[PATCH 1/6] perf script python: Add trace_context extension module to sys,modules

From: Tony Jones
Date: Wed Jan 23 2019 - 19:51:52 EST


In Python3, the result of PyModule_Create (called from
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c) is not automatically added to
sys.modules. See: https://bugs.python.org/issue4592

Below is the observed behavior without the fix:

# ldd /usr/bin/perf | grep -i python
libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f8e1dfb2000)

# perf record /bin/false
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]

# perf script -g python | cat
generated Python script: perf-script.py

# perf script -s ./perf-script.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./perf-script.py", line 18, in <module>
from perf_trace_context import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'perf_trace_context'
Error running python script ./perf-script.py
