By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.
Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.
Further comments by peterz:
So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?
As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

Usage example:

Works for any tool that does callchain resolving and provides a
--max-stack option.

When introducing the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in:
5c5e854bc7 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support
A check for the number of entries parsed by sscanf was introduced that
assumed all of the 8 fields needed to be correctly parsed so that
particular /proc/pid/maps line would be considered synthesizable.
That broke anon records synthesizing, as it doesn't have the 'execname'
field.
Fix it by keeping the sscanf return check, changing it to not require
that the 'execname' variable be parsed, so that the preexisting logic
can kick in and set it to '//anon'.
This should get things like JIT profiling working again.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:
1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

Currently perf requires the -m / --mmap_pages option to be a power of 2.
To be more user friendly perf should automatically round this up to the
next power of 2.
Currently:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
--mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two.sleep: Terminated
With patch:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
rounding mmap pages size to 16384 (4 pages)
...
v2: Add bytes units to rounding message per Ingo's request. Other
suggestions (e.g., prefixing INFO) should be addressed by wrapping
pr_info to catch all instances.

When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads, as we do for exec mmaps.
Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses
perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

Now that comm strings are allocated only once and refcounted to be shared
among threads, these can now be safely compared by addresses. This

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:
1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.
As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.
2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

As the thread comm is going to be implemented by way of a more
complicated data structure than just a pointer to a string from the
thread struct, convert the readers of comm to use an accessor instead of
accessing it directly.
The accessor will be later overriden to support an enhanced comm
implementation.

Splitting -g and --call-graph for record command, so we could use '-g'
with no option.
The '-g' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind
method, which is currently the frame pointers method.
It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.
All current '-g' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.

We are using the Python scripting interface in perf to extract kernel
events relevant for performance analysis of HPC codes. We noticed that
the "perf script" call allocates a significant amount of memory (in the
order of several 100 MiB) during it's run, e.g. 125 MiB for a 25 MiB
input file:
$> perf record -o perf.data -a -R -g fp \
-e power:cpu_frequency -e sched:sched_switch \
-e sched:sched_migrate_task -e sched:sched_process_exit \
-e sched:sched_process_fork -e sched:sched_process_exec \
-e cycles -m 4096 --freq 4000
$> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py
0.84user 0.13system 0:01.92elapsed 51%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
125532maxresident)k
73072inputs+0outputs (57major+33086minor)pagefaults 0swaps
Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed
that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via
PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are
never free'd.
The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects
that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python
dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as
opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference.
Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions
is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2])
The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to
PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter
immediately after the Python function call.
This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount:
$> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py
0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
49132maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps
For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption
reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB.
The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux
3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
