d1b93772 - perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlers

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:15:50 +0000

perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlersThe Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a traceevent's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, butnot all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. Togive scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data ormetadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a wayto access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patchuses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx eventfields not passed to handler functions.Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that accessfields for the current event by calling back into perf:common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Supportfor common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and ascript used to sanity check these and other basic scriptingfeatures, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi Cc: fweisbec@gmail.comCc: rostedt@goodmis.orgCc: anton@samba.orgCc: hch@infradead.orgLKML-Reference: <1259133352-23685-6-git-send-email-tzanussi@gmail.com>Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar List of files: /linux-6.15/tools/perf/scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/README
