perf python: Port export-to-postgresql to perf module
Port export-to-postgresql.py to a standalone script in
tools/perf/python/ using the perf module and libpq via ctypes.
Improvements compared to the legacy script:
- Remove the dependency on PySide/QtSql for database creation and DDL
execution by driving libpq directly via ctypes (PQconnectdb, PQexec,
PQputCopyData, PQputCopyEnd) and streaming binary PostgreSQL COPY
files in PostgresExporter, enabling export on headless servers without
Qt installed.
- Harden database connection and SQL identifier handling by rejecting
URI ('://') and connection-parameter ('=') injection strings in
setup_db() and connect(), escaping single quotes and backslashes in
connection strings, and quoting SQL identifiers (quote_ident).
- Support Intel PT and instruction trace export via
perf.session(itrace=...) and perf.call_return callbacks, reconstructing
relational call_paths and calls tables (including id=0 placeholder
rows and callfk/returnfk foreign keys) and unpacking synthesized PT
payloads (ptwrite, cbr, mwait, pwre, exstop, pwrx).
- Use a dedicated context_switch ID counter so context-switch exports
do not advance sample database IDs out of sync with call_return
references.
Update Documentation/db-export.txt and add a shell test
(test_export_to_postgresql_python.sh) to verify the standalone exporter.
