The export does not work if only branches are exported because of a
missing column in the samples table. Fix by adding the missing
call_path_id.

Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced
callchain export.
callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now
be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option
is used with the script.
Ex.:
$ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains
Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export
APIs:
- Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable
callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global
- Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation
and population.
- Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API
example usage and output using a small test app:
test_app.c:
volatile int x = 0;
void inc_x_loop()
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
x++;
}
void a()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
void b()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
int main()
{
a();
b();
return 0;
}
example usage:
$ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ]
$ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py
example_db all callchains
$ psql example_db
example_db=#
SELECT
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol,
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id =
(SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id))
as parent_symbol,
sum(period) as event_count
FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id
GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id
ORDER BY event_count DESC
LIMIT 5;
symbol | parent_symbol | event_count
------------------+--------------------------+-------------
inc_x_loop | a | 734250982
inc_x_loop | b | 731028057
unknown | unknown | 1335858
task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842
update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373
(5 rows)
The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was
sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two
ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common
table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a
function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

The current instructions for setting up an Ubuntu system for using the
export-to-postgresql.py script are incorrect.
The instructions in the script have been updated to work on newer
versions of ubuntu.
-Add missing dependencies to apt-get command:
python-pyside.qtsql, libqt4-sql-psql
-Add '-s' option to createuser command to force the user to be a
superuser since the command doesn't prompt as indicated in the
current instructions.
Tested on: Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04(beta)

Add a script to produce a call-graph from data exported to a postgresql
database and derived from a processor trace event like intel_pt or intel_bts.
Refer to comments in the scripts call-graph-from-postgresql.py and
export-to-postgresql.py for more details on how to set up the environment,
install the required packages, etc.
Committer note:
From the scripts, for convenience while reading 'git log':
An example of using this script with Intel PT:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls

Add a Python script to export to a postgresql database.
The script requires the Python pyside module and the Qt PostgreSQL
driver. The packages needed are probably named "python-pyside" and
"libqt4-sql-psql"
The caller of the script must be able to create postgresql databases.
The script takes the database name as a parameter. The database and
database tables are created. Data is written to flat files which are
then imported using SQL COPY FROM.
Example:
$ perf record ls
...
$ perf script report export-to-postgresql lsdb

My notes (which may be out-of-date) on setting up postgresql so you can
create databases:
fedora:
$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server python-pyside qt-postgresql
$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
$ sudo service postgresql start
$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser -s <your username>
I used the the unix user name in createuser.
If it fails, try createuser without -s and answer the following question
to allow your user to create tables:
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser <your username>
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
You may want to disable automatic startup. One way is to edit
/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/start.conf. Another is to disable the init
script e.g. sudo update-rc.d postgresql disable
