Subject: [PATCH v7 00/10] perf record --off-cpu: Dump off-cpu samples directly
Changes in v7:
- Make off-cpu event system-wide
- Use strtoull instead of strtoul
- Delete unused variable such as sample_id, and sample_type
- Use i as index to update BPF perf_event map
- MAX_OFFCPU_LEN 128 is too big, make it smaller.
- Delete some bound check as it's always guaranteed
- Do not set ip_pos in BPF
- Add a new field for storing stack traces in the tstamp map
- Dump the off-cpu sample directly or save it in the off_cpu map, not both
- Delete the sample_type_off_cpu check
- Use __set_off_cpu_sample() to parse samples instead of a two-pass parsing
Changes in v6:
- Make patches bisectable
Changes in v5:
- Delete unnecessary copy in BPF program
- Remove sample_embed from perf header, hard code off-cpu stuff instead
- Move evsel__is_offcpu_event() to evsel.h
- Minor changes to the test
- Edit some comments
Changes in v4:
- Minimize the size of data output by perf_event_output()
- Keep only one off-cpu event
- Change off-cpu threshold's unit to microseconds
- Set a default off-cpu threshold
- Print the correct error message for the field 'embed' in perf data header
Changes in v3:
- Add off-cpu-thresh argument
- Process direct off-cpu samples in post
Changes in v2:
- Remove unnecessary comments.
- Rename function off_cpu_change_type to off_cpu_prepare_parse
v1:
As mentioned in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207323
Currently, off-cpu samples are dumped when perf record is exiting. This
results in off-cpu samples being after the regular samples. This patch
series makes possible dumping off-cpu samples on-the-fly, directly into
perf ring buffer. And it dispatches those samples to the correct format
for perf.data consumers.
