Re: [PATCH RFC 2/2] perf: convert: fix duplicate field names and avoid reserved keywords.

2015-01-26 Thread Wang Nan
Hi all,

I posted a new series of patches for this problem. I open another thread to 
avoid
disorder this thread. Please see:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/26/198

Thank you.

The prospect of seeing that code has convinced me to introduce
int bt_ctf_validate_identifier(const char *identifier);

commit 654c1444b546fd79b209288b93ed4e87d9bb8a2b
Author: Jérémie Galarneau 
Date:   Fri Jan 23 16:24:52 2015 -0500

Add utility function to validate CTF identifiers

Introduces bt_ctf_validate_identifier() which validates a given
identifier against the list of CTF reserved keywords.

This function may evolve to perform additional validity checks in
the future as the CTF specification moves forward.

Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers 
Signed-off-by: Jérémie Galarneau 


Does that take care of the problem?

that one was to workaround the regression in babeltrace,
I'm now using sane babeltrace HEAD as advertized by Jeremie:

"In the meantime, testing against Babeltrace master 3baf0856 should be alright."

AFAIK there's no official method to check blacklist right now. Utilizing 
existing
functions to check blacklist is possible. For example, we can create a clock 
using
bt_ctf_clock_create() with the checked name and then free it. However, it is 
hacky
and I think you won't like it.

I believe my solution should be acceptable before babeltrace export its
validate_identifier() function to users. Jérémie Galarneau, do you have better
idea on it?

if we allow for _dupl_10, should we use 'sizeof("_dupl_x")' ^^^ in here?

so there's no other way on checking up with the blacklist right?

[PATCH RFC 2/2] perf: convert: fix duplicate field names and avoid reserved keywords.

2015-01-21 Thread Wang Nan
(If Steven Rostedt accept the previous patch which introduce a priv
 field to 'struct format_field', we can use a relative simple method
 for name conversion. If not , perf must track name conversion by
 itself.)

Some parameters of syscall tracepoints named as 'nr', 'event', etc.
When dealing with them, perf convert to ctf meets some problem:

 1. If a parameter with name 'nr', it will duplicate syscall's
common field 'nr'. One such syscall is io_submit().

 2. If a parameter with name 'event', it is denied to be inserted
because 'event' is a babeltrace keywork. One such syscall is
epoll_ctl.

This patch appends '_dupl_X' suffix to avoid problem 1, prepend a '_'
prefix to avoid problem 2.
