perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions

struct addr_location holds references to multiple reference counted
objects. Add init/exit functions to make maintenance of those more
consistent with the rest of the code and to try to avoid
leaks. Modification of thread reference counts isn't included in this
change.

Committer notes:

I needed to initialize result to sample->ip to make sure is set to
something, fixing a compile time error, mostly keeping the previous
logic as build_alloc_func_list() already does debugging/error prints
about what went wrong if it takes the 'goto out'.

perf thread: Add accessor functions for thread

Using accessors will make it easier to add reference count checking in
later patches.

Committer notes:

thread->nsinfo wasn't wrapped as it is used together with
nsinfo__zput(), where does a trick to set the field with a refcount
being dropped to NULL, and that doesn't work well with using
thread__nsinfo(thread), that loses the &thread->nsinfo pointer.

When refcount checking is added to 'struct thread', later in this
series, nsinfo__zput(RC_CHK_ACCESS(thread)->nsinfo) will be used to
check the thread pointer.

perf thread: Remove notion of dead threads

The dead thread list is best effort. Threads live on it until the
reference count hits zero and they are removed. With correct reference
counting this should never happen. It is, however, part of the 'perf
sched' output that is now removed. If this is an issue we should
implement tracking of dead threads in a robust not best-effort way.

perf map: Add accessor for dso

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with
dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so
that the reference count check is only necessary in one place.

Additional changes:
- add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls.
- in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for
dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent.
- in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

perf intel-pt: Synthesize cycle events

There is no good reason why we cannot synthesize "cycle" events from
Intel PT just as we can synthesize "instruction" events, in particular
when CYC packets are available. This enables using PT to getting much
more accurate cycle profiles than regular sampling (record -e cycles)
when the work last for very short periods (<10 ms). Thus, add support
for this, based off of the existing IPC calculation framework. The new
option to --itrace is "y" (for cYcles), as c was taken for calls. Cycle
and instruction events can be synthesized together, and are by default.

The only real caveat is that CYC packets are only emitted whenever some
other packet is, which in practice is when a branch instruction is
encountered (and not even all branches). Thus, even at no subsampling
(e.g. --itrace=y0ns), it is impossible to get more accuracy than a
single basic block, and all cycles spent executing that block will get
attributed to the branch instruction that ends the packet. Thus, one
cannot know whether the cycles came from e.g. a specific load, a
mispredicted branch, or something else. When subsampling (which is the
default), the cycle events will get smeared out even more, but will
still be generally useful to attribute cycle counts to functions.

perf intel-pt: Do not try to queue auxtrace data on pipe

When it processes AUXTRACE_INFO, it calls to auxtrace_queue_data() to
collect AUXTRACE data first. That won't work with pipe since it needs
lseek() to read the scattered aux data.

$ perf record -o- -e intel_pt// true | perf report -i- --itrace=i100
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
0x4118 [0xa0]: failed to process type: 70
Error:
failed to process sample

For the pipe mode, it can handle the aux data as it gets. But there's
no guarantee it can get the aux data in time. So the following warning
will be shown at the beginning:

WARNING: Intel PT with pipe mode is not recommended.
The output cannot relied upon. In particular,
time stamps and the order of events may be incorrect.

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 intel-pt: Fix segfault in intel_pt_print_info() with uClibc

uClibc segfaulted because NULL was passed as the format to fprintf().

That happened because one of the format strings was missing and
intel_pt_print_info() didn't check that before calling fprintf().

Add the missing format string, and check format is not NULL before calling
fprintf().

# 5d2b6bc3 17-May-2022 Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

perf intel-pt: Add guest_code support

A common case for KVM test programs is that the test program acts as the
hypervisor, creating, running and destroying the virtual machine, and
providing the guest object code from its own object code. In this case,
the VM is not running an OS, but only the functions loaded into it by the
hypervisor test program, and conveniently, loaded at the same virtual
addresses.

To support that, a new option "--guest-code" has been added in
previous patches.

In this patch, add support also to Intel PT.

In particular, ensure guest_code thread is set up before attempting to
walk object code or synthesize samples.

Example:

# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/cyc/ -- tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/kvm/tsc_msrs_test
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.280 MB perf.data ]

perf intel-pt: Add support for emulated ptwrite

ptwrite is an Intel x86 instruction that writes arbitrary values into an
Intel PT trace. It is not supported on all hardware, so provide an
alternative that makes use of TNT packets to convey the payload data.
TNT packets encode Taken/Not-taken conditional branch information, so
taking branches based on the payload value will encode the value into
the TNT packet. Refer to the changes to the documentation file
perf-intel-pt.txt in this patch for an example.

perf intel-pt: Support itrace A option to approximate IPC

Normally, for cycle-acccurate mode, IPC values are an exact number of
instructions and cycles. Due to the granularity of timestamps, that happens
only when a CYC packet correlates to the event.

Support the itrace 'A' option, to use instead, the number of cycles
associated with the current timestamp. This provides IPC information for
every change of timestamp, but at the expense of accuracy. Due to the
granularity of timestamps, the actual number of cycles increases even
though the cycles reported does not. The number of instructions is known,
but if IPC is reported, cycles can be too low and so IPC is too high. Note
that inaccuracy decreases as the period of sampling increases i.e. if the
number of cycles is too low by a small amount, that becomes less
significant if the number of cycles is large.

Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with dlfilter-show-cycles.so
to provide higher granularity cycle information.

perf intel-pt: Add a config for max loops without consuming a packet

The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.

Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.

Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

virtual machines can have different TSC Offsets. There is a Virtual Machine
Control Structure (VMCS) for each virtual CPU, the address of which is

to which virtual machine, so use a tree to keep track of VMCS information.
Then the decoder will be able to use the current VMCS value to look up the

perf intel-pt: Fix sample instruction bytes

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.

Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.

Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.

Example:

A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

# for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
rtm

Test program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>

int main()
{
int x = 0;

if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
x = 1;
_xabort(1);
} else {
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
return 0;
}

Compile with -mrtm i.e.

gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Record:

perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort

perf intel-pt: Add PSB events

Emitting a PSB+ can cause a CPU a slight delay. When doing timing analysis
of code with Intel PT, it is useful to know if a timing bubble was caused
by Intel PT or not. Add reporting of PSB events via perf script. PSB
events are printed with the existing itrace 'p' option which also prints
power and frequency changes. The PSB event contains the trace offset at
which the PSB occurs, to allow easy reference back to the PSB+ packets.

The PSB event timestamp is always the timestamp from the PSB+ TSC
packet, and the ip is always the address from the PSB+ FUP packet.

The code changes are non-trivial because the decoder must walk to the
PSB+ FUP address before outputting the PSB event.

perf report: Support instruction latency

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms,
e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory latency
(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.

The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.

Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.

Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,
accordingly.

Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

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 intel-pt: Fix "context_switch event has no tid" error

A context_switch event can have no tid because pids can be detached from
a task while the task is still running (in do_exit()). Note this won't
happen with per-task contexts because then tracing stops at
perf_event_exit_task()

If a task with no tid gets preempted, or a dying task gets preempted and
its parent releases it, when it subsequently gets switched back in,
Intel PT will not be able to determine what task is running and prints
an error "context_switch event has no tid". However, it is not really an
error because the task is in kernel space and the decoder can continue
to decode successfully. Fix by changing the error to be only a logged
message, and make allowance for tid == -1.

Example:

Using 5.9-rc4 with Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) e.g.
$ uname -r
5.9.0-rc4
$ grep PREEMPT .config

perf intel-pt: Fix corrupt data after perf inject from

Commit 42bbabed09ce6208 ("perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack")
changed the format of branch stacks in perf samples. When samples use
this new format, a flag must be set in the corresponding event.

Synthesized branch stacks generated from Intel PT were using the new
format, but not setting the event attribute, leading to consumers
seeing corrupt data. This patch fixes the issue by setting the event
attribute to indicate use of the new format.

perf intel-pt: Change branch stack support to use thread-stacks

Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:

1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces

This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.

Before:

# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt

After:

# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
# diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

perf thread-stack: Add branch stack support

Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context
(per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack
is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between
each sample.

That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to
regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated
separately for each thread.

As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting
branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are:

1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces

This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

perf callchain: Stitch LBR call stack

In LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits
to the number of LBR registers.

For example, on skylake, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack is
always <= 32.

# To display the perf.data header info, please use
# --header/--header-only options.

For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the
LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be
reconstructed.

However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous
sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet.
Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to
get a more complete call stack.

To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current
sample with previous sample.

- They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags
values, and the same physical index of LBR registers).

- The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample.

Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR
cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR
cursor nodes which are going to be stitched.

When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately.
They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space.
Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are
processed.

Committer notes:

Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct
branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc
versions.

Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging
includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in
terms of headers are already there.

This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when
cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what
was needed was being included by sheer luck.

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 maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.

The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.

That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.

First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

'session->itrace_synth_opts' is impossible to be a NULL pointer in

perf intel-pt: Add new packets for PEBS via PT

Add 3 new packets to supports PEBS via PT, namely Block Begin Packet
(BBP), Block Item Packet (BIP) and Block End Packet (BEP). PEBS data is
encoded into multiple BIP packets that come between BBP and BEP. The BEP
packet might be associated with a FUP packet. That is indicated by using
a separate packet type (INTEL_PT_BEP_IP) similar to other packets types
with the _IP suffix.

Refer to the Intel SDM for more information about PEBS via PT:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm
May 2019 version: Vol. 3B 18.5.5.2 PEBS output to Intel® Processor Trace

Decoding of BIP packets conflicts with single-byte TNT packets. Since
BIP packets only occur in the context of a block (i.e. between BBP and
BEP), that context must be recorded and passed to the packet decoder.

perf intel-pt: Fix itrace defaults for perf script

Commit 4eb068157121 ("perf script: Make itrace script default to all
calls") does not work because 'use_browser' is being used to determine
whether to default to periodic sampling (i.e. better for perf report).
The result is that nothing but CBR events display for perf script when
no --itrace option is specified.

Fix by using 'default_no_sample' and 'inject' instead.

Example:

Before:

$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u ls
$ perf script > cmp1.txt
$ perf script --itrace=cepwx > cmp2.txt
$ diff -sq cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt differ

After:

$ perf script > cmp1.txt
$ perf script --itrace=cepwx > cmp2.txt
$ diff -sq cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

perf thread-stack: Fix thread stack processing for the idle task

perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That
is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task
always has PID == TID == 0.

However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That
creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each
thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU.

Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle
"thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'. It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.

Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.

The flag when sync_switch is enabled was global to the decoding, whereas
it is really specific to the CPU.

The trace data for different CPUs is put on different queues, so add
sync_switch to the intel_pt_queue structure and use that in preference
to the global setting in the intel_pt structure.

That fixes problems decoding one CPU's trace because sync_switch was
disabled on a different CPU's queue.

possibility to have multiple files under perf.data, so the 'perf_data'
name fits better.

perf intel-pt: Synthesize new power and "ptwrite" events

Synthesize new power and ptwrite events.

Power events report changes to C-state but I have also added support
for the existing CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet and included that
when outputting power events.

The PTWRITE packet is associated with the new "ptwrite" instruction,
which is essentially just a way to stuff a 32 or 64 bit value into the
PT trace.

More details can be found in the patches that add documentation and in
the Intel SDM.

perf intel-pt: Allow decoding with branch tracing disabled

The kernel now supports the disabling of branch tracing, however the
decoder assumes branch tracing is always enabled. Pass through a parameter
to indicate whether branch tracing is enabled and use it to avoid cases
when the decoder is expecting branch packets. There are 2 such cases.
First, FUP packets which can bind to an IP even when there is no branch
tracing. Secondly, the decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP
to start decoding or to recover from errors.

The instruction buffer is presently used for debugging, so rename its

Note that the maximum instruction size is 15 which is a less efficient size

perf intel-pt: Fix snapshot overlap detection decoder errors

Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot
mode.

Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap.
The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the
current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain
synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap
checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between
the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data.
Make that change.

perf auxtrace: Add option to feed branches to the thread stack

In preparation for using the thread stack to print an indent
representing the stack depth in perf script, add an option to tell
decoders to feed branches to the thread stack. Add support for that
option to Intel PT and Intel BTS.

The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it
happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace
options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the
thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict
with using the thread stack to get callchains.

perf tools: Add support for skipping itrace instructions

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to
ignore the initialization code at the beginning.

On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in
initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf
script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.

This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n'
events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This
is much more efficient.

v2:
Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter)
Document in itrace.txt
Fix branch check
Check transactions and instructions too

To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e.

synthesizing PERF_RECORD_{MMAP*,COMM,FORK,EXIT} for pre-existing threads
and also in intel_pt and intel_bts when synthesizing events from
processor trace, the jitdump code also was affected, fix it.

The problem was noticed with running:

# perf record -e intel_pt//u true
# perf script

Where the samples wouldn't get resolved because perf_sample.cpumode
would be left as zero, i.e. PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_UNKNOWN, not
resolving as kernel, hypervisor or user cpu modes.

perf tools: Fix thread lifetime related segfaut in intel_pt

intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() creates a pt->unknown_thread thread
that eventually needs to be freed by the last thread__put() on it, when
its refcount hits zero, which may happen in
intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() error handling path and triggers the
following segfault, which would happen as well at intel_pt_free, when
tools using this intel_pt codebase frees up resources:

# perf record -I -e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=1/u /bin/ls
0 a anaconda-ks.cfg bin perf.data perf.data.old perf-f23-bringup.todo
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.217 MB perf.data ]
#
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#

The problem is: there's a union in 'struct thread' combines a list_head
and a rb_node. The standard life cycle of a thread is: init rb_node in
the constructor, insert it into machine->threads rbtree using rb_node,
move it to machine->dead_threads using list_head, clean in the last
thread__put: list_del_init(&thread->node).

In the above command, it clean a thread before adding it into list,
causes the above segfault.

Since pt->unknown_thread will never live in an rbtree, initialize its
list node so that when list_del_init() is done on it we don't segfault.

After this patch:

# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type

perf thread: Fix reference count initial state

We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the
object with a reference count of one, so that:

struct thread *thread = thread__new();
thread__put(thread);

Will call thread__delete().

If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use
thread__get(thread) to hold a reference.

We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases
where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem
because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use
thread__put() instead.

perf intel-pt: Add mispred-all config option to aid use with autofdo

autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or
predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags
are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT.

To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT
decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches.

Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is
also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo
(https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble
sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial)
amended to take the number of elements as a parameter.

$ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized
$ ./sort_optimized 30000
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2254 ms

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[intel-pt]
mispred-all

$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000
Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements
58 ms
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ]
$ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip
$ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1
$ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo
$ ./sort_autofdo 30000
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2155 ms

Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR,
but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

perf intel-pt: Support generating branch stack

Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The
decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for
each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding
window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid
overlapping intervals.

This is useful for:

- Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf
report branch view
- Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples
- Other users of LBRs

Also the Documentation is updated.

Examples:

Record with Intel PT:

perf record -e intel_pt//u ls

Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so:

perf report --itrace=ile

is the same as:

perf report --itrace=ile -b

Branch history can be requested also:

perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history

perf auxtrace: Fix 'instructions' period of zero

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.

--itrace=i10us

means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.

Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really
make sense.

Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".

In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

perf intel-pt: Add support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for
use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference
to sched_switch events.

This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or
multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However
it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH.

Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode
without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread.

Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in
decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is
executing.

perf tools: Fix use of wrong event when processing exit events

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used
instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events.

In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and
'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it
is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would
have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'.

However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid'
and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' ==
'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the
data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs.

It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in
practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix:

1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on
old kernels.

2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps
and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is
only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
end of the session

3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which
would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at
the end of the session instead

perf tools: Fix Intel PT timestamp handling

Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp value of -1.

Intel PT processing wasn't taking that into account.

This is particularly noticeable with Intel BTS because timestamps are
not requested by default.

Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results in a small number, the
processing is unaffected.

However if the conversion results in a big number, then the data is
processed prematurely before relevant sideband data like mmap events,
which in turn results in samples with unknown dsos.

Commiter note:

Since BTS wasn't upstream, I split the patch to fold the BTS part with
the patch introducing it, to avoid having this bug in the commit
history. PT was already upstream, so this patch contains that part.

Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by cpu or thread and then
