The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.
However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].
To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.
Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.
Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.
Committer notes:
Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.
Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.
Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

Instead of calling a useless (and broken) helper function to get the
next event of a tep event array, just get the array directly and iterate
over it.
Note, the broken part was from trace_find_next_event() which after this
will no longer be used, and can be removed.
Committer notes:
This fixes a segfault when generating python scripts from perf.data
files with multiple tracepoint events, i.e. the following use case is
fixed by this patch:
# perf record -e sched:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
# perf script -g python
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in

systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts.
This renames 'struct tep_event_format' to 'struct tep_event', which

The dictionaries are attached to the parameter tuple that steals the
references and takes care of releasing them when appropriate. The code
should not decrement the reference counts explicitly. E.g. if libpython
has been built with reference debugging enabled, the superfluous DECREFs
will trigger this error when running perf script:
Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:238 object at
0x7f10f2041b40 has negative ref count -1
Aborted (core dumped)
If the reference debugging is not enabled, the superfluous DECREFs might
cause the dict objects to be silently released while they are still in
use. This may trigger various other assertions or just cause perf
crashes and/or weird and unexpected data changes in the stored Python
objects.

When doing pmu sampling and then running a script with perf script -s
script.py, the process_event function gets dictionary with some fields
from the perf ring buffer (like ip, sym, callchain etc).
But we miss quite a few fields we report now, for example, LBRs, data
source, weight, transaction, iregs, uregs, etc.
This patch reports these fields for perf script python processing.
New keys/items:
---------------
key : brstack
items: from, to, from_dsoname, to_dsoname, mispred,
predicted, in_tx, abort, cycles.
key : brstacksym
items: from, to, pred, in_tx, abort (converted string)
key : datasrc
key : datasrc_decode (decoded string)
key : iregs
key : uregs
key : weight
key : transaction
v2:
---
Add new fields for dso.
Use PyBool_FromLong() for mispred/predicted/in_tx/abort
Committer notes:
!sym->name isn't valid, as its not a pointer, its a [0] array, use
!sym->name[0] instead, guaranteed to be the case by symbol__new.
This was caught by just one of the containers:

There could be different types of memory in the system. E.g normal
System Memory, Persistent Memory. To understand how the workload maps to
those memories, it's important to know the I/O statistics of them. Perf
can collect physical addresses, but those are raw data. It still needs
extra work to resolve the physical addresses. Provide a script to
facilitate the physical addresses resolving and I/O statistics.
Profile with MEM_INST_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS or MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS
event if any of them is available.
Look up the /proc/iomem and resolve the physical address. Provide
memory type summary.
Here is an example output:
# perf script report mem-phys-addr
Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ----------- -----------
System RAM 74 53.2%
Persistent Memory 55 39.6%
N/A
---
Changes since V2:
- Apply the new license rules.
- Add comments for globals
Changes since V1:
- Do not mix DLA and Load Latency. Do not compare the loads and stores.
Only profile the loads.
- Use event name to replace the RAW event

The process_event python hook receives a dict with all perf_sample
entries, but the tracepoint specific and trace_unhandled hooks predate
the introduction of this dict, and do not receive it.
Add the aforementioned dict as an additional argument to the affected
handlers. To keep backwards compatibility (and avoid unnecessary work),
do not pass the dict if the number of arguments signals that handler
version predates this change.
