[tracecompass-dev] Fwd: FW: [PATCH 0/8] perf tools: Add perf data CTF conversion

Hi all,

The perf-CTF support was proposed for inclusion upstream! Trace Compass master should be able to open those traces correctly (if not, please open a bug!). See the patchset introduction email, below, for instructions and screenshots.

Cheers,
Alexandre

Subject: [PATCH 0/8] perf tools: Add perf data CTF conversion

hi,
this is follow up on original RFC patchset:
  http://marc.info/?t=140732735600004&r=1&w=2

Basically we are adding 'perf data convert' command to allow conversion of perf data file into CTF [1] data.

Changes from RFC:
  - able to generate CTF data, that are possible to be displayed under
    tracecompas GUI [3], please check several screenshots in here [4]
  - storing CTF data streams per cpu
  - several cleanups

Examples:
- Catch default perf data (cycles event):
  $ perf record ls
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (~546 samples) ]

- To display converted CTF data run [2]:
  $ babeltrace ./ctf-data/
  [03:19:13.962125533] (+?.?????????) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 }
  [03:19:13.962130001] (+0.000004468) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 }
  [03:19:13.962131936] (+0.000001935) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 8 }
  [03:19:13.962133732] (+0.000001796) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 114 }
  [03:19:13.962135557] (+0.000001825) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 2087 }
  [03:19:13.962137627] (+0.000002070) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81361938, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 37582 }
  [03:19:13.962161091] (+0.000023464) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8124218F, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 600246 }
  [03:19:13.962517569] (+0.000356478) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF811A75DB, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1325731 }

- To get some nice output in tracecompas GUI [3], please capture sched:*
  and syscall tracepoints like:
  # perf record -e 'sched:*,raw_syscalls:*' -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 412.347 MB perf.data (~18015721 samples) ]

- To convert perf data file run:
  # perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 408.421 MB (3964792 samples) ]

- To display converted CTF data run [2]:
  # babeltrace ./ctf-data/

- Or run tracecompass and open the CTF data ;-)
