perf top: Register idle thread

2015-10-01T12:54:33+00:00

The perf top didn't add the idle/swapper thread to the machine's thread list and its comm was displayed as ':0'. Fix it.

perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index

2015-05-04T22:48:47+00:00

Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file. perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events altogether. AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND. By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual. The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file. A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder can queue all the AUX area data in advance using auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some custom manner.

perf session: Add instruction tracing options

2015-04-29T13:37:53+00:00

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for consumption by other tools. At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture instruction trace (aka processor trace) data. The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be added as needed.

perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data

2015-04-29T13:37:53+00:00

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize events transparently to the tools. The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding tool. This will work as follows: 1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come). 2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due to the auxtrace->process_event() hook. 3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event(). Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that were recorded.

perf ordered_samples: Remove references to perf_{evlist,tool} and machines

2015-03-31T20:52:32+00:00

As these can be obtained from the ordered_events pointer, via container_of, reducing the cross section of ordered_samples. These were added to ordered_samples in: commit b7b61cbebd789a3dbca522e3fdb727fe5c95593f Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue Mar 3 11:58:45 2015 -0300 perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events. But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then, as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in ordered_samples.

perf ordered_events: Allow tools to specify a deliver method

perf tools: Do not use __perf_session__process_events() directly

2015-01-29T19:36:32+00:00

It's only used for perf record to process build-id because its file size it's not fixed at this time due to remaining header features. However data offset and size is available so that we can use the perf_session__process_events() once we set the file size as the current offset like for now.
