Current python script can only handle trace point type of events, this
patch serie try to follow Robert Richter's idea in commit 37a058ea0
"perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events"
to similarly add a python handler for general events other than
tracepoints.
Please help to revew, thanks.
- Feng
Change logs:
Since v2:
* Correct some __unused usage
* Add a new parameter: event name to event handler
Since v1:
* Use dictory as the paramter passwd from c to python
* Use "process_event" name to comply with perl
----------------
Feng Tang (3):
perf script: Add general python handler to process non-tracepoint
events
perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a
parameter for "process_event()"
perf script/python: Pass event/thread/dso name and symbol info to
event handler in python

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea0
"perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events"
to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints.
For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named
"process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute,
perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can
use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process.

1.7.1
Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace
points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info
to the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics.
Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using
addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional
symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need
to bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

Also as suggested by Arnaldo, pack all these parameters to a dictionary,
which is more expandable for adding new parameters while keep the
compatibility for old scripts.

Now old scrips will break, as the tuple they expect:
(attr, sample, raw_data)
will not be there.
To not break those scripts you must leave it there and add the new ones
in a python compatible way. I.e. have you tested the existing scripts
using the new perf tool with your patches applied? They must continue to
work.
I.e. leave the old tuple and add the dict at the end somehow.
The first two patches in this series don't apply anymore, please find
them attached fixed, please check if they work as expected.

Actually, there are no such scripts out. Current perf python script only
supports the trace point type, while perl scriptt has the support for
general events. It is my first patch "perf script: Add general python
handler to process non-tracepoint events" which bring this (attr, sample,
raw_data) in to be on the same page as perl. So this won't be a problem
when the 3 patches are merged together.

Thanks a lot for fixing them, I'll generate perf tool patch against the
"perf/core" branch of your git tree on kernel.org from now on.
Btw, I have 2 more python scripts based on these patches, will add them
to this serie for your review.
Thanks,
Feng

Cool, I forgot about that, thanks for correcting me :-)
But even then, perf and python diverged in this... anyway, not a big
deal, I guess, the info available for perl scripts will be available in
the dict as well, right?

No, current perl code will pass 4 rather raw data structures to the
script's "process_event": pevent->header, evel->attr, sample, sample->raw_data
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)pevent, pevent->header.size)));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)&evsel->attr, sizeof(evsel->attr))));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)sample, sizeof(*sample))));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)sample->raw_data, sample->raw_size)));
my patch only have the last 3 ones plus extra event_name/dso_name/symobl,
while missing the "pevent->header", do you want me to add it?
