    Subject[PATCH RFC 00/11] perf script: Add API for filtering via dynamically loaded shared object
    Date
    Hi

    In some cases, users want to filter very large amounts of data (e.g. from
    AUX area tracing like Intel PT) looking for something specific. While
    scripting such as Python can be used, Python is 10 to 20 times slower than
    C. So define a C API so that custom filters can be written and loaded.

    There are 3 preparation patches. The main patch is patch 4.

    The other patches add more functionality, except for patch 6 which installs
    the C API header file.


    Adrian Hunter (11):
    perf script: Move filter_cpu() earlier
    perf script: Move filtering before scripting
    perf script: Share addr_al between functions
    perf script: Add API for filtering via dynamically loaded shared object
    perf script: Add dlfilter__filter_event_early()
    perf build: Install perf_dlfilter.h
    perf dlfilter: Add resolve_address() to perf_dlfilter_fns
    perf dlfilter: Add insn() to perf_dlfilter_fns
    perf dlfilter: Add srcline() to perf_dlfilter_fns
    perf dlfilter: Add attr() to perf_dlfilter_fns
    perf dlfilter: Add object_code() to perf_dlfilter_fns
