ccd26741f5 perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value
Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

Sample o/p:

  $ perf --debug perf-event-open=1 record -- ls > /dev/null

Committer notes:

Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 19237
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  #

After adding that new variable to util/python.c:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 22364
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: Ok

6f7164fa23 perf report: Sort by sampled cycles percent per block for stdio
It would be useful to support sorting for all blocks by the sampled
cycles percent per block. This is useful to concentrate on the globally
hottest blocks.

This patch implements a new option "--total-cycles" which sorts all
blocks by 'Sampled Cycles%'. The 'Sampled Cycles%' is the percent:

 percent = block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles

Note that, this patch only supports "--stdio" mode.

For example,

  # perf record -b ./div
  # perf report --total-cycles --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 2M of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 2753248
  #
  # Sampled Cycles%  Sampled Cycles  Avg Cycles%  Avg Cycles                             [Program Block Range]      Shared Object

Committer testing:

This should provide material for hours of endless joy, both from looking
for suspicious things in the implementation of this patch, such as the
top one:

As well from things that look legit:

 v7:
 ---
 Use use_browser in report__browse_block_hists for supporting
 stdio and potential tui mode.

 v6:
 ---
 Create report__browse_block_hists in block-info.c (codes are
 moved from builtin-report.c). It's called from
 perf_evlist__tty_browse_hists.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Move all block functions to block-info.c

 2. Move the code of setting ms in block hist_entry to
    other patch.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Use new option '--total-cycles' to replace
    '-s total_cycles' in v3.

 2. Move block info collection out of block info
    printing.

 v3:
 ---
 1. Use common function block_info__process_sym to
    process the blocks per symbol.

 2. Remove the nasty hack for skipping calculation
    of column length

 3. Some minor cleanup

6d57581659 perf record: Add support for limit perf output file size
The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.

In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.

Testing it:

  # ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M
  Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
  [ perf record: perf size limit reached (10249 KB), stopping session ]
  [ perf record: Woken up 32 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 10.133 MB perf.data (71964 samples) ]

  # ls -lh perf.data
  -rw------- 1 root root 11M Oct 22 14:32 perf.data

  # ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10K
  [ perf record: perf size limit reached (10 KB), stopping session ]
  Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.546 MB perf.data (69 samples) ]

  # ls -l perf.data
  -rw------- 1 root root 1626952 Oct 22 14:36 perf.data

Committer notes:

Fixed the build in multiple distros by using PRIu64 to print u64 struct
members, fixing this:

  builtin-record.c: In function 'record__write':
  builtin-record.c:150:5: error: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]
       rec->bytes_written >> 10);

eeb399b531 perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory
Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

  $ sudo perf record --kcore uname

  $ sudo tree perf.data
  perf.data
  ├── kcore_dir
  │   ├── kallsyms
  │   ├── kcore
  │   └── modules
  └── data

46e201efa1 perf data: Support single perf.data file directory
Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
	perf.data
	└── data

Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.

Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.

This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

a7f6c8c81a perf list: Hide deprecated events by default
There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.

Deprecated events are old names of renamed events.  When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.

So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".

With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.

dd071024bf perf stat: Support --all-kernel/--all-user
'perf record' has supported --all-kernel / --all-user to configure all
used events to run in kernel space or run in user space. But 'perf stat'
doesn't support these options.

It would be useful to support these options in 'perf stat' too to keep
the same semantics available in both tools.

cebf7d51a6 perf diff: Report noisy for cycles diff
This patch prints the stddev and hist for the cycles diff of program
block. It can help us to understand if the cycles is noisy or not.

This patch is inspired by Andi Kleen's patch:

  https://lwn.net/Articles/600471/

We create new option '--cycles-hist'.

Example:

  perf record -b ./div
  perf record -b ./div
  perf diff -c cycles

 v8:
 ---
 Rebase to perf/core branch

 v7:
 ---
 1. v6 got Jiri's ACK.
 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.

 v6:
 ---
 1. Jiri provides better code for using data__hpp_register() in ui_init().
    Use this code in v6.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Refine the use of data__hpp_register() in ui_init() according to
    Jiri's suggestion.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Rename the new option from '--noisy' to '--cycles-hist'
 2. Remove the option '-n'.
 3. Only update the spark value and stats when '--cycles-hist' is enabled.
 4. Remove the code of printing '..'.

 v3:
 ---
 1. Move the histogram to a separate column
 2. Move the svals[] out of struct stats

 v2:
 ---
 Jiri got a compile error,

  CC       builtin-diff.o
  builtin-diff.c: In function ‘compute_cycles_diff’:
  builtin-diff.c:712:10: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type ‘u64’ {aka ‘long unsigned int’} has no effect [-Werror=absolute-value]
  712 |          labs(pair->block_info->cycles_spark[i] -
      |          ^~~~

 Because the result of u64 - u64 is still u64. Now we change the type of
 cycles_spark[] to s64.

d4097f1937 perf trace: Introduce --filter for tracepoint events
Similar to what is in 'perf record', works just like there:

  # perf trace -e msr:*
   328.297 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.302 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.306 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.317 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.322 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.327 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.331 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.336 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
   328.340 :0/0 ^Cmsr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 140240388381888)
  #

So, for a system wide trace session looking at the write_msr tracepoint
we see a flood of MSR_FS_BASE, we need to get the number for that:

  # grep FS_BASE /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
	[0xc0000100 - x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset] = "FS_BASE",
  #

And then use it in a filter:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100"
  <SNIP>
   942.177 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068232)
   942.199 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3057135655252)
   942.203 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068222)
   942.231 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056998373022)
   942.241 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068236)
  <SNIP>
  #

Ok, lets filter that too, too noisy:

  # grep TSC_DEADLINE /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
	[0x000006E0] = "IA32_TSC_DEADLINE",
  #

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100 && msr!=0x6e0" -a sleep 0.1

Ok, just another form of KVM to emit MSRs :-)

Next step: elliminate those greps by getting the filter expression,
looking for arg names, then for the arrays associated with it to do a
reverse lookup.

Also allow those filters to be associated with strace-like syscall
names.

After that: augment the 'val' arg for 'msr:write_msr' based on the first
arg, 'msr'.

Then, do that with eBPF too, not just with tracepoint filters.

f11b2803bb perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments
So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
and allow the user to choose which one to use.

The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
by either using the:

    perf trace --libtraceevent_print

command line option, or by setting:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
	tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent

For instance, here are some examples:

  # perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
       0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
       0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
       0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
    1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
       0.621  ... [continued]: nanosleep())          = 0
    1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0)               = ?
    1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
  #

And then using libtraceevent, as before:

  # perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
       0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
       0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
       0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
    1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
       0.739  ... [continued]: nanosleep())          = 0
    1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0)               = ?
  #

The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
etc.

Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

2657983b4c perf docs: Correct and clarify jitdump spec
Specification claims latest version of jitdump file format is 2. Current
jit dump reading code treats 1 as the latest version.

Correct spec to match code.

The original language made it unclear the value to be written in the
magic field.

Revise language that the writer always writes the same value. Specify
that the reader uses the value to detect endian mismatches.

d586ac10ce perf docs: Allow man page date to be specified
With this change if a perf_date parameter is provided to asciidoc then
it will override the default date written to the man page metadata.

Without this change, or if the perf_date isn't specified, then the
current date is written to the metadata.

Having this parameter allows the metadata to be constant if builds
happen on different dates.

The name of the parameter is intended to be consistent with the existing
perf_version parameter.

ef4b1a539f perf report: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events
Since 'perf top' shares the histogram browser with 'perf report', then
the same explanation in the previous cset applies.

An additional example uses a pair of SDT events available for systemtap:

  # perf probe --exec=/usr/bin/stap '%*:*'
  Added new events:
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark   (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1a__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1b__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

    sdt_stap:pass4__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__get  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__clean (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__module (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__source (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

    sdt_stap:stap_system__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__spawn (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__fork (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

    sdt_stap:client__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:client__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e sdt_stap:client__end -aR sleep 1

  #

From these we're use the two below to run systemtap's test suite:

  # perf record -e sdt_stap:pass2__*,cycles:P make installcheck > /dev/null

2f53ae347f perf top: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events
Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.

The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:

- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
  a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
  histograms browser

- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
  per event.

Try for instance:

  # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv

Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:

  # perf probe icmp_rcv:59

To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

f90a24171a perf script: Allow specifying event to switch on processing of other events
Sometime we want to only consider events after something happens, so
allow discarding events till such events is found, e.g.:

Record all scheduler tracepoints and the sys_enter_nanosleep syscall
event for the 'sleep 1' workload:

  # perf record -e sched:*,syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.032 MB perf.data (10 samples) ]
  #

So we have these events in the generated perf data file:

  # perf evlist
  sched:sched_kthread_stop
  sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret
  sched:sched_waking
  sched:sched_wakeup
  sched:sched_wakeup_new
  sched:sched_switch
  sched:sched_migrate_task
  sched:sched_process_free
  sched:sched_process_exit
  sched:sched_wait_task
  sched:sched_process_wait
  sched:sched_process_fork
  sched:sched_process_exec
  sched:sched_stat_wait
  sched:sched_stat_sleep
  sched:sched_stat_iowait
  sched:sched_stat_blocked
  sched:sched_stat_runtime
  sched:sched_pi_setprio
  sched:sched_move_numa
  sched:sched_stick_numa
  sched:sched_swap_numa
  sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi
  syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep
  # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
  #

Then show all of the events that actually took place in this 'perf record' session:

  # perf script
          :13637 13637 [002] 108237.581529:            sched:sched_waking: comm=perf pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001

           sleep 13638 [001] 108237.581992:      sched:sched_process_exec: filename=/usr/bin/sleep pid=13638 old_pid=13638

ce7b0e426e perf record: Add an option to take an AUX snapshot on exit
It is sometimes useful to generate a snapshot when perf record exits;
I've been using a wrapper script around the workload that would do a
killall -USR2 perf when the workload exits.

This patch makes it easier and also works when perf record is attached
to a pre-existing task. A new snapshot option 'e' can be specified in
-S to enable this behavior:

root@elsewhere:~# perf record -e intel_pt// -Se sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.085 MB perf.data ]

db5742b684 perf stat: Support per-die aggregation
It is useful to aggregate counts per die. E.g. Uncore becomes die-scope
on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP.

Introduce a new option "--per-die" to support per-die aggregation.

The global id for each core has been changed to socket + die id + core
id. The global id for each die is socket + die id.

Add die information for per-core aggregation. The output of per-core
aggregation will be changed from "S0-C0" to "S0-D0-C0". Any scripts
which rely on the output format of per-core aggregation probably be
broken.

For 'perf stat record/report', there is no die information when
processing the old perf.data. The per-die result will be the same as
per-socket.

Committer notes:

Renamed 'die' variable to 'die_id' to fix the build in some systems:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/builtin-script.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  builtin-stat.c: In function 'perf_env__get_die':

acae8b36cd perf header: Add die information in CPU topology
With the new CPUID.1F, a new level type of CPU topology, 'die', is
introduced. The 'die' information in CPU topology should be added in
perf header.

To be compatible with old perf.data, the patch checks the section size
before reading the die information. The new info is added at the end of
the cpu_topology section, the old perf tool ignores the extra data.  It
never reads data crossing the section boundary.

The new perf tool with the patch can be used on legacy kernel. Add a new
function has_die_topology() to check if die topology information is
supported by kernel. The function only check X86 and CPU 0. Assuming
other CPUs have same topology.

Use similar method for core and socket to support die id and sibling
dies string.

53651b28cf perf record: Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only
One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new
options.

We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.

This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.

Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options:

1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
   kernel callchains.

  $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains

2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
   user callchains.

  $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains

Committer notes:

Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really
is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa.

Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both
will be excluded.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"

This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"

Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.

4fc4d8dfa0 perf stat: Support 'percore' event qualifier
With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat.

  root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000
    1.000773050 S0-C0   98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.01%)

    1.000773050 CPU1    49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU2   102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU3   100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU4    43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU5    54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU6    93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU7    74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.99%)

In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in
one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see:

  S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4
  S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5
  S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6
  S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7

So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored).

Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.

064b4e82aa perf tools: Add a 'percore' event qualifier
Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.

We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.

This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
    this new qualifier.
 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch

 v3:
 ---
 Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
 Before:
   "return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
 Now:
   "return term->val.percore;"

 v2:
 ---
 Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
 comments from Jiri and Andi.

6cf6265639 perf docs: Add description for stderr
'perf report' displays recorded data on the screen and emits warnings
and debug messages in the status line (last one on screen).

perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr
(instead of writing them to the status line).

This is achieved with the following command:

  # ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2
  # ll /tmp/2
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May  7 13:46 /tmp/2
  #

The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf
man page.

Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode

Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when
profiling matrix multiplication workload:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)

ratio - compression ratio
size  - number of bytes that was compressed

	size ~= trace size x ratio

Committer notes:

Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:

Original patch:

  # perf record -z2
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
  #

After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:

  $ perf record -z2 sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
  $ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
  Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
  <SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
  $

Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:

  $ perf record -z2 sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]
  $ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
  0 0x1b8 [0x155]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
  0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
        COMPRESSED events:          2
        COMPRESSED events:          0
  $

I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:

  $ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
  0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  0 0x1b8 [0x169]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

Implemented PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED event, related data types, header
feature and functions to write, read and print feature attributes from
the trace header section.

comp_mmap_len preserves the size of mmaped kernel buffer that was used
during collection. comp_mmap_len size is used on loading stage as the
size of decomp buffer for decompression of COMPRESSED events content.

470530bbb8 perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> option
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.

  $ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
  $ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc

The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.

The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.

The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.

Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.

Committer testing:

Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:

  # perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
  <SNIP>
     101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120
                                         __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so)
                                         ion (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                         record__write (inlined)
                                         process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                         perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
                                         perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)

Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:

     107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

  <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>

If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':

  mmap flush: 132096
  mmap size 528384B

With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.

Trying with a bigger mmap size:

   perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
   74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888
   74985.406 ( 2.353 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff949ecb000, count: 3453256) = 3453256
   74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
   74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
   74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
   74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
   74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760

Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:

  mmap flush: 2098176
  mmap size 8392704B

A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:

  "max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
   flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"

Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

af7a14a750 perf tools: Add doc about how to build perf with Asan and UBSan
AddressSanitizer (or ASan) and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (or UBSan) are
very useful tools to detect program bugs:

 - AddressSanitizer (or ASan) is a GCC feature that detects memory
   corruption bugs such as buffer overflows and memory leaks.

 - UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (or UBSan) is a fast undefined behavior
   detector supported by GCC. UBSan detects undefined behaviors of programs
   at runtime.

This patch adds a document about how to use them on perf. Later patches will fix
some of the issues disclosed by them.

75998bb263 perf stat: Fix --no-scale
The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.

It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.

Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.

This patch:
  - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
  - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
  - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
  - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

Before:

  $ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

       <not counted>      cycles

         0.000984154 seconds time elapsed

After:

  $ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             706,070      cycles

         0.001219821 seconds time elapsed

03724b2e9c perf record: Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files
When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot
on, we often only care about the last minute or so.

The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data
file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be
filled with unnecessary old files.

Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the
disk space usage can be limited.

4968ac8fb7 perf report: Implement browsing of individual samples
Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.

It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.

Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.

Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.

Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.

Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.

It uses different menus for assembler and source display.  Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.

Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

4802138d78 perf diff: Support --time filter option
To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the
samples within given time window.

It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string
format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.

For example:

Select the second 10% time slice to diff:

  perf diff --time 10%/2

Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff:

  perf diff --time 0%-10%

Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff:

  perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2

Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff:

  perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40%

It also supports analysing samples within a given time window
<start>,<stop>.

Times have the format seconds.microseconds.

If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at
the beginning of the file.

If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis
goes to end of file.

Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for
different perf.data files.

For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script.

  perf script -i perf.data.old

    mgen 13940 [000]  3946.361400: ...

  perf script -i perf.data

    mgen 13940 [000]  3971.150589 ...

  perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589,

It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of
perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the
end of perf.data.

Next step probably will be something like 'perf stat's --interval-print and
--interval-clear.

8c23a52238 perf doc: Fix documentation of the Flags section in perf.data
According to the current documentation the flags section is placed after
the file header itself but the code assumes to find the flags section
after the data section. This change updates the documentation to that
assumption.

f0fabf9c89 perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpc
PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for
the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes
"/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to
support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.

This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:

similar to strace, set this config option or use the --no_inherit 'perf
trace' option.

E.g.:

Default:

  # perf config trace.no_inherit
  # trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
     0.000 time/21107 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7f7b8f9ae810) = 21108 (time)
         ? time/21108  ... [continued]: clone()
     0.691 sleep/21108 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffed01d0540, rmtp: 0                               ) = 0
  0.00user 0.00system 0:01.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1988maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+76minor)pagefaults 0swaps
  #

Disable it:

  # trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
     0.000 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7ff41e100810) = 21414 (time)
  0.00user 0.00system 0:01.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1964maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+76minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Notice that since there is just one thread, the "comm/TID" column is
suppressed.

e7c634fcc6 perf trace: Allow configuring if zeroed syscall args should be printed
The default so far, since we show argument names followed by its values,
was to make the output more compact by suppressing most zeroed args.

Make this configurable so that users can choose what best suit their
needs.

ac96287cae perf trace: Allow specifying a set of events to add in perfconfig
To add augmented_raw_syscalls to the events speficied by the user, or be
the only one if no events were specified by the user, one can add this
to perfconfig:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
	  add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  #

I.e. pre-compile the augmented_raw_syscalls.c BPF program and make it
always load, this way:

  # perf trace -e open* cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
     0.000 ( 0.013 ms): cat/31557 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3

a761a8d102 perf trace: Allow selecting use the use of the ordered_events code
I was trigger happy on this one, as using ordered_events as implemented
by Jiri for use with the --block code under discussion on lkml incurs
in delaying processing to form batches that then get ordered and then
printed.

With 'perf trace' we want to process the events as they go, without that
delay, and doing it that way works well for the common case which is to
trace a thread or a workload started by 'perf trace'.

So revert back to not using ordered_events but add an option to select
that mode so that users can experiment with their particular use case to
see if works better, i.e. if the added delay is not a problem and the
ordering helps.

3fcb10e496 perf tools: Allow specifying proc-map-timeout in config file
The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files is too
short for profiling many of our services.

This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant
command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value.

This patch permits setting a different default with the
core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.

No change in functionality intended.

Committer notes:

This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,
additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease cherry
picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches.

In this particular case, it affects documentation, so may be interesting
to cherry pick as it is information that is presented to the user.

93f20c0fe3 perf record: Extend trace writing to multi AIO
Multi AIO trace writing allows caching more kernel data into userspace
memory postponing trace writing for the sake of overall profiling data
thruput increase. It could be seen as kernel data buffer extension into
userspace memory.

With an --aio option value different from 0 (default value is 1) the
tool has capability to cache more and more data into user space along
with delegating spill to AIO.

That allows avoiding to suspend at record__aio_sync() between calls of
record__mmap_read_evlist() and increases profiling data thruput at the
cost of userspace memory.

d3d1af6f01 perf record: Enable asynchronous trace writing
The trace file offset is read once before mmaps iterating loop and
written back after all performance data is enqueued for aio writing.

The trace file offset is incremented linearly after every successful aio
write operation.

record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of the started AIO operation
and then proceeds.

record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete
aio write requests.

121dd9ea01 perf bench: Add epoll parallel epoll_wait benchmark
This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) for file descriptors
that are monitored with with EPOLLIN along various semantics, by a
single epoll instance. Such conditions can be found when using
single/combined or multiple queuing when load balancing.

Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to the
fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of epoll_wait
not finding any ready read events and blocking as this is not what we
want to stress. Full details in the start of the C file.

cf99ad1424 perf record: Support weak groups
Implement a weak group fallback for 'perf record', similar to the
existing 'perf stat' support.  This allows to use groups that might be
longer than the available counters without failing.

Before:

  $ perf record  -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}' -a sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

  $ ./perf record  -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W' -a sleep 1
  WARNING: No sample_id_all support, falling back to unordered processing
  [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.136 MB perf.data (134069 samples) ]

218d61110f perf top: Do not use overwrite mode by default
Enabling --overwrite mode allows us to to use just the most recent
records, which helps in high core count machines such as Knights
Landing/Mill, but right now is being disabled by default as the pausing
used in this technique is leading to loss of metadata events such as
PERF_RECORD_MMAP which makes 'perf top' unable to resolve samples,
leading to lots of unknown samples appearing on the UI.

Enabling this may be useful if you are in such machines and profiling a
workload that doesn't creates short lived threads and/or doesn't uses
many executable mmap operations.

Work is being planed to solve this situation, till then, this will
remain disabled by default.

4e303fbe2d perf top: Allow disabling the overwrite mode
In ebebbf0823 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode") we
forgot to leave a way to disable that new default, add a --overwrite
option that can be disabled using --no-overwrite, since the code already
in such a way that we can readily disable this mode.

This is useful when investigating bugs with this mode like the recent
report from David Miller where lots of unknown symbols appear due to
disabling the events while processing them which disables all record
types, not just PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, which makes it impossible to resolve
maps when we lose PERF_RECORD_MMAP records.

This can be easily seen while building a kernel, when there are lots of
short lived processes.

d1b1552e15 tools script: Add --call-trace and --call-ret-trace
Add short cut options to print PT call trace and call-ret-trace, for
calls and call and returns. Roughly corresponds to ftrace function
tracer and function graph tracer.

Just makes these common use cases nicer to use.

4eb0681571 perf script: Make itrace script default to all calls
By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or
branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard
to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'.  It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.

Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'
--itrace=ibxwpe100000

v2: Fix ETM build failure
v3: Really fix ETM build failure (Kim Phillips)

b585ebdb59 perf script: Add --insn-trace for instruction decoding

5067a8cdd4 perf trace: Introduce --max-events
Allow stopping tracing after a number of events take place, considering
strace-like syscalls formatting as one event per enter/exit pair or when
in a multi-process tracing session a syscall is interrupted and printed
ending with '...'.

Examples included in the documentation:

Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here):

  $ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4
  [root@jouet perf]# trace -e open* --max-events 4
  2272.992 ( 0.037 ms): gnome-shell/1370 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 31
  2277.481 ( 0.139 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
  3026.398 ( 0.076 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
  4294.665 ( 0.015 ms): sed/15879 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  $

Trace the first minor page fault when running a workload:

  # perf trace -F min --max-stack=7 --max-events 1 sleep 1
     0.000 ( 0.000 ms): sleep/18006 minfault [__clear_user+0x1a] => 0x5626efa56080 (?k)

  $ perf report --percent-type period-local

The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
of the function (local) or the whole data (global).  The period/hits
keywords set the base the percentage is computed on - the samples period
or the number of samples (hits).

0ce2da1483 perf stat: Display user and system time
Adding the support to read rusage data once the workload is finished and
display the system/user time values:

  $ perf stat --null perf bench sched pipe
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'perf bench sched pipe':

       5.342599256 seconds time elapsed

       2.544434000 seconds user
       4.549691000 seconds sys

It works only in non -r mode and only for workload target.

So as of now, for workload targets, we display 3 types of timings. The
time we meassure in perf stat from enable to disable+period:

       5.342599256 seconds time elapsed

The time spent in user and system lands, displayed only for workload
session/target:

       2.544434000 seconds user
       4.549691000 seconds sys

Those times are the very same displayed by 'time' tool.  They are
returned by wait4 call via the getrusage struct interface.

Committer notes:

Had to rename some variables to avoid this on older systems such as
centos:6:

  builtin-stat.c: In function 'print_footer':
  builtin-stat.c:1831: warning: declaration of 'stime' shadows a global declaration

f92da71280 perf record: Enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier
Enable complex event names containing [.:=,] symbols to be encoded into Perf
trace using name= modifier e.g. like this:

  perf record -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',\
		  period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex

Below is how it looks like in the report output. Please note explicit escaped
quoting at cmdline string in the header so that thestring can be directly reused
for another collection in shell:

ffef80ecf8 perf Documentation: Support for asciidoctor
The asciidoc package seems behind the recent big wave of python3
conversion, and we were advised to switch to asciidoctor instead.  It's
almost compatible but some extensions used for perf documentation don't
work with it.  Here is the patch to cover them, and add the proper
support for asciidoctor.

Pass USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=yes to make for using asciidoctor instead of
asciidoc.  The man source and manual attributes are passed via command
options.  The support for these attributes have been fixed in the
latest asciidoctor code.

Since asciidoctor can covert to a man page and an HTML directly, we
can omit the dependency on xmlto when USE_ASCIIDOCTOR is set.

9dc9a95f03 perf stat: Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values
Currently print count interval for performance counters values is
limited by 10ms so reading the values at frequencies higher than 100Hz
is restricted by the tool.

This change makes perf stat -I possible on frequencies up to 1KHz and,
to some extent, makes perf stat -I to be on-par with perf record
sampling profiling.

When running perf stat -I for monitoring e.g. PCIe uncore counters and
at the same time profiling some I/O workload by perf record e.g. for
cpu-cycles and context switches, it is then possible to observe
consolidated CPU/OS/IO(Uncore) performance picture for that workload.

Tool overhead warning printed when specifying -v option can be missed
due to screen scrolling in case you have output to the console
so message is moved into help available by running perf stat -h.

7098467256 perf version: Add man page
Since a new option '--build-options' is created for 'perf version', so
we need to document it.

0a6545bda2 perf trace: Show only failing syscalls
For instance:

  # perf probe "vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string"
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1

  # perf trace --failure sleep 1

b74d12d598 perf tools: Add a "dso_size" sort order
Add DSO size to perf report/top sort output list.

This includes adding a map__size fn to map.h, which is
approximately equal to the DSO data file_size:

  DSO				file size	map (end-start)	file / (end-start)
  libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.24.9	43260072	41295872	95%

  libdbus-1.so.3.14.13		  309456 	  303104	102%

Sample output:

91340c5184 perf report: Introduce --ignore-vmlinux command line option
We've had this in 'perf top' for quite a while, useful if one wishes
to force using /proc/kcore to do annotation using the patched kernel
instead of the ELF image it started from, aka vmlinux.

This should be further streamlined by doing both annotations and
allowing the TUI to toggle initial/current, and show the patched
instructions in a slightly different color.

c199c11dce perf pmu: Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match
Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
events was disabled in commit 63ce844 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
that are PMU aliases).

Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:

    $ perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                86,323      cache-misses
                86,323      cache-misses

           1.002623307 seconds time elapsed

But prefix or glob matching auto-merges the events created:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                   328      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_[01]/read-miss/ sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                   172      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

As with events created with aliases, auto-merging can be suppressed with
the --no-merge option:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    63      l3cache/read-miss/
                    60      l3cache/read-miss/

b2b9d3a3f0 perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic pmu events
Starting on v4.12 event parsing code for dynamic pmu events already
supports prefix-based matching of multiple pmus when creating dynamic
events. E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:

    mypmu_0
    mypmu_1
    mypmu_2
    mypmu_4

passing mypmu/<config>/ as an event spec will result in the creation of
the event in all of the pmus. This change expands this matching through
the use of fnmatch so glob-like expressions can be used to create events
in multiple pmus. E.g., in the system described above if a user only
wants to create the event in mypmu_0 and mypmu_1, mypmu_[01]/<config>/
can be passed.

ea66536ab2 perf tools: Correct title markers for asciidoctor
I've tested to process the perf man pages with asciidoctor that is
picker than asciidoc, and it revealed minor syntax errors in some
documents.  Namely, the title markers aren't aligned with the previous
line, hence asciidoctor didn't recognize as titles.

This patch corrects these markers to be processed properly.

9ea42ba441 perf trace: Support setting cgroups as targets
One can set a cgroup as a default cgroup to be used by all events or
set cgroups with the 'perf stat' and 'perf record' behaviour, i.e.
'-G A' will be the cgroup for events defined so far in the command line.

Here in my main machine, with a kvm instance running a rhel6 guinea pig
I have:

  # ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ | grep drw
  drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 360 Mar  6 12:04 ..
  drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root   0 Mar  6 15:05 machine.slice
  #

So I can go ahead and use that cgroup hierarchy, say lets see what
syscalls are being emitted by threads in that 'machine.slice' hierarchy
that are taking more than 100ms:

  # perf trace --duration 100 -G machine.slice
     0.188 (249.850 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   250.274 (249.743 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0

  1000.244 (249.780 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1250.197 (249.796 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1500.124 (249.859 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1750.076 (172.900 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   902.570 (1021.116 ms): qemu-system-x8/23667 ppoll(ufds: 0x558151e03180, nfds: 74, tsp: 0x7ffc00cd0900, sigsetsize: 8) = 1

^C  #

If we look inside that cgroup hierarchy we get:

  # ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/machine.slice/ | grep drw
  drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar  6 15:05 .
  drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar  6 16:16 machine-qemu\x2d2\x2drhel6.sandy.scope
  #

There is just one, but lets say there were more and we would want to see
5 seconds worth of syscall summary for the threads in that cgroup:

  # perf trace --summary -G machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2d2\\x2drhel6.sandy.scope/ -a sleep 5

25f72f9ed8 perf cgroup: Simplify arguments when tracking multiple events
When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.

If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the
user must give parameters like the following:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test

This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test

  $ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup
  $ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup

Before:

     1.001007226   <not counted>      cycles	   empty_cgroup
     1.001007226           7,506      cache-misses

After:

     1.000834097   <not counted>      cycles	   empty_cgroup
     1.000834097   <not counted>      cache-misses empty_cgroup

f1f8ad52f8 perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of time
Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update
'perf stat' documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

  $ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        157,260,423      cycles

        2.003060766 seconds time elapsed

We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.

In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the
interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is
10ms.

So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms
to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a
decision according to their spcific cases.

Committer notes:

This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints
the counts.

So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to
state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time,
but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts.

The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems
where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable,
such as centos:5 and centos:6.

Changes since v3:
- none.

Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
  with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.

Changes since v1:
- none.

db06a269ec perf stat: Add support to print counts for fixed times
Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and
update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

  $ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a
  #           time             counts unit events
           1.002827089         93,884,870      cycles
           2.004231506         56,573,446      cycles

We can just print the counts for several times with this newly
introduced option. The usage of it is a little like 'vmstat', and it
should be used together with "-I" option.

  $ vmstat -n 1 2
  procs ---------memory-------------- --swap- ----io-- -system-- ------cpu---
   r  b swpd   free   buff   cache    si   so  bi   bo  in   cs us sy id wa st

Changes since v3:
- merge interval_count check and times check to one line.
- fix the wrong indent in stat.h
- use stat_config.times instead of 'times' in cmd_stat function.

Changes since v2:
- none.

Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the new option interval specifically.

ad52b8cb48 perf report: Add support to display group output for non group events
Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are
detected and user forces --group option. Now for non-group events
recorded like:

  $ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions' ls

you can still get group output by using --group option
in report:

  $ perf report --group --stdio
  ...
  #         Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
  # ................  .......  ................  ......................
  #
      17.67%   0.00%  ls       libc-2.25.so      [.] _IO_do_write@@GLIB
      15.59%  25.94%  ls       ls                [.] calculate_columns
      15.41%  31.35%  ls       libc-2.25.so      [.] __strcoll_l
  ...

Committer note:

We should improve on this by making sure that the first line states that
this is not a group, but since the user doesn't have to force group view
when really using grouped events (e.g. '{cycles,instructions}'), the
user better know what is being done...

2ab046cd01 perf script: Support time percent and multiple time ranges
perf script has a --time option to limit the time range of output.  It
only supports absolute time.

Now this option is extended to support multiple time ranges and support
the percent of time.

For example:

1. Select the first and second 10% time slices:

   perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2

2. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices:

   perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40%

Changelog:

v6: Fix the merge issue with latest perf/core branch.
    No functional changes.

v5: Add checking of first/last sample time to detect if it's recorded
    in perf.data. If it's not recorded, returns error message to user.

v4: Remove perf_time__skip_sample, only uses perf_time__ranges_skip_sample

v3: Since the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time
    are moved from perf_session to perf_evlist so change the
    related code.

68588baf8d perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().

Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.099 MB perf.data (1101 samples) ]

  #

Changelog:

v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.

v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
    on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
    to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
    once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
    calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.

    While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
    "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
    timestamp boundary calculation.

v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
    '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
    be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
    processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.

    At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
    While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
    necessary.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
    from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

6011518db3 perf header: Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time
perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of
output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing
the output of perf script for some analysis.

But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast
way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at
it.  This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace,
which is useful for parallelization of scripts

Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no
synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample
reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf
report/...  because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing
the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better.

This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and
related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the
feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for
instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all
samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further
amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf
report/script' faster when using --time.

Committer testing:

After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need
the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps:

  # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(
  22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0
  <SNIP>
  22501155793625 0x4a30 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21ffd50 period: 2828043 addr: 0
  # perf report --header | grep "time of "
  # time of first sample : 0.000000
  # time of last sample : 0.000000
  #

Changelog:

v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.

    2. Add following clarification in patch description according to
       Arnaldo's suggestion.

       "That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids,
	where we already have to process all samples to create the
	build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize
	that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make
	'perf report/script' faster when using --time."

v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with
    the printing of sample duration.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from
    perf_session. Just define them in perf_evlist

c588d15812 perf probe: Support escaped character in parser
Support the special characters escaped by '\' in parser.  This allows
user to specify versions directly like below.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1

  =====

Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3
  Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset.
    Error: Command Parse Error.
  =====

Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but

  =====

e63c625a1e perf probe: Add __return suffix for return events
Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without
this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix
for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize.
Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically.  E.g.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so 'malloc*%return'
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:malloc_printerr__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_consolidate__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_check__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

4bd1bef8bb perf script: Allow computing 'perf stat' style metrics
Add support for computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script'.

When using leader sampling we can get metrics for each sampling period
by computing formulas over the values of the different group members.

This allows things like fine grained IPC tracking through sampling, much
more fine grained than with 'perf stat'.

The metric is still averaged over the sampling period, it is not just
for the sampling point.

This patch adds a new metric output field for 'perf script' that uses
the existing 'perf stat' metrics infrastructure to compute any metrics
supported by 'perf stat'.

For example to sample IPC:

  $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles,instructions}:S' -a sleep 1
  $ perf script -F metric,ip,sym,time,cpu,comm

Extra explanation about the use of the term 'averaging', from Andi in the
thread in the Link: tag below:

<quote Andi>
The current samples contains the sum of event counts for a sampling period.

EventA-1           EventA-2                EventA-3      EventA-4
EventB-1     EventB-2                             EventC-3

                         gap with no events                overflow
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
period-start                                             period-end
^                                                                 ^
|                                                                 |
previous sample                                      current sample

So EventA = 4 and EventB = 3 at the sample point

I generate a metric, let's say EventA / EventB. It applies to the whole period.

But the metric is over a longer time which does not have the same behavior. For
example the gap above doesn't have any events, while they are clustered at the
beginning and end of the sample period.

But we're summing everything together. The metric doesn't know that the gap is
different than the busy period.

That's what I'm trying to express with averaging.

a14390fde6 perf script: Allow creating per-event dump files
Introduce a new option to dump trace output to files named by the
monitored events and update perf-script documentation accordingly.

Shown below is output of perf script command with the newly introduced
option.

         $ perf record -e cycles -e cs -ag -- sleep 1
         $ perf script --per-event-dump
         $ ls
         perf.data.cycles.dump perf.data.cs.dump

Without per-event-dump support, drawing flamegraphs for different events
would require post processing to separate events. You can monitor only
one event at a time if you want to get flamegraphs for different events.
Using this option, you can get the trace output files named by the
monitored events, and could draw flamegraphs according to the event's
name.

71b0acce78 perf list: Add metric groups to perf list
Add code to perf list to print metric groups, and metrics
that don't have an event name. The metricgroup code collects
the eventgroups and events into a rblist, and then prints
them according to the configured filters.

The metricgroups are printed by default, but can be
limited by perf list metric or perf list metricgroup

  % perf list metricgroup

  Metric Groups:

  DSB:
    DSB_Coverage
          [Fraction of Uops delivered by the DSB (aka Decoded Icache; or Uop Cache)]

b18f3e3650 perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf stat
Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).

Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.

We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.

Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.

Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist.  When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list.  Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c

The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

5a5dfe4b85 perf tools: Support weak groups in 'perf stat'
Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.

User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.

Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.

Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.

In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.

So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.

Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

  % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1

        73,806,067      branches
         4,848,144      branch-misses             #    6.57% of all branches
        14,754,458      l1d.replacement
        24,905,558      l2_lines_in.all
   <not supported>      l2_rqsts.all_code_rd         <------- will never report anything

With the weak group:

  % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1

       125,366,055      branches                                                      (80.02%)
         9,208,402      branch-misses             #    7.35% of all branches          (80.01%)
        24,560,249      l1d.replacement                                               (80.00%)
        43,174,971      l2_lines_in.all                                               (80.05%)
        31,891,457      l2_rqsts.all_code_rd                                          (79.92%)
