perf tools: Make 'trace' or 'trace_fields' sort key default for tracepoint events

2016-01-06T23:11:13+00:00

When an evlist contains tracepoint events only, use 'trace' sort key as
default.  If --raw-trace option was given, use 'trace_fields' instead.
This will make users more convenient to see trace result.

perf tools: Add 'trace' sort key

2016-01-06T23:11:12+00:00

The 'trace' sort key is to show tracepoint event output using either
print fmt or plugin.  For example sched_switch event (using plugin) will
show output like below:

  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a usleep 10
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (69 samples) ]
  #

  $ perf report -s trace --stdio
  ...
  # Overhead  Trace output
  # ........  ...................................................
  #

       9.48%  transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120]
       9.04%  swapper/2:0 [120] R ==> transmission-gt:17773 [120]
       8.92%  transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120]
       5.25%  swapper/0:0 [120] R ==> kworker/0:1H:109 [100]
       5.21%  kworker/0:1H:109 [100] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120]
       1.78%  swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> transmission-gt:17773 [120]
       1.78%  transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/3:0 [120]
       1.53%  Xephyr:6524 [120] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120]
       1.53%  swapper/0:0 [120] R ==> Xephyr:6524 [120]
       1.17%  swapper/2:0 [120] R ==> irq/33-iwlwifi:233 [49]
       1.13%  irq/33-iwlwifi:233 [49] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120]

Note that the 'trace' sort key works only for tracepoint events.  If
it's used to other type of events, just "N/A" will be printed.

perf tools: Try to show pretty printed output for dynamic sort keys

2016-01-06T23:11:11+00:00

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve
readability.  Try to parse the output and match the field name.  If it
finds one, use that for the result.  If not, fallbacks to the original
output.

For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below:
(Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system.  They might
affect the output below)

Before:
  # Overhead  Command   gfp_flags
  # ........  .......  ..........
  #
      99.89%  perf          32848
       0.06%  sleep           208
       0.03%  perf          32976
       0.01%  perf            208

After:
  # Overhead  Command            gfp_flags
  # ........  .......  ...................
  #
      99.89%  perf       GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO
       0.06%  sleep             GFP_KERNEL
       0.03%  perf     GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO
       0.01%  perf              GFP_KERNEL

perf tools: Pass evlist to setup_sorting()

2016-01-06T23:11:11+00:00

This is a preparation to support dynamic sort keys for tracepoint
events.  Dynamic sort keys can be created for specific fields in trace
events so it needs the event information.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tools: Add support for sorting on the iaddr

2015-10-05T19:32:00+00:00

Sorting on 'symbol' gives to broad a resolution as it can cover a range
of IP address.  Use the iaddr instead to get proper sorting on IP
addresses.  Need to use the 'mem_sort' feature of perf record.

New sort option is: symbol_iaddr, header label is 'Code Symbol'.

  $ perf mem report --stdio -F +symbol_iaddr
  # Overhead       Samples  Code Symbol              Local Weight
