01412261d9 perf buildid-cache: Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
to store corresponding elf binary.
This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.

Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)

11870d714a perf symbols: Introduce filename__readable to check readability
Introduce filename__readable to check readability by opening the file
directly. Since the access(R_OK) just checks the readability based on
real UID/GID, it is ignored that the effective UID/GID and capabilities
for some special file (e.g.  /proc/kcore).

filename__readable() directly opens given file with O_RDONLY so that the
kernel checks it by effective UID/GID and capabilities.

258e4bfcbd tools: Pass arg to fdarray__filter's call back function
Before this patch there's no way to pass arguments to fdarray__filter's
call back function.

This improvement will be used by 'perf record' to support unmapping ring
buffer for both main evlist and overwrite evlist. Without this patch
there's no way to track overwrite evlist from 'struct fdarray'.

e10e4ef63b perf evlist: Check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt when put a mmap
evlist->mmap[i]->refcnt could be 0 if an evlist has no evsel or if all
evsels don't match the evlist during mmap. For example, when all evsels
are overwritable but the evlist itself is normal. To avoid crashing,
perf should check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt, and raise bug
only when base is not NULL.

f3058a1c19 perf evlist: Don't poll and mmap overwritable events
There's no need to receive events from overwritable ring buffer.
Instead, perf should make them run in background until some external
event of interest takes place.  This patch makes ignores normal events from
overwrite evlists.

Overwritable events must be mapped readonly and backward, so if evlist
and evsel doesn't match (evsel->overwrite is true but either evlist is
read/write or evlist is not backward, and vice versa), skip mapping it.

5ea5888b2f perf ctf: Convert invalid chars in a string before set value

  # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
  tencent.qqmusic
  ...
  Binder_2
  日志输出线  <-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
  WifiManager
  ...

'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.

For example:

  # cat << EOF > ./badguy.c
  #include <sys/prctl.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
         prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");
         while(1)
                 sleep(1);
         return 0;
  }
  EOF
  # gcc ./badguy.c
  # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out
  # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf
  CTF stream 4 flush failed

  check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

  Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
  file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

  Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

  If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
  even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

09fa4f4012 perf record: Rename variable to make code clear
record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data.  'head'
is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data.

The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.

Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to
'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:

    buf = &data[old & md->mask];
    size = head - old;
    old += size;     <--- Here, old == head

508be0dfe6 perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys
Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

  % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
  % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict

b90dc17a5d perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward
Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is
overwritable. The following commits will support syntax like:

  # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ...

An overwritable evsel requires kernel support for the
perf_event_attr.write_backward ring buffer feature.

Add it to perf_missing_feature.

45e9005690 perf machine: Do not bail out if not managing to read ref reloc symbol
This means the user can't access /proc/kallsyms, for instance, because
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is set to 1.

Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope.

This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only
issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens,
for instance, in some libtracevent plugins.  A warning for that case
will be provided in the next patch in this series.

Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.

a29d5c9b81 perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace
The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

a1f3d56761 perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets
Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default.  But
it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep
N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime).  Changing
to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

Before:
  # perf stat -a sleep 0.1

daf4f4786e perf stat: Update runtime using cpu-clock event

6ae98ba611 perf symbols: Store vdso buildid unconditionally
When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
perf.data.

This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or
not.

08094828b7 perf evsel: Handle EACCESS + perf_event_paranoid=2 in fallback()
Now with the default for the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl being 2 [1]
we need to fall back to :u, i.e. to set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel
to 1.

Before:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record usleep 1
  Error:
  You may not have permission to collect stats.

  Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
  which controls use of the performance events system by
  unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

  The current value is 2:

    -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
  >= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
  >= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  >= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  [acme@jouet linux]$

After:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf evlist
  cycles:u
  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  [acme@jouet linux]$

And if the user turns on verbose mode, an explanation will appear:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record -v usleep 1
  Warning:
  kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2, trying to fall back to excluding kernel samples

7d173913a6 perf evsel: Improve EPERM error handling in open_strerror()
We were showing a hardcoded default value for the kernel.perf_event_paranoid
sysctl, now that it became more paranoid (1 -> 2 [1]), this would need to be
updated, instead show the current value:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf record ls
  Error:
  You may not have permission to collect stats.

  Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
  which controls use of the performance events system by
