#!/bin/bash
#
# pkgsplit-perf.sh	Split IP samples on package names "/", eg, Java.
#
# This is for the creation of Java package flame graphs. Example steps:
#
# perf record -F 199 -a -- sleep 30; ./jmaps
# perf script | ./pkgsplit-perf.sh | ./flamegraph.pl > out.svg
#
# Note that stack traces are not sampled (no -g), as we split Java package
# names into frames rather than stack frames.
#
# (jmaps is a helper script for automating perf-map-agent: Java symbol dumps.)
#
# The default output of "perf script" varies between kernel versions, so we'll
# need to deal with that here. I could make people use the perf script option
# to pick fields, so our input is static, but A) I prefer the simplicity of
# just saying: run "perf script", and B) the option to choose fields itself
# changed between kernel versions! -f became -F.
#
# TODO: I've made this a shell script (rather than #!/usr/bin/awk -f) so
# that we can add some options and option processing if need be.
