Subject: [PATCH -tip  0/4] perf script: add BTS analysis features

Hi Frederic, David,

This patch series adds the functions to analyze BTS logs to perf-script and,
makes perf-script more informative.
The patches add the following functions.
 - Resolve DSOs and symbols for BTS's branch_from addresses
 - Resolve DSOs and symbols for user-space address
 - Show the offset of symbols with '--show-symbol-offset' option.
 - Resolve the real path of [kernel.kallsym] using
   '--show-kernel-path' option.

Usage:
First, we get the BTS log with the following command.
# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d <command>

Second, analyze it.
# perf script -f ip,addr,sym,dso [--show-symbol-offset] [--show-kernel-path]
This command's output format is:
<branch_to addr> <branch_to function(+offset)> <branch_to DSO> <branch_from addr> <branch_from function(+offset)> <branch_from DSO>

Output sample:
# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls
[snip]
# perf script -f ip,addr,sym,dso --show-symbol-offset --show-kernel-path

TODO:
 - add source code path field, line number field ...etc.
 - add record/report script to use easily and, show human-friendly output.
 - filtering kernel functions using scripts


BTW, I couldn't run a script generated by 'perf script -g {pyton|perl}'
with branch events. How do I make scripts analyzing branch events?

# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls
# perf script -g python
# perf script -s perf-script.py
 in trace_begin
   Fatal: no event_list!
# perf script -g perl
# perf script -s perf-script.pl
   Fatal: no event_list!

Thanks,
