perf script: Add option resolving vmlinux path

2012-01-30T20:13:07Z

Add the option get the path of [kernel.kallsyms]. Specify '--show-kernel-path' option to use this function. This patch enables other applications to use this output easily.

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: Print branch_from and branch_to of BTS events

2012-01-30T20:08:43Z

BTS records branch_from_addr and branch_to_addr in IP and ADDR field in perf_sample. This patch enables to print them in following format, () => () Sample: ffffffff814675d2 irq_return ([kernel.kallsyms]) => 3f03e016b0 _start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff814675d2 irq_return ([kernel.kallsyms]) => 3f03e016b0 _start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 3f03e016b3 _start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) => 3f03e04b80 _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff814675d2 irq_return ([kernel.kallsyms]) => 3f03e04b80 _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff814675d2 irq_return ([kernel.kallsyms]) => 3f03e04ba6 _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff814675d2 irq_return ([kernel.kallsyms]) => 3f03e04bad _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 3f03e04bfb _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) => 3f03e04c1d _dl_start (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) [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/20120130044309.2384.44252.stgit@linux3 Signed-off-by: Akihiro Nagai Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"

2012-01-30T19:57:57Z

The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown". It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies the expressions to "[unknown]".

perf script: Add missing closedir() calls

2012-01-08T14:35:41Z

The get_script_path() calls opendir() but misses corresponding closedir()'s. Add them. Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1325957132-10600-1-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

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.

perf report: Accept fifos as input file

2011-12-23T19:01:03Z

The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.

perf script: look up thread using tid instead of pid

2011-12-23T18:35:00Z

This allows the thread name to be dispalyed when dumping events: myapp 25118 [000] 450385.538815: context-switches ... myapp:worker 25119 [000] 450385.538894: context-switches ...

perf script: Implement option for system-wide profiling

2011-12-12T10:44:00Z

The option is documented in man perf-script but was not yet implemented: -a Force system-wide collection. Scripts run without a normally use -a by default, while scripts run with a normally don't - this option allows the latter to be run in system-wide mode. As with perf record you now can profile in system-wide mode for the runtime of a given command, e.g.: # perf script -a syscall-counts sleep 2 Cc: Ingo Molnar Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1322229925-10075-1-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf script: Fix mem leaks and NULL pointer checks around strdup()s

2011-12-12T10:44:00Z

Fix mem leaks and missing NULL pointer checks after strdup(). And get_script_path() did not free __script_root in case of continue. Introduce a helper function get_script_root().
