tools lib traceevent: Factor out and export print_event_field[s]()

2016-01-06T23:11:11Z

The print_event_field() and print_event_fields() functions print basic information of a given field or event without the print format. They'll be used by dynamic sort keys later. Committer note: Rename it to pevent_print_field[s]() to get proper namespacing, as discussed with Steven Rostedt.

tools lib traceevent: Support function __get_dynamic_array_len

2015-09-02T19:30:46Z

Support helper function __get_dynamic_array_len() in libtraceevent, this function is used accompany with __print_array() or __print_hex(), but currently it is not an available function in the function list of process_function(). The total allocated length of the dynamic array is embedded in the top half of __data_loc_##item field. This patch adds new arg type PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY_LEN to return the length to eval_num_arg(), Signed-off-by: He Kuang Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Wang Nan Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1440822125-52691-32-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib traceevent: Allow setting an alternative symbol resolver

2015-07-24T01:01:26Z

The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one. To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr. This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve kernel symbols.

tools lib traceevent: Add alias field to struct format_field

2015-04-29T13:37:45Z

Introduce an 'alias' field to 'struct format_field' to be able to use alternative name for the field. It is initialized with same string pointer as 'name' field. The free logic checks the 'alias' pointer being reset by user and frees it. This will be handy when converting data into CTF, where each field within event needs to have a unique name (while this is not required for tracepoint). Converter can easily assign unique name into the format_field struct.

tools lib traceevent: Add support for __print_array()

2015-03-24T15:46:39Z

Since 6ea22486ba46 ("tracing: Add array printing helper") trace can generate traces with variable element size arrays. Add support to parse them.

tools lib traceevent: Make plugin options either string or boolean

2015-03-24T15:20:09Z

When a plugin option is defined, by default it is a boolean (true or false). If the option is something else, then it needs to set its "value" field to a default string other than NULL (can be just ""). If the value is not set then the option is considered boolean, and the updating of the option value will be handled accordingly.

tools lib traceevent: Add pevent_data_pid_from_comm()

2015-03-24T15:19:06Z

There is a pevent_data_comm_from_pid() that returns the cmdline stored for a given pid in order for users to map pids to comms, but there's no method to convert a comm back to a pid. This is useful for filters that specify a comm instead of a PID (it's faster than searching each individual event). Add a way to retrieve a comm from a pid. Since there can be more than one pid associated to a comm, it returns a data structure that lets the user iterate over all the saved comms for a given pid.

tools lib traceevent: Copy trace_clock and free it

2015-03-24T15:11:19Z

The pevent->trace_clock should not be a direct pointer to what was given. It should be copied and freed. Note, valgrind pointed this out when a caller passed in a pointer that needed to be freed and it never was. Ideally, pevent should copy it (which this change does), and free the copy. It's up to the caller to free the clock string passed in.
