[PATCH v1 00/11] Python improvements for a real use of parse_events

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Jan 09 2025 - 02:51:25 EST


While parse_events access in python was added, it wasn't used by any
python script. In enabling this for the tracepoint.py script a number
of latent bugs and necessary improvements were discovered.

Ian Rogers (11):
perf debug: Avoid stack overflow in recursive error message
perf evlist: Add success path to evlist__create_syswide_maps
perf evsel: tp_format accessing improvements
perf python: Add evlist enable and disable methods
perf python: Add member access to a number of evsel variables
perf python: Add optional cpus and threads arguments to parse_events
perf python: Update ungrouped evsel leader in clone
perf python: Avoid duplicated code in get_tracepoint_field
perf python: Add evlist all_cpus accessor
perf python: Add evlist.config to set up record options
perf python tracepoint: Switch to using parse_events
