perf evsel: Adopt parse_sample method from perf_event

2012-08-02T15:23:46Z

Since we need evsel->{attr.{sample_{id_all,type}},sample_size}, reducing the number of parameters tools have to pass.

perf tools: Add code to support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK

2012-03-09T07:26:04Z

This patch adds: - ability to parse samples with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - sort on branches (dso_from, symbol_from, dso_to, symbol_to, mispredict) - build histograms on branches Signed-off-by: Roberto Agostino Vitillo Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-12-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf tools: Add ability to synthesize event according to a sample

2011-12-12T10:44:00Z

It's the counterpart of perf_session__parse_sample. v2: fixed mistakes found by David Ahern. v3: s/data/sample/ s/perf_event__change_sample/perf_event__synthesize_sample Reviewed-by: David Ahern Cc: Arun Sharma Cc: David Ahern Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: devel@openvz.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323266161-394927-3-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf event: Introduce perf_event__fprintf

2011-12-02T13:06:37Z

So that tools like 'perf test' can print the events when in verbose mode, for instance.

perf tools: Rename perf_event_ops to perf_tool

2011-11-28T12:39:28Z

To better reflect that it became the base class for all tools, that must be in each tool struct and where common stuff will be put.

perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_ops

2011-11-28T12:39:12Z

Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

perf tools: Pass tool context in the the perf_event_ops functions

2011-11-28T12:38:56Z

So that we don't need to have that many globals. Next steps will remove the 'session' pointer, that in most cases is not needed. Then we can rename perf_event_ops to 'perf_tool' that better describes this class hierarchy.

perf tool: Fix endianness handling of u32 data in samples

2011-09-23T17:37:27Z

Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC the pid/tid fields show: rsyslogd 1210/1212 and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows: rsyslogd 1212/1210 The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed, the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when the sample is parsed and do the proper swap. The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields. v3 -> v4: - fixed use of WARN_ONCE v2 -> v3: - used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data - removed struct wrapper around union - fixed whitespace issues v1 -> v2: - added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3) Cc: Anton Blanchard Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1315321946-16993-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid

2011-06-03T13:07:52Z

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Pre-check sample size before parsing

2011-05-22T01:38:36Z

Check that the total size of the sample fields having a fixed size do not exceed the one of the whole event. This robustifies the sample parsing. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Stephane Eranian
