Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] JSON output for perf stat
Date: Tue, 17 May 2022 14:59:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220517215917.692906-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

Parsing the CSV or text output of perf stat can be problematic when
new output is added (columns in CSV format). JSON names values and
simplifies the job of parsing. Add a JSON output option to perf-stat
then add unit test that parses and validates the output.

This is a resend of two v2 patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210813220754.2104922-1-cjense@google.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210813220936.2105426-1-cjense@google.com/
with a few formatting changes and improvements to the linter.

The CSV test/linter is also added to ensure that CSV output doesn't regress:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210813192108.2087512-1-cjense@google.com/

v3. There is some tidy up of CSV code including a potential memory
    over run in the os.nfields set up caught by sanitizers. To
    facilitate this an AGGR_MAX value is added. v3 also adds the CSV
    testing.

v2. Fixes the system wide no aggregation test to not run if the
    paranoia is wrong. It also makes the counter-value check handle
    the "<not counted>" and "<not supported>" cases.

Claire Jensen (3):
  perf test: Add checking for perf stat CSV output.
  perf stat: Add JSON output option
  perf test: Json format checking
