From 7bb45972952db9298fe5cc440160dcad1a66bfbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kan Liang Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:26:23 -0800 Subject: perf mmap: Introduce perf_mmap__read_event() Except for 'perf record', the other perf tools read events one by one from the ring buffer using perf_mmap__read_forward(). But it only supports non-overwrite mode. Introduce perf_mmap__read_event() to support both non-overwrite and overwrite mode. Usage: perf_mmap__read_init() while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { //process the event perf_mmap__consume() } perf_mmap__read_done() It cannot use perf_mmap__read_backward(). Because it always reads the stale buffer which is already processed. Furthermore, the forward and backward concepts have been removed. The perf_mmap__read_backward() will be replaced and discarded later.
