Passing build_id object to build_id__sprintf function, so it can operate with the proper size of build id. This will create proper md5 build id readable names, like following: a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff7 instead of: a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201013192441.1299447-5-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-10-14perf tools: Use build_id object in dsoJiri Olsa
Replace build_id byte array with struct build_id object and all the code that references it. The objective is to carry size together with build id array, so it's better to keep both together. This is preparatory change for following patches, and there's no functional change.

2020-03-09perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stackKan Liang
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it. However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be wrong, since the output format is different with new struct branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return corresponding pointer of entries[0]. To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt. Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well. Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack. Committer notes: Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf, eventually. Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header. Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build on arm64.

2019-10-18perf scripting engines: Iterate on tep event arrays directlySteven Rostedt (VMware)
Instead of calling a useless (and broken) helper function to get the next event of a tep event array, just get the array directly and iterate over it. Note, the broken part was from trace_find_next_event() which after this will no longer be used, and can be removed. Committer notes: This fixes a segfault when generating python scripts from perf.data files with multiple tracepoint events, i.e. the following use case is fixed by this patch: # perf record -e sched:* sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (9 samples) ] # perf script -g python Segmentation fault (core dumped) # Reported-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Tzvetomir Stoyanov <tstoyanov@vmware.com> Cc: linux-trace-devel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191017153733.630cd5eb@gandalf.local.home Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191017210636.061448713@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2018-07-11perf script python: Fix dict reference countingJanne Huttunen
The dictionaries are attached to the parameter tuple that steals the references and takes care of releasing them when appropriate. The code should not decrement the reference counts explicitly. E.g. if libpython has been built with reference debugging enabled, the superfluous DECREFs will trigger this error when running perf script: Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:238 object at 0x7f10f2041b40 has negative ref count -1 Aborted (core dumped) If the reference debugging is not enabled, the superfluous DECREFs might cause the dict objects to be silently released while they are still in use. This may trigger various other assertions or just cause perf crashes and/or weird and unexpected data changes in the stored Python objects.

2018-06-06perf script python: Add more PMU fields to event handler dictJin Yao
When doing pmu sampling and then running a script with perf script -s script.py, the process_event function gets dictionary with some fields from the perf ring buffer (like ip, sym, callchain etc). But we miss quite a few fields we report now, for example, LBRs, data source, weight, transaction, iregs, uregs, etc. This patch reports these fields for perf script python processing. New keys/items: --------------- key : brstack items: from, to, from_dsoname, to_dsoname, mispred, predicted, in_tx, abort, cycles. key : brstacksym items: from, to, pred, in_tx, abort (converted string) key : datasrc key : datasrc_decode (decoded string) key : iregs key : uregs key : weight key : transaction v2: --- Add new fields for dso. Use PyBool_FromLong() for mispred/predicted/in_tx/abort Committer notes: !sym->name isn't valid, as its not a pointer, its a [0] array, use !sym->name[0] instead, guaranteed to be the case by symbol__new.
