By using a mutex just for inserting and rotating two hist_entry rb
trees, so that when sorting we can get the last batch of entries created
from the ring buffer, merge it with whatever we have processed so far
and show the output while new entries are being added.
The 'report' tool continues, for now, to do it without threading, but
will use this in the future to allow visualization of results in long
perf.data sessions while the entries are being processed.
The new 'top' tool will be the first user.

I couldnt see anything wrong in the caller, so fixed it in
stddev_stats(). ISTM that 0.00 is better than nan, since perf stat was
passed -A (--no-aggr) so no standard deviation should be expected, and
nan is suggestive of a deeper error.
When running with --no-aggr, perhaps we should suppress the statistics
printing entirely, or do so when they are 0.00.

The fix is to use proper pointer to the raw data instead of the 'u'

GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives -
breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much
fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss
of having to type WERROR=0.
Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on
some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without
worrying about harmless warnings.

Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can
be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of
20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would
thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples
without symbols.
This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as
encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared.
This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position.

Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and
the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC
the pid/tid fields show:
rsyslogd 1210/1212
and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows:
rsyslogd 1212/1210
The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is
perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data
struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled
individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed,
the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when
the sample is parsed and do the proper swap.
The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge
of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU
PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields.
v3 -> v4:
- fixed use of WARN_ONCE
v2 -> v3:
- used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data
- removed struct wrapper around union
- fixed whitespace issues
v1 -> v2:
- added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on
u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3)

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:
...
60.20% [H] 0x33d43c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.
The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:
...
57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
0.65% [H] 0x33d43c
So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.
I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
...
16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8
7.25% [.] 0x422460
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.82% [.] 0x532908
2.64% [.] 0x36b538
0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:
if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
return 0;
On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:
ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.
If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:
...
39.12% [.] 0x36b538
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

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.

kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end
of the previous symbol to the start of the current one.
Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg:
ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq [e1000e]
ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers [e1000e]
Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length
larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output.
We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so
use that instead.

64bit PowerPC debuginfo files have an empty function descriptor section.
I hit a SEGV when perf tried to use this section for symbol resolution.
To fix this we need to check the section is valid and we can do this by

Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail.
To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since
"ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which
always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't
call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an
event with arguments.
This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0
(or not negative).
This regression has been introduced by my previous patch, f182e3e1.

This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat into a
file. You could do this with perf record but not with perf stat.
Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save the counts into a
separate file.
The patch also adds the --append option so that results can be
concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of the tool is
clearly separated by a comment line starting with a hash mark. The -A
option of perf record is already used by perf stat, so we only add a
long option.
$ perf stat -o res.txt date
$ cat res.txt
Performance counter stats for 'date':
0.791306 task-clock # 0.668 CPUs utilized
2 context-switches # 0.003 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec

The option can be combined with -x to make the output file much easier
to parse.

This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
- --no-source : Do not interleave source code with assembly code
We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.
Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.
Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.
Without the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'
With the patch:

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.

With gcc4.6, some instances of concrete inlined function looks redundant
and broken, because it appears inside of a concrete instance and its
call_file and call_line are same as the original abstruct's decl_file
and decl_line respectively.
e.g.
[ d1aa] subprogram
external (flag) Yes
name (strp) "add_timer"
decl_file (data1) 2 ;here is original
decl_line (data2) 847 ;line and file
prototyped (flag) Yes
inline (data1) inlined (1)
sibling (ref4) [ d1c6]
...
[ 11d84] subprogram
abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1aa] ; concrete instance
low_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000246f <add_timer>
high_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000248b <mod_timer_pending>
frame_base (block1) [ 0] call_frame_cfa
sibling (ref4) [ 11dd9]
[ 11d9f] formal_parameter
abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1b9]
location (data4) location list [ 701b]
[ 11da8] inlined_subroutine
abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1aa] ; redundant instance
low_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000247e <add_timer+0xf>
high_pc (addr) .text+0x0000000000002480 <add_timer+0x11>
call_file (data1) 2 ; call line and file
call_line (data2) 847 ; are same as above
Those redundant instances leads unwilling results;
e.g. find probe points inside of functions even if we specify
a function entry as below;
$ perf probe -V add_timer
Available variables at add_timer
@<add_timer+0>
struct timer_list* timer
@<add_timer+15>
(No matched variables)
So, this filters out those redundant instances based on call-site and
decl-site information.

gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.
Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.
e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
@<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
struct task_group* tg
perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of
sched_group_rt_period().
With this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
@<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
struct task_group* tg
@<sched_group_rt_period+0>
struct task_group* tg
Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or
global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate
scopes.
e.g., in the following code,
int var1;
void inline infunc(int i)
{
i++; <--- [A]
}
void func(void)
{
int var1, var2;
infunc(var2);
}
At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user
mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current
logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func()
scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not
be what user expects.
So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile
unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find
given variable in local scope.
E.g.
Without this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars
With this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars
Check the diff:
$ diff without.vars with.vars
88d87
< int cpu
133d131
< long unsigned int* switch_count
These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of
pre_schedule().

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)

2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
}
However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
int cpu
long unsigned int* switch_count
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev
This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev

Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function
call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line
walker.
The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or
inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE.
If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on
lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on
direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined
function which directly called from given subprogram.
On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means
that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included
in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all
subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined
functions.
Without this patch:
$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157
</home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151>
static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
{
154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
}
With this:
$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157

152 static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
{
154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
}
As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared
lines as probe-able.

If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another
machine using:
on server A:
perf archive
on server B:
tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report"
command on server B.
The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization,
while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing.
The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for
kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id
processing.
Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit:

populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which
is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID.
This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid
value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value.
- Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34
and reported back on x86_64 current kernel.
- Not tested for guest kernel case.
Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that
does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are
misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we
can do about that.

In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.
"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.

Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.
The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:
# ./perf stat -e krava ls
The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.
Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache
event.

Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.
E.g)
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
-a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
Add new events:
probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.
This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.
The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.
v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
- Added -c to perf script
- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
- Update documentation
v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

As for newt ui, don't display entries that have been marked
as ignored.
The practical current effect of this is to make parent
filtering really working. Before, entries that were ignored
were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.
Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.
The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.
Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.
Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.
builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.
Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

[ Fixed perf_event__names[] alignment which was nearby and hurting my eyes ... ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Commit eac9eacee1 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.
However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...
To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

Ensure the size of the dynamic fields such as callchains
or raw events don't overlap the whole event boundaries.
This prevents from dereferencing junk if the given size of

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Right now we display this by default:
0.202204 task-clock-msecs # 0.282 CPUs
0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
85 page-faults # 0.420 M/sec
The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an
event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'.
So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events
to be idempotent.
( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. )

Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".
The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.
This patch changes the code to be more informative:
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers
And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

We currently fail on something like '-e CPU-migrations', with:
invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'
While 'CPU-migrations' is how we actually print out the event
in the default perf stat output:
Performance counter stats for 'true':
0.202204 task-clock-msecs # 0.282 CPUs
0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
So change the matching to be case-insensitive.

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type
in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not
present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from
older kernel) the field is removed from the output list.
Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies
-f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym
the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events
(ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).
Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather
than for each sample.

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:
python{,-config}
The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.
However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:
python2{,-config}
Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.
This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.
In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

perf stat doesn't mmap and its perfectly fine for it to use task-bound
counters with inheritance.
So set the attr.inherit on the caller and leave the syscall itself to
validate it.
When the mmap fails perf_evlist__mmap will just emit a warning if this
is the failure reason.

In hists browser, press hotkey 'a' to annotate current symbol.
Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol.
Here are 2 small bugs:
- In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed
is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map.
- In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not
before getting annotation structure.
This patch fixes above 2 small bugs.

perf probe: Fix to ensure function declared file
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.
- If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.
- If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
from the function entry.
- If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
be 0).
- If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.
- If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
(non-inlined) function.

The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.
However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.
Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.
Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

Allow:
perf script -f <fields>
to be equivalent to:
perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields>
i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string
is not given.
The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later
usage can reset a prior request. e.g.,
-f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym
The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second
invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is
given to the user:
"Overriding previous field request for all events."
Alternativey, consider the order:
-f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace:
The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace
events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result
of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given
fields.
For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event
type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that
type. For example:
perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring.
'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring.
Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an
error. For example:
perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
'trace' not valid for software events.
At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits.
Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.
We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
"struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
potentially unaligned.
So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()

Perf can't currently trace into the vsyscall page. It looks like it was
meant to work.
Tested on 2.6.38 and today's -git.
The bug is easy to reproduce. Compile this:
int main()
{
int i;
struct timespec t;
for(i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
return 0;
}
and run it through perf record; perf report. The top entry shows
"[unknown]" and you can't zoom in.
It looks like there are two issues. The first is a that a test for user
mode executing in kernel space is backwards. (That's the first hunk
below). The second (I think) is that something's wrong with the code
that generates lots of little struct dso objects for different sections
-- when it runs on vmlinux it results in bogus long_name values which
cause objdump to fail.

The a1645ce1 changeset:
"perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host"
Added a field to struct build_id_event that broke the file format.
Since the kernel build-id is the first entry, process the table using
the old format if the well known '[kernel.kallsyms]' string for the
kernel build-id has the first 4 characters chopped off (where the pid_t
sits).

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.
Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

builtin-top.c has an uninitialized variable.
gcc(version 4.5.1) warns about it and it results in build failure:
builtin-top.c: In function 'display_thread':
builtin-top.c:518:9: error: 'counter' may be used uninitialized
This situation can indeed trigger, if the getline() call in
prompt_integer() fails.

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
versions, gives a usable version number.

ring-buffer: Remove unused #include <linux/trace_irq.h>
tracing: Add an 'overwrite' trace_option.
...
Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:
return ret < 0 ?: 0;
For the following reason:
util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]
And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).
Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.
Examples (output compressed)
1. trace, default format
perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script
swapper 0 [000] 537.037184: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0...
sshd 1675 [000] 537.037309: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675...
netstat 1692 [001] 537.038664: sched_switch: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692...
2. trace, custom format
perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script -f comm,pid,time,trace <--- omitting cpu and event name
swapper 0 537.037184: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 ...

The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it
cross the size parameter. So passing enough events via '-e' parameter
will cause segmentation fault.
It's reproduced by following command:
perf top -e `perf list | grep Tracepoint | awk -F'[' '\
{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\
for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check
and returns actuall number of printed characters.

kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms]. Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.
Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.
More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.
But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.
