[PATCHv6 0/7] perf tools: Add perf data CTF conversion
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Sat Apr 18 2015 - 11:50:51 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.
v6 changes:
- first bunch of patches got accepted, adding the
rest plus additional fixes
- rebased to latest acme's perf/core
- removed acked/reviewed tags from patch 2, due to small
change - changed ctf_writer__flush_streams to return
error value
- it all works with recent tracecompass and libbabeltrace git tree
- after recent changes in build system, it needs to be compiled with:
$ make LIBBABELTRACE=1 LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/opt/libbabeltrace/
this will change once new version libabeltrace is released
and adopted by common distros
v5 changes:
- added struct field_format::alias instead of priv void*
- rebased to latest acme's perf/core
v4 changes:
- sorted out babeltrace new code regressions
- rebased to latest acme's perf/core
- includes fixes from Wang Nan, patches 9/10/11
- patch 1/11 changelog updated with babeltrace
compilation instructions [Arnaldo]
v3 changes:
- rebased to latest acme's perf/core
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/

- 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 ;-)
