Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 2ae3a312c0 perf trace: Allow specifying which syscalls to trace
Similar to -e in strace, i.e. a comma separated list of syscall names
to trace.

Adrian Hunter 380512345e perf tools: struct thread has a tid not a pid
As evident from 'machine__process_fork_event()' and
'machine__process_exit_event()' the 'pid' member of struct thread is
actually the tid.

Rename 'pid' to 'tid' in struct thread accordingly.

Robert Richter 4e319027a7 perf tools: Use default include path notation for libtraceevent headers
Header files of libtraceevent or no longer local headers. Thus, use
default path notation for them. Also removing extra traceevent include
path and instead handle this similar to liblk.

Namhyung Kim 119fa3c922 perf evlist: Do not pass struct record_opts to perf_evlist__prepare_workload()
Since it's only used for checking ->pipe_output, we can pass the result
directly.

Now the perf_evlist__prepare_workload() don't have a dependency of
struct perf_record_opts, it can be called from other places like perf
stat.

For now the timestamp and duration are always on, will be selectable.

Also if multiple threads are being monitored, its tid will appear.

Sometimes we're segfaulting because we were expecting that the

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 514f1c67c2 perf trace: New tool
Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:

  [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
  Error: unknown option `hell'

   usage: perf trace <PID>

      -p, --pid <pid>       trace events on existing process id
          --tid <tid>       trace events on existing thread id
          --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
          --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor
          --no-inherit      child tasks do not inherit counters
          --mmap-pages <n>  number of mmap data pages
          --uid <user>      user to profile

  [acme@sandy linux]$

Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!

In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
	-o filename

Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).

It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:

   "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
   http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

Tom Zanussi b5b8731219 perf trace: live-mode command-line cleanup
This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.

The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.

With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al

The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al

and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid

Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.

For example:

 $ perf trace syscall-counts ls

Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.

If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:

 $ perf trace record syscall-counts
 $ perf trace report syscall-counts ls

So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:

- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
  are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step

- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
  used - all extra args are send to the report script as params

- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
  the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
  script, and the rest are sent to the record step

Tom Zanussi 34c86ea97e perf trace record: handle commands correctly
Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.

If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.

If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.

Frederic Weisbecker 6fcf7ddbb7 perf: Don't print traces when debugging ordering
Errors due to ordering bugs are easily lost in the middle
of traces.

When we are in this mode, don't print the traces so that
we don't miss the debugging messages.
But display a comforting message if we didn't encounter any
ordering problem.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cee75ac7ec perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usage
The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.

Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.

Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and
stop doing it again.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1c02c4d2e9 perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to it
In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

Tom Zanussi 454c407ec1 perf: add perf-inject builtin
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.

What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.

This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:

perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -

perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.

Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

Frederic Weisbecker e0a808c65c perf: Use generic sample reordering in perf trace
Use the new generic sample events reordering from perf trace.
Before that, the displayed traces were ordered as they were
in the input as recorded by perf record (not time ordered).

This makes eventually perf trace displaying the events as beeing
time ordered.

Tom Zanussi a0cccc2e8e perf trace: Invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specified
Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.

 $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -

In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.

This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe.  So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:

 $ perf trace rwtop 5

Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).

The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

Tom Zanussi 9215545e99 perf: Convert perf tracing data into a tracing_data event
Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with
a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes
the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a
pipe.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events.  The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.
