ac20de6fff perf/tool: Make the event parser re-entrant
Make the event parser reentrant by creating separate
scanner for each parsing. The scanner is passed to the bison
as and argument to the lexer.

46010ab260 perf/tool: Use data struct for arg passing in event parse function
Moving all the bison arguments into the structure. In upcomming
patches we are going to:

  - add more arguments
  - reuse the grammer for term parsing

so it's more clear to pack/separate related arguments.

c410431cef perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:

  k		kernel space
  u		user space
  h		hypervisor
  G		guest
  H		host
  p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)

that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:

 $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 instructions:u
 $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:k
 $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kh
 $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cache-misses:G
 $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kpp
 $

Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

6b5fc39bdd perf tools: Add hardcoded name term for pmu events
Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the
pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no
'name' term is given, the event name follows following template:

    "raw 0x<perf_event_attr::config>"

running:
    perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls

will produce following output:
    ...
    Performance counter stats for 'ls':
                 0 krava1
    ...

running:
    perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls

will produce following output:
    ...
    Performance counter stats for 'ls':
                 0 raw 0x1
    ...

08d2f762ac perf tools: Separate 'mem:' event scanner bits
Separating 'mem:' scanner processing, so we can parse out modifier
specifically and dont clash with other rules.

This is just precaution for the future, so we dont need to worry about

5d7be90ed5 perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct events
The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it
is attached to.

The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in
single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last
one.

Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the
modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to
catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

5f537a2659 perf tools: Add support to specify pmu style event
Added new event rule to the event definition grammar:

event_def: event_pmu |
           ...
event_pmu: PE_NAME '/' event_config '/'

Using this rule, event could be now specified like:
  cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u

where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}

and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format

The hardcoded config options still stays and have precedence
over any format field defined with same name.

8f707d843c perf tools: Add config options support for event parsing
Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify
values of additional attributes of symbolic event.

The new syntax for event symbolic definition is:

event_legacy_symbol:  PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' |
                      PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc

event_config:         event_config ',' event_term | event_term

event_term:           PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME |
                      PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE
                      PE_NAME

sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' |

At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy
symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is:

  'config'   to define perf_event_attr::config
  'config1'  to define perf_event_attr::config1
  'config2'  to define perf_event_attr::config2
  'period'   to define perf_event_attr::sample_period

Legacy events could be now specified as:
  cycles/period=100000/

If term is specified without the value assignment, then 1 is
assigned by default.

8aa8a7c80c perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()
This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in
tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory
error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched:

 $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
 [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ]
 Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list

It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the
tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough
to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more.

The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more
reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n
terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit
character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between
each read.

ebf294bf4f perf tools: Simplify debugfs mountpoint handling code
We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.

Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path
to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible.

This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without
having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.

The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug"
and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple
tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

777d1d71db perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown events
There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.

Without the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'

With the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo'

This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at
all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

77e57297b4 perf list: Fix exit value
This patch fixes an issue with the exit value of perf list:

$ perf list; echo $?
129

perf list returns an error exit code even though there is no error.

There was a stray exit(129) in print_events(). This patch removes this
exit().

$ perf list; echo $?
0

f120f9d51b perf tools: De-opt the parse_events function
Moving out the option parameter from parse_events function,
and adding new parse_events_option function instead.

The option parameter is used only to carry "struct perf_evlist"
pointer for chaining new events. Putting it away, enable us
to call parse_events from other places without using the
option parameter.

0111919da2 perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] array
Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

  # ./perf stat -e krava ls

The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache
event.

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.

749141d926 perf stat: Make all displayed event names parseable as well
Right now we display this by default:

          0.202204 task-clock-msecs         #      0.282 CPUs
                 0 context-switches         #      0.000 M/sec
                 0 CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec
                85 page-faults              #      0.420 M/sec

The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an
event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'.

So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events
to be idempotent.

( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. )

ceb53fbf6d perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".

The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.

This patch changes the code to be more informative:

 $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
 invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
 Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

f0c55bcf4a perf: make perf stat print user provided full event names
This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).

This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.

This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

$ perf stat -e cycles:u,cycles:k date

17ea1b70a8 perf tools: Pass the struct opt to the wildcard parsing routine
It is needed because it will call parse_event for each tracepoint
name that matches, and we pass the perf_evlist via opt->value.

Problem introduced in 4503fdd where my assumption about opt being
always non NULL made me not look at callers of parse_events outside
builtin-*.c.

ad7f4e3f7b perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table
It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.

Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

dd9a9ad5e1 perf tools: Fix handling of wildcards in tracepoint event selectors
It wasn't accounting the ':' when consuming bytes in the the event
selector string, so parse_events() would fail in this test:

                if (!(*str == 0 || *str == ',' || isspace(*str)))
                        return -1;

as *str would be pointing to '*', the last character in the '-e' arg in:

$ perf record -q -a -D -e sched:sched_* | perf script -i - -s perf-script.py

23a2f3ab46 perf tools: Pass whole attr to event selectors
Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
makes perf tool not work correctly.

For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
not passed to the syscall.

f006d25a15 perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepoints
I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....

The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:

$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`

The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:

    strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));

This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.

For this I added the tiny helper function:

   int is_valid_tracepoint(const char *event_string)

to parse-events.[hc], which could be more generic as an interface and support
hardware/software/... events, not only tracepoints, but someone else could
extend that if needed...

4c635a4e04 perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint events
There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events
being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas.

For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ...  fails
because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator
properly.

This patch corrects those issues.

ab608344bc perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI
Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

  0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
  1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
  2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
  3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.

Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.

This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.
