hi, this is follow up on original RFC patchset: http://marc.info/?t=140732735600004&r=1&w=2
Basically we are adding 'perf data convert' command to allow conversion of perf data file into CTF [1] data. v4 changes: - sorted out babeltrace new code regressions - rebased to latest acme's perf/core - includes fixes from Wang Nan, patches 9/10/11 - patch 1/11 changelog updated with babeltrace compilation instructions [Arnaldo] v3 changes: - rebased to latest acme's perf/core v2 changes: - addressed comments from Namhyung - rebased to latest acme's perf/core Changes from RFC: - able to generate CTF data, that are possible to be displayed under tracecompas GUI [3], please check several screenshots in here [4] - storing CTF data streams per cpu - several cleanups Examples: - Catch default perf data (cycles event): $ perf record ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (~546 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 } - To get some nice output in tracecompas GUI [3], please capture sched:* and syscall tracepoints like: # perf record -e 'sched:*,raw_syscalls:*' -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 412.347 MB perf.data (~18015721 samples) ] - To convert perf data file run: # perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf' ] [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 408.421 MB (3964792 samples) ] - To display converted CTF data run [2]: # babeltrace ./ctf-data/ [23:32:20.165354855] (+0.000000507) sched:sched_wakeup: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF810BCA72, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_id = 462554, perf_period = 1, common_type = 265, ...
