Hello,
I have been using IntelPT and perf-kvm to collect guest VM generated PT
packets from the host. I use the below command to record the IntelPT
traces :-
./perf kvm --guest -guestkallsyms=~/guest-kallsyms
-guestmodules=~/guest-modules -e intel_pt//
I am using the latest stable Linux kernel version that is 4.14.3 and I
am using an Ubuntu 17.04 machine running on architecture x86_64.
The above command works fine and is giving me the correct outputs as I
expect. Now I am trying to see the raw trace dump using perf script -D
./perf script -D -i perf.data.guest
I see all the event records and all their outputs correctly. But what I
wanted was to make perf script only display me the events corresponding
to IntelPT trace packets.
This means that I am especially not interested in events like
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK etc and even
PERF_RECORD_MMAP/PERF_RECORD_MMAP2. I only want perf script to display
me the raw trace packets under PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE.
There are obviously two cases here which I have so far considered but
have not been able to get anywhere :
1. I have tried making perf record stop recording events, which I do not
want like PERF_RECORD_MMAP, PERF_RECORD_FORK etc. I have been
unsuccessful and I also think this is not the right approach.
2. The other approach that I have tried is making perf script -D to not
print the MMAP and FORK events instead but keep recording them. I have
not been able to do this as I have not been able to trace back in the
linux-kernel code where the actual print is happening. This looks
correct and probably easier to achieve.
How can I achieve one of the two goals stated above ? How can I make
perf script dump me exactly what I want ?
Thanks and Regards,
Arnab
