perf evlist: Fix grouping of multiple events

2011-10-26T12:25:02Z

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events to the first fd opened on that cpu. So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be able to get that first per cpu fd. At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback from hw to soft counters, etc. Reported-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu Tested-by: Deng-Cheng Zhu Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ebm34rh098i9y9v4cytfdp0x@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf python: Add missing perf_event__parse_sample 'swapped' parm

2011-09-23T18:38:53Z

Problem introduced in 936be50, that missed one perf_event__parse_sample user, the python binding.

perf python: Add PERF_RECORD_{LOST,READ,SAMPLE} routine tables

2011-07-25T20:13:27Z

So those friggin "spurious" PERF_RECORD_MMAP events were actually a brain fart copy'n'paste error in the python binding, doh. I.e. they weren't MMAPs, just SAMPLEs. Fix it by providing routines for these events instead of using the MMAP ones.

perf python: Cleanup useless double NULL termination in method arg names

2011-06-02T16:21:26Z

The list of methods argument names only needs to be NULL terminated once. Remove the second ones.

perf python: Fix argument name list of read_on_cpu()

2011-06-02T16:21:07Z

Mandatory arguments need to be present in the argument name list, as well as optional arguments, otherwise python barfs: # ./python/twatch.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./python/twatch.py", line 41, in main() File "./python/twatch.py", line 32, in main event = evlist.read_on_cpu(cpu) RuntimeError: more argument specifiers than keyword list entries Hence, add cpu to the name list.

perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid

2011-06-02T14:04:54Z

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf python: Use exception to propagate errors

2011-06-02T13:55:10Z

We were using pr_debug to tell the user about not being able to parse a sample where we should really use the python way of reporting errors: exceptions. Fixes this problem: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: eprintf >>> [root@emilia ~] As we want to keep the objects linked in the python binding (and in the future in a shared library) minimal.

perf tools: Propagate event parse error handling

2011-05-22T01:38:49Z

Better handle event parsing error by propagating the details in upper layers or by dumping some failure message. So that the user knows he has some crazy events in the batch. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Stephane Eranian

perf tools: Pre-check sample size before parsing

2011-05-22T01:38:36Z

Check that the total size of the sample fields having a fixed size do not exceed the one of the whole event. This robustifies the sample parsing. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Stephane Eranian
