[PATCH v5 2/2] perf scripts python: Support Arm CoreSight trace data disassembly

From: Leo Yan
Date: Sun May 15 2022 - 03:19:34 EST


This commit adds python script to parse CoreSight tracing event and
print out source line and disassembly, it generates readable program
execution flow for easier humans inspecting.

The script receives CoreSight tracing packet with below format:

+------------+------------+------------+
packet(n): | addr | ip | cpu |
+------------+------------+------------+
packet(n+1): | addr | ip | cpu |
+------------+------------+------------+

packet::addr presents the start address of the coming branch sample, and
packet::ip is the last address of the branch smple. Therefore, a code
section between branches starts from packet(n)::addr and it stops at
packet(n+1)::ip. As results we combines the two continuous packets to
generate the address range for instructions:

[ sample(n)::addr .. sample(n+1)::ip ]

The script supports both objdump or llvm-objdump for disassembly with
specifying option '-d'. If doesn't specify option '-d', the script
simply outputs source lines and symbols.

Below shows usages with llvm-objdump or objdump to output disassembly.
