It takes some time to look for inline stack for callgraph addresses. So
it provides new option "--inline" to let user decide if enable this
feature.
--inline:
If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack
will be printed. Each entry is the inline function name or file/line.

It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the inline stack
for a given callgraph address. This would simplify finding the right
code in code that does a lot of inlining.
The srcline.c has contained the code which supports to translate the
address to filename:line_nr. This patch just extends the function to let
it support getting the inline stacks.
It introduces the inline_list which will store the inline function
result (filename:line_nr and funcname).
If BFD lib is not supported, the result is only filename:line_nr.

Introduce dso__name() and filename_split() out of existing code because
these codes will be used in several places in next patch.
For filename_split(), it may also solve a potential memory leak in
existing code. In existing addr2line(),
sep = strchr(filename, ':');
if (sep) {
*sep++ = '\0';
*file = filename;
*line_nr = strtoul(sep, NULL, 0);
ret = 1;
}
out:
pclose(fp);
return ret;
If sep is NULL, filename is not freed or returned via file.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.
Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.
We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.
Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.
Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.
Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.
There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.
This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"
v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser
Committer note:
The v2 patch had:
%define api.pure full
In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:
%pure-parser
Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.
I added:
CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w
To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a
prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal
aliases now.
This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For
example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../
and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.
This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and
also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.
Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.
This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

But it uses grep -v "filename" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello" in the objdump
command to remove the first line containing file name and file format
("/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"):
Before:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello
But this causes a side effect, removing filename:linenr too, because the
object file and source file have the same name e.g. "/home/taueng/hello",
"/home/taeung/hello.c"
So more do a better match by using grep -v as below to correctly remove
that first line:
"/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"
After:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello:

An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed
to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts
the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format.
As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will
skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format.
Here are the results:
$ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle
$ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt
$ perf script

During a "perf buildid-cache --add" command, the section ".note.stapsdt"
of the "added" binary is scanned in order to list the available SDT

were left unscanned.
The whole section is now parsed; the probe arguments are extracted for

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event,
it returns errno, eg,
-bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $?
Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist.
Error: Failed to delete events.
255
But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from
previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again,
eg,
-bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $?
"xxx" does not hit any event.
Error: Failed to delete events.
254
And it is more appropriate to return -ENOENT instead of -EPERM.

There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes
beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long and
sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition of sdt
marker

from file

arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8
'perf probe' fails with segfault for such markers. As the uprobe_events
file accepts definitions up to 4094 characters(4096 - 2 (\n\0)),
increase value of MAX_CMDLEN match that.

This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints
a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their
PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether):
Warning:
AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8!
Are you running a KVM guest in the background?
Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up
exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process:
Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0
will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices.
Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with
vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the
above example).
Currently this is the only reason for partial records.

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.
This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.
This is good enough for pattern matching.
This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).
% perf record -b ...
% perf script -F brstackinsn

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.
Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.
The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.
An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

Added hint about how to get suitable perf.data files for use with

We use those in tools/arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S, in turn used
in the 'perf bench mem' benchmarks.
The changes in the following csets are not relevant for this usecase,
but lets sync it to silence the diff detector in the tools build system:

Since commit:
1c5ac21a0e ("perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON")
... PT events depend on re-scheduling to get enabled after a VMX session
has taken place. This is, in particular, a problem for CPU context events,
which don't normally get re-scheduled, unless there is a reason.
This patch changes the VMX handling so that PT event gets re-enabled
when VMX root mode exits.
Also, notify the user when there's a gap in PT data due to VMX root
mode by flagging AUX records as partial.
In combination with vmm_exclusive=0 parameter of the kvm_intel driver,
this will result in trace gaps only for the duration of the guest's
timeslices.

The Intel PT driver needs to be able to communicate partial AUX transactions,
that is, transactions with gaps in data for reasons other than no room
left in the buffer (i.e. truncated transactions). Therefore, this condition
does not imply a wakeup for the consumer.
To this end, add a new "partial" AUX flag.

In preparation for adding more flags to perf AUX records, introduce a
separate API for setting the flags for a session, rather than appending
more bool arguments to perf_aux_output_end. This allows to set each
flag at the time a corresponding condition is detected, instead of
tracking it in each driver's private state.
