* perf tools: Add id indexAdrian Hunter2014-10-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 tools: Rename ordered_samples bool to ordered_eventsJiri Olsa2014-08-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The time ordering is generic for all kinds of events, so using generic name 'ordered_events' for ordered_samples bool in perf_tool struct. No functional change was intended.

* perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 supportStephane Eranian2013-09-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record. It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and the inode number and generation. This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for instance. The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

* perf tools: Remove event types framework completelyJiri Olsa2013-07-151-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removing event types framework completely. The only remainder (apart from few comments) is following enum: enum perf_user_event_type { ... PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE = 65, /* deprecated */ ... } It's kept as deprecated, resulting in error when processed in perf_session__process_user_event function.

* perf tools: Fix missing tool parameterAdrian Hunter2013-07-121-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'inject' command expects to get a reference to 'struct perf_inject' from its 'tool' member. For that to work, 'tool' needs to be a parameter of all tool callbacks. Make it so.

* perf tools: Save some loops using perf_evlist__id2evselArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-11-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we already ask for PERF_SAMPLE_ID and use it to quickly find the associated evsel, add handler func + data to struct perf_evsel to avoid using chains of if(strcmp(event_name)) and also to avoid all the linear list searches via trace_event_find.
