<title>perf scripts python: Add a script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallel</title>

<id>e0c48bf9e80ceefb83d74999adeeddbdd95f4c1d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a Python script to run a perf script command multiple times in
parallel, using perf script options --cpu and --time so that each job
processes a different chunk of the data.

Extend perf script tests to test also the new script.

The script supports the use of normal 'perf script' options like
--dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs
naturally extends to them also. In addition, a command can be provided
(refer --pipe-to option) to pipe standard output to a custom command.

Refer to the script's own help text at the end of the patch for more
details.

The script is useful for Intel PT traces, that can be efficiently
decoded by 'perf script' when split by CPU and/or time ranges. Running
jobs in parallel can decrease the overall decoding time.

Committer testing:

  Ian reported that shellcheck found some issues, I installed it as there
  are no warnings about it not being available, but when available it
  fails the build with:

    TEST    /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/tests/shell/script.sh.shellcheck_log

  In tests/shell/script.sh line 86:

                              ^-----------^ SC2154 (warning): output_dir is referenced but not assigned (did you mean 'output1_dir'?).

Did these fixes:

  +               rm -rf "${temp_dir:?}/"*

Add a Python script to run a perf script command multiple times in
parallel, using perf script options --cpu and --time so that each job
processes a different chunk of the data.

Extend perf script tests to test also the new script.

The script supports the use of normal 'perf script' options like
--dlfilter and --script, so that the benefit of running parallel jobs
naturally extends to them also. In addition, a command can be provided
(refer --pipe-to option) to pipe standard output to a custom command.

Refer to the script's own help text at the end of the patch for more
details.

The script is useful for Intel PT traces, that can be efficiently
decoded by 'perf script' when split by CPU and/or time ranges. Running
jobs in parallel can decrease the overall decoding time.

Committer testing:

  Ian reported that shellcheck found some issues, I installed it as there
  are no warnings about it not being available, but when available it
  fails the build with:

These tests record in a mode that includes kernel trace but look for
samples of a userspace process. This makes them sensitive to any kernel
compilation options that increase the amount of time spent in the
kernel. If the trace buffer is completely filled before userspace is
reached then the test will fail. Double the buffer size to fix this.

The other tests in the same file aren't sensitive to this for various
reasons, for example the iterate devices test filters by userspace trace
only. But in order to keep coverage of all the modes, increase the
buffer size rather than filtering by userspace for the basic tests.

progress and introduce test functions. Add test of measuring both
cycles and cycles:b simultaneously.

Refactor test to better enable sharing of logic, to give an idea of
progress and introduce test functions. Add test of measuring both
cycles and cycles:b simultaneously.

This check can be done with uname which is more portable. At the same
time re-arrange it into a standard if statement so that it's more
readable.

<title>perf test: Stat output per thread of just the parent process</title>

Per-thread mode requires either system-wide (-a), a pid (-p) or a tid
(-t).

The stat output tests were using system-wide mode but this is racy when
threads are starting and exiting - something that happens a lot when
running the tests in parallel (perf test -p).

Avoid the race conditions by using pid mode with the pid of the parent
process.

perf test -vv Symbols is used to indentify symbols within the perf
binary. Add the -F flag so that the test command doesn't fork the test
before running. This removes a little overhead.

As a form of validation, it is a common practice to check the outputs
of commands whether they contain expected patterns or match a certain
regex.

Add helpers for verifying that all regexes are found in the output, that
all lines match any pattern from a set and that a certain expression is
not present in the output.

In verbose mode these helpers log mismatches for easier failure
investigation.
