2010-02-25perf/scripts: Add syscall tracing scriptsTom Zanussi
Adds a set of scripts that aggregate system call totals and system call errors. Most are Python scripts that also test basic functionality of the new Python engine, but there's also one Perl script added for comparison and for reference in some new Documentation contained in a later patch.

2010-02-23perf/scripts: Remove check-perf-trace from listed scriptsTom Zanussi
The check-perf-trace script only checks Perl functionality, and doesn't really need to be listed as as user script anyway. This only removes the '-report' shell script, so although it doesn't appear in the listing, the '-record' shell script and the check perf trace perl script itself is still available and can still be run manually as such: $ libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/bin/check-perf-trace-record $ perf trace -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/check-perf-trace.pl Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Keiichi KII <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1264580883-15324-6-git-send-email-tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2009-12-15perf trace/scripting: List available scriptsTom Zanussi
Lists the available perf trace scripts, one per line e.g.: root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l List of available trace scripts: workqueue-stats workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy) wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file check-perf-trace useless but exhaustive test script rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity To be consistent with the other listing options in perf, the current latency trace option was changed to '-L', and '-l' is now used to access the script listing as: To create the list, it searches each scripts/*/bin directory for files ending with "-report" and reads information found in certain comment lines contained in those shell scripts: - if the comment line starts with "description:", the rest of the line is used as a 'half-line' description. To keep each line in the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40 characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and args) - if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line names the args the script supports. Required args should be surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets. The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated with description: and args: comments.

2009-12-15perf trace/scripting: Add support for script argsTom Zanussi
One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf' value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do some related minor cleanup.

2009-11-30perf trace/scripting: Fix Perl common_* access functionsTom Zanussi
The common_* functions (e.g. common_pc(), etc) are exported as common_* but named get_common_*, resulting in unresolved subroutine errors when executing scripts. Make the internal and external names match.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add a scripts/perl/bin for perf trace shell scriptsTom Zanussi
To capture the relevant events for a given Perl script and to avoid having to continually remember and type in long command-lines, add a scripts/perl/bin directory containing two simple shell scripts for each Perl script, one for recording and one for processing/display. For example, to record perf data for the rw-by-pid.pl script, run scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-record and to actually run the script and display the output run scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-report.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlersTom Zanussi
The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. To give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event fields not passed to handler functions. Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access fields for the current event by calling back into perf: common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Support for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add perf trace scripting support modules for PerlTom Zanussi
Add Perf-Trace-Util Perl module and some scripts that use it. Core.pm contains Perl code to define and access flag and symbolic fields. Util.pm contains general-purpose utility functions. Also adds some makefile bits to install them in libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl (or wherever perfexec_instdir points).
