Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the
instruction being executed for a particular ip sample. Some of that
information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct
perf_sample.
With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags
because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a
tranasaction.
Consequently add an option to display the flags.
The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace
begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.
Example using Intel PT:
perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for
consumption by other tools.
At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture
instruction trace (aka processor trace) data.
The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of
options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be
added as needed.

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.
The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.
This will work as follows:
1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).
2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.
3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().
Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.
This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.
Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.
Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

When converting int values, perf first extractes it to a ulonglong, then
feeds it to babeltrace as a signed value.
For negative 32 bit values (for example, return values of failed
syscalls), the extracted data should be something like 0xfffffffe (-2).
It becomes a large int64 value.
Babeltrace denies to insert it with bt_ctf_field_signed_integer_set_value()
because it is larger than 0x7fffffff, the largest positive value a
32 bit int can be.
This patch introduces adjust_signedness(), which fills high bits of
ulonglong with 1 if the value is negative.

Unfortunately there's no size indication in the stream object, so we

limit is set ot 100000 events.

Currently we store the data into single data strea/file. The cpu if data
is stored within the event sample. The lttng puts the CPU number that
belongs to the event into the packet context instead into the event.
This patch makes sure that the trace produce by perf does look the same
way. We now use one stream per-CPU. Having it all in one stream
increased the total size of the resulting file. The test went from
416KiB (with perf_cpu event member) to 24MiB due to the required (and
pointless) flush. With the per-cpu streams the total size went up to
588KiB.

There are missing curly braces which causes find_variable() return wrong
value when probing with global variables.
This problem can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -v --add='generic_perform_write global_variable_for_test'
...
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Probe point found: generic_perform_write+0
Searching 'global_variable_for_test' variable in context.
An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
After this patch:
$ perf probe -v --add='generic_perform_write global_variable_for_test'
...
Converting variable global_variable_for_test into trace event.
global_variable_for_test type is int.
Found 1 probe_trace_events.
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
Added new event:
Writing event: p:probe/generic_perform_write _stext+1237464
global_variable_for_test=@global_variable_for_test+0:s32
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write with
global_variable_for_test)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This update has mostly fixes, but also other bits:
- perf tooling fixes
- PMU driver fixes
- Intel Broadwell PMU driver HW-enablement for LBR callstacks
- a late coming 'perf kmem' tool update that enables it to also
analyze page allocation data. Note, this comes with MM tracepoint
changes that we believe to not break anything: because it changes
the formerly opaque 'struct page *' field that uniquely identifies
pages to 'pfn' which identifies pages uniquely too, but isn't as
opaque and can be used for other purposes as well"

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
[ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp

After this patch:

Added new event:

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():
memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));
In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.

Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.
perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union. To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.
- Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
unnamed member.
(note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
has the offset in the parent structure)
- Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
structure (one-by-one).
With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
-----
#./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
Added new event:
probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

As these can be obtained from the ordered_events pointer, via
container_of, reducing the cross section of ordered_samples.
These were added to ordered_samples in:
commit b7b61cbebd
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Mar 3 11:58:45 2015 -0300
perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures
By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events.
But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from
perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then,
as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the
nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in
ordered_samples.

Even when it is not used to actually reorder events, some of its fields
are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function
signatures where tool, for instance, was being passed, as the tool is
needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well
use it for other perf_session needs.
This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made
session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its
script->tool ordered_events related flags asking for it to be, which
looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further.
Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current
assumptions in place, so do it now.

As this commit breaks callchains on s390x (symbols not getting resolved,

Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
│The vmlinux file can't be used. │
│Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Now, it reports:
# perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
│Kernel samples will not be resolved. │
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.

Separate the dso object addition and update when adding new kernel
module.
Currently we update dso's symtab_type any time we find it in the list,
because we can't distinguish between new and found dso from
__dsos__findnew function.
Adding machine__module_dso that separates finding and adding new dso
objects, so there's no superfluous update of dso.

into several components.
The new kmod_path__parse function and few defines:
int __kmod_path__parse(struct kmod_path *m, const char *path,
bool alloc_name, bool alloc_ext);
#define kmod_path__parse(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, false)
#define kmod_path__parse_name(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, true , false)
#define kmod_path__parse_ext(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, true)
parse kernel module @path and updates @m argument like:
@comp - true if @path contains supported compression suffix,
false otherwise
@kmod - true if @path contains '.ko' suffix in right position,
false otherwise
@name - if (@alloc_name && @kmod) is true, it contains strdup-ed base name
of the kernel module without suffixes, otherwise strudup-ed
base name of @path
@ext - if (@alloc_ext && @comp) is true, it contains strdup-ed string
the compression suffix
It returns 0 if there's no strdup error, -ENOMEM otherwise.

Perf tries to find probe function addresses from map when debuginfo
could not be found.
To the first added function, the value of ref_reloc_sym was set in
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and can be obtained from
host_machine->kmaps->maps. After that, new maps are added to
host_machine->kmaps->maps in dso__load_kcore(), all these new added maps
do not have a valid ref_reloc_sym.
When adding a second function, get_target_map() may get a map without
valid ref_reloc_sym, and raise the error "Relocated base symbol is not
found".
Fix this by using kernel_get_ref_reloc_sym() to get ref_reloc_sym.
This problem can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Relocated base symbol is not found!
Error: Failed to add events.
After this patch:
$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Added new event:
probe:sys_write (on sys_write)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1
Added new event:
probe:sys_open (on sys_open)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_open -aR sleep 1

Commit f1f13af99a ("perf callchain: Cache eh/debug frame offset for
dwarf unwind") introduces a cache for .debug_frame and .eh_frame_hdr.
Unfortunately, it makes them share a same cache (dso->frame_offset).
Which causes unwind failure on ARM:
$ perf test unwind
Test dwarf unwind: FAILED!
The reason is that, if a dso has '.debug_frame' but doesn't have
'.eh_frame_hdr' (like ARM), dso->frame_offset will be filled by offset
of '.debug_frame' during the first time calling of find_proc_info() ->
read_unwind_spec_debug_frame(), and be regarded to '.eh_frame_hdr' when
the second time calling of find_proc_info() ->
read_unwind_spec_eh_frame(), since '.eh_frame_hdr' is checked prior to
'.debug_frame'.
This patch solves the problem by creating two cache fields for
'.eh_frame_hdr' and '.debug_frame'.

This change will result in duplicate probes when strong and weak symbols
co-exist in a binary. But I think it's not a big problem since probes
at the weak symbol will never be hit anyway.

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it
sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso.
When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one
symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be
better to keep all names (including aliases).
So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via
symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

Fix perf probe to handle aliased symbols correctly in glibc. In the
glibc, several symbols are defined as an alias of __libc_XXX, e.g.
malloc is an alias of __libc_malloc.
In such cases, dwarf has no subroutine instances of the alias functions
(e.g. no "malloc" instance), but the map has that symbol and its
address.
Thus, if we search the alieased symbol in debuginfo, we always fail to
find it, but it is in the map.
To solve this problem, this fails back to address-based alternative
search, which searches the symbol in the map, translates its address to
alternative (correct) function name by using debuginfo, and retry to
find the alternative function point from debuginfo.
This adds fail-back process to --vars, --lines and --add options. So,
now you can use those on malloc@libc :)

When annotating source/disasm lines the perf tools parse the output of
objdump, trying to provide augmented output that allows navigating
jumps, calls, etc.
But when a line output by objdump can't be parsed the annotation code
falls back to just presenting the unparsed line.
When fixing a leak in the 0fb9f2aab7 commit ("perf annotate: Fix
memory leaks in LOCK handling") we failed to take that into account and
instead tried to free one of the data structures that should be freed
only when successfully allocated, oops, segfault.
There was a change in the way the objdump output for lock prefixed
instructions is formatted that lead the relevant parser to fail to grok
it.
At least RHEL7 works ok, but Fedora 20 segfaults.
Fix it by making the ins__delete() destructor work like the most basic
destructor: free().
Namely make it accept a NULL pointer and when handling it just do
nothing.
Further investigation is needed to figure out the nature of the objdump
output change so as to make the parser grok it.

perf tools: Speed up thread map generation
We ended up emitting PERF_RECORD_FORK events after their corresponding
PERF_RECORD_COMM, so the code below will remove the "existing thread"
and then recreates it, unnecessarily:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L machine__process_fork_event
<machine__process_fork_event@/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/machine.c:0>
0 int machine__process_fork_event(struct machine *machine, union perf_event *event,
struct perf_sample *sample)
2 {
3 struct thread *thread = machine__find_thread(machine,
event->fork.pid,
event->fork.tid);
6 struct thread *parent = machine__findnew_thread(machine,
event->fork.ppid,
event->fork.ptid);
/* if a thread currently exists for the thread id remove it */
if (thread != NULL)
12 machine__remove_thread(machine, thread);
14 thread = machine__findnew_thread(machine, event->fork.pid,
event->fork.tid);
16 if (dump_trace)
17 perf_event__fprintf_task(event, stdout);
19 if (thread == NULL || parent == NULL ||
20 thread__fork(thread, parent, sample->time) < 0) {
21 dump_printf("problem processing PERF_RECORD_FORK, skipping event.\n");
22 return -1;
}
25 return 0;
26 }
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf fork_after_comm=machine__process_fork_event:12
Added new event:
probe_perf:fork_after_comm (on machine__process_fork_event:12 in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:fork_after_comm -aR sleep 1
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf record -g -e probe_perf:* trace -o /tmp/bla
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.021 MB perf.data (30 samples) ]
Terminated
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
# Samples: 30 of event 'probe_perf:fork_after_comm'
# Event count (approx.): 30
#
# Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol

__event__synthesize_thread.part.2

[root@ssdandy ~]#
And Looking at 'perf report -D' output we see it:
0 0 0x8698 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: auditd:703/707
0 0 0x86c8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(703:707):(703:703)
Fix it by more closely mimicking how the kernel generates those records
when a new fork happens, i.e. first a PERF_RECORD_FORK, then a
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE.
Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has
same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a
FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache
about FILE path.

-----
Actually, the --remove's FAIL is not shown, it just silently fails.
So, this patch adds --purge FILE action for such usecase.
perf buildid-cache --purge FILE removes all caches which has same FILE
path.
In other words, it removes all caches including old binaries.

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.
Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names. The
commit as below can look for a pair by name.
604c5c9297 (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol")
However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means
the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a
problem for comparing different binaries.
For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very
likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old
binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary,
perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong.
Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name.
9c443dfdd3 ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations")
>From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address.
The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010.
a1645ce12a ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance
from host")
However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf
diff cannot work for different binaries as well.
This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The
document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to
compare the symbol names.
Here are some examples:
The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the
location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous
perf diff display the wrong differential profile.

Add new buildid cache if the update target file is not cached.
This can happen when an old binary is replaced by new one after caching
the old one. In this case, user sees his operation just failed.
But it does not look straight, since user just pass the binary "path",
not "build-id".
----
# ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
(update ./perf to new binary)
# ./perf buildid-cache --update ./perf
./perf wasn't in the cache
#
----
This patch adds given new binary to cache if the new binary is
not cached. So we'll not see the above error.

perf evlist: Refcount mmaps
We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
refcount it.
This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the
event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned.
Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct
member.

Commit f6edb53c49 converted the probe to
a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support
the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this
errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of
pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if
perf_event_paranoid > 0:
$ perf record -- sleep 1
perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied)
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ]
Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why
pid = -1 is used.

Some of the tracers bring their own id or pid fields and we can end up
having two of them. This patch adds a "perf_" prefix to the 'generic'
fields so we avoid a clash of the member names.
The change is visible in the babeltrace output:
Before:
$ babeltrace ./ctf-data/

Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different
format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion.
To convert perf.data into CTF run:
$ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ]
The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
CTF stream.
Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
from following exceptions:
PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - added in next patch
PERF_SAMPLE_READ - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER - TODO
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER - TODO
$ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ...
The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace
or tracecompass [1].

The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
distinguish and specify perf CTF data:
- domain
It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)
- tracer_name
It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
CTF based trace.
- version
The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
it looks like on a Debian kernel:
release = "3.14-1-amd64";
version = "3.14.0";

LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.
The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
complete callstack.
For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
displayed.
A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
the call stack information from hardware.
Here are some examples.
When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:
echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd
If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like:

The LBR call stack has the following known limitations:
- Zero length calls are not filtered out by the hardware
- Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not
match
- Pushing different return address onto the stack will have
calls/returns not match
- If callstack is deeper than the LBR, only the last entries are
captured

Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.
LBR call stack has some limitations:
- It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
However, it also offers some advantages:
- LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
else works.

The hearer text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is
placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g.
'perf list hw' shows no guiding text at all, and 'perf list hw
L1-dcache*' shows the guiding text incorrectly in the middle of the
output.
Example
Before this patch:
$ perf list hw L1-dcache*
branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
bus-cycles [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event]
stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event]
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): <-- incorrect position
L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event]
After this patch:
$ perf list hw L1-dcache*

Fix the 'segmentation fault' bug of 'perf list --list-cmds', which also
happens in other cases (e.g. record, report ...). This bug happens when
there are no cmds to list at all.
Example:
Before this patch:
$ perf list --list-cmds
Segmentation fault
$
After this patch:
$ perf list --list-cmds
$
As shown above, the result prints nothing rather than a segmentation
fault. The null result means 'perf list' has no cmds to display at this
time.
