[PATCH] perf tools: Add sample types for bpf-output event

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Apr 01 2016 - 09:27:40 EST


Before this patch we can see very large time in the events before
bpf-output event. For example:

# ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
--ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
usleep 10
...
18446744073709.551 (18446564645918.480 ms): usleep/4157 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd3f0dc4e0 ) ...
18446744073709.551 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
179427791.076 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
179427791.081 ( ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:4157 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120])
...

We can also see the differences between bpf-output events and
breakpoint events:

For bpf output event:
sample_type IP|TID|RAW|IDENTIFIER

For tracepoint events:
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER

This patch fix this differences by adding more sample type for
bpf-output events.

After this patch:

# ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
--ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
usleep 10
...
179877370.878 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/5336 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffff866c450 ) ...
179877370.878 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
179877370.878 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
179877370.882 ( ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:5336 [120] S ==> swapper/4:0 [120])
179877370.945 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
...

# ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
--ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
usleep 10 2>&1 | grep sample_type
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW

The 'IDENTIFIER' is not required because all events have the
same sample_type.
