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: Use strerror_r instead of strerror

2014-08-15T13:54:29Z

Use strerror_r instead of strerror in error messages for thread-safety. This also introduce STRERR_BUFSIZE macro for the default size of message buffer for strerror_r.

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: 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 evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__open_strerror method

That consolidates the error messages in 'record', 'stat' and 'top', that now get a consistent set of messages and allow other tools to use the new method to report problems using whatever UI toolkit.
