perf util: Add evsel__taskstate() to parse the task state info instead

Now that we have the __prinf_flags() parsing routines, we add a new
helper evsel__taskstate() to extract the task state info from the
recorded data.

perf evsel: Fallback to "task-clock" when not system wide

When the "cycles" event isn't available evsel will fallback to the
"cpu-clock" software event.

"task-clock" is similar to "cpu-clock" but only runs when the process is
running.

Falling back to "cpu-clock" when not system wide leads to confusion, by
falling back to "task-clock" it is hoped the confusion is less.

Pass the target to determine if "task-clock" is more appropriate.

Update a nearby comment and debug string for the change.

perf tools: Add branch counter knob

Add a new branch filter, "counter", for the branch counter option. It is
used to mark the events which should be logged in the branch. If it is
applied with the -j option, the counters of all the events should be
logged in the branch. If the legacy kernel doesn't support the new
branch sample type, switching off the branch counter filter.

The stored counter values in each branch are displayed right after the
regular branch stack information via perf report -D.

Usage examples:

# perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter

Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Both
branch-instructions and branch-misses are marked as logged events. The
occurrences information of them can be found in the branch stack
extension space of each branch.

# perf record -e "{cpu/branch-instructions,branch_type=any/,cpu/branch-misses,branch_type=counter/}"

Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Only the
branch-misses event is marked as a logged event.

Committer notes:

I noticed 'perf test "Sample parsing"' failing, reported to the list and
Kan provided a patch that checks if the evsel has a leader and that
evsel->evlist is set, the comment in the source code further explains
it.

perf evsel amd: Fix IBS error message

AMD IBS can do per-process profiling[1] and is no longer restricted to
per-cpu or systemwide only. Remove stale error message. Also, checking
just exclude_kernel is not sufficient since IBS does not support any
privilege filters. So include all exclude_* checks. And finally, move
these checks under tools/perf/arch/x86/ from generic code.

Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
Error:
AMD IBS may only be available in system-wide/per-cpu mode. Try
using -a, or -C and workload affinity

After:
$ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
Error:
AMD IBS doesn't support privilege filtering. Try again without
the privilege modifiers (like 'k') at the end.

perf stat: New metricgroup output for the default mode

In the default mode, the current output of the metricgroup include both
events and metrics, which is not necessary and just makes the output
hard to read. Since different ARCHs (even different generations in the
same ARCH) may use different events. The output also vary on different
platforms.

For a metricgroup, only outputting the value of each metric is good
enough.

Add a new field default_metricgroup in evsel to indicate an event of the
default metricgroup. For those events, printout() should print the
metricgroup name rather than each event.

Add perf_stat__skip_metric_event() to skip the evsel in the Default
metricgroup, if it's not running or not the metric event.

Add print_metricgroup_header_t to pass the functions which print the
display name of each metricgroup in the Default metricgroup. Support all
three output methods.

Factor out perf_stat__print_shadow_stats_metricgroup() to print out each
metrics.

perf evsel: Don't let for_each_group() treat the head of the list as one of its nodes

Address/memory sanitizer was reporting issues in evsel__group_pmu_name
because the for_each_group_evsel loop didn't terminate when the head
was reached, the head would then be cast and accessed as an evsel
leading to invalid memory accesses.

Fix for_each_group_member and for_each_group_evsel to terminate at the
list head. Note, evsel__group_pmu_name no longer iterates the group, but
the problem is present regardless.

perf evsel: Don't let evsel__group_pmu_name() traverse unsorted group

Previously the evsel__group_pmu_name would iterate the evsel's group,
however, the list of evsels aren't yet sorted and so the loop may
terminate prematurely. It is also not desirable to iterate the list of
evsels during list_sort as the list may be broken.

Precompute the group_pmu_name for the evsel before sorting, as part of
the computation and only if necessary, iterate the whole list looking
for group members so that being sorted isn't necessary.

Move the group pmu name computation to parse-events.c given the closer
dependency on the behavior of
parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups.

# 1b114824 02-May-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf stat: Introduce skippable evsels

'perf stat' with no arguments will use default events and metrics. These
events may fail to open even with kernel and hypervisor disabled. When
these fail then the permissions error appears even though they were
implicitly selected. This is particularly a problem with the automatic
selection of the TopdownL1 metric group on certain architectures like
Skylake:

$ perf stat true
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
Consider adjusting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid setting to open
access to performance monitoring and observability operations for processes
without CAP_PERFMON, CAP_SYS_PTRACE or CAP_SYS_ADMIN Linux capability.
More information can be found at 'Perf events and tool security' document:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/perf-security.html
perf_event_paranoid setting is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow raw and ftrace function tracepoint access
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling
To make the adjusted perf_event_paranoid setting permanent preserve it
in /etc/sysctl.conf (e.g. kernel.perf_event_paranoid = <setting>)
$

This patch adds skippable evsels that when they fail to open won't cause
termination and will appear as "<not supported>" in output. The
TopdownL1 events, from the metric group, are marked as skippable. This
turns the failure above to:

perf stat: Separate bperf from bpf_profiler

It seems that perf stat -b <prog id> doesn't produce any results:

$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
Control descriptor is not initialized
cycles: 0 0 0
time counts unit events
10.007641640 <not supported> cycles

Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:

$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
Control descriptor is not initialized
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 136
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 3
------------------------------------------------------------
[...perf_event_attr for other CPUs...]
------------------------------------------------------------
cycles: 309426 169009 169009
time counts unit events
10.010091271 309426 cycles

The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the
same metric obtained via bpftool.

This makes the logic a bit clear by avoiding the !strcmp() pattern and
also a way to intercept the pointer if we need to do extra validation on

perf bpf filter: Implement event sample filtering

The BPF program will be attached to a perf_event and be triggered when
it overflows. It'd iterate the filters map and compare the sample
value according to the expression. If any of them fails, the sample
would be dropped.

Also it needs to have the corresponding sample data for the expression
so it compares data->sample_flags with the given value. To access the
sample data, it uses the bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() kfunc which was added
in v6.2 kernel.

perf stat: Use counts rather than saved_value

Switch the hard coded metrics to use the aggregate value rather than
from saved_value. When computing a metric like IPC the aggregate count
comes from instructions then cycles is looked up and if present IPC
computed. Rather than lookup from the saved_value rbtree, search the
counter's evlist for the desired counter.

A new helper evsel__stat_type is used to both quickly find a metric
function and to identify when a counter is the one being sought. So
that both total and miss counts can be sought, the stat_type enum is
expanded. The ratio functions are rewritten to share a common helper
with the ratios being directly passed rather than computed from an
enum value.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Committer notes:

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.

From Athira:

<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf evsel: Add arch_evsel__hw_name()

The commit 55bcf6ef314ae8ba ("perf: Extend PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE") extends the two types to become PMU aware types for
a hybrid system. However, current evsel__hw_name doesn't take the PMU
type into account. It mistakenly returns the "unknown-hardware" for the
hardware event with a specific PMU type.

Add an arch specific arch_evsel__hw_name() to specially handle the PMU
aware hardware event.

Currently, the extend PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE is only
supported by X86. Only implement the specific arch_evsel__hw_name() for
X86 in the patch.

Nothing is changed for the other archs.

perf tools: Factor out evsel__id_hdr_size()

Factor out evsel__id_hdr_size() so it can be reused.

This is needed by perf inject. When injecting events from a guest perf.data
file, there is a possibility that the sample ID numbers conflict. To
re-write an ID sample, the old one needs to be removed first, which means
determining how big it is with evsel__id_hdr_size() and then subtracting
that from the event size.

perf record ibs: Warn about sampling period skew

Samples without an L3 miss are discarded and counter is reset with
random value (between 1-15 for fetch PMU and 1-127 for op PMU) when IBS
L3 miss filtering is enabled. This causes a sampling period skew but
there is no way to reconstruct aggregated sampling period. So print a
warning at perf record if user sets l3missonly=1.

Ex:

# perf record -c 10000 -C 0 -e ibs_op/l3missonly=1/
WARNING: Hw internally resets sampling period when L3 Miss Filtering is enabled
and tagged operation does not cause L3 Miss. This causes sampling period skew.

perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group

On Intel Icelake, topdown events must always be grouped with a slots
event as leader. When a metric is parsed a weak group is formed and
retried if perf_event_open fails. The retried events aren't grouped
breaking the slots leader requirement. This change modifies the weak
group "reset" behavior so that topdown events aren't broken from the
group for the retry.

perf stat: Add user_time and system_time events

It bothered me that during benchmarking using 'perf stat' (to collect
for example CPU cache events) I could not simultaneously retrieve the
times spend in user or kernel mode in a machine readable format.

When running 'perf stat' the output for humans contains the times
reported by rusage and wait4.

$ perf stat -e cache-misses:u -- true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

4,206 cache-misses:u

0.001113619 seconds time elapsed

0.001175000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

But 'perf stat's machine-readable format does not provide this information.

$ perf stat -x, -e cache-misses:u -- true
4282,,cache-misses:u,492859,100.00,,

I found no way to retrieve this information using the available events
while using machine-readable output.

This patch adds two new tool internal events 'user_time' and
'system_time', similarly to the already present 'duration_time' event.

Both events use the already collected rusage information obtained by
wait4 and tracked in the global ru_stats.

Examples presenting cache-misses and rusage information in both human
and machine-readable form:

$ perf stat -e duration_time,user_time,system_time,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .

Performance counter stats for 'grep -q -r duration_time .':

67,422,542 ns duration_time:u
50,517,000 ns user_time:u
16,839,000 ns system_time:u
30,937 cache-misses:u

0.050517000 seconds user

perf expr: Add source_count for aggregating events

Events like uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ on Skylake open multiple events
and then aggregate in the metric leader. To determine the average value
per event the number of these events is needed. Add a source_count
function that returns this value by counting the number of events with
the given metric leader. For most events the value is 1 but for
uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ it can yield values like 6.

Add a generic test, but manually tested with a test metric that uses
the function.

perf evsel: Don't set exclude_guest by default

Perf tool sets exclude_guest by default while calling perf_event_open().
Because IBS does not have filtering capability, it always gets rejected
by IBS PMU driver and thus perf falls back to non-precise sampling. Fix
it by not setting exclude_guest by default on AMD.

Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
decreasing precise_ip by one (1)
precise_ip 1
decreasing precise_ip by one (0)

After:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2

Committer notes:

Fixup init to zero for perf_env in older compilers:

arch/x86/util/evsel.c:15:26: error: missing field 'os_release' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct perf_env env = {0};
^

Committer notes:

Namhyung remarked:

It'd be nice if it can cover explicit "-e cycles:pp" as well.

Ravi clarified:

For explicit :pp modifier, evsel->precise_max does not get set and thus perf
does not try with different attr->precise_ip values while exclude_guest set.
So no issue with explicit :pp:

$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:pp -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host
precise_ip 2
^C

Also, with :P modifier, evsel->precise_max gets set but exclude_guest does
not and thus :P also works fine:

$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:P -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
^C

# 3500eeeb 05-Nov-2021 Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

perf evsel: Fix missing exclude_{host,guest} setting

The current logic for the perf missing feature has a bug that it can
wrongly clear some modifiers like G or H. Actually some PMUs don't
support any filtering or exclusion while others do. But we check it as
a global feature.

For example, the cycles event can have 'G' modifier to enable it only in
the guest mode on x86. When you don't run any VMs it'll return 0.

# perf stat -a -e cycles:G sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 cycles:G

1.000721670 seconds time elapsed

But when it's used with other pmu events that don't support G modifier,
it'll be reset and return non-zero values.

# perf stat -a -e cycles:G,msr/tsc/ sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

538,029,960 cycles:G
16,924,010,738 msr/tsc/

1.001815327 seconds time elapsed

This is because of the missing feature detection logic being global.
Add a hashmap to set pmu-specific exclude_host/guest features.

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf test python' by adding a stub for evsel__find_pmu() in
tools/perf/util/python.c, document that it is used so far only for the
above reasons so that if anybody needs this in the python binding
usecases, we can revisit this.

perf evsel: Add bitfield_swap() to handle branch_stack endian issue

The branch_stack struct has bit field definition which produces
different bit ordering for big/little endian.

Because of this, when branch_stack sample is collected in a BE system

not presented properly.

To address this issue, a evsel__bitfield_swap_branch_stack() is defined
and introduced in evsel__parse_sample.

# 2b62b3a6 15-Oct-2021 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Add new "metric-id" term

Add a new "metric-id" term to events so that metric parsing can set an
ID that can be reliably looked up.

Metric parsing currently will turn a metric like "instructions/cycles"
into a parse events string of "{instructions,cycles}:W".

However, parse-events may change "instructions" into "instructions:u" if
perf_event_paranoid=2.

When this happens expr__resolve_id currently fails as stat-shadow adds
the ID "instructions:u" to match with the counter value and the metric
tries to look up the ID just "instructions".

A later patch will use the new term.

An example of the current problem:

$ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
$ perf stat -M IPC /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

1,217,161 inst_retired.any # 0.97 IPC
1,250,389 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

0.002064773 seconds time elapsed

0.002378000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

$ echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
$ perf stat -M IPC /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

150,298 inst_retired.any:u # nan IPC
187,095 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:u

0.002042731 seconds time elapsed

0.000000000 seconds user
0.002377000 seconds sys

Note: nan IPC is printed as an effect of "perf metric: Use NAN for
missing event IDs." but earlier versions of perf just fail with a parse
error and display no value.

perf evsel: Move ignore_missing_thread() to fallback code

This patch moves ignore_missing_thread outside the perf_event_open loop.

Doing so, we need to move the retry_open flag a few places higher, with
minimal impact. Furthermore, thread need not be decreased since it won't
get increased by the for loop (since we're jumping back inside), but we
need to check that the nthreads decrease didn't put thread out of range.

The goal is to have fallbacks handled in one place only, since in the
future parallel code, these would be handled separately.

that they can be set in __evsel__prepare_open() (this will be useful in

libperf: Move 'idx' from tools/perf to perf_evsel::idx

Move evsel::idx to perf_evsel::idx, so we can move the group interface
to libperf.

Committer notes:

Fixup evsel->idx usage in tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c, that
appeared in my tree in my local tree.

Also fixed up these:

$ find tools/perf/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evsel->idx'
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx + i);
tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c: evsel->idx);
$

That running 'make -C tools/perf build-test' caught.

perf record: Create two hybrid 'cycles' events by default

When evlist is empty, for example no '-e' specified in perf record,
one default 'cycles' event is added to evlist.

While on hybrid platform, it needs to create two default 'cycles'
events. One is for cpu_core, the other is for cpu_atom.

This patch actually calls evsel__new_cycles() two times to create
two 'cycles' events.

perf stat: Uniquify hybrid event name

It would be useful to let user know the pmu which the event belongs to.
perf-stat has supported '--no-merge' option and it can print the pmu
name after the event name, such as:

"cycles [cpu_core]"

Now this option is enabled by default for hybrid platform but change
the format to:

"cpu_core/cycles/"

If user configs the name, we still use the user specified name.

Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses
--bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config
option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use
BPF.

This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion.
For example:

perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions
perf stat -e instructions,cs

The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

perf stat: Introduce 'bperf' to share hardware PMCs with BPF

The perf tool uses performance monitoring counters (PMCs) to monitor
system performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For
example, Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.

Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways: system
level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per process
monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases, there are
more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow all
perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
time multiplexing of events.

On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
(cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.

bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
"cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.

Please refer to the comment before the definition of bperf_ops for the
description of bperf architecture.

bperf is off by default. To enable it, pass --bpf-counters option to
perf-stat. bperf uses a BPF hashmap to share information about BPF
programs and maps used by bperf. This map is pinned to bpffs. The
default path is /sys/fs/bpf/perf_attr_map. The user could change the
path with option --bpf-attr-map.

perf stat: Fix wrong skipping for per-die aggregation

Uncore becomes die-scope on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP and perf has supported
--per-die aggregation yet.

One issue is found in check_per_pkg() for uncore events running on AP
system. On cascade Lake-AP, we have:

S0-D0
S0-D1
S1-D0
S1-D1

But in check_per_pkg(), S0-D1 and S1-D1 are skipped because the mask
bits for S0 and S1 have been set for S0-D0 and S1-D0. It doesn't check
die_id. So the counting for S0-D1 and S1-D1 are set to zero. That's not
correct.

5.001479927 S1-D1 1 5496640 Bytes llc_misses.mem_read

From above output, we can see S0-D1 and S1-D1 don't report the interval
values, they are continued to grow. That's because check_per_pkg()
wrongly decides to use zero counts for S0-D1 and S1-D1.

So in check_per_pkg(), we should use hashmap(socket,die) to decide if
the cpu counts needs to skip. Only considering socket is not enough.

Now with this patch,

perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.

The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.

Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.

If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.

There is no impact for other architectures.

Committer notes:

Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core
but not upstream yet.

perf stat: Enable counting events for BPF programs

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 :-)

perf evsel: Add evsel__clone() function

The evsel__clone() is to create an exactly same evsel from same
attributes. The function assumes the given evsel is not configured
yet so it cares fields set during event parsing. Those fields are now
moved together as Jiri suggested. Note that metric events will be
handled by later patch.

It will be used by perf stat to generate separate events for each
cgroup.

perf record: Fix duplicated sideband events with Intel PT system wide tracing

Commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.

Example showing duplicated switch events:

Before:

# 70943490 05-May-2020 Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

# d3f85437 28-Feb-2020 Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

perf evsel: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX

A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.

Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.

If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.

Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.

Committer testing:

First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few
seconds:

# perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ]
#

Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type:

# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX
#

So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to
perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event.

If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX
feature, we get:

# perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES
#

No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.

# 42bbabed 28-Feb-2020 Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

perf stat: Use affinity for opening events

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.

This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.

We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.

It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
42.75 4.050910 67 60046 110 perf_event_open

After:

26.86 0.944396 16 58069 110 perf_event_open

(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)

the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

# f01642e4 27-Aug-2019 Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for metricgroup

Some uncore metrics don't work as expected. For example, on
cascadelakex:

root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

1841092 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
3680816 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

1.001775055 seconds time elapsed

root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

860649746 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all
1840557 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
12790627455 unc_m_clockticks

1.001773348 seconds time elapsed

No metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' or 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY' are
reported.

The issue is, the case of an alias expanding to mulitple events is not
supported, typically the uncore events. (see comments in
find_evsel_group()).

For UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL in above example, the expanded event group
is '{unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts,unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts}:W', but the actual
events passed to find_evsel_group are:

unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

For this multiple events case, it's not supported well.

This patch introduces a new field 'metric_leader' in struct evsel. The
first event is considered as a metric leader. For the rest of same
events, they point to the first event via it's metric_leader field in
struct evsel.

This design is for adding the counting results of all same events to the
first event in group (the metric_leader).

With this patch,

root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

1842108 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts # 337.2 MB/sec UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL
3682209 unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

1.001819706 seconds time elapsed

root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

861970685 unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all # 219.4 ns UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY
1842772 unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
12790196356 unc_m_clockticks

1.001749103 seconds time elapsed

Now we can see the correct metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' and
'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY'.

perf tools: Add a 'percore' event qualifier

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.

We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.

This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.

v4:
---
1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
this new qualifier.
2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch

v3:
---
Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
Before:
"return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
Now:
"return term->val.percore;"

v2:
---
Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
comments from Jiri and Andi.

perf stat: Implement duration_time as a proper event

The perf metric expression use 'duration_time' internally to normalize
events. Normal 'perf stat' without -x also prints the duration time.
But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which is
inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to normalize
values to time.

So implement 'duration_time' as a proper perf event that can be
specified explicitely with -e.

The previous implementation of 'duration_time' only worked for metric
processing. This adds the concept of a tool event that is handled by the
tool. On the kernel level it is still mapped to the dummy software
event, but the values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the
tool.

Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser, and display it
in 'perf stat'. We don't want 'duration_time' to be added up, so it's
only printed for the first CPU.

% perf stat -e duration_time,cycles true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

555,476 ns duration_time
771,958 cycles

0.000555476 seconds time elapsed

0.000644000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

perf evlist: Introduce side band thread

This patch introduces side band thread that captures extended
information for events like PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.

This new thread uses its own evlist that uses ring buffer with very low
watermark for lower latency.

To use side band thread, we need to:

1. add side band event(s) by calling perf_evlist__add_sb_event();
2. calls perf_evlist__start_sb_thread();
3. at the end of perf run, perf_evlist__stop_sb_thread().

In the next patch, we use this thread to handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.

Committer notes:

Add fix by Jiri Olsa for when te sb_tread can't get started and then at
the end the stop_sb_thread() segfaults when joining the (non-existing)
thread.

That can happen when running 'perf top' or 'perf record' as a normal
user, for instance.

Further checks need to be done on top of this to more graciously handle
these possible failure scenarios.

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

# perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
mmap 1
comm 1
freq 1
enable_on_exec 1
task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
ksymbol 1
bpf_event 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid 5779 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22
switching off bpf_event
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
mmap 1

precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
ksymbol 1
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid 5779 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22

------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
mmap 1
comm 1
freq 1
enable_on_exec 1
task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
------------------------------------------------------------

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

[root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL

This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report.
Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and
removed for ksymbol unregister.

This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by
default.

Committer notes:

Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments
like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit.

I.e. fixing this build error:

util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__fprintf_ksymbol':
util/event.c:1489:10: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]
event->ksymbol_event.flags, event->ksymbol_event.name);
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts.

This renames 'struct tep_event_format' to 'struct tep_event', which

perf evsel: Mark a evsel as disabled when asking the kernel do disable it

Because there may be more such events in the ring buffer that should be
discarded when an app decides to stop considering them.

At some point we'll do this with eBPF, this way we stop them at origin,
before they are placed in the ring buffer.

# 2fda5ada 19-Oct-2018 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf evsel: Introduce per event max_events property

This simply adds the field to 'struct perf_evsel' and allows setting
it via the event parser, to test it lets trace trace:

First look at where in a function that receives an evsel we can put a probe
to read how evsel->max_events was setup:

# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L trace__event_handler
<trace__event_handler@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:0>
0 static int trace__event_handler(struct trace *trace, struct perf_evsel *evsel,
union perf_event *event __maybe_unused,
struct perf_sample *sample)
3 {
4 struct thread *thread = machine__findnew_thread(trace->host, sample->pid, sample->tid);
5 int callchain_ret = 0;

7 if (sample->callchain) {
8 callchain_ret = trace__resolve_callchain(trace, evsel, sample, &callchain_cursor);
9 if (callchain_ret == 0) {
10 if (callchain_cursor.nr < trace->min_stack)
11 goto out;
12 callchain_ret = 1;
}
}

See what variables we can probe at line 7:

# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -V trace__event_handler:7
Available variables at trace__event_handler:7
@<trace__event_handler+89>
int callchain_ret
struct perf_evsel* evsel
struct perf_sample* sample
struct thread* thread
struct trace* trace
union perf_event* event

Add a probe at that line asking for evsel->max_events to be collected and named
as "max_events":

# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf trace__event_handler:7 'max_events=evsel->max_events'
Added new event:
probe_perf:trace__event_handler (on trace__event_handler:7 in /home/acme/bin/perf with max_events=evsel->max_events)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe_perf:trace__event_handler -aR sleep 1

Now use 'perf trace', here aliased to just 'trace' and trace trace, i.e.
the first 'trace' is tracing just that 'probe_perf:trace__event_handler' event,
while the traced trace is tracing all scheduler tracepoints, will stop at two
events (--max-events 2) and will just set evsel->max_events for all the sched
tracepoints to 9, we will see the output of both traces intermixed:

# trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
0.009 :0/0 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
0.000 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
0.046 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
#

Now, if the traced trace sends its output to /dev/null, we'll see just
what the first level trace outputs: that evsel->max_events is indeed
being set to 9:

# trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace -o /dev/null --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
0.000 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
0.030 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
#

Now that we can set evsel->max_events, we can go to the next step, honour that
per-event property in 'perf trace'.

perf stat: Get rid of extra clock display function

There's no reason to have separate function to display clock events.
It's only purpose was to convert the nanosecond value into microseconds.
We do that now in generic code, if the unit and scale values are
properly set, which this patch do for clock events.

The output differs in the unit field being displayed in its columns
rather than having it added as a suffix of the event name. Plus the
value is rounded into 2 decimal numbers as for any other event.

Before:

# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

3001.123137 cpu-clock (msec) # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3001.133250 task-clock (msec) # 1.000 CPUs utilized

3.001159813 seconds time elapsed

Now:

# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3

Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

3,001.05 msec cpu-clock # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3,001.05 msec task-clock # 1.000 CPUs utilized

3.001077794 seconds time elapsed

There's a small difference in csv output, as we now output the unit
field, which was empty before. It's in the proper spot, so there's no
compatibility issue.

Before:

# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 -x, sleep 3
3001.065177,,cpu-clock,3001064187,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
3001.077085,,task-clock,3001077085,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized

# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 -x, sleep 3

3000.80,msec,task-clock,3000799550,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized

Add perf_evsel__is_clock to replace nsec_counter.

# 369b2308 07-May-2018 Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

perf parse-events: Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly

Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore
block in a group, for example:

perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks

The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the
uncore event doesn't work.

An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias
is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block.
Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group.
It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group.

The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which
only include the events from the same PMU.

Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially
handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other
uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.

With the patch:
# time counts unit events

perf stat: Fix duplicate PMU name for interval print

PMU name is printed repeatedly for interval print, for example:

perf stat --no-merge -e 'unc_m_clockticks' -a -I 1000
# time counts unit events
1.001053069 243,702,144 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
1.001053069 244,268,304 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
1.001053069 244,427,386 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]
1.001053069 244,583,760 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
1.001053069 244,738,971 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
1.001053069 244,880,309 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
2.002024821 240,818,200 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4] [uncore_imc_4]
2.002024821 240,767,812 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2] [uncore_imc_2]
2.002024821 240,764,215 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0] [uncore_imc_0]
2.002024821 240,759,504 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5] [uncore_imc_5]
2.002024821 240,755,992 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3] [uncore_imc_3]
2.002024821 240,750,403 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1] [uncore_imc_1]

For each print, the PMU name is unconditionally appended to the
counter->name.

Need to check the counter->name first. If the PMU name is already
appended, do nothing.

Committer notes:

Add and use perf_evsel->uniquified_name bool instead of doing the more
expensive strstr(event->name, pmu->name).

perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:

1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
by perf list, are used.

When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

67 l3cache/read-miss/
67 l3cache/read-miss/
63 l3cache/read-miss/
60 l3cache/read-miss/

0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

12 l3cache_read_miss
17 l3cache_read_miss
10 l3cache_read_miss
8 l3cache_read_miss

0.001661305 seconds time elapsed

This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

63 l3cache_0_3/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_1/read-miss/
64 l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

0.001675706 seconds time elapsed

For alias events the name is added after the event name:

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

10 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_3]
12 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_1]

perf record: Fix -c/-F options for cpu event aliases

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.

Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.

Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.

I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

perf tools: Support weak groups in 'perf stat'

Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.

User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.

Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.

Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.

In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.

So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.

Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1

73,806,067 branches
4,848,144 branch-misses # 6.57% of all branches
14,754,458 l1d.replacement
24,905,558 l2_lines_in.all
<not supported> l2_rqsts.all_code_rd <------- will never report anything

With the weak group:

% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1

125,366,055 branches (80.02%)
9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%)
24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%)
43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%)

perf stat: Only auto-merge events that are PMU aliases

Peter reported that when he explicitely asked for multiple events with
the same name on the command line it got coalesced into just one line,
i.e.:

# perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

3,269,652 cycles

0.000884123 seconds time elapsed

#

And while there is the --no-merges option to disable that auto-merging,
this is a blunt change in behaviour for such explicit request, so change
the code so that this auto merging is done only when handling the multi
PMU aliases with the same name that introduced this coalescing,
restoring the previous behaviour for the explicit case:

# perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

1,472,837 cycles
1,472,837 cycles
1,472,837 cycles

0.001764870 seconds time elapsed

The event is allocated with cpus == 1, but freed with cpus == real number
When the evsel close function walks the file descriptors it exceeds the
fd xyarray boundaries and reads random memory.

v2:

Now that xyarrays save their original dimensions we can use these to
iterate the two dimensional fd arrays. Fix some users (close, ioctl) in
evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code
and dropping quite a few function arguments. Adjust all callers by
removing the unneeded arguments.

The actual perf event reading still uses the original values from the
evsel list.

perf annotate: Check for fused instructions

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.

perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.

There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

perf stat: Collapse identically named events

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

perf evsel: Allow to ignore missing pid

Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool.

When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf
event syscall.

We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the
processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd.

The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids,
that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads
perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable
under certain setup.

With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with
following warning:

perf tools: Add infrastructure for PMU specific configuration

This patch adds PMU driver specific configuration to the parser
infrastructure by preceding any term with the '@' letter. As such doing
something like:

perf record -e some_event/@cfg1,@cfg2=config/ ...

will see 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' being added to the list of evsel
config terms. Token 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' are not processed in user
space and are meant to be interpreted by the PMU driver.

First the lexer/parser are supplemented with the required definitions to
recognise the driver specific configuration. From there they are simply
added to the list of event terms. The bulk of the work is done in
function "parse_events_add_pmu()" where driver config event terms are
added to a new list of driver config terms, which in turn spliced with
the event's new driver configuration list.

perf tools: Enable overwrite settings

This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

# perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

# perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v

perf evlist: Drop redundant evsel->overwrite indicator

evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into
overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to
evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove
evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead.

In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support
write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback
like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to
a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read
from an forward overwritable ring buffer.

perf evsel: Provide way to extract integer value from format_field

Out of perf_evsel__intval(), that requires passing the variable name,
that will then be searched in the list of tracepoint variables for the

Remove the union in evsel so that the database id and priv pointer can
be used simultainously without conflicting and crashing.

Detailed Description for the fixed bug follows:

perf script crashes with a segmentation fault on user space tool version
4.5.rc7.ge2857b when using the python database export API. It works
properly in 4.4 and prior versions.

the crash fist appeared in:

cfc8874a4859 ("perf script: Process cpu/threads maps")

How to reproduce the bug:

Remove any temporary files left over from a previous crash (if you have
already attemped to reproduce the bug):

$ rm -r test_db-perf-data
$ dropdb test_db

$ perf record timeout 1 yes >/dev/null
$ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py test_db

perf tools: Introduce bpf-output event

Commit a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper")
adds a helper to enable a BPF program to output data to a perf ring
buffer through a new type of perf event, PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT. This
patch enables perf to create events of that type. Now a perf user can
use the following cmdline to receive output data from BPF programs:

# perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
-e ./test_bpf_output.c/map:channel.event=evt/ ls /
# perf script
perf 1560 [004] 347747.086295: evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...

perf evsel: Use event maps directly in perf_evsel__enable

All events now share proper cpu and thread maps. There's no need to pass
those maps from evlist, it's safe to use evsel maps for enabling event.

perf bpf: Attach eBPF filter to perf event

This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After
applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like:

# perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls

A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the
callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'.

PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly
created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to
perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl,
EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.

Committer note:

The bpf proggie used so far:

__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
int fork(void *ctx)
{
return 0;
}

char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being
running in system wide mode.

That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above
always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered
away ;-/

Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that:

# trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o
0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
^C#

And it works with all tools, including 'perf trace'.

# 374ce938 28-Oct-2015 Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:

# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
# perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...

So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.

In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.

Basic result with and without inherit:

# perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio
# ...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 23641752891
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30428312415

# perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 11699501775
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 15058023559

Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:

# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 11895759282
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30668000441

Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:

# perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 23285400229
...
# Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 14969050259

Committer note:

One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:

# perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { 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
#

So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:

# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:

# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
#

We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in
the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case:

[root@zoo ~]# perf record -vv --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1

perf tools: Force period term to overload global settings

Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching

There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.

For example:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
[1] 464
# perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio | tee
...
# Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2092
...
# Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2
...

In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.

This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.

After applying this patch:

# perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio | tee
...
# Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
# Event count (approx.): 1
...
# Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2
...

# f47805a2 03-Jul-2015 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf evsel: Rename set_filter to apply_filter

We need to be able to go on constructing a complex filter in multiple
stages, since we can only set one filter per event.

For instance, we need to be able, in 'perf trace' to filter by the
'common_pid' field all the time, if only for the tracer itself, to
avoid a feedback loop, and, in addition, we may want to filter the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} events by its 'id' filter, when using
'perf trace -e open,close' or 'perf trace -e !open,close', i.e. when
we are interested in just a subset of syscalls or when we are not
interested in it.

So we will have:

perf_evsel__set_filter(evsel, char *filter)

Replaces whatever is in evsel->filter.

perf_evsel__append_filter(evsel, const char *op, char *filter)

Appends, using op ("&&" or "||") with what is in evsel->filter.

perf_evsel__apply_filter(evsel, filter):

That actually applies a filter, be it the one being
constructed in evsel->filter, or any other, for tools
with more specific ways to build the filter, issuing
the appropriate ioctl for all the evsel fds.

The same changes will be made to the evlist__{set,apply} variants to
keep everything consistent.

perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions

Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
implementations of printing perf_event_attr.

This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.

Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

perf evlist: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership

Enable perf evlist to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root.

Example:

# perf record ls
# chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
# ls -al perf.data
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28260 Apr 2 10:18 perf.data
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

# perf evlist
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf evlist -f
Error: unknown switch `f'

usage: perf evlist [<options>]

-i, --input <file> Input file name
-F, --freq Show the sample frequency
-v, --verbose Show all event attr details
-g, --group Show event group information

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.

After this patch:

# perf evlist
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf evlist -f
cycles

As shown above, the -f option really works now.

# 384b6055 05-Jan-2015 Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>

perf tools: Construct LBR call chain

LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.

The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
complete callstack.

For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
displayed.

A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
the call stack information from hardware.

Here are some examples.

When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:

echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like:

If using FP, perf report output looks like:

echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph fp bc -l < cmd

50.49% bc bc [.] bc_divide
|
--- bc_divide

--- _bc_do_sub
0.42% bc libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back
|
--- __memcpy_ssse3_back

If using LBR, perf report -D output looks like:

3458145275743 0x2fd750 [0xd8]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 9748/9748: 0x408ea8 period: 609644 addr: 0

The LBR call stack has the following known limitations:

- Zero length calls are not filtered out by the hardware

- Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not
match

- Pushing different return address onto the stack will have
calls/returns not match

- If callstack is deeper than the LBR, only the last entries are
captured

perf tools: Add per-pkg format file parsing

The .per-pkg file indicates that all but one value per socket should be
discarded. Adding support to check up this file and set event flag
accordingly.

This patch is part of Matt's original patch:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141527675002139&w=2 only the file
parsing part, the rest is solved differently.

perf tools: Add id index

Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT.

The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number
allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open(). Events
can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or
PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER.

Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the
evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel()

The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to
the mmap from which it was read. The reason that is useful is because the
mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread).
Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis. In full-trace mode, that
information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in
sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in
that case that the "id index" is needed.

So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id
by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel().

That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index".
idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of
evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels). The information can be
retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid(). Note however this all depends on
having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER,
otherwise ids are not recorded.

The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when
Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index().

perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly way

This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a
database-friendly way. The abstraction does not implement the actual
output. A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending
the script interface.

The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms
etc need to be exported only once. That means allocating them a unique
identifier and recording it on each structure. The member 'db_id' is
used for that. 'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number.

Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports
the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a
db_id.

perf tools: Remove hists from evsel

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.

tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support

This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and
scales as exported by the kernel.

The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor
via sysfs:

$ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale
/sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit
$ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
2.3283064365386962890625e-10
$ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
Joules

This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check
for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load
the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat
transparently:

# perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%]
1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/
1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%]
2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/
2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/
2.000749289 15817043 cycles

When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by
the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there
will be an empty field.

Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code
in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

perf target: Shorten perf_target__ to target__

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough
and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should
help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructor

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.

We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.

This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transaction

Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.

This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.

Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.

Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.

This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.

This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel

perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.

Example:

$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...
# Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
# Event count (approx.): 12585593

perf evsel: Introduce method to request IDs be used

When mmaping multiple events we need to find the right evsel that

For that we need to set the PERF_FORMAT_ID bit in
perf_event_attr.read_format so that when we read the event fds we get
that id to then hash it and be able later to use perf_evlist__id2evsel
to find the right evsel.

We also need to set the PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit in
perf_event_attr.sample_type to ask for that id to be stashed in each
sample, so that we can demux it.

So add a perf_evsel__set_sample_id() method to do those two things in

perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

perf tools: Fix attributes for '{}' defined event groups

Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'.

Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both
'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set
based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}'
defined groups as they don't set 'group' option.

Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is
common to both group definition.

Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead
perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group
leader links in place.

To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor,
perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open
the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file
to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call
perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

perf test: Add round trip test for sw and hw event names

It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays
creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to
check that the name is the expected one.

With it I noticed this problem:

[root@sandy ~]# perf test 10
10: roundtrip evsel->name check:invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
FAILED!

Changed it to "cpu-migrations" in the software event arrays and it
worked.

This is to catch problems like the one reported by Joel Uckelman in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1016

Hardware cache events will be checked in the following patch.

Use same type for ids everywhere.

In case of writing to perf.data the size is u32. In pipe mode it is
limited to header.size (less than u16). Adding a size check here.

Size overflow due to casting shouldn't actually happen in practice, but
during development this may cause type missmatch warninngs/errors,

# 6a4bb04c 07-Aug-2012 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls

# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

# f5b1135b 07-Aug-2012 Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

perf tools: Add support to update event modifier

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.

Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.

Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.

Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

perf evsel: Cache associated event_format

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.

Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).

This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

perf diff: Fix to work with new hists design

The perf diff command is broken since:
perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries
commit 1980c2ebd7020d82c024b8c4046849b38e78e7da

Several places were broken:
- hists data need to be collected into opened sessions instead
of into events
- session's hists data need to be initialized properly when the
session is created
- hist_entry__pcnt_snprintf: the percentage and displacement
buffer preparation must not use 'ret' because it's used
as a pointer to the final buffer

perf tools: Do not disable members of group event

When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu
was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will
be enabled on exec actually.

In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem
as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be
fixed anyway IMHO.

perf evlist: Fix grouping of multiple events

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.

So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.

At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.

More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.

But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

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 tool: Add cgroup support

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.

The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.

Example:

$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1

perf evlist: Move the mmap array from perf_evsel

Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map
per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the
first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that
cpu for the one with the mmap.

The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review
they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the
migrated methods to evlist.c.

With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record'
and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines,
establishing a common codebase for both tools.

perf tools: Fix perf_event.h header usage

This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file
between command modules and the supporting code in util.

It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME
perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree.

There were a couple of #include <linux/perf_event.h> mixed
with #include "../../perf_event.h".

This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch
in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually
led perf stat to segfault.

# 48290609 03-Jan-2011 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf evsel: Introduce per cpu and per thread open helpers

Abstracting away the loops needed to create the various event fd handlers.

The users have to pass a confiruged perf->evsel.attr field, which is already
usable after perf_evsel__new (constructor) time, using defaults.

Comes out of the ad-hoc routines in builtin-stat, that now uses it.

Fixed a small silly bug where we were die()ing before killing our
children, dysfunctional family this one 8-)

perf evsel: Steal the counter reading routines from stat

Making them hopefully generic enough to be used in 'perf test',
well see.

perf tools: Introduce event selectors

Out of ad-hoc code and global arrays with hard coded sizes.

This is the first step on having a library that will be first
used on regression tests in the 'perf test' tool.
