When perf annotate runs with no vmlinux file it cannot annotate kernel
symbols because the kallsyms only provides symbol addresses. So it
recommends to run perf buildid-cache to install proper vmlinux image.
But running perf buildid-cache -av vmlinux as the message gives me a
following error:
$ perf buildid-cache -av /home/namhyung/build/kernel/vmlinux
Couldn't add v: No such file or directory
Since the -a option receives a parameter, 'v' should not be after the
option.
In addition -a option is not work for this case since the build-id cache
already has a kallsyms with same build-id so it'll fail with EEXIST.
Use recently added -u (--update) option for it.

A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed
args, fixed in commit d3d09e1820 ("EDAC:
Fix kcalloc argument order") and also fixed in the networking commit
a1b1add07f ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument
order").
I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these
changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I
happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found
these additional reversed args instances in the perf code.
In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are
simply multiplied. I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to
see if the same thing held true there, however.

Currently we don't display group members' values for raw columns like
'Samples' and 'Period' when in group report mode.
Uniting '__hpp__percent_fmt' and '__hpp__raw_fmt' function under new
function __hpp__fmt. It's basically '__hpp__percent_fmt' code with new
'fmt_percent' bool parameter added saying whether raw number or
percentage should be printed.
This way raw columns print out all the group members when
in group report mode, like:
$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...

This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide
mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between
sockets.
To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition
to -a. (system-wide).
The output includes the socket number and the number of online
processors on that socket. This is useful to gauge the amount of
aggregation.
# ./perf stat -I 1000 -a --aggr-socket -e cycles sleep 2

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:
(gdb) bt
\#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,
file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884
\#2 0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555
\#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645
This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.
There seem to be 2 causes:
1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.
2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.
This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.
The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys. Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol. So just get rid of them.
This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.
Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

Based on perf report/top/scripts browser integration idea from acme.
This will enable user to runtime switch the data file, when this option
is selected, it will popup all the legal data files in current working
directory, and the filename selected by user is saved in the global
variable "input_name", and a new key 'K_SWITCH_INPUT_DATA' will be
passed back to the built-in command which will perform the switch.
This initial version only enables it for 'perf report'.

We print several '__u64' quantities using '%llu'. On powerpc, we by
default include '<asm-generic/int-l64.h> which results in __u64 being an
unsigned long. This causes compile warnings which are treated as errors
due to '-Werror'.
By defining __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ we include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
and define __u64 as unsigned long long.
Changelog[v2]:
[Michael Ellerman] Use __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ and avoid PRIu64
format specifier - which as Jiri Olsa pointed out, breaks on x86-64.

This patch adds a new printing mode for perf stat. It allows interval
printing. That means perf stat can now print event deltas at regular
time interval. This is useful to detect phases in programs.
The -I option enables interval printing. It expects an interval duration
in milliseconds. Minimum is 100ms. Once, activated perf stat prints
events deltas since last printout. All modes are supported.
$ perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
# time counts events
1.000109853 2,388,560,546 cycles
2.000262846 2,393,332,358 cycles
3.000354131 2,393,176,537 cycles
4.000439503 2,393,203,790 cycles
5.000527075 2,393,167,675 cycles
6.000609052 2,393,203,670 cycles
7.000691082 2,393,175,678 cycles
The output format makes it easy to feed into a plotting program such as
gnuplot when the -I option is used in combination with the -x option:
$ perf stat -x, -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
1.000084113,2378775498,cycles
2.000245798,2391056897,cycles
