Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] perf script: Add general event support to event handler of python script
Date
Hi Arnaldo and all,

Current python script can only handle trace point type of events, this
patch serie try to follow Robert Richter's idea in commit 37a058ea0
"perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events"
to similarly add a python handler for general events other than
tracepoints.

The first 3 patches have been reviewed and modified several times,
and 1/2 have your signed-off, Could you consider to pick them up?
I've have rebased them on top of you perf/core branch with top
commit 9782243.

Also in v4, we added 2 RFC python scripts: EventClass.py as a libary and
process_event.py as a sample to show to handle the general events.

Here is a sample output of using the 2 scripts:

feng@feng-i7:/dev/shm$perf record -a tree
feng@feng-i7:/dev/shm$perf script -s process_event.py

---------------------------------
There is 67 records in gen_events table
Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso:

Please help to revew, thanks.

Change logs:
Since v4:
* rebased with Arnaldo's git perf/core branch on top of
commmit 9782243

Since v3:
* Add 2 RFC scripts: EventClass.py and process_event.py
* Rebased upon 3.5-rc4 d1346a6
* Add a check for whether the dso info exist

Since v2:
* Correct some __unused usage
* Add a new parameter: event name to event handler

Since v1:
* Use dictory as the paramter passwd from c to python
* Use "process_event" name to comply with perl
