Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events (ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed: python2{,-config} Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit, the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations without the need for updating any PATH variable. This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG either as environment variables or as make variables on the command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly. Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables. In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later usage can reset a prior request. e.g., -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is given to the user: "Overriding previous field request for all events." Alternativey, consider the order: -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace: The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given fields. For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that type. For example: perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring. 'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring. Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an error. For example: perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less 'trace' not valid for software events. At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits. Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types. i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

| |/ / |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In hists browser, press hotkey 'a' to annotate current symbol. Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol. Here are 2 small bugs: - In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map. - In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not before getting annotation structure. This patch fixes above 2 small bugs.

This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new rules to get correct line number. - If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless. - If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset from the function entry. - If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should be 0). - If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the inline function call line number as the line on which the address is. - If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the (non-inlined) function.
