perf tools: Add missing else to cmd_daemon subcommand condition

Namhyung reported segfault in perf daemon start command.

It's caused by extra check on argv[0] which is set to NULL by previous
__cmd_start call. Adding missing else to skip the extra check.

Fixes: 92294b906e6c ("perf daemon: Dynamically allocate path to perf")

perf daemon: Force waipid for all session on SIGCHLD delivery

If we don't process SIGCHLD before another comes, we will see just one

Adding extra waitpid check for all sessions when SIGCHLD is received, to
make sure we don't miss any session exit.

Also fix close condition for signal_fd.

It's used in the following patches via test code to make sure 'perf
record' is ready to receive signals.

Example:

# cat ~/.perfconfig

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:

builtin-daemon.c:560:6: error: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of this bitwise operator [-Werror,-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
if (!pollfd.revents & POLLIN) {
^ ~
builtin-daemon.c:560:6: note: add parentheses after the '!' to evaluate the bitwise operator first

Also use designated initialized with pollfd, i.e.:

struct pollfd pollfd = { .events = POLLIN, };

Instead of:

struct pollfd pollfd = { 0, };

To get past:

builtin-daemon.c:510:30: error: missing field 'events' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct pollfd pollfd = { 0, };

# 8c98be6c 08-Feb-2021 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

perf daemon: Allow only one daemon over base directory

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.

# b325f7be 08-Feb-2021 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

perf daemon: Add 'list' command

Add a 'list' command to display all running sessions. It's the default
command if no other command is specified.

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

List sessions:

# perf daemon
[771394:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[771395:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[771396:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a

List sessions with more info:

# perf daemon -v
[771394:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
output: /opt/perfdata/output
[771395:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles
output: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
[771396:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-sched
output: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output

The 'output' file is perf record output for specific session.

Note you have to stop all running perf processes manually at this point,
stop command is coming in following patches.

Committer notes:

Fixup union initialization to overcome this in multiple older systems:

perf daemon: Add signalfd support

Use a signalfd fd to track SIGCHLD signals as notifications for perf
session termination.

This way we don't need to actively check for child status, being
notified if there's change.

# 3cda0625 08-Feb-2021 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

perf daemon: Add config file change check

Add support to detect changes to the daemon's config file triggering a
re-read of the configuration when that happens.

Use a inotify file descriptor plugged into the main fdarray object for
polling.

Example:

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata

[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Starting the daemon:

# perf daemon start

Check sessions:

# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772263:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Change '-m 10M' to '-m 20M', and check daemon log:

# tail -f /opt/perfdata/output
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.234045] daemon started (pid 772262)
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.235072] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772263]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[2021-01-02 20:32:08.310137] reconfig: session 'cycles' killed
[2021-01-02 20:32:08.310847] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772338]: -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

And the session list:

# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772338:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Note the changed '-m 20M' option is in place.

# c0666261 08-Feb-2021 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

perf daemon: Add config file support

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

# 90b0aad8 08-Feb-2021 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

perf daemon: Add client socket support

Add support for client socket side that will be used to send commands to
the daemon server socket.

This patch adds only the core support, all commands using this
functionality are coming in the following patches.

Committer notes:

Hat to patch patch it to deal with this in some systems:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-daemon.c: In function 'send_cmd': MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/bench/

builtin-daemon.c:1368: error: ignoring return value of 'fwrite', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/tests/
make[3]: *** [/tmp/build/perf/builtin-daemon.o] Error 1

And also to not leak the 'line' buffer allocated by getline(), since you
initialized line to NULL and len to zero, man page says:

If *lineptr is set to NULL and *n is set 0 before the call,
then getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the line.
This buffer should be freed by the user program even if
getline() failed.

perf daemon: Add daemon command

Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering
various setup in start command.

Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info.

This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run
record long running sessions on the background.

The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run
record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command.

This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one
can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or
removed, etc.
