This brings a new API to help the selective dump of registers on event sampling, and its implementation for x86 arch. Added HAVE_PERF_REGS config option to determine if the architecture provides perf registers ABI. The information about desired registers will be passed in u64 mask. It's up to the architecture to map the registers into the mask bits. For the x86 arch implementation, both 32 and 64 bit registers bits are defined within single enum to ensure 64 bit system can provide register dump for compat task if needed in the future.

Implement a minimal elf parser for getting build-id. It assumes that required elf.h header is provided by libc header on the system and the parser only looks for PT_NOTE program header to check build-id. Signed-off-by:

Now we have isolated all ELF-specific stuff, it's possible to build without libelf. The output binary can do most of jobs but lacks (user level) symbol information - kernel symbols are still accessable thanks to the kallsyms. To build perf without libelf (elfutils), give NO_LIBELF=1 to make. For now, only 'perf probe' command is removed since it depends on libelf/libdw heavily. Signed-off-by:

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script, the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the basic information of the events and analyze them. This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions according to their specific requirment. Here is the sample of how to use the script: $ perf record -a tree $ perf script -s process_event.py There is 100 records in gen_events table Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso: comm number histgram ========================================== swapper 56 ###### tree 20 ##### perf 10 #### sshd 8 #### kworker/7:2 4 ### ksoftirqd/7 1 # plugin-containe 1 # symbol number histgram ========================================================== native_write_msr_safe 40 ###### __lock_acquire 8 #### ftrace_graph_caller 4 ### prepare_ftrace_return 4 ### intel_idle 3 ## native_sched_clock 3 ## Unknown_symbol 2 ## do_softirq 2 ## lock_release 2 ## lock_release_holdtime 2 ## trace_graph_entry 2 ## _IO_putc 1 # __d_lookup_rcu 1 # __do_fault 1 # __schedule 1 # _raw_spin_lock 1 # delay_tsc 1 # generic_exec_single 1 # generic_fillattr 1 # dso number histgram ================================================================== [kernel.kallsyms] 95 ####### /lib/libc-2.12.1.so 5 ### Signed-off-by: -

This library defines several class types for perf events which could help to better analyze the event samples. Currently there are just a few classes, PerfEvent is the base class for all perf events, PebsEvent is a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW event classes based on requriements.

perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()" Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics. Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea "perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events" to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints. For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named "process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute, perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process. Signed-off-by:

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().

We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the tracepoint names there. Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the tracepoint names to when we process samples, but in the next patches we will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as soon as we process the tracing data event.
