2011-12-23perf script: Add generic perl handler to process eventsRobert Richter1-6/+67
The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than tracepoints too. This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding. The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can also be generated with perf script: # Packed byte string args of process_event(): # # $event: union perf_event util/event.h # $attr: struct perf_event_attr linux/perf_event.h # $sample: struct perf_sample util/event.h # $raw_data: perf_sample->raw_data util/event.h sub process_event { my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_; my @event = unpack("LSS", $event); my @attr = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr); my @sample = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample); my @raw_data = unpack("C*", $raw_data); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data; } Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
2011-11-28perf tools: Resolve machine earlier and pass it to perf_event_opsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+3
Reducing the exposure of perf_session further, so that we can use the classes in cases where no perf.data file is created.

2011-03-23perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+1
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).

2010-11-16perf: Rename 'perf trace' to 'perf script'Ingo Molnar1-3/+3
Free the perf trace name space and rename the trace to 'script' which is a better match for the scripting engine. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>
2010-05-10perf/trace/scripting: don't show script start/stop messages by defaultTom Zanussi1-3/+0
Only print the script start/stop messages in verbose mode - users normally don't care and it just clutters up the output.

2010-02-23perf/scripts: Move Perl scripting files to scripting-engines dirTom Zanussi1-0/+568
Create a scripting-engines directory to contain scripting engine implementation code, in anticipation of the addition of new scripting support. Also removes trace-event-perl.h.
