perf tools: Do not use __perf_session__process_events() directly

2015-01-29T19:36:32+00:00

It's only used for perf record to process build-id because its file size
it's not fixed at this time due to remaining header features.

However data offset and size is available so that we can use the
perf_session__process_events() once we set the file size as the current
offset like for now.

perf session: Add perf_session__deliver_synth_event()

2014-10-29T13:36:15+00:00

Add a function to deliver synthesized events from within a session.

Intel PT decoding works by synthesizing events (primarily branch events)
that can then be consumed by existing tools.  This function will be used
to deliver those events.

perf tools: Add id index

2014-10-29T13:24:47+00:00

Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT.

The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number
allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open().  Events
can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or
PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER.

Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the
evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel()

The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to
the mmap from which it was read.  The reason that is useful is because the
mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread).
Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis.  In full-trace mode, that
information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in
sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in
that case that the "id index" is needed.

So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id
by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel().

That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index".
idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of
evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels).  The information can be
retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid().  Note however this all depends on
having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER,
otherwise ids are not recorded.

The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when
Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index().

perf session: Remove last reference to hists struct

2014-10-14T14:41:25+00:00

Now perf_session doesn't require that the evsels in its evlist are hists
containing ones.

Tools that are hists based and want to do per evsel events_stats
updates, if at some point this turns into a necessity, should do it in
the tool specific code, keeping the session class hists agnostic.

perf tools: Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of volatile cast

2014-09-26T15:36:03+00:00

Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of the cast to volatile and read. This is just
a style change which is reader friendly.

perf tools: Flush ordered events in case of allocation failure

2014-08-12T15:02:57+00:00

In previous patches we added a limit for ordered events queue allocation
size. If we reach this size we need to flush (part of) the queue to get
some free buffers.

The current functionality is not affected, because the limit is hard
coded to (u64) -1. The configuration code for size will come in
following patches.

2014-08-12T15:02:57+00:00

Add limit to the ordered events queue allocation. This way we will be

There's no limit at the moment (it's set to (u64) -1). The config code
will come in following patches.
