perf build: Fix Intel PT instruction decoder dependency problem

2015-09-01T16:03:46+00:00

I hit following building error randomly:

    ...
  /bin/sh: /path/to/kernel/buildperf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c: No such file or directory
    ...

This is caused by tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build that, it tries
to generate $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c atomatically
but forget to ensure the existance of $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder
directory.

This patch fixes it by adding $(call rule_mkdir) like other similar rules.

perf tools: Add Intel PT decoder

2015-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.

Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.

The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

perf tools: Add Intel PT log

2015-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding.  The log is
intended for debugging purposes only.

The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current
directory.  The log contains a record of all packets and instructions
decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoder

2015-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace.  The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.

This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.

2015-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

Add support for decoding Intel Processor Trace packets.

This essentially provides intel_pt_get_packet() which takes a buffer of
binary data and returns the decoded packet.
