9c2b957db1 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

 - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
   the tooling side, on CPUs that support it.  (modern x86 Intel CPUs
   with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

   This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
   branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
   regular, function histogram centric profiles.

   The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
   looks like this in perf report:

	$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

	$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
	    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
	    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
	    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
	     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
	     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

   This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
   percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e.  the most likely taken
   branches in the system.  "branches" can also include function calls
   and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
   instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
   calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

   This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
   support in perf report.

 - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
   It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
   you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
   improvements.

 - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
   stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

	perf top -p 21483,21485
	perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
	perf record -p 21483,21485

 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
   report, etc.  For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
   tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

 - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
   factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
   generic facility:

	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

	...

	if (static_key_false(&key))
	        do unlikely code
	else
	        do likely code

	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...

   The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
   little impact to the likely code path as possible.  the
   static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

   This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
   micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
   usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

 - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

 - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
   smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
   smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
   better, etc.

 - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
   and a corner case bugfix.

 - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

 - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
   self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
   system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

 - 'perf bench' improvements

 - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
   these features possible.  And, as usual this list is incomplete as
   there were also lots of other improvements

eae7a755ee perf tools, x86: Build perf on older user-space as well
On ancient systems I get this build failure:

  util/../../../arch/x86/include/asm/unistd.h:67:29: error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
  In file included from util/cache.h:7,

  perf.h:170: error: ‘__NR_perf_event_open’ undeclared (first use in this function)

The reason is that this old system does not have the split
unistd.h headers yet, from which to pick up the syscall
definitions.

Add the syscall numbers to the already existing i386 and x86_64
blocks in perf.h, and also provide empty include file stubs.

With this patch perf builds and works fine on 5 years old
user-space as well.

e7f01d1e3d perf tools: Use scnprintf where applicable
Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of
characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space.

Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from
the kernel sources.

Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.

b832796caa perf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGV
I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.

The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
went wrong?

The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
written:

    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
...
    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);

Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
lot of stack to trample.

This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.

I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

8aa8a7c80c perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()
This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in
tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory
error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched:

 $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
 [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ]
 Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list

It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the
tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough
to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more.

The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more
reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n
terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit
character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between
each read.

This patch chanegs the logic of the -b, --branch-stack options
of perf record.

Based on users' request, the patch provides a default filter
mode with the -b (or --branch-any) option.  With the option,
any type of taken branches is sampled.

With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any
valid combination of branch types and privilege levels
if supported by the underlying hardware.

The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any.

 $ perf record -b foo

or:

 $ perf record --branch-filter any foo

For more specific filtering:

 $ perf record --branch-filter ind_call,u foo

114382a0ae perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs
This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data
files.  Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE
signature.

For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but
without comparing their header->attr_size with the
tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use
a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era.

We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find
a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file
format".

This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.

69996df486 perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev
This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated
using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size,
i.e., a different ABI version.

The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with
older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with
a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than
what it knows about.

This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a
perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its
advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf
knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct
is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is
skipped.

b50311dc2a perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling
This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other
words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather
than executed instructions addresses.

The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To
generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been
obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch
filter option.

The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches
where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first
column refer to the total number of branches captured and
not the usual number of samples.

Here is a quick example.
Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows:

void f2(void)
{}
void f3(void)
{}
void f1(unsigned long n)
{
  if (n & 1UL)
    f2();
  else
    f3();
}
int main(void)
{
  unsigned long i;

  for (i=0; i < N; i++)
   f1(i);
  return 0;
}

Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are
only interested in user level function calls.

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main()
-> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares
between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected
given the code.

It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not
eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a
typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply
not using its -b option.

It is possible to sort on branch related columns:

   - dso_from, symbol_from
   - dso_to, symbol_to
   - mispredict

bdfebd848f perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch
This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack
sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature
of perf_events.

There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.

The following filters are available:

 - any : any type of branches
 - any_call : any function call or system call
 - any_ret : any function return or system call return
 - any_ind : any indirect branch
 - u:  only when the branch target is at the user level
 - k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
 - hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor

Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

41c21a6830 perf evlist: Restore original errno after open failed
If perf_evsel__open() failed, the errno was set and returned properly.

However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of
evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by
other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing
different error message and getting confused.

Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the
function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno
internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than
using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a
python expert :)

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from
a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended
location.  (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though
size of do_fork is ~904).

My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

586c6e7013 While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the
make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was tesing
 it against had a config that would not build. But the make_min_config
 only tested the testing part and ignored build failures. The end result
 was a config file that would not boot.
 
 This time, for real.

bf1c95abaf ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails
The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails,
resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails,
it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built
kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may
be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that
succeeded to be built.

If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the
configs that were disabled may still be needed.

6b1bee9035 perf tools: fix broken perf record -a mode
The following commit:
b52956c perf tools: Allow multiple threads or processes in record, stat, top

introduced a bug in the thread_map code which caused perf record -a to
not setup system-wide monitoring properly.

$ taskset -c 1 noploop 1000 &
$ perf record -a -C 1 sleep 10
$ perf report -D | tail -20
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       4413
            MMAP events:       4025
            COMM events:        340
          SAMPLE events:         48

Here I was expecting about 10,000 samples and not 48.

In system-wide mode, the PID passed to perf_event_open() must be -1 and
it was 0. That caused the kernel to setup a per-process event on PID:0.
Consequently, the number of samples captured does not correspond to the
requested measurement.

The following one-liner fixes the problem for me with or without -C.

I would also suggest to change the malloc() to something that matches
the struct definition. thread_map->map[] is declared as int map[] and
not pid_t map[]. If map[] can only contain pids, then change the struct
definition.

a5a178e1ae perf tools: Allow expressions in __print_symbolic() fields
The __print_symbolic() function takes a sequence of key-value pairs for
pretty-printing a constant.  The new kvm:kvm_exit print fmt uses the
expression:

  __print_symbolic(..., { 0x040 + 1, "DB excp" }, ...)

Currently only atoms are supported and this print fmt fails to parse.
This patch adds support for expressions instead of just atoms so that
0x040 + 1 is parsed successfully.  Also add arg_num_eval() support for
the '+' operator.

808e122630 perf tools: Invert the sample_id_all logic
Instead of requiring that users of perf_record_opts set
.sample_id_all_avail to true, just invert the logic, using
.sample_id_all_missing, that doesn't need to be explicitely initialized
since gcc will zero members ommitted in a struct initialization.

Just like the newly introduced .exclude_{guest,host} feature test.

0c9781280f perf tools: Handle kernels that don't support attr.exclude_{guest,host}
Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.

If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.

7e1ccd3804 perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size
The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized in all cases because it
captures the ABI version.

This patch moves the initialization of the field from the
perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper location in the
event_attr_init().
