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.

perf: Have perf use the new libtraceevent.a library

2012-04-25T11:28:48Z

The event parsing code in perf was originally copied from trace-cmd but never was kept up-to-date with the changes that was done there. The trace-cmd libtraceevent.a code is much more mature than what is currently in perf. This updates the code to use wrappers to handle the calls to the new event parsing code. The new code requires a handle to be pass around, which removes the global event variables and allows more than one event structure to be read from different files (and different machines). But perf still has the old global events and the code throughout perf does not yet have a nice way to pass around a handle. A global 'pevent' has been made for perf and the old calls have been created as wrappers to the new event parsing code that uses the global pevent. With this change, perf can later incorporate the pevent handle into the perf structures and allow more than one file to be read and compared, that contains different events.

perf script: Add the offset field specifier

2012-01-30T20:09:21Z

Add the offset field specifier 'symoff' to show the offset from the symbols in the output of perf-script. We can get the more detailed address information. Output sample: ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec016b0 _start+0x0 ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec016b0 _start+0x0 301ec016b3 _start+0x3 => 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0 ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0 ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b96 _dl_start+0x26 ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 => 301ec04b9d _dl_start+0x2d 301ec04beb _dl_start+0x7b => 301ec04c0d _dl_start+0x9d 301ec04c11 _dl_start+0xa1 => 301ec04bf0 _dl_start+0x80 [snip] Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120130044314.2384.67094.stgit@linux3 Signed-off-by: Akihiro Nagai Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"

perf script: Kill script_spec__delete

2012-01-03T17:06:34Z

As script_spec__delete() frees given struct script_spec it should not be called if we failed to allocate the struct. Also it's the only caller of the function, we can get rid of the function itself.
