Commit f01642e491 ("perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for
metricgroup") introduced support for multiple events in a metric group.
But with the current upstream, metric events names are not printed
properly
In power9 platform:
command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
1.000208486
2.000368863
2.001400558
Similarly in skylake platform:
command:./perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
1.000579994
2.002189493
With current upstream version, issue is with event name comparison logic
in find_evsel_group(). Current logic is to compare events belonging to a
metric group to the events in perf_evlist. Since the break statement is
missing in the loop used for comparison between metric group and
perf_evlist events, the loop continues to execute even after getting a
pattern match, and end up in discarding the matches.
Incase of single metric event belongs to metric group, its working fine,
because in case of single event once it compare all events it reaches to
end of perf_evlist.
Example for single metric event in power9 platform:
command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M branches_per_inst -I 1000 sleep 1
1.000094653 0.2
1.001337059 0.0
This patch fixes the issue by making sure once we found all events
belongs to that metric event matched in find_evsel_group(), we
successfully break from that loop by adding corresponding condition.
With this patch:
In power9 platform:
command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2

Some of the functions calling get_cpuid() propagate back the error it
returns, and all are using errno (positive) values, make the weak
default get_cpuid() function return ENOSYS to be consistent and to allow
checking if this is an arch not providing this function or if a provided
one is having trouble getting the cpuid, to decide if the warning should
be provided to the user or just a debug message should be emitted.

I forgot to fill in the map_symbol->maps field in append_inlines() which
then makes code down the line segfault when trying to deref it.
It doesn't make any sense to have an addr_location with its 'map' member
not NULL while its 'maps' is NULL, after all al->maps is where al->map
is in.
It is done that way so that we don't have to have in each 'struct map' a
pointer to the 'struct maps' it is in, as we had in the past when we
would have 'map->mg', before 'struct maps' was combined with 'struct
map_groups', because there was always a one-to-one relationship for
these structs.
This fixes a segfault when processing DWARF callgraphs in 'perf report'.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.
An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.
Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

Add support for dumping, queuing and decoding AUX area samples. Decoding
samples is the same as regular decoding, except in the case where there
are no timestamps, in which case buffers are decoded immediately before

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.
However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.
For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by
the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine
whether the kernel supports it.
Committer notes:
I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the
required bits:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation:
----
perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass
the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the
return value and errno.
----
After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is
added:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'

line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area

Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

This patch supports jumping from tui total cycles view to symbol source
view.
For example,
perf record -b ./div
perf report --total-cycles
In total cycles view, we can select one entry and press 'a' or press
ENTER key to jump to symbol source view.
This patch also sets sort_order to NULL in cmd_report() which will use
the default branch sort order. The percent value in new annotate view
will be consistent with the percent in annotate view switched from perf
report (we observed the original percent gap with previous patches).

And take it into account when looking up DSOs when we have the dso_id
fields obtained from somewhere, like from PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 records.
Instances of struct map pointing to the same DSO pathname but with
anything in dso_id different are in fact different DSOs, so better have
different 'struct dso' instances to reflect that. At some point we may
want to get copies of the contents of the different objects if we want
to do correct annotation or other analysis.

And this patch highlights where these fields are being used: in the sort
order where it uses it to compare maps and classify samples taking into
account not just the DSO, but those DSO id fields.
I think these should be used to differentiate DSOs with the same name
but different 'struct dso_id' fields, i.e. these fields should move to
'struct dso' and then be used as part of the key when doing lookups for
DSOs, in addition to the DSO name.

Trace a magic number as immediate value if the target variable is not

This feature is good for the case if you trace a source code line with

some of the variables are optimized out on some instructions.
Even if so, with this feature, perf probe trace a magic number instead

Support multiprobe event if the event is based on function and lines and
kernel supports it. In this case, perf probe creates the first probe
with an event, and tries to append following probes on that event, since
those probes must be on the same source code line.
Before this patch;
# perf probe -a vfs_read:18
Added new events:
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)
probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18_1 -aR sleep 1
#
After this patch (on multiprobe supported kernel)
# perf probe -a vfs_read:18
Added new events:
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18 -aR sleep 1
