Subject: [RFC 00/47] perf stat: Add scripting support

hi,
sending RFC on another attempt for stat scripting.

The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed
triggering user's script on the end of the stat command:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2

This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language
and rather adds support to:
  - store stat data into perf.data file
  - add python support to process stat events

Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and
post process it with python scripts in a similar way we
do for sampling data.

Examples:

 To record data for command stat workload:
  $ perf stat record kill
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'kill':

The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
  stat        - stored for each read syscall of the counter
  stat round  - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
  stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
                so report tool could restore the same output as record

The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data. See
CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py.

Also available in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/stat_script


This patchset still has MANY rough edges and loose ends,
but I think it's better approach than to define our own
formula scripting language.

The patchset is growing and there's still a long way to go,
so I'd like to hear some opinions before I go further ;-)


thanks for comments,
