The PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE event (timestamp: 66702781413407) should be after the
PERF_RECORD_COMM event (timestamp: 66702727832429), but it's early processed.
So for most of cases, it makes sense to keep the event ordered even for dump
mode. But it would be also useful to disable ordered_events for reporting raw
dump to see events as they are stored in the perf.data file.
So now, set ordered_events by default to true and add a new option
'disable-order' to disable it. For example,
perf report -D --disable-order
Fixes: 977f739b71 ("perf report: Disable ordered_events for raw dump")

Add a 'ping' command to verify that the 'perf record' session is up and
operational.
It's used in the following patches via test code to make sure 'perf
record' is ready to receive signals.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Start the daemon:
# perf daemon start
Ping all sessions:
# perf daemon ping
OK cycles
OK sched
Ping specific session:
# perf daemon ping --session sched
OK sched
Committer notes:
Fixed up bug pointed by clang:
Buggy:
if (!pollfd.revents & POLLIN)
Correct code:
if (!(pollfd.revents & POLLIN))
clang warning:

Add 'lock' file under daemon base and flock it, so only one perf daemon
can run on top of it.
Each daemon tries to create and lock BASE/lock file, if it's successful
we are sure we're the only daemon running over the BASE.
Once daemon is finished, file descriptor to lock file is closed and lock
is released.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
And try once more:
# perf daemon start
failed: another perf daemon (pid 775594) owns /opt/perfdata
will end up with an error, because there's already one running
on top of /opt/perfdata.
Committer notes:
Provide lockf(F_TLOCK) when not available, i.e. transform:
lockf(fd, F_TLOCK, 0);
into:
flock(fd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB);
Which should be equivalent.
Noticed when cross building to some odd Android NDK.

Adding support to configure daemon with config file.
Each client or server invocation of perf daemon needs to know the
base directory, where all sessions data is stored.
The base is defined with:
daemon.base
Base path for daemon data. All sessions data are stored under
this path.
The daemon allows to create record sessions. Each session is a
record command spawned and monitored by perf daemon.
The session is defined with:
session-<NAME>.run
Defines new record session for daemon. The value is record's
command line without the 'record' keyword.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The example above defines '/opt/perfdata' as the base directory and 2
record sessions.
# perf daemon start
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.454413] daemon started (pid 16015)
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.455910] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:16016]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.456599] reconfig: ruining session [sched:16017]: -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
# ps -ef | grep perf
... perf daemon start
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The base directory is populated with:
# find /opt/perfdata/
/opt/perfdata/
/opt/perfdata/control <- control socket
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles <- data for session 'cycles':
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output <- perf record output
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles/perf.data <- perf data
/opt/perfdata/session-sched <- ditto for session 'sched'
/opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
/opt/perfdata/session-sched/perf.data

'perf script' supports '-S' or '--symbol' options to only list the
records for these symbols. A symbol is typically a name or hex address.
If it's hex address, it is the start address of one symbol.
While it would be useful if we can filter trace records by any hex
address (not only the start address of symbol). So now we support
filtering trace records by more conditions, such as:
- symbol name
- start address of symbol
- any hexadecimal address
- address range
The comparison order is defined as:
1. symbol name comparison
2. symbol start address comparison.
3. any hexadecimal address comparison.
4. address range comparison.
The idea is if we can get a valid address from -S list, we add the
address to addr_list for address comparison otherwise we still leave
it to sym_list for symbol comparison.
Some examples:

The TMA method level 2 metrics is supported from the Intel Sapphire
Rapids server, which expose four L2 Topdown metrics events to user
space. There are eight L2 events in total. The other four L2 Topdown
metrics events are calculated from the corresponding L1 and the exposed
L2 events.
Now, the --topdown prints the complete top-down metrics that supported
by the CPU. For the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, there are 4 L1 events
and 8 L2 events displyed in one line.
Add a new option, --td-level, to display the top-down statistics that
equal to or lower than the input level.
The L2 event is marked only when both its L1 parent event and itself
crosse the threshold.
Here is an example:
$ perf stat --topdown --td-level=2 --no-metric-only sleep 1
Topdown accuracy may decrease when measuring long periods.
Please print the result regularly, e.g. -I1000

(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.
The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.
Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.
Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,
accordingly.
Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

Two new data source fields, to indicate the block reasons of a load
instruction, are introduced on the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. The
fields can be used by the memory profiling.
Add a new sort function, SORT_MEM_BLOCKED, for the two fields.
For the previous platforms or the block reason is unknown, print "N/A"
for the block reason.
Add blocked as a default mem sort key for perf report and perf mem
report.
Committer testing:
So in machines without this capability we get a "N/A" filling the new "Blocked"

Add a control 'ping' command to detect if perf is up and its control
interface is operational.
It will be used in following daemon patches to synchronize with record
session - when control interface is up and running, we know that perf
record is monitoring and ready to receive signals.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack
terminal 2:
# echo ping > control
# cat ack

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events.
When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf
record terminal.
The interface string for control file is:
evlist [-v|-g|-F]
The syntax follows perf evlist command:
-F Show just the sample frequency used for each event.
-v Show all fields.
-g Show event group information.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}'
terminal 2:
# echo evlist > control
terminal 1:
cycles
instructions
dummy:HG
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -v' > control
terminal 1:
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: \
IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, \
comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \
bpf_event: 1
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -g' > control
terminal 1:
{cycles,instructions}
dummy:HG
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -F' > control
terminal 1:
cycles: sample_freq=4000
instructions: sample_freq=4000
dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000
This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.
Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because
it's now evlist.c dependency.
Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we
can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c
object.

Adding new control events to enable/disable specific event.
The interface string for control file are:
'enable <EVENT NAME>'
'disable <EVENT NAME>'
when received the command, perf will scan the current evlist
for <EVENT NAME> and if found it's enabled/disabled.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack perf.pipe
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
terminal 2:
# cat perf.pipe | perf --no-pager script -i -
terminal 1:
Events disabled
NOTE Above message will show only after read side of the pipe ('>')
is started on 'terminal 2'. The 'terminal 1's bash does not execute
perf before that, hence the delyaed perf record message.
terminal 3:
# echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
terminal 1:
event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
terminal 2:
bash 33349 [034] 149587.674295: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34056
bash 33349 [034] 149588.239521: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34057
terminal 3:
# echo 'enable sched:sched_wakeup_new' > control
terminal 1:
event sched:sched_wakeup_new enabled
terminal 2:
bash 33349 [034] 149632.228023: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34059
bash 33349 [034] 149632.228050: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34059 [120] success=1 CPU:036
bash 33349 [034] 149633.950005: sched:sched_process_fork: comm=bash pid=33349 child_comm=bash child_pid=34060
bash 33349 [034] 149633.950030: sched:sched_wakeup_new: bash:34060 [120] success=1 CPU:036
Committer testing:
If I use 'sched:*' and then enable all events, I can't get 'perf record'
to react to further commands, so I tested it with:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events enabled
Events disabled
And then it works as expected, so we need to fix this pre-existing
problem.
Another issue, we need to check if a event is already enabled or
disabled and change the message to be clearer, i.e.:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
If we receive a 'disable' command, then it should say:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events already disabled

Introduce 'perf stat -b' option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:
[root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
3.490341825 60,720 ref-cycles
3.490341825 37,797 cycles
4.491540887 37,120 ref-cycles
4.491540887 31,963 cycles
The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id
254. This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.
'perf stat -b' creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.
A new 'struct bpf_counter' is introduced to provide a common interface
that uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.
Committer notes:
Removed all but bpf_counter.h includes from evsel.h, not needed at all.
Also BPF map lookups for PERCPU_ARRAYs need to have as its value receive
buffer passed to the kernel libbpf_num_possible_cpus() entries, not
evsel__nr_cpus(evsel), as the former uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible while the later uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online, which may be less than the 'possible'
number making the bpf map lookup overwrite memory and cause hard to
debug memory corruption.
We need to continue using evsel__nr_cpus(evsel) when accessing the
perf_counts array tho, not to overwrite another are of memory :-)

Add a new --quiet option to 'perf stat'. This is useful with 'perf stat
record' to write the data only to the perf.data file, which can lower
measurement overhead because the data doesn't need to be formatted.
On my 4C desktop:
% time ./perf stat record -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5
...
real 0m5.377s
user 0m0.238s
sys 0m0.452s
% time ./perf stat record --quiet -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5
real 0m5.452s
user 0m0.183s
sys 0m0.423s
In this example it cuts the user time by 20%. On systems with more cores
the savings are higher.

Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could avoid some
problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive is implemented in the
kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without
custom low level API users.
Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the
perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the existing
pinned attribute.
Committer testing:
# perf test "parse event"
6: Parse event definition strings : Ok
# perf test -v "parse event" |& grep :u*e
running test 56 'instructions:uep'
running test 57 '{cycles,cache-misses,branch-misses}:e'

Like 'perf record', we can even more speedup build-id processing by just
using all DSOs. Then we don't need to look at all the sample events
anymore. The following patch will update 'perf bench' to show the result
of the --buildid-all option too.

The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number
of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events
and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup.
This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup
on user's behalf.
For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they
should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G)
on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6
events and 200 cgroups with a new option.
A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A'
and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below.
$ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

Icelake has support for reporting per thread TopDown metrics.
These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support,
each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots".
We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore.
Teach perf stat --topdown to handle these new metrics and
print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics.
The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is
gone.
