Stephane Eranian 6fc2e83077 perf/x86: Fix LBR related crashes on Intel Atom
This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom.

The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format
LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format
but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer
dereferences in a couple of places.

Stephane Eranian 61b87cae63 perf/x86: Fix filter_events() bug with event mappings
This patch fixes a bug in the filter_events() function.

The patch fixes the bug whereby if some mappings did not
exist, e.g., STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND, then any event after it
in the attrs array would disappear from the published list of
events in /sys/devices/cpu/events. This could be verified
easily on any system post SNB (which do not publish
STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND):

	$ ./perf stat -e cycles,ref-cycles true
	Performance counter stats for 'true':
              1,217,348      cycles
	<not supported>      ref-cycles

The problem is that in filter_events() there is an assumption
that the argument (attrs) is organized in increasing continuous
event indexes related to the event_map(). But if we remove the
non-supported events by shifing the position in the array, then
the lookup x86_pmu.event_map() needs to compensate for it, otherwise
we are looking up the wrong index. This patch corrects this problem
by compensating for the deleted events and with that ref-cycles
reappears (here shown on Haswell):

	$ perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles true
	Performance counter stats for 'true':
         4,525,910      ref-cycles
         1,064,920      cycles

Andi Kleen 724697648e perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST for cycles: ppp
Add a new 'three-p' precise level, that uses INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as
base. The basic mechanism of abusing the inverse cmask to get all
cycles works the same as before.

PREC_DIST is available on Sandy Bridge or later. It had some problems
on Sandy Bridge, so we only use it on IvyBridge and later. I tested it
on Broadwell and Skylake.

PREC_DIST has special support for avoiding shadow effects, which can
give better results compare to UOPS_RETIRED. The drawback is that
PREC_DIST can only schedule on counter 1, but that is ok for cycle
sampling, as there is normally no need to do multiple cycle sampling
runs in parallel. It is still possible to run perf top in parallel, as
that doesn't use precise mode. Also of course the multiplexing can
still allow parallel operation.

:pp stays with the previous event.

Example:

Sample a loop with 10 sqrt with old cycles:pp

	  0.14 │10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0     <--------------
	  9.13 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.58 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.51 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  6.27 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.38 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.20 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.74 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  5.40 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.14 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.51 │    ↑ jmp    10

We expect all 10 sqrt to get roughly the sample number of samples.

But you can see that the instruction directly after the JMP is
systematically underestimated in the result, due to sampling shadow
effects.

With the new PREC_DIST based sampling this problem is gone and all
instructions show up roughly evenly:

	  9.51 │10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.74 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.84 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  6.05 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.46 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.25 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.18 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  5.26 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.13 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.43 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  0.16 │    ↑ jmp    10

Even with PREC_DIST there is still sampling skid and the result is not
completely even, but systematic shadow effects are significantly
reduced.

The improvements are mainly expected to make a difference in high IPC
code. With low IPC it should be similar.

Andi Kleen 442f5c74cb perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS for cycles:pp for Skylake
I added UOPS_RETIRED.ALL by mistake to the Skylake PEBS event list for
cycles:pp. But the event is not documented for Skylake, and has some
issues.

The recommended replacement for cycles:pp is to use
INST_RETIRED.ANY+pebs as a base, similar to what CPUs before Sandy
Bridge did. This new event is called INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS. The
event is not really new, but has been already used by perf before
Sandy Bridge for the original cycles:p

Note the SDM doesn't document that event either, but it's being
documented in the latest version of the event list on:

  https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKL

This patch does:

 - Remove UOPS_RETIRED.ALL from the Skylake PEBS event list

 - Add INST_RETIRED.ANY to the Skylake PEBS event list, and an table entry to
   allow cmask=16,inv=1 for cycles:pp

 - We don't need an extra entry for the base INST_RETIRED event,
   because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry.

 - Switch Skylake to use the Core2 PEBS alias (which is
   INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS)

Andi Kleen 01330d7288 perf/x86: Allow zero PEBS status with only single active event
Normally we drop PEBS events with a zero status field. But when
there is only a single PEBS event active we can assume the
PEBS record is for that event. The PEBS buffer is always flushed
when PEBS events are disabled, so there is no risk of mishandling
state PEBS records this way.

Andi Kleen 957ea1fdbc perf/x86: Remove warning for zero PEBS status
The recent commit:

  75f80859b1 ("perf/x86/intel/pebs: Robustify PEBS buffer drain")

causes lots of warnings on different CPUs before Skylake
when running PEBS intensive workloads.

They can have a zero status field in the PEBS record when
PEBS is racing with clearing of GLOBAl_STATUS.

This also can cause hangs (it seems there are still
problems with printk in NMI).

Disable the warning, but still ignore the record.

Peter Zijlstra 7b648018f6 perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops
This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().

I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.

So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing.  Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.

For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.

This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.

Peter Zijlstra 12ca6ad2e3 perf: Fix race in swevent hash
There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
while it can still have events on. This will result in a
use-after-free which is BAD.

Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
around and no use-after-free takes place.

When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
will occur.

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not
what we expected it to be.

This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.

Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.

   0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
   [acme@ssdandy linux]$
 
   An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to not
   generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
 
   The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
 
 Jiri's cover letter for this series:
 
 The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed triggering user's
 script on the end of the stat command:
 
   http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2
 
 This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language and rather adds support
 to:
 
   - store stat data into perf.data file
   - add python support to process stat events
 
 Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and post process it with
 python scripts in a similar way we do for sampling data.
 
 The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
   stat        - stored for each read syscall of the counter
   stat round  - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
   stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
                 so report tool could restore the same output as record
 
 The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
 to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data.
 
 See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py.

    [acme@ssdandy linux]$

    An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to not
    generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

    The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

  Jiri's cover letter for this series:

  The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed triggering user's
  script on the end of the stat command:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2

  This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language and rather adds support
  to:

    - store stat data into perf.data file
    - add python support to process stat events

  Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and post process it with
  python scripts in a similar way we do for sampling data.

  The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
    stat        - stored for each read syscall of the counter
    stat round  - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
    stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
                  so report tool could restore the same output as record

  The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
  to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data.

  See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py."

Also a few other changes:

User visible changes:

  - Make command line options always available, even when they
    depend on some feature being enabled, warning the user about
    use of such options (Wang Nan)

  - Support --vmlinux in perf record, useful, so far, for eBPF,
    where we will set up events that will be used in the record
    session (He Kuang)

  - Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
    --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
    reads in the PMI on Skylake.  (Andi Kleen)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Dump the stack when a 'perf test -v ' entry segfaults, so far we
    would have to run it under gdb with 'set follow-fork-mode child'
    set to get a proper backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Initialize the refcnt in 'struct thread' to 1 and fixup its
    users accordingly, so that we try to have the same refcount
    model accross the perf codebase (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - More prep work for moving the subcmd infrastructure out of
    tools/perf/ and into tools/lib/subcmd/ to be used by other
    tools/ living utilities (Josh Poimboeuf)

  - Fix 'perf test' hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on (Namhyung Kim)

Jiri Olsa 664c98d4e1 perf stat record: Add pipe support for record command
Allowing storing stat record data into pipe, so report tools
(report/script) could read data directly from record.

Committer note:

Before this patch:

  $ perf stat record -o - usleep 1 | perf report -i -
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  $ perf stat record -o - usleep 1 | perf script -i -
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  $ ls -la perf.data
  ls: cannot access perf.data: No such file or directory
  $

After:

  $ perf stat record -o - usleep 1 | perf report -i -
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use
  # --header/--header-only options.
  #
  Error:
  The - file has no samples!
  $ perf stat record -o - usleep 1 | perf script -i -
  Display of symbols requested but neither sample IP nor sample address
  is selected. Hence, no addresses to convert to symbols.

Jiri Olsa 4979d0c7d0 perf stat record: Add record command
Add 'perf stat record' command support. It creates simple (header only)
perf.data file ATM.

The record command could be specified anywhere among stat options. All
stat command options are valid for stat record command with '-o' option
exception. If specified for record command it denotes the perf data file
name.

Committer note:

Set sample_type to PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, which should be harmless
while avoiding that older tools show confusing messages, for instance,
with sample_type = 0, we get:

  $ perf stat record usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

  $ oldperf evlist

While with sample_type set to PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, after we re-run 'perf
stat record usleep' we get:

  $ oldperf evlist

Which at least shows the names of the events in the perf.data file.

Additionally, such files, when passed to 'perf report' will produce:

  $ oldperf report --stdio
  WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected.
  Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated?
  Warning:
  Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted.

  Check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

  As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples

  Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

  Error:
  The perf.data file has no samples!
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  $

Which is confusing and can be solved by just adding the kernel mmap record,
which will also remove that warning about the data size field being equal to
zero, after generating the mmap record:

  $ perf stat record usleep 1

different way.

In the future it might be used to store the version of the stat storage

Jiri Olsa 6742434261 perf tools: Add stat config event synthesize function
Introduce the perf_event__synthesize_stat_config to synthesize a 'struct
perf_stat_config'.

Storing the stat config in the form of tag-value pairs will, I believe,
sort out future version extensibility issues.

Jiri Olsa 374fb9e362 perf tools: Add stat config user level event
Adding the stat config event to pass/store stat config data, so report
tools (report/script) know how to interpret stat data.

The config data is stored in a 'tag|value' way to allow for easy
extension and backwards compatibility.
