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.

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.

autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or
predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags
are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT.
To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT
decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches.
Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is
also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo
(https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble
sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial)
amended to take the number of elements as a parameter.
$ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized
$ ./sort_optimized 30000

2254 ms
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[intel-pt]

$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000

$ ./sort_autofdo 30000

Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR,
but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

Add a new option --strip which is used with --itrace to strip out
non-synthesized events. This results in a perf.data file that is
simpler for external tools to parse. In particular, this can be used to
prepare a perf.data file for consumption by autofdo.

autofdo and gives an example of that use.

Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The
decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for
each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding
window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid
overlapping intervals.
This is useful for:
- Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf
report branch view
- Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples
- Other users of LBRs
Also the Documentation is updated.
Examples:
Record with Intel PT:
perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so:
perf report --itrace=ile
is the same as:
perf report --itrace=ile -b
Branch history can be requested also:
perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history

A non-synthesized event might not have a branch stack if branch stacks
have been synthesized (using itrace options).
An example of that is when Intel PT records sched_switch events for
decoding purposes. Those sched_switch events do not have branch stacks
even though the Intel PT decoder may be synthesizing other events that
do due to the itrace options.

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to
change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the
logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to
the top byte.
The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the
addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will
loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that
would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong.
And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are
processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has
gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in
the while loop it will be.
Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize
callchains e.g.
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
$ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige
However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so:
$ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat
Error:

you call 'perf record' without -g?
# To display the perf.data header info,

above command works.
A side-effect of the change is that the default option to
accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force.

used e.g.

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.
--itrace=i10us
means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.
Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really
make sense.
Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".
In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

For dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out of the
gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and include as
makefile during the build.
This format put object as target and all the c and header files as
dependencies, like:
util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \
/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
...
If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed the
build fails on:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'. Stop.
This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild to alter the shape
of the object dependencies like:
source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c
deps_util/abspath.o := \
/usr/include/stdc-predef.h \
util/cache.h \
...
util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o)
$(deps_util/abspath.o):
With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because
it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header.
As previously mentioned the fixdep tool is taken from kbuild. It's not
complete backport, only the part that alters the standard dependency
info was taken, the part that adds the CONFIG_* dependency logic will be
probably taken later on.

Storing the actual tracing path mountpoint to display correct
error message hint ('Hint:' line). The error hint rediscovers
mountpoints, but it could be different from what we actually
used in tracing path.
Before we'd display debugfs mount even though tracefs was used:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
...
After this change, correct mountpoint is displayed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

Instead of using dso->kernel, this is equivalent at the moment,

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.
perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.
The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).
The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().
The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().
Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.
Committer notes:
Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:
The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.
When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:
# perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.
Error: Failed to add events.
#
With this fix it works again:
# perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
Added new event:
probe:usbnet_start_xmit (on usbnet_start_xmit in usbnet)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:usbnet_start_xmit -aR sleep 1

When perf creates a new child to profile, the events are enabled on
exec(). And in this case, it doesn't synthesize any event for the
child since they'll be generated during exec(). But there's an window
between the enabling and the event generation.
It used to be overcome since samples are only in kernel (so we always
have the map) and the comm is overridden by a later COMM event.
However it won't work if events are processed and displayed before the
COMM event overrides like in 'perf script'. This leads to those early
samples (like native_write_msr_safe) not having a comm but pid (like
':15328').
So it needs to synthesize COMM event for the child explicitly before
enabling so that it can have a correct comm. But at this time, the
comm will be "perf" since it's not exec-ed yet.
