[PATCHv2 0/8] perf tools: Add perf data CTF conversion
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Dec 11 2014 - 10:14:51 EST
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.
v2 changes:
- addressed comments from Namhyung
- rebased to latest acme's perf/core
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 }

- 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]:

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