1491a63218 perf evlist: Renane set_filters method to apply_filters
Because that is what it really does, i.e. it applies the filters that
were parsed from the command line and stashed into the evsels they refer
to.

We'll need the set_filter method name to actually apply a filter to all
the evsels in an evlist, for instance, to ask that a syswide tracer
doesn't trace itself.

63dab225f3 perf evlist: Rename __group method to __set_leader
Just like was done for parse_events__set_leader.

Also we need to have the list_entry set_leader method in evlist.c so that we
don't grow another dep in the python binding:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):

     import perf
 ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: parse_events__set_leader

And also remove a pr_debug from evsel.c so that we avoid this one too:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):

6a4bb04caa perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
  # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
   -e instructions ls

  # 1 group
  # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
   -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

  # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

0983cc0dbc perf tools: Fix trace events storms due to weight demux
Trace events have a period (weight) of 1 by default. This can be
overriden on events definition by using the __perf_count() macro.

For example, the sched_stat_runtime() is weighted with the runtime of
the task that fired the event.

By default, perf handles such weighted event by dividing it into
individual events carrying a weight of 1. For example if
sched_stat_runtime is fired and the task has run 5000000 nsecs, perf
divides it into 5000000 events in the buffer.

This behaviour makes weighted events unusable because they quickly
fullfill the buffers and we lose most events.

The commit 5d81e5cfb3 ("events: Don't
divide events if it has field period") solves this problem by sending
only one event when PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD flag is set. The weight is
carried in the sample itself such that we don't need to demultiplex it
anymore.

This patch provides the last missing piece to use this feature by
setting PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD from perf tools when we deal with trace
events.

da3789628f perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list
The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static
and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files
use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into
session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single
global pevent variable and use the per session one.

Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not
interested at all in what is present in the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis,
just in what is in the perf.data file.

This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that
is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint
events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a
perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

79695e1bb6 perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host}
When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.

When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.

Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).

That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.

I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:

  $ perf stat usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

879d77d0cb Revert 'perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map'
The commit 55261f4670 ("perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map") changed
to create a per-task event when no cpu target is specified. However it
caused a problem since perf-task do not allow event inheritance due to
scalability issues so that the result will contain samples only from
parent, not from its children.

So we should use perf-task-per-cpu events anyway to get the right
result. Revert it.

aa22dd4990 perf target: Rename functions to avoid double negation
Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because
it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with
negation.

The names are came out from David Ahern.  It is intended to be a
mechanical substitution without any functional change.

The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right
name and it is hardly used with negation.

55261f4670 perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map
Currently, 'perf record -- sleep 1' creates a cpu map for all online
cpus since it turns out calling cpu_map__new(NULL). Fix it.

Also it is guaranteed that cpu_list is NULL if PID/TID is given by
calling perf_target__validate(), so we can make the conditional bit
simpler.

This also fixes perf test 7 (Validate) failure on my 6 core machine:

  $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
  0-11
  $ ./perf test -v 7
   7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields:

When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu
was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will
be enabled on exec actually.

In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem
as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be
fixed anyway IMHO.

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 :)

0f82ebc452 perf evsel: Introduce config attr method
Out of the code in 'perf record', so that we can share option parsing,
etc. Eventually will be used by 'perf top', but first 'trace' will use
it.

727ab04edb perf evlist: Fix grouping of multiple events
The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.

So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.

At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

81cce8de94 perf browsers: Add live mode to the hists, annotate browsers
This allows passing a timer to be run periodically, which will update
the hists tree that then gers refreshed on the screen, just like the
Live mode (symbol entries, annotation) we already have in 'perf top
--tui'.

Will be used by the new hist_entry/hists based 'top' tool.

764e16a30a perf record: Create events initially disabled and enable after init
perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().

For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).

perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

cc2d86b04d perf evlist: Fix missing event name init for default event
When no event is given to perf record, perf top, a default event is
initialized (cycles). However, perf_evlist__add_default() was not
setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because
it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not
have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly.

This second version improves the code flow on the non error path.

4152ab377b perf evlist: Introduce 'disable' method
To remove the last case of access to the FD() macro outside the library.

Inspired by a patch by Borislav that moved the FD() macro to util.h, for
namespace concerns I rather preferred to constrain it to ev{sel,list}.c.

c2a70653af perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size
