perf callchain: Move the callchain_param extern to callchain.h

2014-10-14T20:32:51+00:00

It was lost in hist.h, move it to where it belongs, callchain.h, as
there are places that gets hist.h by means of evsel.h, and since evsel.h
is being untangled from hist.h...

perf scripting: Add 'flush' callback to scripting API

2014-08-22T16:12:11+00:00

In order to defer some output via the scripting API, there needs to be a
callback after session processing but before the session is deleted.

perf script python: Add helpers for calling Python objects

2014-08-13T22:22:01+00:00

The Python script API repeatedly uses the same lines of code to get and
call objects.  Make that into helper functions instead.

A side-effect is that some reference counting bugs disappear because the
new call_object() function always decrements the reference count of
'retval'.

perf script: Provide additional sample information on generic events

2014-07-16T20:57:33+00:00

To python scripts, including pid, tid, and cpu for which the event was
recorded.

At the moment, the pointer to the sample struct is passed to scripts,
which seems to be of little use.

The patch puts this information in dictionaries for easy access by
Python scripts.

perf script: Add callchain to generic and tracepoint events

2014-07-16T20:57:33+00:00

This provides valuable information for tracing performance problems.

Since this change alters the interface for the python scripts, also
adjust the script generation and the provided scripts.

perf script: Handle the num array type in python properly

2014-06-27T09:15:02+00:00

The raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracer for instance passes has one argument
named 'arg' which is an array of 6 integers. Right the python scripts
gets only 0 passed as an argument. The reason is that
pevent_read_number() can not handle data types of 48 and returns always
0.
This patch changes this by passing num array as list of nums which fit
the description. As a result python will now see a list named arg which
contains 6 (integer) items.

perf script: Move the number processing into its own function

2014-06-27T09:14:57+00:00

I was going to change something here and the result was so much on the
right side of the screen that I decided to move that piece into its own
function.
This patch should make no function change except the moving the code
into its own function.

perf script/python: Print array argument as string

2014-06-09T10:21:03+00:00

With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw
syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this:

  $ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
  $ perf script -g python
  $ perf script -s perf-script.py
  ...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "perf-script.py", line 42, in raw_syscalls__sys_enter
      (id, args),
  TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list
  Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler
  Aborted (core dumped)

This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as
unsigned integer (%u).  Since the python seems to convert arguments to
strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me.
