[RFC 0/4] perf tools: Remove event types data

[RFC 0/4] perf tools: Remove event types data

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
following up on the 'perf timechart' FIXME note and changing
its tracepoint match not to use event types data.

In my tests the old and new timechart outputs look the same,
so.. any other tester would be appreciated ;-)

Also as this was the only user of the event types data
the rest of the patchset is removing it out of the perf.

The event types data are referenced from the perf data
file header. The reference (offset & size) stays in the
header with 0s.

Also the event types data is already duplicated via the
event_desc FEATURE, so there's no information loss.

thanks for comments,
jirka

[PATCH 1/4] perf tools: Remove event types framework only user

[Jiri Olsa]

The only user of the event types data is 'perf timechart'
command and uses this info to identify proper tracepoints
based on its name.

Switching this code to use traceevent library API to obtain
IDs for needed tracepoints. This should also make the samples
processing faster as we no longer compare strings but numbers.

A better way I think is using tracepoint handlers.  You don't need to
compare anything this way since an evsel can know its handler.

Please see perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers() and builtin-
{kmem,lock,sched}.c.

Why did you remove this part?  Isn't it used by elsewhere?  Anyway, it
seems unrelated to this change.

No.  You need to access to tracepoints in the perf session data, not
ones in the current system.  The perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers()
deals with it correctly.

it's now defined in <traceevent/event-parse.h>
leftover from some earlier change I guess

[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Remove event types from perf data file

[Jiri Olsa]

Removing event types data storing/reading to/from perf
data file as it's no longer needed. The only user of
this data 'perf timechart' is switched to use traceevent
library.

The event_types offset and size stays in the perf data
file header but are ignored from now on.

[PATCH 4/4] perf tools: Remove event types framework completely

[Jiri Olsa]

Removing event types framework completely. The only remainder
(apart from few comments) is following enum:

  enum perf_user_event_type {
    ...
    PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE           = 65, /* depreceated */
    ...
  }

It's kept as depreceated, resulting in error when processed
in perf_session__process_user_event function.

Looks sane and pretty straight forward.
Still I am not that deep involved in perf to give a Reviewed-by: quickly...

#define SUPPORT_OLD_POWER_EVENTS
could also vanish, maybe with the next round.

thanks, I saw your name in changelog.. wanted to include
someone who probably uses timechart command ;-)

In such cases an "Acked-by:" seems adequate enough, right? I'm merging
this now, so will not add it, but please let us know if that would be
ok, I may go thru some rebase and then would add that line.

I generally agree on removing the event_types but have a couple of
issues on patch 1.  Please see my comments on it.
