   - Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
     the relevant documentation was updated in:
         tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
     briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
     them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
     for further reading.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
     kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
     developer machine but not on an embedded system.  (Wang Nan)

   - Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
     in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
     postgresql and Qt.  (Adrian Hunter)

   - Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
     disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
     space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
     be used in other events.  (Kan Liang)

   - Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo)
       * A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
       * Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
         arg.
       * Add missing 'clockid' entries.

   - Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

       # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
       # perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
       <SNIP>
       # Overhead  Source File
          26.49%  copy_page_64.S
           5.49%  signal.c
           0.51%  msr.h
       #

     It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
     '-s srcfile,symbol'.

     There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
     DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

   - Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

       $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
       $ perf evlist -F
       cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
       cycles: sample_period=1000
       $

   - Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
     showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
     trace'.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
     4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
     routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
     can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
     (Wang Nan)

   - 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

       $ trace -e file touch file

     Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls.  More
     work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
     to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
     proof of concept.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
     related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
     (Adrian Hunter)

   - ... and tons of other changes, see the shortlog and the Git log for
     details"

acf860ae7c bpf tools: New API to get name from a BPF object
Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object
to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF
object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads
all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object.

The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name.
Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM),
so we change it together.

1d945012d1 tools lib traceeveent: Allow for negative numbers in print format
It was reported that "%-8s" does not parse well when used in the printk
format. The '-' is what is throwing it off. Allow that to be included.

Reporter note:

Example before:

  transhuge-stres-10730 [004]  5897.713989: mm_compaction_finished: node=0
  zone=>-<8s order=-2119871790 ret=

Example after:

  transhuge-stres-4235  [000]   453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0
  zone=ffffffff81815d7a order=9 ret=

(I will send patches to fix the string handling in the tracepoints so
it's on par with in-kernel printing via trace_pipe:)

  transhuge-stres-10921 [007] ...1  6307.140205: mm_compaction_finished: node=0

6f56e9cf58 tools lib traceevent: Add checks for returned EVENT_ERROR type
Running the following perf-stat command on an arm64 system produces the
following result...

  [root@aarch64 ~]# perf stat -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -a sleep 1
    Warning: [kmem:mm_page_alloc] function sizeof not defined
    Warning: Error: expected type 4 but read 0
  Segmentation fault
  [root@aarch64 ~]#

The second warning was a result of the first warning not stopping
processing after it detected the issue.

That is, code that found the issue reported the first problem, but
because it did not exit out of the functions smoothly, it caused the
other warning to appear and not only that, it later caused the SIGSEGV.

aa9b1ac33c bpf tools: Introduce accessors for struct bpf_program
This patch introduces accessors for user of libbpf to retrieve section
name and fd of a opened/loaded eBPF program. 'struct bpf_prog_handler'
is used for that purpose. Accessors of programs section name and file
descriptor are provided. Set/get private data are also impelmented.

55cffde2e1 bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernel
This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load
programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in
'struct bpf_program'.

During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return.  Note
that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first
loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer
to avoid potention multi-thread problem.

Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading.

load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into
kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function
loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches,
which creates different instances from a program and load them into
kernel.

8a47a6c522 bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs
If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction
which loads an absolute address into a register, like this:

  ld_64   r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)>
  ...
  call    2

That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section.
To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing
the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by
eBPF map functions.

This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by
patches:

'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section',
'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections'
and
'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'.

For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding
file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction.

This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map
relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol
table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.

52d3352e79 bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file
This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using
bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in 'struct
bpf_object'.

Previous patches parse ELF object file and collects required data, but
doesn't play with the kernel. They belong to the 'opening' phase. This
patch is the first patch in 'loading' phase. The 'loaded' field is
introduced in 'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading an object twice,
because the loading phase clears resources collected during the opening
which becomes useless after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared.

e3ed2fef22 bpf tools: Add bpf.c/h for common bpf operations
This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions
issuing bpf syscall. The goal of these two files is to hide syscall
completely from user. Note that bpf.c and bpf.h deal with kernel
interface only. Things like structure of 'map' section in the ELF object
is not cared by of bpf.[ch].

We first introduce bpf_create_map().

Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they
don't use OO style naming.

340909152a bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program
This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be
relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in
'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in
the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map
loading instructions.

Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end
of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in
the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are
loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction.

'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many
maps are defined in the object.

This is the third part of map relocation. The principle of map relocation
is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from
SHT_SYMTAB section'.

bec7d68cb5 bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section
This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking
BPF maps.

What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file
descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to
'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we
should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and
fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in
libbpf.

BPF programs should be written in this way:

 struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = {
    .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
    .key_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
    .value_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
    .max_entries = 1000000,
 };

 SEC("my_func=sys_write")
 int my_func(void *ctx)
 {
     ...
     bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY);
     ...
 }

Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>'
instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to
the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then
fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it.

However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is
only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the
relocation:

 1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such
    'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in
    symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB);

 2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map
    variables.

Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which
required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after
map creation complete, replace the imm field.

This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB
into object's efile field for further use.

validation according to e_type and e_machine.

All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.

After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.

The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

1b76c13e4b bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check
This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.

33a2471cc9 tools lib traceevent: Allow setting an alternative symbol resolver
The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel
symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using
libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via
subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one.

To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent
needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr.

This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving
facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve
kernel symbols.

0aefc3590a tools: Copy lib/hweight.c from the kernel sources
Instead of accessing it directly, as it uses EXPORT_SYMBOL, that has
no meaning in tools/perf and because we removed the stubs for it, i.e.
we removed the tools/include/linux/export.h file.

This fixes the build for the detached tarball sources cases and removes
one more source of entanglement with the kernel sources.

ab85785aa1 tools lib api debugfs: Check for tracefs when reporting errors
Now that we have two mountpoints, one for debugfs and another, for
tracefs, we end up needing to check permissions for both, so, on
a system with default config we were always asking the user to
check the permission of the debugfs mountpoint, even when it was
already sufficient. Fix it.

E.g.:

  $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
  Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
  Hint:  Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

  $ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug
  $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
  Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
  Hint:  Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

  $ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
     0.326 ( 0.061 ms): usleep/11961 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffef1081c50) = 0

e3d09ec812 tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins
Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.

This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.

The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.

Before this patch:

  $ perf record -e 'ftrace:function' ls

d3542436c9 tools lib traceevent: Add alias field to struct format_field
Introduce an 'alias' field to 'struct format_field' to be able
to use alternative name for the field.

It is initialized with same string pointer as 'name' field.
The free logic checks the 'alias' pointer being reset by user
and frees it.

This will be handy when converting data into CTF, where each
field within event needs to have a unique name (while this
is not required for tracepoint). Converter can easily assign
unique name into the format_field struct.

de28c15daf tools lib api: Undefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE before setting it
Some toolchains (like Hardened Gentoo) define _FORTIFY_SOURCE in the
built-in, default args.  This causes perf builds to fail with:

<command-line>:0:0: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<built-in>: note: this is the location of the previous definition cc1:
all warnings being treated as errors

To avoid this, undefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE before (possibly re-)defining it
in tools/lib/api.

v2 applies cleanly on top of already pulled kbuild changes for 4.1-rc1.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core kernel changes:

   - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
     to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
     by the kernel) to kprobes.

     This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
     that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
     (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
     allow unprivileged use as well.)

     (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
     allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
     sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

     This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
     events with external events that were measured with different
     clocks:

       - cluster wide profiling

       - for system wide tracing with user-space events,

       - JIT profiling events

     etc.  Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
     the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

     (Peter Zijlstra)

  Hardware enablement kernel changes:

   - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
     on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

     The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
     ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
     to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
     necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

     This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
     A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
     driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
     More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
     will probably be ready by 4.2.

   - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
     feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
     allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

     These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
     driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events.  (The
     partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
     as a cgroup extension.)

     Waskiewicz Jr)

   - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
     feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
     tooling support.  To activate this feature you have to enable it
     via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

        perf record --call-graph lbr
        perf report

     or:

        perf top --call-graph lbr

     This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
     based unwinding, but has some limitations:

       - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
         branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

       - It is only available for user-space callchains.

   - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
     event table fixes for earlier models.

     (Andi Kleen)

   - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds.  This is a complex
     CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
     value corruption.  The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
     is transparent.

     (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

  The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
  I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
  the tooling changes outlined above:

  User visible changes affecting all tools:

      - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
      - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
      - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
      - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
      - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  User visible changes in individual tools:

    'perf data':

        New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
        for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
        Sebastian Siewior)

    'perf diff':

        Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

    'perf list':

        Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

        Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

    'perf kmem':

        Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

        Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

        Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

        Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

    'perf probe':

        Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

    'perf record':

        Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

        Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

    'perf sched':

        Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

    'perf report' and 'perf top':

        Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
        TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

        Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
        cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
        events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

    'perf stat':

        Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

        Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

    'perf trace':

        Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
        be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
        place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
  split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

3201f0dc42 tools lib traceevent: Honor operator priority
Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a
right operand.  But it could result in priority inversion in case that
the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower.

For example, following print format is from new kmem events.

  "page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0)

But this was treated as below:

  REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority.
But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was
always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation.

With this patch, it can handle it properly like following:

  ((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

7c27f78a29 tools lib traceevent: Zero should not be considered "not found" in eval_flag()
Guilherme Cox found that:

 There is, however, a potential bug if there is an item with code zero
 that is not the first one in the symbol list, since eval_flag(..)
 returns 0 when it doesn't find anything.

That is, if you have the following enums:

enum {
  FOO_START = 0,
  FOO_GO    = 1,
  FOO_END   = 2
}

and then have:

  __print_symbolic(foo, FOO_GO, "go", FOO_START, "start",
		        FOO_END, "end")

If none of the enums are known to pevent, then eval_flag() will return
zero, and it will match it to the first item in the list, which would be
FOO_GO, which is not zero.

Luckily, in most cases, the first element would be zero, and the parsing
would match out of sheer luck.

bbedb17994 tracing: %pF is only for function pointers
Use %pS for actual addresses, otherwise you'll get bad output
on arches like ppc64 where %pF expects a function descriptor.
