perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add All branches report

2018-10-23T17:47:14+00:00

Add a report to display branches in a similar fashion to perf script. The main purpose of this report is to display disassembly, however, presently, the only supported disassembler is Intel XED, and additionally the object code must be present in perf build ID cache. To use Intel XED, libxed.so must be present. To build and install libxed.so: git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed cd xed ./mfile.py --share sudo ./mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install sudo ldconfig Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181023075949.18920-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add ability to display all the database tables

2018-10-23T17:39:18+00:00

Displaying all the database tables can help make the database easier to understand. Committer testing: Opened all the tables, even the sqlite master table, which I selected everything and used control+C, lets see if it works... CREATE VIEW threads_view AS SELECT id,machine_id,(SELECT host_or_guest FROM machines_view WHERE id = machine_id) AS host_or_guest,process_id,pid,tid FROM threads Humm, nope, just one of the cells got copied, even with everything selected :-) Anyway, works as advertised, useful for perusing the data.

perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add ability to shrink / enlarge font

2018-10-23T17:34:40+00:00

Shrinking the font allows more information to display. Committer testing: Works, tested with the convenient Control+Shift+'+' and Control+'-' as well with the more cumbersome top menu "Edit" + "Enlarge/Shrink font" options.

perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add ability to find symbols in the call-graph

2018-10-23T17:30:33+00:00

Add a Find bar that appears at the bottom of the call-graph window. Committer testing: Using: python tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py pt_example branches calls Using the database built in the first "Committer Testing" section in this patch series I was able to: "Reports" "Context-Sensitive Call Graphs" Control+F or select "Edit" in the top menu then "Find" __poll and find the first place where the "__poll" function appears, then press the down arrow in the lower right corner and go to the next, etc. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181001062853.28285-15-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add support for multiple sub-windows

2018-10-23T17:27:30+00:00

Use Qt MDI (multiple document interface) to support multiple sub-windows. Put the data model in a cache so that each sub-window can share the same data. This allows mutiple views of the call-graph at the same time and paves the way to add more reports. Committer testing: Starts with a "File Reports Windows" main menu, from the "Reports" I can get what was available up to now, the "Context-Sensitivi Call Graph" option.

perf scripts python: call-graph-from-sql.py: Rename to exported-sql-viewer.py

2018-10-23T17:26:44+00:00

Additional reports will be added to the script so rename to reflect the more general purpose. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181001062853.28285-13-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf scripts python: call-graph-from-sql.py: Refactor TreeItem class

2018-10-23T17:26:06+00:00

class TreeItem represents items at all levels of the call-graph tree. However, not all the levels represent the same data i.e. the top-level is comms, the next level is threads, and subsequent levels are functions. Consequently it is simpler to have separate classes for different levels with commonality in a base class. Refactor TreeItem class accordingly.

perf scripts python: call-graph-from-sql.py: Factor out CallGraphModel from TreeModel

perf scripts python: call-graph-from-sql.py: Remove use of setObjectName()
