It can be convenient to put a string value into a ptwrite payload as
a quick and easy way to identify what is being printed.
To make that useful, if the Intel ptwrite payload value contains only
printable ASCII characters padded with NULLs, then print it also as a
string.
Using the example program from the "Emulated PTWRITE" section of
tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt:
$ echo -n "Hello" | od -t x8
0000000 0000006f6c6c6548
0000005
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./eg_ptw 0x0000006f6c6c6548
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --itrace=ew

We support short command 'rec*' for 'record' and 'rep*' for 'report' in
lots of sub-commands, but the matching is not quite strict currnetly.
It may be puzzling sometime, like we mis-type a 'recport' to report but
it will perform 'record' in fact without any message.
To fix this, add a check to ensure that the short cmd is valid prefix
of the real command.

When analyzing with 'perf script', it's useful to understand the
captured instruction and the next sequential instruction.
To calculate the address of the next sequential instruction, the length
of the captured instruction is required.
For example, you can’t know the next sequential instruction after an
unconditional branch unless you calculate that based on its length.
For branch stacks, 'perf script' only prints the instruction bytes with
'brstackinsn', but lacks the instruction length.
Add 'brstackinsnlen' to print the instruction length.
$ perf script -F ip,brstackinsn,brstackinsnlen --xed

The type info is saved when using '-j save_type'. Output this in 'perf
script' so it can be accessed by other tools or for debugging.
It's appended to the end of the list of fields so any existing tools
that split on / and access fields via an index are not affected. Also
output '-' instead of 'N/A' when the branch type isn't saved because /
is used as a field separator.
Entries before this change look like this:
0xaaaadb350838/0xaaaadb3507a4/P/-/-/0
And afterwards like this:
0xaaaadb350838/0xaaaadb3507a4/P/-/-/0/CALL
or this if no type info is saved:
0x7fb57586df6b/0x7fb5758731f0/P/-/-/143/-

In SPE traces the 'weight' field can't be printed in 'perf script'
because the 'dummy:u' event doesn't have the WEIGHT attribute set.
Use evsel__do_check_stype(..) to check this field, as it's done with
other fields such as "phys_addr".
Before:
$ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
$ perf script -F event,ip,weight
Samples for 'dummy:u' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot print 'weight' field.
After:
$ perf script -F event,ip,weight

Perf script was failed to print the phys_addr for SPE profiling.
One 'dummy' event is added by SPE profiling but it doesn't have PHYS_ADDR
attribute set, perf script then exits with error.
Now referring to 'addr', use evsel__do_check_stype() to check the type.
Before:
# perf record -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=0,ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=0,\
store_filter=0,min_latency=0,event_filter=2/ -p 4064384 -- sleep 3
# perf script -F pid,tid,addr,phys_addr
Samples for 'dummy:u' event do not have PHYS_ADDR attribute set. Cannot print 'phys_addr' field.
After:
# perf record -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=0,ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=0,\
store_filter=0,min_latency=0,event_filter=2/ -p 4064384 -- sleep 3

-F weight in perf script is broken.
# ./perf mem record
# ./perf script -F weight
Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot
print 'weight' field.
The sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. They share the same space, weight. The
lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample type. The higher 32
bits may be different for different architecture. For a new kernel on
x86, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT is used. For an old kernel or other
ARCHs, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is used.
With -F weight, current perf script will only check the input string
"weight" with the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Because the commit
ea8d0ed6ea ("perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT") didn't
update the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for perf script. For a
new kernel on x86, the check fails.
Use PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_TYPE, which supports both sample types, to
replace PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT

When perf.data is not written cleanly, we would like to process existing
data as much as possible (please see f_header.data.size == 0 condition
in perf_session__read_header). However, perf.data with partial data may
crash perf. Specifically, we see crash in 'perf script' for NULL
session->header.env.arch.
Fix this by checking session->header.env.arch before using it to determine
native_arch. Also split the if condition so it is easier to read.
Committer notes:
If it is a pipe, we already assume is a native arch, so no need to check
session->header.env.arch.
