2009-12-06perf: Make common SAMPLE_EVENT parserOGAWA Hirofumi1-0/+67
Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g. timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN) So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at a time, commands can't parse. etc. To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported for now though, it seems to be not using.)

2009-12-01perf annotate: Fix perf data parsingLi Zefan1-2/+1
perf-annotate doesn't parse perf.data correctly in that it doesn't read perf header. Fix this by using mmap_dispatch_perf_file(). Before: TOTAL events: 17565 MMAP events: 3221 LOST events: 10 COMM events: 235 EXIT events: 2 THROTTLE events: 1 UNTHROTTLE events: 2 FORK events: 10 READ events: 1 SAMPLE events: 14083 After: TOTAL events: 17290 MMAP events: 3203 LOST events: 0 COMM events: 234 EXIT events: 1 THROTTLE events: 0 UNTHROTTLE events: 0 FORK events: 0 READ events: 0 SAMPLE events: 13852 Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <4B14B201.9030708@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-11-27perf tools: Consolidate symbol resolving across all toolsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+62
Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to process IP sample events: int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like annotate and report can further process the event by creating hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs, etc). It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms. With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is always good, huh? :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1259346563-12568-12-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-11-27perf tools: Reorganize event processing routines, lotsa dups killedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+74
While implementing event__preprocess_sample, that will do all of the symbol lookup in one convenient function, I noticed that util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started looking if there were other functions that could be shared and... All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head, the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at one place instead. Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done in a central place.

2009-10-27perf tools: Generalize event synthesizing routinesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+177
Because we will need it in 'perf top' to support userspace symbols for existing threads. Now we pass a callback that will receive the synthesized event and then write it to the output file in 'perf record' and in the upcoming patch for 'perf top' we will just immediatelly create the in memory representation of threads and maps.
