perf trace: Hook the 'vec' tracepoint argument with the x86 IRQ vectors scnprintf/strtoul
Ended up only being useful when filtering multiple irq_vectors
tracepoints, as we end up having a tracepoint for each of the entries,
i.e.:
This will always come with the "RESCHEDULE_VECTOR" in the 'vector' arg:
# perf trace --max-events 8 -e irq_vectors:reschedule*
0.000 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.004 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.553 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.556 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.182 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.185 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.203 :29052/29052 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.206 :29052/29052 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
#
While filtering that value will produce nothing:
# perf trace --max-events 8 -e irq_vectors:reschedule* --filter="vector != RESCHEDULE"
^C#
Maybe it'll be useful for those other tracepoints:
# perf list irq_vectors:vector_*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
irq_vectors:vector_activate [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_alloc [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_alloc_managed [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_clear [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_config [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_deactivate [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_free_moved [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_reserve [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_reserve_managed [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_setup [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_teardown [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_update [Tracepoint event]
#
But since we have it done, keep it.
This at least served to teach me that all those irq vectors have a entry
and an exit tracepoint that I can then use just like with
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}, i.e. pair them, use just a
trace__irq_vectors_entry() + trace__irq_vectors_exit() and use the
'vector' arg as I use the 'syscall id' one for syscalls.
Then the default for 'perf trace' will include irq_vectors in addition
to syscalls.
