:40Z

The PEVENT_PLUGIN_UNLOADER function might need some cleanup using pevent like unregister some handlers. So pass pevent as argument.

perf tools: Add trace-event global object for tracepoint interface

2013-12-04T18:21:25Z

In order to get the proper plugins processing we need to use full trace-event interface when creating tracepoint events. So far we were using shortcut to get the parsed format. Moving current 'event_format__new' function into trace-event object as 'trace_event__tp_format'. This function uses properly initialized global trace-event object, ensuring proper plugins processing.

perf tools: Add trace-event object

2013-12-04T18:20:52Z

Add trace-event object to keep together 'struct pevent' object with its loaded plugins with following interface: int trace_event__init(struct trace_event *t); - Initalizes 'struct pevent' object and loads plugins for it void trace_event__cleanup(struct trace_event *t); - Cleanups both 'struct pevent' and plugins Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386076182-14484-10-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
