2009-12-07perf trace/scripting: Don't display 'scripting unsupported' msg unnecessarilyTom Zanussi
The 'scripting unsupported' message should only be displayed when the -s or -g options are used, and not when they aren't, as the current code does.

2009-12-07perf trace/scripting: Fix compile error when libperl not installedTom Zanussi
When I added the xs callbacks into perf, I forgot to re-check the no-libperl case. This patch fixes the undefined reference error for that.

2009-11-30perf trace/scripting: Add Fedora libperl install note to docTom Zanussi
Fedora needs perl-ExtUtils-Embed for Perl scripting, which also brings along libperl-devel; note this info for the convenience of Fedora users.

2009-11-30perf trace/scripting: Fix Perl common_* access functionsTom Zanussi
The common_* functions (e.g. common_pc(), etc) are exported as common_* but named get_common_*, resulting in unresolved subroutine errors when executing scripts. Make the internal and external names match.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlersTom Zanussi
The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. To give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event fields not passed to handler functions. Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access fields for the current event by calling back into perf: common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Support for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.

2009-11-28perf trace: Add Perl scripting supportTom Zanussi
Implement trace_scripting_ops to make Perl a supported perf trace scripting language. Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access the 'flag' and 'symbolic' (__print_flags(), __print_symbolic()) field information parsed from the trace format files. Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script() trace_scripting_op, which creates a ready-to-run perf trace Perl script based on existing trace data. Scripts generated by this implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled', 'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers. Script authors can simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom event handling.
