2014-10-29perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly wayAdrian Hunter1-0/+4
This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a database-friendly way. The abstraction does not implement the actual output. A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending the script interface. The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms etc need to be exported only once. That means allocating them a unique identifier and recording it on each structure. The member 'db_id' is used for that. 'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number. Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a db_id.

2014-08-13perf tools: Identify which comms are from execAdrian Hunter1-2/+4
For grouping together all the data from a single execution, which is needed for pairing calls and returns e.g. any outstanding calls when a process exec's will never return.

2014-01-16perf tools: Do proper comm override error handlingFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The comm overriding API ignores memory allocation failures by silently keeping the previous and out of date comm. As a result, the user may get buggy events without ever being notified about the problem and its source. Lets start to fix this by propagating the error from the API. Not all callers may be doing proper error handling on comm set yet but this is the first step toward it.

2013-11-04perf tools: Get current comm instead of last oneNamhyung Kim1-0/+1
At insert time, a hist entry should reference comm at the time otherwise it'll get the last comm anyway.

2013-11-04perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructureFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+20
This new COMM infrastructure provides two features: 1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events. As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork. 2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort infrastructure.
