This commit adds python script to parse CoreSight tracing event and
use command 'objdump' for disassembled lines, finally we can generate
readable program execution flow for reviewing tracing data.
The script receives CoreSight tracing packet with below format:
+------------+------------+------------+
packet(n): | addr | ip | cpu |
+------------+------------+------------+
packet(n+1): | addr | ip | cpu |
+------------+------------+------------+
packet::ip is the last address of current branch instruction and
packet::addr presents the start address of the next coming branch
instruction. So for one branch instruction which starts in packet(n),
its execution flow starts from packet(n)::addr and it stops at
packet(n+1)::ip. As results we need to combine the two continuous
packets to generate the instruction range, this is the rationale for the
script implementation:
[ sample(n)::addr .. sample(n+1)::ip ]
Credits to Tor Jeremiassen who have written the script skeleton and
provides the ideas for reading symbol file according to build-id,
creating memory map for dso and basic packet handling. Mathieu Poirier
contributed fixes for build-id and memory map bugs. The detailed
development history for this script you can find from [1]. Based on Tor
and Mathieu work, the script is updated samples handling for the
corrected sample format. Another minor enhancement is to support for
without build-id case, the script can parse kernel symbols with option
'-k' for vmlinux file path.
