This patch adds the required mechanic to quickly lookup the CPU number
associated with a traceID. That way the CPU that executed the code
conveyed by a decoded packet can be identified, without having to
do unecessary translations.
Using this new functionality the "cs-trace-disasm.py" script is
enhanced to output the file and CPU number the code has been
executed on:

This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time
spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds
(default) or microseconds (-u).
The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further
decompose by each compaction entry/exit.
For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the
options:
-t report only timing
-m report migration stats
-ms report migration scanner stats
-fs report free scanner stats
The default is to report all.
Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex).
The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The
most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of
uptime that has fragmented memory.
This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from
mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4
separate threads

Add a script to produce a call-graph from data exported to a postgresql
database and derived from a processor trace event like intel_pt or intel_bts.
Refer to comments in the scripts call-graph-from-postgresql.py and
export-to-postgresql.py for more details on how to set up the environment,
install the required packages, etc.
Committer note:
From the scripts, for convenience while reading 'git log':

[ Added 'python-pyside qt-postgresql' to the yum cmdline installing required packages ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Add a Python script to export to a postgresql database.
The script requires the Python pyside module and the Qt PostgreSQL
driver. The packages needed are probably named "python-pyside" and
"libqt4-sql-psql"
The caller of the script must be able to create postgresql databases.
The script takes the database name as a parameter. The database and
database tables are created. Data is written to flat files which are
then imported using SQL COPY FROM.
Example:
$ perf record ls
...
$ perf script report export-to-postgresql lsdb

My notes (which may be out-of-date) on setting up postgresql so you can
create databases:
fedora:
$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server python-pyside qt-postgresql
$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
$ sudo service postgresql start
$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser -s <your username>
I used the the unix user name in createuser.
If it fails, try createuser without -s and answer the following question
to allow your user to create tables:
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser <your username>
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
You may want to disable automatic startup. One way is to edit
/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/start.conf. Another is to disable the init
script e.g. sudo update-rc.d postgresql disable

The comparison between traced and symbol addresses is backwards: if
the traced address doesn't exactly match a symbol (which we don't
expect it to), we'll show the next symbol and the offset to it,
whereas we should show the previous symbol and the offset from it.

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script,
the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of
events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the
basic information of the events and analyze them.
This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them
into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to
sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions
according to their specific requirment.
Here is the sample of how to use the script:
$ perf record -a tree
$ perf script -s process_event.py
There is 100 records in gen_events table

A while back I created the dropmonitor protocol, which allowed users to get
reports of dropped frames communicated to them via a netlink socket.
While useful, several people have now asked that I integrate the ability
to do drop monitoring with perf, so they don't have to run additional
tools.
This patch adds a drop monitor script to the perf suite, and provides
the same output that the netlink socket does.
