* perf tools: Librarize sample type and attr finding from headersFrederic Weisbecker2009-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Librarize the sample type and attr fetching from perf data file headers so that we can also use it from perf trace.

* perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed sizeArjan van de Ven2009-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

* perf_counter tools: Rework the file formatPeter Zijlstra2009-06-25
Create a structured file format that includes the full perf_counter_attr and all its relevant counter IDs so that the reporting program has full information. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
