Subject: [PATCHv8 0/8] perf stat: Add scripting support

hi,
sending another version of stat scripting.

v8 changes:
  - check for stat callbacks properly [Namhyung]
  - used '#!/usr/bin/env python' for stat-cpi.py [Namhyung]
  - used tuple_set_u64 for storing u64 into python tuple [Namhyung]

v7 changes:
  - perf stat record/report patches already taken,
    posting the rest of the scripting support
  - rebased to latest Arnaldo's perf/core

v6 changes:
  - several patches from v4 already taken
  - perf stat record can now place 'record' keyword
    anywhere within stat options
  - placed STAT feature checking earlier into record
    patches so commands processing perf.data recognize
    stat data and skip sample_type checking
  - rebased on Arnaldo's perf/stat
  - added Tested-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>

v5 changes:
  - several patches from v4 already taken
  - using u16 for cpu number in cpu_map_event
  - renamed PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR_UPDATE to PERF_RECORD_EVENT_UPDATE
  - moved low hanging fuits patches to the start of the patchset
  - patchset tested by Kan Liang, thanks!

v4 changes:
  - added attr update event for event's cpumask
  - forbig aggregation on task workloads
  - some minor reorders and changelog fixes

v3 changes:
  - added attr update event to handle unit,scale,name for event
    it fixed the uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ record/report
  - perf report -D now displays stat related events
  - some minor and changelog fixes

v2 changes:
  - rebased to latest Arnaldo's perf/core
  - patches 1 to 11 already merged in
  - added --per-core/--per-socket/-A options for perf stat report
    command to allow custom aggregation in stat report, please
    check new examples below
  - couple changelogs changes

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.

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

thanks,
jirka
