Add support for parsing an optional layout parameter in the --symfs
command line option. The format is:
--symfs <directory[,layout]>
Where layout can be:
- 'hierarchy': matches full path (default)
- 'flat': only matches base name
When debugging symbol files from a copy of the filesystem (e.g., from a
container or remote machine), the debug files are often stored in a
flat directory structure with only filenames, not the full original
paths. In this case, using 'flat' layout allows perf to find debug
symbols by matching only the filename rather than the full path.
For example, given a binary path like:
/build/output/lib/foo.so
With 'perf report --symfs /debug/files,flat', perf will look for:
/debug/files/foo.so
Instead of:
/debug/files/build/output/lib/foo.so
This is particularly useful when:
- Extracting debug files from containers with different directory layouts
- Working with build systems that flatten directory structures

they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the

With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.

There's no field for the cgroup, let's add one. To do that, users need to
specify --all-cgroup option for perf record to capture the cgroup info.
$ perf record --all-cgroups -- true
$ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup

If it's recorded without the --all-cgroups, it'd complain.

When analyzing with 'perf script', it's useful to understand the
captured instruction and the next sequential instruction.
To calculate the address of the next sequential instruction, the length
of the captured instruction is required.
For example, you can’t know the next sequential instruction after an
unconditional branch unless you calculate that based on its length.
For branch stacks, 'perf script' only prints the instruction bytes with
'brstackinsn', but lacks the instruction length.
Add 'brstackinsnlen' to print the instruction length.
$ perf script -F ip,brstackinsn,brstackinsnlen --xed

The instruction latency information can be recorded on
some platforms, e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory
latency (weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can
easily locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.
Add a new field "ins_lat" to filter the instruction latency information,
which is available with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.

'perf script' supports '-S' or '--symbol' options to only list the
records for these symbols. A symbol is typically a name or hex address.
If it's hex address, it is the start address of one symbol.
While it would be useful if we can filter trace records by any hex
address (not only the start address of symbol). So now we support
filtering trace records by more conditions, such as:
- symbol name
- start address of symbol
- any hexadecimal address
- address range
The comparison order is defined as:
1. symbol name comparison
2. symbol start address comparison.
3. any hexadecimal address comparison.
4. address range comparison.
The idea is if we can get a valid address from -S list, we add the
address to addr_list for address comparison otherwise we still leave
it to sym_list for symbol comparison.
Some examples:

When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to
work with the full perf time stamps.
Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace
start to make it easier to read the traces.
Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this
case.

Committer notes:
Do not use 'time' as the name of a variable, as this breaks the build on
older glibcs:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-script.c: In function 'perf_sample__fprintf_start':
builtin-script.c:691: warning: declaration of 'time' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/time.h:187: warning: shadowed declaration is here

Add support to add/remove fields for specific event types in -F option.
It's now possible to use '+-' after event type, like:
# cat > test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello world\n");
while(1) {}
}
^D
# gcc -g -o test test.c
# perf probe -x test 'test.c:5'
# perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test
...
# perf script -Ftrace:+period,-cpu
test 3859 396291.117343: 10275 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: 7f..
test 3859 396291.118234: 11041 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..
test 3859 396291.118234: 1 probe_test:main:
test 3859 396291.118248: 8668 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..
test 3859 396291.118263: 10139 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..
Committer testing:
Couldn't make the test above work, but tested it with:
# perf probe -x hello main
Added new event:
probe_hello:main (on main in /home/acme/c/hello)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_hello:main -aR sleep 1
# perf record -e probe_hello:main ./hello
hello, world
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.025 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
# perf script
hello 21454 [002] 254116.874005: probe_hello:main: (401126)
#
# perf script -Ftrace:+period,-cpu
hello 21454 254116.874005: 1 probe_hello:main: (401126)

When looking at PT or brstackinsn traces with 'perf script' it can be
very useful to see the source code. This adds a simple facility to print
them with 'perf script', if the information is available through dwarf
% perf record ...

Not supported for callchains currently, would need some layout changes
there.
Committer notes:
Fixed the build on Alpine Linux (3.4 .. 3.8) by addressing this
