[PATCH 08/10] perf script: Support custom field selection for output

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Mar 09 2011 - 13:32:13 EST


From: David Ahern <daahern@xxxxxxxxx>

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data. Options
include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id), time (perf
timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for trace data).

Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this feature does
alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command and pid/tid.

Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

Examples (output compressed)

1. trace, default format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script

swapper 0 [000] 537.037184: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0...
sshd 1675 [000] 537.037309: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675...
netstat 1692 [001] 537.038664: sched_switch: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692...

2. trace, custom format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script -f comm,pid,time,trace <--- omitting cpu and event name

swapper 0 537.037184: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 ...
sshd 1675 537.037309: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675 prev_prio=120 ...
netstat 1692 537.038664: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692 prev_prio=120 ...
