Hi Frederic, David,

This patch series adds the functions to analyze BTS logs to perf-script and,
makes perf-script more informative version 4.
The patches add the following functions.
 - Unify the expression to "[unknown]"
 - Fix BTS record header to resolve DSOs and symbols of user-space
 - Resolve DSOs and symbols for BTS's branch_from addresses
 - Show the offset of symbols with the 'offs' field specifier.
 - Resolve the real path of [kernel.kallsym] using
   '--show-kernel-path' option.

Usage:
First, get the BTS log with the following command.
# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d <command>

Second, analyze that trace data.
# perf script -f ip,addr,sym,offs,dso [--show-kernel-path]
This command's output format is:
<branch_to addr> <branch_to function+offset> <branch_to DSO> <branch_from addr> <branch_from function+offset> <branch_from DSO>

Output sample:
# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls
[snip]
# perf script -f ip,addr,sym,dso,offs --show-kernel-path
[snip]

[snip]

It shows the tracee application's execution path.


TODO:
 - add source code path field, line number field ...etc.
 - add record/report script to use easily and, show human-friendly output.
 - filtering kernel functions using scripts

Changes in v4:
 - add check routine to set correct perf_sample's header.

Changes in v3:
 - remove the bug fix patch already fixed.
 - unify the "[unknown]" expressions in perf-script.
 - fix perf_event_header of BTS events.
 - fix patch's descriptions

Changes in v2:
 - add a bug fix patch that prints correct IP address
 - output the magic word "(unknown)" as symbol name when perf-script can't
   resolve symbols.
 - output "[unknown]" as DSO name when perf-script can't resolve DSO path.
 - change the way to output offset of symbols from '--show-symbol-offset' to
   'offs' field.
 - clean up codes.

Thanks,

---

      perf script: add option resolving vmlinux path
      perf script: add the offset field specifier
      perf script: enhance IP and ADDR correlate detection for BTS
      perf: set correct value to perf_event_header.misc for BTS
      perf-script: unify the expressions indicate "unknown"
