| * kprobetrace, doc: Add the explanation to remove probe pointsMotohiro KOSAKI2010-01-201-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Latest kprobetrace can remove probe points selectively, thus the documentation should be updated too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop function argument access syntax, because the function arguments depend on not only architecture but also compile-options and function API.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the syscall table) to asm/syscall.h. New arch ports don't have to waste time copying & pasting this simple function. The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer. This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe. The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and also available from perf probe. ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable named rv in a probed function.

While there is a binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer, so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be tracked via "perf". This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer; its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

* tracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph tracesJosh Triplett2009-08-261-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with braces denoting the start and end of functions. function-graph-fold.vim teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to browse them. To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it from the command-line together with a trace. You can then use the usual vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions. While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would normally appear on the line with the closing brace. Folded functions will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain relatively sane even through a context switch. Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1). It also takes some time to run (a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop). Nevertheless, I found it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on problematic calls.
