Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cb9dd49e11 perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers
We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.

Example:

  # uname -a
  Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
  # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  279
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:

  $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  56
  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
  $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
  279

With this fix:

  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  sched:sched_switch

Stephane Eranian fc3e4d077d perf stat: Fix default output file
The following commit:

commit 56f3bae706
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600

    perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere

introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:

    perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....

They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
    perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...

This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.

This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.

I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

David Ahern 80c0120a3c perf tools: Fix endianity swapping for adds_features bitmask
Based on Jiri's latest attempt:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61

Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned
longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

    Fixes 32-bit ppc dumping 64-bit x86 feature data:
     ========
     captured on: Sun May 20 19:23:23 2012
     hostname : nxos-vdc-dev3
     os release : 3.4.0-rc7+
     perf version : 3.4.rc4.137.g978da3
     arch : x86_64
     nrcpus online : 16
     nrcpus avail : 16

     cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,26,5
     total memory : 24680324 kB
    ...

Verified 64-bit x86 can still dump feature data for 32-bit ppc.

Len Brown 650a37f32d tools/power turbostat: fix IVB support
Initial IVB support went into turbostat in Linux-3.1:
553575f1ae
(tools turbostat: recognize and run properly on IVB)

However, when running on IVB, turbostat would fail
to report the new couters added with SNB, c7, pc2 and pc7.
So in scenarios where these counters are non-zero on IVB,
turbostat would report erroneous residencey results.

In particular c7 time would be added to c1 time,
since c1 time is calculated as "that which is left over".

Also, turbostat reports MHz capabilities when passed
the "-v" option, and it would incorrectly report 133MHz
bclk instead of 100MHz bclk for IVB, which would inflate
GHz reported with that option.

This patch is a backport of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

Len Brown d15cf7c129 tools/power turbostat: fix un-intended affinity of forked program
Linux 3.4 included a modification to turbostat to
lower cross-call overhead by using scheduler affinity:

15aaa34654
(tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs)

In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program,
that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding
the child to the last cpu in the system.

This change removed the binding before forking the child.

This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

Cyrill Gorcunov d97b46a646 syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.

One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g.  mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.

Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate.  So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.

It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.

Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.

At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

      0.09%               ps  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] page_fault
...

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2

    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:

Jiri Olsa 8db4841fc7 perf symbols: Handle different endians properly during symbol load
Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness. It's possible
we read buildid file object from different architecture than we are
currentlly running on. So we need to care about properly reading such
object's data - handle different endianness properly.

Adding:
	needs_swap DSO field
	dso__swap_init function to initialize DSO's needs_swap
	DSO__SWAP to read the data with proper swaps

Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below,
e.g. following perf report diff:

...
      0.12%               ps  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] clear_page
-     0.12%              awk  bash                 [.] alloc_word_desc
+     0.12%              awk  bash                 [.] yyparse
      0.11%   beah-rhts-task  libpython2.6.so.1.0  [.] 0x5560e
      0.10%             perf  libc-2.12.so         [.] __ctype_toupper_loc
-     0.09%  rhts-test-runne  bash                 [.] maybe_make_export_env
+     0.09%  rhts-test-runne  bash                 [.] 0x385a0
      0.09%               ps  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] page_fault
...

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
  - complete perf.data header is displayed

    perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"

    The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown".

    It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies
    the expressions to "[unknown]".

Looks like a copy-paste in that the other references use al.map but this one
should be node->map.

With this patch you get:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 79695e1bb6 perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host}
When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.

When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.

Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).

That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.

I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:

  $ perf stat usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

In non symbolic views, i.e. --sort without "symbol", as in:

We're segfaulting in the --tui because we're testing the symbol resolved
and then trying to use the symbol on the histogram entry where we're
coalescing all hits for a COMM, and the first hist_entry for a comm may
have a NULL symbol, i.e. the RIP didn't resolve to any symbol.

In this case we're segfaulting, fix it by testing against the symbol in
the histogram entry.

Ulrich Drepper e30d539b3f tools/vm/page-types.c: cleanups
Compiling page-type.c with a recent compiler produces many warnings,
mostly related to signed/unsigned comparisons.  This patch cleans up most
of them.

One remaining warning is about an unused parameter.  The <compiler.h> file
doesn't define a __unused macro (or the like) yet.  This can be addressed
later.

The attr.branch_sample_type field is defined as u64 by the API.  As
such, we need to ensure the variable holding the value of the branch
stack filters is also u64 otherwise we may lose bits in the future.

Note also that the bogus definition of the field in perf_record_opts
caused problems on big-endian PPC systems.  Thanks to Anshuman Khandual

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c410431cef perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:

  k		kernel space
  u		user space
  h		hypervisor
  G		guest
  H		host
  p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)

that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:

 $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 instructions:u
 $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:k
 $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kh
 $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cache-misses:G
 $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kpp
 $

Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 895d97663c perf top: Fix counter name fixup when fallbacking to cpu-clock
In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock"
we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it
to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value,
which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght
string.

Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way
event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name
and cache it again.

Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be
honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that
level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p',
levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails,
_then_ get to 'cpu-clock'.

But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the
caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for
the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that
will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being
used, some sort of fallback happened.

Linus Torvalds 654443e20d Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().
