2011-11-28perf tools: Rename perf_event_ops to perf_toolArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2011-11-28perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_opsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

2011-11-28perf tools: Pass tool context in the the perf_event_ops functionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2011-03-23perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools, report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to properly support multi-event perf.data files. Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

2010-12-21perf session: Fallback to unordered processing if no sample_id_allIan Munsie
If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed. While processing all events without timestamps before events with timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples. Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would not be attributed correctly. This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print out a warning if report -D was invoked. This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

2010-12-04perf session: Parse sample earlierArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already parsed. This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

2010-05-04perf inject: Add missing bitsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS] The most commonly used perf commands are: annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file bench General framework for benchmark suites buildid-cache Manage build-id cache. buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file diff Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile inject Filter to augment the events stream with additional information kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os list List all symbolic event types lock Analyze lock events probe Define new dynamic tracepoints record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile sched Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies) stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics test Runs sanity tests. timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload top System profiling tool. trace Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command. [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list. Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

2010-05-02perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events. What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.
