      Simplify event naming as <symbol>_<seqnum>. Each event name is
      globally unique (group name is not checked). So, if there is
      schedule_0, next probe event on schedule() will be schedule_1.

      perf probe: Add --list option for listing current probe events · 4de189fe
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add --list option for listing currently defined probe events
      in the kernel. This shows events in below format;
      
       [group:event]	<perf-probe probe-definition>
      
      for example:
      
       [probe:schedule_0]	schedule+30 cpu
      
      Note that source file/line information is not supported yet.
      So even if you added a probe by line, it will be shown in
      <symbol+offset>.

      perf trace: Add a scripts/perl/bin for perf trace shell scripts · 1ae4a971
      Tom Zanussi authored
      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.

      perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlers · d1b93772
      Tom Zanussi authored
      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.

      perf trace: Add Perl scripting support · 16c632de
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Implement trace_scripting_ops to make Perl a supported perf
      trace scripting language.
      
      Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access
      the 'flag' and 'symbolic' (__print_flags(), __print_symbolic())
      field information parsed from the trace format files.
      
      Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script()
      trace_scripting_op, which creates a ready-to-run perf trace Perl
      script based on existing trace data.  Scripts generated by this
      implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned
      in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting
      code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally
      generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled',
      'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers.  Script authors can
      simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom
      event handling.

      perf trace: Add flag/symbolic format_flags · eb9a42ca
      Tom Zanussi authored
      It's useful to know whether a field is a flag or symbolic field
      for e.g. when generating scripts - it allows us to translate
      those fields specially rather than literally as plain numeric
      values.

      perf trace: Add scripting ops · 956ffd02
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a
      particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace
      stream processing using that language.
      
      The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language
      interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and
      thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages
      available for trace processing.
      
      See below for details on the interface.
      
      This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf
      trace':
      
      The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run.
      Script names that can be used with -s take the form:
      
      [language spec:]scriptname[.ext]
      
      Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can
      be used to specify scripts for the registered languages.  The
      specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions.
      
      If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of
      the matching language regardless of any extension it might have.
       If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the
      language it corresponds to.  Language specs are case
      insensitive.
      
      e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways:
      
      Perl:scriptname
      pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored
      PL:scriptname
      scriptname.pl
      scriptname.perl
      
      The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point
      for writing scripts in the specified language.  Scripting
      support for a particular language can implement a
      generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or
      near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a
      given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct
      way to access that.
      
      Adding support for a scripting language
      ---------------------------------------
      
      The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new
      language is to implement the scripting_ops interface:
      
      It consists of the following four functions:
      
          start_script()
          stop_script()
          process_event()
          generate_script()
      
      start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is
      meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
      set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an
      instance of a language interpreter.
      
      stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is
      meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
      clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc.
      
      process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its
      main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be
      processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the
      binary fields from the event record and sending them to the
      script handler function associated with that event e.g. a
      function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g.
      'sched::sched_switch()'.  The 'format' information for trace
      events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a
      form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl
      implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to
      leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map
      that info into specific scripting language types.
      
      generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the
      current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that
      print out every field for each event.  Again, look at the Perl
      implementation for clues as to how that can be done.  This is an
      optional, but very useful op.
      
      Support for a given language should also add a language-specific
      setup function and call it from setup_scripting().  The
      language-specific setup function associates the the scripting
      ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers'
      (see below) using script_spec_register().  When a script name is
      specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with
      the specified language are used to instantiate and use the
      appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream.
      
      In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a
      new language, especially if the language implementation supports
      an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside
      another program (in this case the containing program will be
      'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to
      translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script
      functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event
      type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields.
       The event and field type information exported by the event
      tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be
      enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user
      script.  The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to
      look at the Perl implementation contained in
      perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h.
      
      There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the
      scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional,
      but should be implemented if possible.  One of these is support
      for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more
      human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or
      HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values.  See the
      Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing
      is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access
      e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler
      functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make
      available to users via the language interface.  Again, see the
      Perl implementation for examples.
