perf scripts python: Add event_analyzing_sample.py as a sample for general event handling
Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script, the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the basic information of the events and analyze them. This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions according to their specific requirment. Here is the sample of how to use the script: $ perf record -a tree $ perf script -s process_event.py There is 100 records in gen_events table Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso: comm number histgram ========================================== swapper 56 ###### tree 20 ##### perf 10 #### sshd 8 #### kworker/7:2 4 ### ksoftirqd/7 1 # plugin-containe 1 # symbol number histgram ========================================================== native_write_msr_safe 40 ###### __lock_acquire 8 #### ftrace_graph_caller 4 ### prepare_ftrace_return 4 ### intel_idle 3 ## native_sched_clock 3 ## Unknown_symbol 2 ## do_softirq 2 ## lock_release 2 ## lock_release_holdtime 2 ## trace_graph_entry 2 ## _IO_putc 1 # __d_lookup_rcu 1 # __do_fault 1 # __schedule 1 # _raw_spin_lock 1 # delay_tsc 1 # generic_exec_single 1 # generic_fillattr 1 # dso number histgram ================================================================== [kernel.kallsyms] 95 ####### /lib/libc-2.12.1.so 5 ### Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344419875-21665-6-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

+# Current perf report is alreay very powerful with the anotation integrated,
+# and this script is not trying to be as powerful as perf report, but
+# providing end user/developer a flexible way to analyze the events other
+# than trace points.
+#
+# The 2 database related functions in this script just show how to gather
+# the basic information, and users can modify and write their own functions
+# according to their specific requirment.
+#
+# The first sample "show_general_events" just does a baisc grouping for all
+# generic events with the help of sqlite, and the 2nd one "show_pebs_ll" is
+# for a x86 HW PMU event: PEBS with load latency data.
