I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the
branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that.
The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate
statistics from them.
from to branch_i
* ----> *
|
| block
v
* ----> *
from to branch_i+1
The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking
if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range
is a branch.
Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required
to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count.
For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as
well as the pred counter if flags.predicted.
Using these number we can find if an instruction:
- had coverage; given by:
br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage
This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the
observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest
block.
- is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add
- for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it:
target->entry / branch->coverage
- is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr
- for branches, how often it was taken:
br->taken / br->coverage
after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have
incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch.
- for branches, how often it was predicted:
br->pred / br->taken
The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections;
for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these
instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the
address RED.
For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with
information on how often it was taken and predicted.
Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the
information :/)

This adds the basic infrastructure to keep track of cycle counts per
basic block for annotate. We allocate an array similar to the normal
accounting, and then account branch cycles there.
We handle two cases:
cycles per basic block with start and cycles per branch (these are later
used for either IPC or just cycles per BB)
In the start case we cannot handle overlaps, so always the longest basic
block wins.
For the cycles per branch case everything is accurately accounted.
v2: Remove unnecessary checks. Slight restructure. Move
symbol__get_annotation to another patch. Move histogram allocation.

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.
That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.
So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.
I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".
The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

Now tools that deals want to have an hists per evsel need to call
hists__init() before creating any evsels, which can be as early as when
parsing the command line, so do it before calling parse_options().
The current tools using hists/hist_entries are report, top and annotate,
change them to request per evsel hists.
This is in preparation for making evsels usable by 3rd party tools, that
not necessarily live in perf's source code repository.

Now perf_session doesn't require that the evsels in its evlist are hists
containing ones.
Tools that are hists based and want to do per evsel events_stats
updates, if at some point this turns into a necessity, should do it in
the tool specific code, keeping the session class hists agnostic.

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.
We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.
Before:
$ perf report
...
# Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
# Event count (approx.): 1067250000
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ..............................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] recover_probed_instruction
After:
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ....................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct
perf_session_env *.

Currently, accounting each sample is done in multiple places - once
when adding them to the input tree, other when adding them to the
output tree. It's not only confusing but also can cause a subtle
problem since concurrent processing like in perf top might see the
updated stats before adding entries into the output tree - like seeing
more (blank) lines at the end and/or slight inaccurate percentage.
To fix this, only account the entries when it's moved into the output
tree so that they cannot be seen prematurely. There're some
exceptional cases here and there - they should be addressed separately
with comments.

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.
It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.
This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.
The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.
