perf scripting perl: Force to use stdbool

2015-01-21T13:05:00+00:00

When building perf for arm64 I hit a warning (and be treated as an
error) like below:

 aarch64-oe-linux-gcc -o .../scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o -c -Wbad-function-cast \
         ... scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c

 In file included from .../usr/lib64/perl/5.14.3/CORE/perl.h:2464:0,
                  from Context.xs:23:
 /.../usr/lib64/perl/5.14.3/CORE/handy.h:108:0: error: "bool" redefined [-Werror]
  #  define bool char
  ^
 In file included from /.../usr/src/kernel/tools/include/linux/types.h:4:0,
                  from /.../usr/src/kernel/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h:19,
		  from /.../usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:27,
		  from /.../usr/include/signal.h:340,

    #define bool _Bool

Looks like the failure is caused by arm64 uapi/asm/sigcontext.h, which
includes linux/types.h while other archs not.

Current perl consider this problem:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/bd31be4baa3ee68abdb92c0db3200efe0fad903b

However there are users which use old version of perl.

This patch includes stdbool.h before Context.xs and define HAS_BOOL to
prevent perl'e headers define its own 'bool'. Code is learn from perl's
git tree.

perf script: Add Python script to export to postgresql

2014-10-29T12:32:49+00:00

Add a Python script to export to a postgresql database.

The script requires the Python pyside module and the Qt PostgreSQL
driver.  The packages needed are probably named "python-pyside" and
"libqt4-sql-psql"

The caller of the script must be able to create postgresql databases.

The script takes the database name as a parameter.  The database and
database tables are created.  Data is written to flat files which are
then imported using SQL COPY FROM.

Example:

  $ perf record ls
  ...
  $ perf script report export-to-postgresql lsdb

My notes (which may be out-of-date) on setting up postgresql so you can
create databases:

fedora:

        $ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server python-pyside qt-postgresql
        $ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
        $ sudo service postgresql start
        $ sudo su - postgres
        $ createuser -s 

I used the the unix user name in createuser.

If it fails, try createuser without -s and answer the following question
to allow your user to create tables:

        Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y

ubuntu:

        $ sudo apt-get install postgresql
        $ sudo su - postgres
        $ createuser 
        Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y

You may want to disable automatic startup.  One way is to edit
/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/start.conf.  Another is to disable the init
script e.g. sudo update-rc.d postgresql disable

perf script: Add callchain to generic and tracepoint events

2014-07-16T20:57:33+00:00

This provides valuable information for tracing performance problems.

Since this change alters the interface for the python scripts, also
adjust the script generation and the provided scripts.

perf scripts: Fallback to syscalls:* when raw_syscalls:* is not available

2014-06-25T15:26:56+00:00

Older kernels (e.g., RHEL6) do system call tracing via the
syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints rather than using raw_syscalls:*.

Update perf python and perl scripts to fallback to syscalls:* when
raw_syscalls:* isn't available.

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some

sensibly.
