[PATCH RFC 2/2] perf: convert: fix duplicate field names and avoid reserved keywords.
(If Steven Rostedt accept the previous patch which introduce a priv
field to 'struct format_field', we can use a relative simple method
for name conversion. If not , perf must track name conversion by
itself.)

Some parameters of syscall tracepoints named as 'nr', 'event', etc.
When dealing with them, perf convert to ctf meets some problem:

1. If a parameter with name 'nr', it will duplicate syscall's
common field 'nr'. One such syscall is io_submit().

2. If a parameter with name 'event', it is denied to be inserted
because 'event' is a babeltrace keywork. One such syscall is
epoll_ctl.

This patch appends '_dupl_X' suffix to avoid problem 1, prepend a '_'
prefix to avoid problem 2.

I've got compilation error:

what's your gcc version? mine's caught that..

if we allow for _dupl_10, should we use 'sizeof("_dupl_x")' ^^^ in here?

so there's no other way on checking up with the blacklist right?

I also curious why you got so many Werror problems I'm not ever seen,
until I found a '-w' in my gcc options, which is introduced by your commit

47810c1d429bc690e1f5e9467697538921962171: perf data: Disable Werror convert object.

I'll revert that commit in my tree.

AFAIK there's no official method to check blacklist right now. Utilizing existing
functions to check blacklist is possible. For example, we can create a clock using
bt_ctf_clock_create() with the checked name and then free it. However, it is hacky
and I think you won't like it.

I believe my solution should be acceptable before babeltrace export its
validate_identifier() function to users. Jérémie Galarneau, do you have better
idea on it?

Thanks.

We don't allow _dupl_10. If dup is 10 or larger (see above two if clause), this function will
return NULL.

that one was to workaround the regression in babeltrace,
I'm now using sane babeltrace HEAD as advertized by Jeremie:

"In the meantime, testing against Babeltrace master 3baf0856 should be alright."

The prospect of seeing that code has convinced me to introduce
int bt_ctf_validate_identifier(const char *identifier);

commit 654c1444b546fd79b209288b93ed4e87d9bb8a2b
Author: Jérémie Galarneau <jeremie.galarneau@efficios.com>
Date: Fri Jan 23 16:24:52 2015 -0500

Add utility function to validate CTF identifiers

Introduces bt_ctf_validate_identifier() which validates a given
identifier against the list of CTF reserved keywords.

This function may evolve to perform additional validity checks in
the future as the CTF specification moves forward.

Does that take care of the problem?

Hi all,

I posted a new series of patches for this problem. I open another thread to avoid
disorder this thread. Please see:
