perf data: Add perf data to CTF conversion support

2015-02-25T19:13:12Z

Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion. To convert perf.data into CTF run: $ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/ [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ] [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ] The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single CTF stream. Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart from following exceptions: PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - added in next patch PERF_SAMPLE_READ - TODO PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN - TODO PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER - TODO PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER - TODO $ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ... The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace or tracecompass [1]. $ babeltrace ./ctf-data/ [03:19:13.962125533] (+?.?????????) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 } [03:19:13.962130001] (+0.000004468) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 } [03:19:13.962131936] (+0.000001935) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 8 } [03:19:13.962133732] (+0.000001796) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 114 } [03:19:13.962135557] (+0.000001825) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 2087 } [03:19:13.962137627] (+0.000002070) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81361938, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 37582 } [03:19:13.962161091] (+0.000023464) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8124218F, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 600246 } [03:19:13.962517569] (+0.000356478) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF811A75DB, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1325731 } [03:19:13.969518008] (+0.007000439) cycles: { }, { ip = 0x34080917B2, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1144298 } The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to distinguish and specify perf CTF data: - domain It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be confused with a user space like lttng-ust does) - tracer_name It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf CTF based trace. - version The kernel version from stream.

perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

2014-11-24T21:03:48Z

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the debug log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message line. Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily redirected. Example: [root@zoo ~]# perf --debug stderr report -vv 2> /tmp/debug [root@zoo ~]# tail /tmp/debug dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory Using /root/.debug/.build-id/4e/841948927029fb650132253642d5dbb2c1fb93 for symbols Failed to open /tmp/perf-8831.map, continuing without symbols Failed to open /tmp/perf-12721.map, continuing without symbols Failed to open /tmp/perf-6966.map, continuing without symbols Failed to open /tmp/perf-8802.map, continuing without symbols [root@zoo ~]# Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1416605880-25055-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add debug prints for ordered events queue

2014-08-12T15:03:01Z

Adding some prints for ordered events queue, to help debug issues. Adding debug_ordered_events debug variable to be able to enable ordered events debug messages using: $ perf --debug ordered-events=2 report ... Also using oe pointer in perf_session__queue_event instead of chained session variable dereferencing.

perf tools: Add --debug optionto set debug variable

2014-07-17T15:58:59Z

Adding --debug option as a way to setup debug variables. Starting with support for verbose, more will come. It's possible to use it now with report command: $ perf --debug verbose ... $ perf --debug verbose=2 ... I'll need this support to add separated debug variable for ordered events change in order to separate debug output out of standard verbose stream.

perf tools: Get rid of a duplicate va_end() in error reporting routine

The va_end() in _eprintf() should be removed since the caller also invokes va_end().

perf tools: Overload pr_stat traceevent print function

2013-12-04T18:23:55Z

The traceevent lib uses pr_stat to display all standard info. It's defined as __weak. Overloading it with perf version plugged into perf output system logic. Displaying the pr_stat stuff under '-v' option.

perf tools: Fix TUI helpline output

2012-12-09T11:46:07Z

In commit e2f4351 "perf ui/helpline: Introduce ui_helpline__vshow()" the test for the browser used made ui_helpline__vshow() to be called only for the GTK browser. The TUI one then was not used and vfprintf(stderr, ...) was used instead, making the TUI scroll the screen instead of just printing on the last line. Fix it by doing the proper check, that is to call ui_helpline__vshow to be called for both the TUI and GTK browsers.
