On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':
┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└───────────────────────────────┘
The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf0823 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").
For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.
The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.

perf_top__mmap_read() has a severe performance issue in the Knights
Landing/Mill platform, when monitoring heavy load systems. It costs
several minutes to finish, which is unacceptable.
Currently, 'perf top' uses the non overwrite mode. For non overwrite
mode, it tries to read everything in the ringbuffer and doesn't pause
it. Once there are lots of samples delivered persistently, the
processing time could be very long. Also, the latest samples could be
lost when the ringbuffer is full.
For overwrite mode, it takes a snapshot for the system by pausing the
ringbuffer, which could significantly reduce the processing time. Also,
the overwrite mode always keep the latest samples. Considering the real
time requirement for 'perf top', the overwrite mode is more suitable for
it.
Actually, 'perf top' was overwrite mode. It is changed to non overwrite
mode since commit 93fc64f144 ("perf top: Switch to non overwrite
mode"). It's better to change it back to overwrite mode by default.
For the kernel which doesn't support overwrite mode, it will fall back
to non overwrite mode.
There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing
the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot
and can be tolerated.
For overwrite mode, unconditionally wait 100 ms before each snapshot. It
also reduces the overhead caused by pausing ringbuffer, especially on
light load system.

Add new rules and check regarding to overwrite term for 'perf top'.
- All events either have same per-event term or don't have per-event
mode setting. Otherwise, it will error out.
- Per-event overwrite term should be consistent as opts->overwrite.
If not, updating the opts->overwrite according to per-event term.
Make it possible to support either non-overwrite or overwrite mode.

The proc files which is sorted with alphabetical order are evenly
assigned to several synthesize threads to be processed in parallel.
For 'perf top', the threads number hard code to online CPU number. The
following patch will introduce an option to set it.
For other perf tools, the thread number is 1. Because the process
function is not ready for multithreading, e.g.
process_synthesized_event.
This patch series only support event synthesize multithreading for 'perf
top'. For other tools, it can be done separately later.
With multithread applied, the total processing time can get up to 1.56x
speedup on Knights Mill for 'perf top'.
For specific single event processing, the processing time could increase
because of the lock contention. So proc_map_timeout may need to be
increased. Otherwise some proc maps will be truncated.
Based on my test, increasing the proc_map_timeout has small impact
on the total processing time. The total processing time still get 1.49x
speedup on Knights Mill after increasing the proc_map_timeout.
The patch itself doesn't increase the proc_map_timeout.
Doesn't need to implement multithreading for per task monitoring,
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map. It doesn't have performance issue.

[ split and adjusted from a larger patch ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Macro fusion merges two instructions to a single micro-op. Intel core
platform performs this hardware optimization under limited
circumstances.
For example, CMP + JCC can be "fused" and executed /retired together.
While with sampling this can result in the sample sometimes being on the
JCC and sometimes on the CMP. So for the fused instruction pair, they
could be considered together.
On Nehalem, fused instruction pairs:
cmp/test + jcc.
On other new CPU:
cmp/test/add/sub/and/inc/dec + jcc.
This patch adds an x86-specific function which checks if 2 instructions
are in a "fused" pair. For non-x86 arch, the function is just NULL.
Changelog:
v4: Move the CPU model checking to symbol__disassemble and save the CPU
family/model in arch structure.
It avoids checking every time when jump arrow printed.
v3: Add checking for Nehalem (CMP, TEST). For other newer Intel CPUs
just check it by default (CMP, TEST, ADD, SUB, AND, INC, DEC).
v2: Remove the original weak function. Arnaldo points out that doing it
as a weak function that will be overridden by the host arch doesn't
work. So now it's implemented as an arch-specific function.
Committer fix:
Do not access evsel->evlist->env->cpuid, ->env can be null, introduce
perf_evsel__env_cpuid(), just like perf_evsel__env_arch(), also used in
this function call.
The original patch was segfaulting 'perf top' + annotation.
But this essentially disables this fused instructions augmentation in
'perf top', the right thing is to get the cpuid from the running kernel,
left for a later patch tho.

Introduce a 'struct arch', where arch specific stuff will live, starting
with objdump's choice of comment delimitation character, that is '#' in
x86 while a ';' in arm.
This has some bits and pieces from a patch submitted by Ravi.

This was being done just in 'perf top', but grouping idle symbols should
be useful in other places as well, so remove one more symbol_filter_t
user by moving this to the symbol library.

We need to initializa some fields (right now just a mutex) when we
allocate the per symbol annotation struct, so do it at the symbol
constructor instead of (ab)using the filter mechanism for that.
This way we remove one of the few cases we have for that symbol filter,
which will eventually led to removing it.

We were just using pr_error() which makes it difficult for non stdio UIs
to provide errors using its widgets, as they need to somehow catch what
was passed to pr_error().
Fix it by introducing a __strerror() interface like the ones used
elsewhere, for instance target__strerror().
This is just the initial step, more work will be done, but first some
error handling bugs noticed while working on this need to be dealt with.

This function will not annotate anything, it will just disassembly the
given map->dso and symbol.
It currently does this by parsing the output of 'objdump --disassemble',
but this could conceivably be done using a library or an offshot of
the kernel's instruction decoder (arch/x86/lib/inat.c), etc.

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Lately util/config.h has been added but util/cache.h has declarations of
functions and a global variable for config features.
To manage codes about configuration at one spot, move them to
util/config.h and let source files that need config features include
config.h And if the source files that included previous cache.h need
only config.h, remove including cache.h.

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.
