Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:
[acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
Error: unknown option `hell'
usage: perf trace <PID>
-p, --pid <pid> trace events on existing process id
--tid <tid> trace events on existing thread id
--all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
--cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor
--no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters
--mmap-pages <n> number of mmap data pages
--uid <user> user to profile
[acme@sandy linux]$
Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.
It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!
In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
-o filename
Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).
It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:
"Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments

This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.
The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.
With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al
The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al
and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid
Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.
For example:
$ perf trace syscall-counts ls
Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.
If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:
$ perf trace record syscall-counts
$ perf trace report syscall-counts ls
So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:
- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step
- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
used - all extra args are send to the report script as params
- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
script, and the rest are sent to the record step

Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.
If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.
If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.

The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.
Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.
Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and

In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.
While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.
Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.
The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:
perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.
$ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -
In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.
This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:
$ perf trace rwtop 5
Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).
The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

to.

Allow scripts to be recorded/executed by simply specifying the
script root name (the script name minus extension) along with
'record' or 'report' to 'perf trace'.
The script names shown by 'perf trace -l' can be directly used
to run the command-line contained within the corresponding
'-record' and '-report' versions of scripts in the scripts/*/bin
directories.
For example, to record the trace data needed to run the
wakeup-latency.pl script, the user can easily find the name of
the corresponding script from the script list and invoke it
using 'perf trace record', without having to remember the
details of how to do the same thing using the lower-level perf
trace command-line options:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
List of available trace scripts:
workqueue-stats workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file
check-perf-trace useless but exhaustive test script
rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity
root@tropicana:~# perf trace record wakeup-latency
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.296 MB perf.data (~12931
samples) ]
To run the wakeup-latency.pl script using the captured data,
change 'record' to 'report' in the command-line:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace report wakeup-latency
wakeup_latency stats:
total_wakeups: 65
avg_wakeup_latency (ns): 22417
min_wakeup_latency (ns): 3470
max_wakeup_latency (ns): 223311
perf trace Perl script stopped
If the script takes options, thay can be simply added to the end
of the 'report' invocation:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace record rw-by-file
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.782 MB perf.data (~34171
samples) ]

Lists the available perf trace scripts, one per line e.g.:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
List of available trace scripts:
workqueue-stats workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file
check-perf-trace useless but exhaustive test script
rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity
To be consistent with the other listing options in perf, the
current latency trace option was changed to '-L', and '-l' is
now used to access the script listing as:
To create the list, it searches each scripts/*/bin directory for
files ending with "-report" and reads information found in
certain comment lines contained in those shell scripts:
- if the comment line starts with "description:", the rest of the
line is used as a 'half-line' description. To keep each line in
the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40
characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and
args)
- if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line
names the args the script supports. Required args should be
surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets.
The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated
with description: and args: comments.

One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds
argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the
rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf'
value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do
some related minor cleanup.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Pass the event_ops to perf_session__process_events instead.
Also move the event_ops definition to session.h, starting to
move things around to their right place, trimming the many

That does all the initialization boilerplate, opening the file,
reading the header, checking if it is valid, etc.
And that will as well have the threads list, kmap (now) global
variable, etc, so that we can handle two (or more) perf.data files
describing sessions to compare.
