2010-04-14perf trace/scripting: Add rwtop and sctop scriptsTom Zanussi1-0/+6
A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that demonstrate 'live mode' tracing. For each, the output of the perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval. After the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared and the cycle begins anew. To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report' step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i: $ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i - Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the screen.

2010-02-23perf/scripts: Move common code out of Perl-specific filesTom Zanussi2-3/+5
This stuff is needed by all scripting engines; move it from the Perl engine source to a more common place.

2009-11-30perf trace/scripting: Add Fedora libperl install note to docTom Zanussi1-2/+2
Fedora needs perl-ExtUtils-Embed for Perl scripting, which also brings along libperl-devel; note this info for the convenience of Fedora users.

2009-11-30perf trace/scripting: Fix Perl common_* access functionsTom Zanussi2-18/+18
The common_* functions (e.g. common_pc(), etc) are exported as common_* but named get_common_*, resulting in unresolved subroutine errors when executing scripts. Make the internal and external names match.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlersTom Zanussi7-8/+303
The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. To give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event fields not passed to handler functions. Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access fields for the current event by calling back into perf: common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Support for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add perf trace scripting support modules for PerlTom Zanussi4-0/+292
Add Perf-Trace-Util Perl module and some scripts that use it. Core.pm contains Perl code to define and access flag and symbolic fields. Util.pm contains general-purpose utility functions. Also adds some makefile bits to install them in libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl (or wherever perfexec_instdir points).
