17cb5f84b8 perf tools: Create config_term_names array
config_term_names[] is introduced for future commits which will be able
to retrieve the config name through the config term.

Utilize this array in parse_events_formats_error_string() so the missing
'{,no-}inherit' terms are added.

fc0a2c1d59 perf tools: Introduce parse_events_terms__purge()
Purges 'struct parse_event_term' entries from a list_head.

Some users need this because they don't allocate space for the list
head, it maybe on the stack or embedded into some other struct.

Next patch will convert users that need just purging and then the
perf_events__free_terms() routine will free the list head as well,
finally being renamed to perf_events_terms__delete().

Intel PT attempts to find the sched:sched_switch tracepoint but that seg
faults if tracefs is not readable, because the error reporting structure
is null, as errors are not reported when automatically adding
tracepoints.  Fix by checking before using.

Committer note:

This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports
perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be
used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in
a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users.

Further info from a similar patch by Wang:

The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid.

However, there are many situation a parse_event() can be called without
parse_events_error. See result of

  $ grep 'parse_events(.*NULL)' ./tools/perf/ -r'

bae9cc4110 perf list: Add support for PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUT
When PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT was added to the kernel we should've
added it to tools/perf, where it is used just to list events.

Fix it by adding that new software counter.

d3e0ce3930 perf bpf: Improve BPF related error messages
A series of bpf loader related error codes were introduced to help error
reporting. Functions were improved to return these new error codes.

Functions which return pointers were adjusted to encode error codes into
return value using the ERR_PTR() interface.

bpf_loader_strerror() was improved to convert these error messages to
strings. It checks the error codes and calls libbpf_strerror() and
strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking the
range of the error code.

In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and the
object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her program.

v1 -> v2:
 Use macro for error code.

 Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 Print version strings.

Before:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  After:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)

6371ca3b54 bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting
In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.

Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
CHECK_ERR() macro.

All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.

bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
be improved by the following patch.

load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
program or other problem.

v1 -> v2:

 - Using macro for error code.

 - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
   are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.

In v1:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls

                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  In v2:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Incorrect kernel version
  SKIP
  (Will be further improved by following patches)

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Program too big

d509db0473 perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

1f45b1d490 perf bpf: Attach eBPF filter to perf event
This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After
applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like:

 # perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls

A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the
callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'.

PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly
created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to
perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl,
EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.

Committer note:

The bpf proggie used so far:

  __attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
  int fork(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 0;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being
running in system wide mode.

That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above
always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered
away ;-/

Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that:

  # trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o
     0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
  ^C#

And it works with all tools, including 'perf trace'.

4edf30e39e perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files
This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:

 # perf record --event filter.o ls

Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.

The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().

Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

Committer notes:

Before:

  # /tmp/oldperf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.198 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist
  /tmp/foo.o
  # perf evlist -v
  /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

I.e. we create just the PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1),
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY(config 0x9) event, now, with this patch:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.210 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist -v
  perf_bpf_probe:fork: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x6bd, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest:
  1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  #

We now have a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1), but the config states 0x6bd,
which is how, after setting up the event via the kprobes interface, the
'perf_bpf_probe:fork' event is accessible via the perf_event_open
syscall. This is all transient, as soon as the 'perf record' session
ends, these probes will go away.

To see how it looks like, lets try doing a neverending session, one that
expects a control+C to end:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a

So, with that in place, we can use 'perf probe' to see what is in place:

  # perf probe -l
    perf_bpf_probe:fork  (on _do_fork@acme/git/linux/kernel/fork.c)

We also can use debugfs:

  [root@felicio ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:perf_bpf_probe/fork _text+638512

Ok, now lets stop and see if we got some forks:

  [root@felicio linux]# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (111 samples) ]

  [root@felicio linux]# perf script
      sshd  1271 [003] 81797.507678: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [000] 81797.524917: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [001] 81799.381603: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [001] 81799.408635: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
  <SNIP>

Sure enough, we have 111 forks :-)

Callchains seems to work as well:

  # perf report --stdio --no-child
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0

1e5e3ee8ff perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel
This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:

  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;

For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
  libbpf:

  libbpf: -- END LOG --
  libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
  libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
  event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                       \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist -v
  /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

aa3abf30bb perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs
This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.

By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.

To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.

strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.

Committer note:

Trying it:

To build a test eBPF object file:

I am testing using a script I built from the 'perf test -v LLVM' output:

  export CLANG_SOURCE=-

  OBJ=/tmp/foo.o
  rm -f $OBJ
  echo '__attribute__((section("fork=do_fork"), used)) int fork(void *ctx) {return 0;} char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;' | \

 ---

First asking to put a probe in a function not present in the kernel
(misses the initial _):

  $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  Probe point 'do_fork' not found.
  event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                       \___ You need to check probing points in BPF file

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  $

 ---

Now, with "__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)):

 $ grep _do_fork /proc/kallsyms
 ffffffff81099ab0 T _do_fork
 $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
 Failed to open kprobe_events: Permission denied
 event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                      \___ Permission denied

 ---

Cool, we need to provide some better hints, "kprobe_events" is too low
level, one doesn't strictly need to know the precise details of how
these things are put in place, so something that shows the command
needed to fix the permissions would be more helpful.

Lets try as root instead:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  Lowering default frequency rate to 1000.
  Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

84c86ca12b perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event
By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.

After applying this patch, commands like:

 # perf record --event foo.o sleep

become possible.

However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented.  Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

Commiter notes:

Using it:

  $ ls -la foo.o
  ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory
  $ perf record --event foo.o sleep
  libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory
  event syntax error: 'foo.o'
                       \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid

  (add -v to see detail)

  $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep
  libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file
  event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o'
                       \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  $

  $ file /tmp/foo.o

  $

So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok.

374ce938aa perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms
This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
  # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...

So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.

In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.

Basic result with and without inherit:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio
  # ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 23641752891
  ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30428312415

  # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 11699501775
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 15058023559

Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 11895759282
 ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30668000441

Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:

  # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 23285400229
  ...
  # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 14969050259

Committer note:

One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

e637d17757 perf tools: Enable event_config terms to tracepoint events
This patch enables config terms for tracepoint perf events. Valid terms
for tracepoint events are 'call-graph' and 'stack-size', so we can use
different callgraph settings for each event and eliminate unnecessary
overhead.

Here is an example for using different call-graph config for each
tracepoint.

  $ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_write/call-graph=fp/
                -e syscalls:sys_exit_write/call-graph=no/

ffeb883e56 perf tools: Show proper error message for wrong terms of hw/sw events
Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms
is specified for hw/sw type perf events.

This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string()
more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf
events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events.

Before this patch:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
  invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

After this patch:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
                                 \___ unknown term

  valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size

  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

0b8891a8e6 perf tools: Adds the config_term callback for different type events
Currently, function config_term() is used for checking config terms of
all types of events, while unknown terms is not reported as an error
because pmu events have valid terms in sysfs.

But this is wrong when unknown terms are specificed to hw/sw events.
This patch Adds the config_term callback so we can use separate check
routines for each type of events.

Commit d49e469507 ("perf evsel: Add a backpointer to the evlist a
evsel is in") updated perf_evlist__add() but not
perf_evlist__splice_list_tail().

This illustrates that it is better if perf_evlist__splice_list_tail()
calls perf_evlist__add() instead of duplicating the logic, so do that.
This will also simplify a subsequent fix for propagating maps.

functions now return pointer with encoded error:

  - tp_format
  - trace_event__tp_format
  - perf_evsel__newtp_idx
  - perf_evsel__newtp

This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.

d457c96392 perf callchain: Per-event type selection support
This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
perf.data.

Here is an example.

  perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1

 perf evlist -v
 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,
 config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
 inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
 cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, {
 sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID,
 disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
 exclude_guest: 1

09af2a5535 perf record: Support per-event freq term
Now perf can set per-event value of time and (sampling) period.  But I
guess most users like me just want to set frequency rather than period.
So add the 'freq' term in the event parser.

3206771239 perf tools: Per-event time support
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

ee4c75887d perf tools: Force period term to overload global settings
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

4ba1faa19f perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

15bfd2cc10 perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.

For example:

 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
 [1] 464
 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2092
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.

This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.

After applying this patch:

 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 1  of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 1
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...
