hi, this is initial post of the CTF converter for perf. Basically adding 'perf data convert' command to allow conversion of perf data file into CTF [1] data.
To convert perf data file run: $ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/ [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ] [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ] To display converted CTF data run [2]: $ babeltrace ./ctf-data/ [03:19:13.962125533] (+?.?????????) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 } [03:19:13.962130001] (+0.000004468) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 } [03:19:13.962131936] (+0.000001935) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 8 } [03:19:13.962133732] (+0.000001796) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 114 } [03:19:13.962135557] (+0.000001825) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 2087 } [03:19:13.962137627] (+0.000002070) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81361938, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 37582 } [03:19:13.962161091] (+0.000023464) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8124218F, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 600246 } [03:19:13.962517569] (+0.000356478) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF811A75DB, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1325731 } [03:19:13.969518008] (+0.007000439) cycles: { }, { ip = 0x34080917B2, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1144298 } It has still some limitations (noted in patches), but it has reached the point of the useful perf feature. More features and supports are about to come and it'll be better to continue publicly.
