perf parse-events: Print all errors

Prior to this patch the first and the last error encountered during
parsing are printed. To see other errors verbose needs
enabling. Unfortunately this can drop useful errors, in particular on
terms. This patch changes the errors so that instead of the first and
last all errors are recorded and printed, the underlying data
structure is changed to a list.

Before:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots/edge=2/' true
event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'slots'

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/'
\___ Cannot find PMU `slots'. Missing kernel support?
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```

After:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots/edge=2/' true
event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'slots'

event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/'
\___ value too big for format (edge), maximum is 1

event syntax error: 'slots/edge=2/'
\___ Cannot find PMU `slots'. Missing kernel support?

perf parse-events: Make legacy events lower priority than sysfs/JSON

The perf tool has previously made legacy events the priority so with
or without a PMU the legacy event would be opened:

$ perf stat -e cpu-cycles,cpu/cpu-cycles/ true
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8D-1
intel_pt default config: tsc,mtc,mtc_period=3,psb_period=3,pt,branch
Attempting to add event pmu 'cpu' with 'cpu-cycles,' that may result in non-fatal errors

sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
...

Fixes to make hybrid/BIG.little PMUs behave correctly, ie as core PMUs
capable of opening legacy events on each, removing hard coded "cpu_core"
and "cpu_atom" Intel PMU names, etc. caused a behavioral difference on
Apple/ARM due to latent issues in the PMU driver reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/08f1f185-e259-4014-9ca4-6411d5c1bc65@marcan.st/

As part of that report Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> requested
that legacy events not be higher in priority when a PMU is specified
reversing what has until this change been perf's default behavior. With
this change the above becomes:

$ perf stat -e cpu-cycles,cpu/cpu-cycles/ true
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8D-1
Attempt to add: cpu/cpu-cycles=0/
..after resolving event: cpu/event=0x3c/
Control descriptor is not initialized
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
size 136
config 0 (PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1

------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:

size 136
config 0x3c
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
...

So the second event has become a raw event as
/sys/devices/cpu/events/cpu-cycles exists.

A fix was necessary to config_term_pmu in parse-events.c as check_alias
expansion needs to happen after config_term_pmu, and config_term_pmu may
need calling a second time because of this.

config_term_pmu is updated to not use the legacy event when the PMU has
such a named event (either from JSON or sysfs).

The bulk of this change is updating all of the parse-events test
expectations so that if a sysfs/JSON event exists for a PMU the test
doesn't fail - a further sign, if it were needed, that the legacy event
priority was a known and tested behavior of the perf tool.

perf pmu: Lazily compute default config

The default config is computed during creation of the PMU and may do
things like scanning sysfs, when the PMU may just be used as part of
scanning. Change default_config to perf_event_attr_init_default, a
callback that is used when a default config needs initializing. This
avoids holding onto the memory for a perf_event_attr and copying.

On a tigerlake laptop running the pmu-scan benchmark:

Before:
Running 'internals/pmu-scan' benchmark:
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 100 times
Average core PMU scanning took: 28.780 usec (+- 0.503 usec)
Average PMU scanning took: 283.480 usec (+- 18.471 usec)
Number of openat syscalls: 30,227

After:
Running 'internals/pmu-scan' benchmark:
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 100 times
Average core PMU scanning took: 27.880 usec (+- 0.169 usec)
Average PMU scanning took: 245.260 usec (+- 15.758 usec)
Number of openat syscalls: 28,914

Over 3 runs it is a nearly 12% reduction in execution time and a 4.3%
of openat calls.

# 0d3f0e6f 01-Sep-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Introduce 'struct parse_events_terms'

parse_events_terms() existed in function names but was passed a
'struct list_head'.

As many parse_events functions take an evsel_config list as well as a
parse_event_term list, and the naming head_terms and head_config is
inconsistent, there's a potential to switch the lists and get errors.

Introduce a 'struct parse_events_terms', that just wraps a list_head, to
avoid this. Add the regular init/exit functions and transition the code
to use them.

perf parse-events: Copy fewer term lists

When trying to add events to multiple PMUs the term list is copied first
as adding the event will rewrite the event's name term into the sysfs
and/or json encoding terms (see perf_pmu__check_alias).

Change the parse events add API so the passed in term list is const,
then copy the list when modification is necessary.

perf parse-events: Fixes relating to no_value terms

A term may have no value in which case it is assumed to have a value
of 1. It doesn't just apply to alias/event terms so change the
parse_events_term__to_strbuf assert.

Commit 99e7138eb7897aa0 ("perf tools: Fail on using multiple bits long
terms without value") made it so that no_value terms could only be for a
single bit. Prior to commit 64199ae4b8a3 ("perf parse-events: Fix
propagation of term's no_value when cloning") this missed a test case
where config1 had no_value.

perf parse-events: Fix propagation of term's no_value when cloning

The no_value field in 'struct parse_events_term' indicates that the val
variable isn't used, the case for an event name.

Cloning wasn't propagating this, making cloned event name terms
appearing to have a constant assinged to them.

Working around the bug would check for a value of 1 assigned to value,
but then this meant a user value of 1 couldn't be differentiated causing
the value to be lost in debug printing and perf list.

The change fixes the cloning and updates the "val.num ==/!= 1" tests to
use no_value instead.

To better check the no_value is set appropriately parameter comments are
added for constant values.

This found that no_value wasn't set correctly in parse_events_multi_pmu_add,
which matters now that no_value is used to indicate an event name.

perf pmu: Parse sysfs events directly from a file

Rather than read a sysfs events file into a 256 byte char buffer, pass
the FILE* directly to the lex/yacc parser.

This avoids there being a maximum events file size.

While changing the API, constify some arguments to remove unnecessary
casts.

Allocating the read buffer decreases the performance of pmu-scan by
around 3%.

perf parse-events: Improve error message for double setting

Double setting information for an event would produce an error message
associated with the PMU rather than the term that was double setting.
Improve the error message to be on the term.

Before:

$ perf stat -e 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/' true
event syntax error: 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'cpu'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
$

After:

$ perf stat -e 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/' true
event syntax error: '..etired.any,inst_retired.any/'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'cpu'

Initial error:

event syntax error: '..etired.any,inst_retired.any/'
\___ Attempt to set event's scale twice

perf pmu: Abstract alias/event struct

In order to be able to lazily compute aliases/events for a PMU, move
the struct perf_pmu_alias into pmu.c.

Add perf_pmu__find_event and perf_pmu__for_each_event that take a
callback that is called for the found event or for each event.

The layout of struct pmu and the event/alias list is unchanged but the
API is altered so that aliases are no longer directly accessed, allowing
for later changes.

# 3d6dfae8 11-Aug-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support

New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.

This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.

The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:

```
util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
```

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.

Testing it:

# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Bad event or PMU

perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF map

This reverts commit e571e029bdbf ("perf tools: Enable indices setting
syntax for BPF map").

The reverted commit added a notion of arrays that could be set as
event terms for BPF events. The parsing hasn't worked over multiple
Linux releases. Given the broken nature of the parsing it appears the
code isn't in use, nor could I find a way for it to be used to add a
test.

The original commit contains a test in the commit message,
however, running it yields:
```
$ perf record -e './test_bpf_map_3.c/map:channel.value[0,1,2,3...5]=101/' usleep 2
event syntax error: '..pf_map_3.c/map:channel.value[0,1,2,3...5]=101/'
\___ parser error

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```

Given the code can't be used this commit reverts and removes it.

# b161f25f 18-Jul-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Only move force grouped evsels when sorting

Prior to this change, events without a group would be sorted as if they
were from the location of the first event without a group. For example
instructions and cycles are without a group:

instructions,{imc_free_running/data_read/,imc_free_running/data_write/},cycles

parse events would create an eventual evlist like:

instructions,cycles,{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}

This is done so that perf metric events, that must always be in a
group, will be adjacent and so can be forced into a group.

This change modifies the sorting so that only force grouped events,
like perf metrics, are sorted and all other events keep their position
with respect to groups in the evlist. The location of the force
grouped event is chosen to match the first force grouped event.

For architectures without force grouped events, ie anything not Intel
Icelake or newer, this should mean sorting and fixing doesn't modify
the event positions except when fixing the grouping for PMUs of things
like uncore events.

perf parse-events: When fixing group leaders always set the leader

The evsel grouping fix iterates over evsels tracking the leader group
and the current position's group, updating the current position's leader
if an evsel is being forced into a group or groups changed. However,
groups changing isn't a sufficient condition as sorting may have
reordered events and the leader may no longer come first. For this
reason update all leaders whenever they disagree.

This change breaks certain Icelake+ metrics due to bugs in the
kernel. For example, tma_l3_bound with threshold enabled tries to
program the events:

{topdown-retiring,slots,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L2_MISS,topdown-fe-bound,EXE_ACTIVITY.BOUND_ON_STORES,EXE_ACTIVITY.1_PORTS_UTIL,topdown-be-bound,cpu/INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES,cmask=1,edge/,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L3_MISS,CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_MEM_ANY,EXE_ACTIVITY.2_PORTS_UTIL,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_TOTAL,topdown-bad-spec}:W

fixing the perf metric event order gives:

{slots,topdown-retiring,topdown-fe-bound,topdown-be-bound,topdown-bad-spec,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L2_MISS,EXE_ACTIVITY.BOUND_ON_STORES,EXE_ACTIVITY.1_PORTS_UTIL,cpu/INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES,cmask=1,edge/,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L3_MISS,CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_MEM_ANY,EXE_ACTIVITY.2_PORTS_UTIL,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_TOTAL}:W

Both of these return "<not counted>" for all events, whilst they work
with the group removed respecting that the perf metric events must still
be grouped. A vendor events update will need to add METRIC_NO_GROUP to
these metrics to workaround the kernel PMU driver issue.

perf parse-events: Extra care around force grouped events

Perf metric (topdown) events on Intel Icelake+ machines require a
group, however, they may be next to events that don't require a group.
Consider:

cycles,slots,topdown-fe-bound

The cycles event needn't be grouped but slots and topdown-fe-bound need
grouping.

Prior to this change, as slots and topdown-fe-bound need a group forcing
and all events share the same PMU, slots and topdown-fe-bound would be
forced into a group with cycles.

This is a bug on two fronts, cycles wasn't supposed to be grouped and
cycles can't be a group leader with a perf metric event.

This change adds recognition that cycles isn't force grouped and so it
shouldn't be force grouped with slots and topdown-fe-bound.

perf parse-events: Avoid SEGV if PMU lookup fails for legacy cache terms

libfuzzer found the following command could SEGV:

$ perf stat -e cpu/L2,L2/ true

This is because the L2 term rewrites the perf_event_attr type to
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE which then fails the PMU lookup for the second
legacy cache term.

The new failure is consistent with repeated hardware terms:

This makes breakpoint events consistent with other events which already

Committer notes:

Folded follow up patch (see 2nd link below) to address warnings about
unused tokens:

perf tools: Suppress bison unused value warnings

Patch "perf tools: Allow config terms with breakpoints" introduced parse
tokens for colons and slashes within breakpoint parsing to prevent mix
up with colons and slashes related to config terms.

The token values are not needed but introduce bison "unused value"
warnings.

Suppress those warnings.

perf pmu: Warn about invalid config for all PMUs and configs

Don't just check the raw PMU type, the only core PMU on homogeneous x86,
check raw and all dynamically added PMUs. Extend the
perf_pmu__warn_invalid_config to check all 4 config values.

Rather than process the format list once per event, store the computed
masks for each config value.

Don't ignore the mask being zero, which is likely for config2 and
config3, add config_masks_present so config values can be ignored only
when no format information is present.

perf parse-events: Wildcard most "numeric" events

Numeric events are either raw events or those with ABI defined numbers
matched by the lexer. PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE events
should wildcard match on hybrid systems. So "cycles" should match each
PMU type with an extended type, not just PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE.

Change wildcard matching to add the event even if wildcard PMU
scanning fails, there will be no extended type but this best matches
previous behavior.

Only set the extended type when the event type supports it and when
perf_pmus__supports_extended_type is true. This new function returns
true if >1 core PMU and avoids potential errors on older kernels.

Modify evsel__compute_group_pmu_name using a helper
perf_pmu__is_software to determine when grouping should occur. Try to
use PMUs, and evsel__find_pmu, as being more dependable than
evsel->pmu_name.

Set a parse events error if a hardware term's PMU lookup fails, to
provide extra diagnostics.

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.

perf pmus: Allow just core PMU scanning

Scanning all PMUs is expensive as all PMUs sysfs entries are loaded,
benchmarking shows more than 4x the cost:

```
$ perf bench internals pmu-scan -i 1000
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 1000 times
Average core PMU scanning took: 989.231 usec (+- 1.535 usec)
Average PMU scanning took: 4309.425 usec (+- 74.322 usec)
```

Add new perf_pmus__scan_core routine that scans just core
PMUs. Replace perf_pmus__scan calls with perf_pmus__scan_core when
non-core PMUs are being ignored.

perf evsel: Add is_pmu_core inorder to interpret own_cpus

The behaviour of handling cpu maps varies for core and other PMUs. For
core PMUs the cpu map lists all valid CPUs, whereas for other PMUs the
map is the default CPU. Add a flag in the evsel to indicate if a PMU
is core to help with later interpreting of the cpu maps and populate
it when the evsel is created during parsing. When propagating cpu
maps, core PMUs should intersect the cpu map of the PMU with the user
requested one.

perf parse-events: Support hardware events as terms

An event like "cpu/instructions/" typically parses due to there being
a sysfs event called instructions. On hybrid recursive parsing means
that the hardware event is encoded in the attribute, with the PMU
being placed in the high bits of the config:

'''
$ perf stat -vv -e 'cpu_core/cycles/' true
...
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
size 136
config 0x400000000
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
------------------------------------------------------------
'''

Make this behavior the default by adding a new term type and token for
hardware events. The token gathers both the numeric config and the
parsed name, so that if the token appears like "cycles/name=cycles/"
then the token can be handled like a name. The numeric value isn't
sufficient to distinguish say "cpu-cycles" from "cycles".

Extend the parse-events test so that all current non-PMU hardware
parsing tests, also test with the PMU cpu - more than half the change.

and on each hybrid PMU on hybrid systems. Rather than iterate hybrid
PMUs add a perf_pmu__supports_wildcard_numeric function that says when

specifies the type of the PMU then don't wildcard match PMUs, use the

perf parse-events: Wildcard legacy cache events

It is inconsistent that "perf stat -e instructions-retired" wildcard
opens on all PMUs while legacy cache events like "perf stat -e
L1-dcache-load-miss" do not. A behavior introduced by hybrid is that a
legacy cache event like L1-dcache-load-miss should wildcard open on
all hybrid PMUs. Previously hybrid would call to is_event_supported
for each PMU, a failure of which results in the event not being
added. This isn't done in this case as the parser should just create
perf_event_attr and the later open should fail, or the counter give
"<not counted>". If this wants to be avoided then the PMU can be named
with the event.

perf parse-events: Support PMUs for legacy cache events

Allow a legacy cache event to be both, for example,
"L1-dcache-load-miss" and "cpu/L1-dcache-load-miss/" by introducing a
new legacy cache term type.

The term type is processed in config_term_pmu, setting both the type in
perf_event_attr and the config.

The code to determine the config is factored out of
parse_events_add_cache and shared. If the PMU doesn't support legacy
events, currently just core/hybrid PMUs do, then the term is treated
like a PE_NAME term - as before.

If only terms are being parsed, such as for perf_pmu__new_alias, then
the PE_LEGACY_CACHE token is always parsed as PE_NAME.

perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs before parsing

The event parser needs to handle two special cases:
1) legacy events like L1-dcache-load-miss. These event names don't
appear in JSON or sysfs, and lookup tables are used for the config
value.
2) raw events where 'r0xead' is the same as 'read' unless the PMU has
an event called 'read' in which case the event has priority.

The previous parser to handle these cases would scan all PMUs for
components of event names. These components would then be used to
classify in the lexer whether the token should be part of a legacy
event, a raw event or an event. The grammar would handle legacy event
tokens or recombining the tokens back into a regular event name. The
code wasn't PMU specific and had issues around events like AMD's
branch-brs that would fail to parse as it expects brs to be a suffix
on a legacy event style name:

$ perf stat -e branch-brs true
event syntax error: 'branch-brs'
\___ parser error

This change removes processing all PMUs by using the lexer in the form
of a regular expression matcher. The lexer will return the token for
the longest matched sequence of characters, and in the event of a tie
the first. The legacy events are a fixed number of regular
expressions, and by matching these before a name token its possible to
generate an accurate legacy event token with everything else matching
as a name. Because of the lexer change the handling of hyphens in the
grammar can be removed as hyphens just become a part of the name.

To handle raw events and terms the parser is changed to defer trying
to evaluate whether something is a raw event until the PMU is known in
the grammar. Once the PMU is known, the events of the PMU can be
scanned for the 'read' style problem. A new term type is added for
these raw terms, used to enable deferring the evaluation.

While this change is large, it has stats of:
170 insertions(+), 436 deletions(-)
the bulk of the change is deleting the old approach. It isn't possible
to break apart the code added due to the dependencies on how the parts
of the parsing work.

perf parse-events: Don't reorder ungrouped events by PMU

The pmu_group_name by default returns "cpu" which on non-hybrid/ARM
means that ungrouped software, and hardware events are all going to
sort by the original insertion index.

However, on hybrid and ARM wildcard expansion may mean the PMU name is
set and events will be unnecessarily reordered - triggering the
reordering warning.

perf record: Add BPF event filter support

Use --filter option to set BPF filter for generic events other than the
tracepoints or Intel PT. The BPF program will check the sample data and
filter according to the expression.

For example, the below is the typical perf record for frequency mode.
The sample period started from 1 and increased gradually.

$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles true
$ sudo ./perf script
perf-exec 2272336 546683.916875: 1 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])

perf parse-events: Warn when events are regrouped

Use if an event is reordered or the number of groups increases to
signal that regrouping has happened and warn about it. Disable the
warning in the case wild card PMU names are used and for metrics.

perf evlist: Remove nr_groups

Maintaining the number of groups during event parsing is problematic
and since changing to sort/regroup events can only be computed by a
linear pass over the evlist. As the value is generally only used in
tests, rather than hold it in a variable compute it by passing over
the evlist when necessary.

This change highlights that libpfm's counting of groups with a single
entry disagreed with regular event parsing. The libpfm tests are
updated accordingly.

# 347c2f0a 11-Mar-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Sort and group parsed events

This change is intended to be a no-op for most current cases, the
default sort order is the order the events were parsed. Where it
varies is in how groups are handled. Previously an uncore and core
event that are grouped would most often cause the group to be removed:

```
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/}' -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
anon group { instructions, uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/ }
...
```

However, when wildcards are used the events should be re-sorted and
re-grouped in parse_events__set_leader, but this currently fails for
simple examples:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
<not counted> MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

1.000996992 seconds time elapsed
```

A futher failure mode, fixed in this patch, is to force topdown events
into a group.

This change moves sorting the evsels in the evlist after parsing. It
requires parsing to set up groups. First the evsels are sorted
respecting the existing groupings and parse order, but also reordering
to ensure evsels of the same PMU and group appear together. So that
software and aux events respect groups, their pmu_name is taken from
the group leader. The sorting is done with list_sort removing a memory
allocation.

After sorting a pass is done to correct the group leaders and for
topdown events ensuring they have a group leader.

This fixes the problems seen before:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

727.42 MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
81.84 MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

1.000948615 seconds time elapsed
```

As well as making groups not fail for cases like:

```
$ perf stat -e '{imc_free_running_0/data_total/,imc_free_running_1/data_total/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

256.47 MiB imc_free_running_0/data_total/
256.48 MiB imc_free_running_1/data_total/

1.001165442 seconds time elapsed

perf pmu-events: Remove now unused event and metric variables

Previous changes separated the uses of pmu_event and pmu_metric,
however, both structures contained all the variables of event and
metric. This change removes the event variables from metric and the
metric variables from event.

Note, this change removes the setting of evsel's metric_name/expr as
these fields are no longer part of struct pmu_event. The metric
remains but is no longer implicitly requested when the event is. This
impacts a few Intel uncore events, however, as the ScaleUnit is shared
by the event and the metric this utility is questionable. Also the
MetricNames look broken (contain spaces) in some cases and when trying
to use the functionality with '-e' the metrics fail but regular
metrics with '-M' work. For example, on SkylakeX '-M' works:

```
$ perf stat -M LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 # 57896.0 Bytes LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE (49.84%)

63 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 (50.15%)

```

whilst the event '-e' version is broken even with --group/-g (fwiw, we should also remove -g [1]):

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>

to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

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: Skip and warn on unknown format 'configN' attrs

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.

Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:

$ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
\___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list
available events

After this change, I get:

$ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]

To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

perf parse-events: Remove "not supported" hybrid cache events

By default, we create two hybrid cache events, one is for cpu_core, and
another is for cpu_atom. But Some hybrid hardware cache events are only
available on one CPU PMU. For example, the 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only
available on cpu_core, while the 'L1-icache-loads' is only available on
cpu_atom. We need to remove "not supported" hybrid cache events. By
extending is_event_supported() to global API and using it to check if the
hybrid cache events are supported before being created, we can remove the
"not supported" hybrid cache events.

Before:

# ./perf stat -e L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-icache-loads -a sleep 1

52,570 cpu_core/L1-dcache-load-misses/

The evsel system_wide flag is intended for events that should be on every

These 2 requirements are not exactly the same, so introduce a new flag

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 .':

perf parse: Fix event parser error for hybrid systems

This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.

UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/

It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.

This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

Before:

# perf stat -v -e UOPS_RETIRED.MS -a sleep 1

Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:

$ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

3,183,090 slots
986,133 topdown-fe-bound

Reversing the events yields:

$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).

For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.

Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.

The result is:

$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

3,274,795 slots
1,001,702 topdown-fe-bound

A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.

The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

5574985410 slots
971981616 instructions
1348461887 topdown-fe-bound

2.001263120 seconds time elapsed

Without the change:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> topdown-fe-bound

2.006247990 seconds time elapsed

Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.

perf list: Display hybrid PMU events with cpu type

Add a new option '--cputype' to 'perf list' to display core-only PMU
events or atom-only PMU events.

Each hybrid PMU event has been assigned with a PMU name, this patch
compares the PMU name before listing the result.

For example:

perf list --cputype atom
...
cache:
core_reject_l2q.any
[Counts the number of request that were not accepted into the L2Q because the L2Q is FULL. Unit: cpu_atom]
...

The "Unit: cpu_atom" is displayed in the brief description section
to indicate this is an atom event.

perf parse-events: Allow config on kernel PMU events

An event like inst_retired.any on an Intel skylake is found in the
pmu-events code created from the pipeline event JSON.

The event is an alias for cpu/event=0xc0,period=2000003/ and
parse-events recognizes the event with the token PE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT.

The parser doesn't currently allow extra configuration on such events,
except for modifiers, so:

$ perf stat -e inst_retired.any// /bin/true
event syntax error: 'inst_retired.any//'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

This patch adds configuration to these events which can be useful for a
number of parameters like name and call-graph:

$ sudo perf record -e inst_retired.any/call-graph=lbr/ -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.856 MB perf.data (44 samples) ]

It is necessary for the metric code so that we may add metric-id values
to these events before they are parsed.

# 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.

Before:
L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event]

Now we can clearly see 'L1-dcache-load-misses' is only available

If without pmu prefix, it indicates the event is available on both

- get leader evsel

bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- true if evsel has leader as leader

bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- true if evsel is itw own leader

void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- set leader for evsel

Committer notes:

Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1'

Committer notes:

The kernel patches landed in v5.13, but this entry wasn't filled in
perf's parse-events tables, which was leading to a segfault when running
'perf list' on a kernel with that feature, as reported by Thomas
Richter.

Also removed the part touching tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h as
it was updated in the usual sync with the kernel UAPI headers, in a
previous, already upstream, patch.

perf parse-events: Support event inside hybrid pmu

On hybrid platform, user may want to enable events on one pmu.

Following syntax are supported:

cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/

But the syntax doesn't work for cache event.

Before:

# perf stat -e cpu_core/LLC-loads/ -a -- sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu_core/LLC-loads/'
\___ unknown term 'LLC-loads' for pmu 'cpu_core'

Cache events are a bit complex. We can't create aliases for them.
We use another solution. For example, if we use "cpu_core/LLC-loads/",
in parse_events_add_pmu(), term->config is "LLC-loads".

Then we create a new parser to scan "LLC-loads". The
parse_events_add_cache() would be called during parsing.
The parse_state->hybrid_pmu_name is used to identify the pmu
where the event should be enabled on.

After:

# perf stat -e cpu_core/LLC-loads/ -a -- sleep 1

24,593 cpu_core/LLC-loads/

On hybrid platform, user may want to enable event only on one pmu.
Following syntax will be supported:

cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/

For hardware event, hardware cache event and raw event, two events
are created by default. We pass the specified pmu name in parse_state
and it would be checked before event creation. So next only the
event with the specified pmu would be created.

perf parse-events: Create two hybrid cache events

For cache events, they have pre-defined configs. The kernel needs
to know where the cache event comes from (e.g. from cpu_core pmu
or from cpu_atom pmu). But the perf type PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
can't carry pmu information.

Now the type PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE is extended to be PMU aware type.
The PMU type ID is stored at attr.config[63:32].

When enabling a hybrid cache event without specified pmu, such as,
'perf stat -e LLC-loads -a', two events are created
automatically. One is for atom, the other is for core.

perf parse-events: Create two hybrid hardware events

Current hardware events has special perf types PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE.
But it doesn't pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid
system, the perf kernel doesn't know which PMU the events belong to.

So now this type is extended to be PMU aware type. The PMU type ID
is stored at attr.config[63:32].

PMU type ID is retrieved from sysfs.

root@lkp-adl-d01:/sys/devices/cpu_atom# cat type
8

root@lkp-adl-d01:/sys/devices/cpu_core# cat type
4

When enabling a hybrid hardware event without specified pmu, such as,
'perf stat -e cycles -a', two events are created automatically. One
is for atom, the other is for core.

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.

perf stat: Introduce ':b' modifier

Introduce 'b' modifier to event parser, which means use BPF program to
manage this event. This is the same as --bpf-counters option, but only
applies to this event. For example,

perf stat -e cycles:b,cs # use bpf for cycles, but not cs
perf stat -e cycles,cs --bpf-counters # use bpf for both cycles and cs

perf pmu: Validate raw event with sysfs exported format bits

A raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN is supported
by perf but lacks of checking for the validity of raw encoding.

For example, bit 16 and bit 17 are not valid on KBL but perf doesn't
report warning when encoding with these bits.

Before:

# ./perf stat -e cpu/r031234/ -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 cpu/r031234/

1.003798924 seconds time elapsed

It may silently measure the wrong event!

The kernel supported bits have been exported through
/sys/devices/<pmu>/format/. Perf collects the information to
'struct perf_pmu_format' and links it to 'pmu->format' list.

The 'struct perf_pmu_format' has a bitmap which records the
valid bits for this format. For example,

root@kbl-ppc:/sys/devices/cpu/format# cat umask
config:8-15

The valid bits (bit8-bit15) are recorded in bitmap of format 'umask'.

We collect total valid bits of all formats, save to a local variable
'masks' and reverse it. Now '~masks' represents total invalid bits.

bits = config & ~masks;

The set bits in 'bits' indicate the invalid bits used in config.
Finally we use bitmap_scnprintf to report the invalid bits.

Some architectures may not export supported bits through sysfs,
so if masks is 0, perf_pmu__warn_invalid_config directly returns.

After:

Single event without name:

# ./perf stat -e cpu/r031234/ -a -- sleep 1
WARNING: event 'N/A' not valid (bits 16-17 of config '31234' not supported by kernel)!

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 cpu/r031234/

1.001597373 seconds time elapsed

Multiple events with names:

# ./perf stat -e cpu/rf01234,name=aaa/,cpu/r031234,name=bbb/ -a -- sleep 1
WARNING: event 'aaa' not valid (bits 20,22 of config 'f01234' not supported by kernel)!
WARNING: event 'bbb' not valid (bits 16-17 of config '31234' not supported by kernel)!

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 aaa
0 bbb

1.001573787 seconds time elapsed

Warnings are reported for invalid bits.

perf tools: Add support for exclusive groups/events

Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could avoid some
problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive is implemented in the
kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without
custom low level API users.

Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the
perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the existing
pinned attribute.

Committer testing:

perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting

Currently if we run 'perf record -e cycles:u', exclude_guest=0.

But it doesn't make sense in most cases that we request for
user-space counting but we also get the guest report.

Of course, we also need to consider 'perf kvm' usage case that
authorized perf users on the host may only want to count guest user
space events. For example,

# perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u

When we have 'exclude_guest=1' for 'perf kvm' usage, we may get nothing
from guest events.

To keep perf semantics consistent and clear, this patch sets
exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting but except for 'perf kvm' usage.

Before:

perf record -e cycles:u ./div
perf evlist -v
cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, ...

After:
perf record -e cycles:u ./div
perf evlist -v
cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, exclude_guest: 1, ...

Before:
perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:

size 120
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_kernel 1
exclude_hv 1
freq 1
sample_id_all 1

After:

perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:
size 120
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_kernel 1
exclude_hv 1
freq 1
sample_id_all 1

For Before/After, exclude_guest are both 0 for perf kvm usage.

perf tools: Fix term parsing for raw syntax

Jin Yao reported issue with possible conflict between raw events and
term values in pmu event syntax.

Currently following syntax is resolved as raw event with 0xead value:

uncore_imc_free_running/read/

instead of using 'read' term from uncore_imc_free_running pmu, because
'read' is correct raw event syntax with 0xead value.

To solve this issue we do following:

- check existing terms during rXXXX syntax processing
and make them priority in case of conflict

- allow pmu/r0x1234/ syntax to be able to specify conflicting
raw event (implemented in previous patch)

Also add automated tests for this and perf_pmu__parse_cleanup call to
parse_events_terms, so the test gets properly cleaned up.

Fixes: 3a6c51e4d66c ("perf parser: Add support to specify rXXX event with pmu")

perf parse-events: Report BPF errors

Setting the parse_events_error directly doesn't increment num_errors
causing the error message not to be displayed. Use the
parse_events__handle_error function that sets num_errors and handle
multiple errors.

Committer notes:

Ian provided a before/after upon request:

Before:

$ /tmp/perf/perf record -e /tmp/perf/util/parse-events.o
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available event

After:

$ /tmp/perf/perf record -e /tmp/perf/util/parse-events.o
event syntax error: '/tmp/perf/util/parse-events.o'
\___ Failed to load /tmp/perf/util/parse-events.o: BPF object format invalid

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

perf parse: Provide a way to pass a fake_pmu to parse_events()

This is an alternative patch to what Jiri sent that instead of changing
all callers to parse_events() for allowing to pass a fake_pmu, provide
another function specifically for that.

From Jiri's patch:

This way it's possible to parse events from PMUs which are not present
in the system. It's available only for testing purposes coming in
following changes, so all the current users set fake_pmu argument as
false.

perf tools: Add fake pmu support

Add a way to create a pmu event without the actual PMU being in place.

This way we can test metrics defined for any processor.

The interface is to define fake_pmu in struct parse_events_state data.
It will be used only in tests via special interface function added in
following changes.

# 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.

perf stat: Fail on extra comma while parsing events

Ian reported that we allow to parse following:

$ perf stat -e ,cycles true

which is wrong and we should fail, like we do with this fix:

$ perf stat -e ,cycles true
event syntax error: ',cycles'
\___ parser error

The reason is that we don't have rule for ',' in 'event' start condition
and it's matched and accepted by default rule.

Add scanner debug support (that Ian already added for expr code),
which was really useful for finding this. It's enabled together with
bison debug via 'make PARSER_DEBUG=1'.

perf parse-events: Make add PMU verbose output clearer

On a CPU like skylakex an uncore_iio_0 PMU may alias with
uncore_iio_free_running_0. The latter PMU doesn't support fc_mask as a
parameter and so pmu_config_term fails. Typically parse_events_add_pmu
is called in a loop where if one alias succeeds errors are ignored,
however, if multiple errors occur parse_events__handle_error will
currently give a WARN_ONCE.

This change removes the WARN_ONCE in parse_events__handle_error and
makes it a pr_debug. It adds verbose messages to parse_events_add_pmu
warning that non-fatal errors may occur, while giving details on the pmu
and config terms for useful context. pmu_config_term is altered so the
failing term and pmu are present in the case of the 'unknown term' error
which makes spotting the free_running case more straightforward.

So before you see a 'WARNING: multiple event parsing errors' and
'Invalid event/parameter'. After you see 'Attempting... that may result
in non-fatal errors' then 'Multiple errors...' with details that
'fc_mask' wasn't known to a free running counter. While not completely
clean, this makes it clearer that an error hasn't really occurred.

perf parse-events: Fix incorrect conversion of 'if () free()' to 'zfree()'

When applying a patch by Ian I incorrectly converted to zfree() an
expression that involved testing some other struct member, not the one
being freed, which lead to bugs reproduceable by:

$ perf stat -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o sleep 1
WARNING: multiple event parsing errors
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$

Fix it by restoring the test for pos->free_str before freeing
pos->val.str, but continue using zfree(&pos->val.str) to set that member
to NULL after freeing it.

# 8510895b 29-Apr-2020 Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

perf parse-events: Use strcmp() to compare the PMU name

A big uncore event group is split into multiple small groups which only
include the uncore events from the same PMU. This has been supported in
the commit 3cdc5c2cb924a ("perf parse-events: Handle uncore event
aliases in small groups properly").

If the event's PMU name starts to repeat, it must be a new event.
That can be used to distinguish the leader from other members.
But now it only compares the pointer of pmu_name
(leader->pmu_name == evsel->pmu_name).

If we use "perf stat -M LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -a" on cascadelakex,
the event list is:

evsel->name evsel->pmu_name
---------------------------------------------------------------
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_4 (as leader)
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_2
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_0
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_5
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_3
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0 uncore_iio_1
unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part1 uncore_iio_4
......

For the event "unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part1" with
"uncore_iio_4", it should be the event from PMU "uncore_iio_4".
It's not a new leader for this PMU.

But if we use "(leader->pmu_name == evsel->pmu_name)", the check
would be failed and the event is stored to leaders[] as a new
PMU leader.

So this patch uses strcmp to compare the PMU name between events.

perf parse-events: Fix reading of invalid memory in event parsing

ADD_CONFIG_TERM accesses term->weak, however, in get_config_chgs this
value is accessed outside of the list_for_each_entry and references
invalid memory. Add an argument for ADD_CONFIG_TERM for weak and set it
to false in the get_config_chgs case.

This bug was cause by clang's address sanitizer and libfuzzer. It can be
reproduced with a command line of:

perf stat -a -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o

perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_term

perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command:

perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls
failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a
directory)/perf/

This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf
parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms").

The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event
relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event
specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow:

get_config_terms()
ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term->val.str);
__t->val.str = term->val.str;
`> __t->val.str is assigned to term->val.str;

parse_events_terms__purge()
parse_events_term__delete()
zfree(&term->val.str);
`> term->val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer;

cs_etm_set_sink_attr()
sink = __t->val.str;
`> sink string has been freed.

To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch
changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather
than directly assignment string pointer.

This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure
perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used
as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to
free the string.

perf parse: Refactor 'struct perf_evsel_config_term'

The struct perf_evsel_config_term::val is a union which contains fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch' as string pointers. This leads to
the complex code logic for handling every type's string separately, and
it's hard to release string as a general way.

This patch refactors the structure to add a common field 'str' in the
'val' union as string pointer and remove the other three fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch'. Without passing field name, the
patch simplifies the string handling with macro ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR()
for string pointer assignment.

This patch fixes multiple warnings of line over 80 characters detected
by checkpatch tool.

perf pmu: When using default config, record which bits of config were changed by the user

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.

However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.

For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.

perf list: Hide deprecated events by default

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.

Deprecated events are old names of renamed events. When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.

So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".

With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.

perf evlist: Adopt backwards ring buffer state enum

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.

Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.

Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.

Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

# 2620b7e3 15-Jul-2019 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf bpf: Do not attach a BPF prog to a tracepoint if its name starts with !

With BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY + bpf_tail_call() we want to have BPF
programs, i.e. functions in a object file that perf's BPF loader
shouldn't try to attach to anything, i.e. "!syscalls:sys_enter_open"
should just stay there, not be attached to a tracepoint with that name,
it'll be used by, for instance, 'perf trace' to associate with syscalls
that copy, in addition to the syscall raw args, a filename pointed by
the first arg, i.e. multiple syscalls that need copying the same pointer
arg in the same way, as a filename, for instance, will share the same
BPF program/function.

Right now when perf's BPF loader sees a function with a name
"sys:name" it'll look for a tracepoint and will associate that BPF
program with it, say:

SEC("raw_syscalls:sys_enter")
int sys_enter(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
{
//SNIP
}

Will crate a perf_evsel tracepoint event and then associate with it that
BPF program.

This convention at some point will switch to the one used by the BPF
loader in libbpf, but to experiment with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY in
'perf trace' lets do this, that will not require changing too much
stuff.

perf tools: Use list_del_init() more thorougly

To allow for destructors to check if they're operating on a object still
in a list, and to avoid going from use after free list entries into
still valid, or even also other already removed from list entries.

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

# 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 parser: Improve error message for PMU address filters

This is the second version of a patch that improves the error message of
the perf events parser when the PMU hardware does not support address
filters.

Previously, the perf returned the following error:

$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
--filter option should follow a -e tracepoint or HW tracer option

This implies there is some syntax error present in the command line,
which is not true. Rather, notify the user that the CPU does not have
support for this feature.

For example, Intel chips based on the Broadwell micro-archticture have
the Intel PT PMU, but do not support address filtering.

Now, perf prints the following error message:

$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
This CPU does not support address filtering

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 tools: Add missing newline when parsing empty BPF proggie

This is not specific to BPF but was found when parsing a .c BPF proggie
that while valid, had no events attached to tracepoints, kprobes, etc:

Very minimal file that perf's BPF code can compile:

# cat empty.c
char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
#

Before this patch:

perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:

tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);

The gcc docs says:

To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
has been truncated.

Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

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/

64 l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

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.

Before:

$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any

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.

# 66ec1191 06-Oct-2017 Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

perf pmu: Unbreak perf record for arm/arm64 with events with explicit PMU

Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is
specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.

$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true

In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports
mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no
samples are recorded.

This is an unintended side effect of commit:

e3ba76deef23064f ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)

... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an
uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.

This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous
CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a
"cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM
PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the
gory details as to why, see commit:

7e3fcffe95544010 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")

Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly
checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to
a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore
field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be
reused.

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%)
31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%)

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

perf events parse: Use just one parse events state struct

Andi reported problems when parse errors were detected with vendor
events (json), because in the yyparse/parse_events_parse function we
dereferenced the _data parameter to two different structs, with
different layouts, which ended up making parse_events_evlist->error to
point to random stack addresses.

Fix it by making _data to always be struct parse_events_state, changing
the only place where 'struct parse_events_term' was used in
parse_events.y.

# 37932c18 20-Mar-2017 Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

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 -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}'
1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks

perf pmu: Expand PMU events by prefix match

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a
prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal
aliases now.

This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For
example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../
and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.

This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and
also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

Before:

% perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox_0/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_1/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\

uncore_cbox_5/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

After:

% perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

perf tools: Fail on using multiple bits long terms without value

Currently we allow not to specify value for numeric terms and we set

allow user to type:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,any'

instead of:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,any=1'

However it works also for multi bits terms like:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/event/' ls
...
$ perf evlist -v
..., config: 0x1, ...

After discussion with Peter we decided making such term usage to fail,
like:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/event/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/event/'

perf pmu: Support event aliases for non cpu// pmus

The code for handling pmu aliases without specifying the PMU hardcoded
only supported the cpu PMU.

This patch extends it to work for all PMUs. We always duplicate the
event for all PMUs that have an matching alias. This allows to
automatically expand an alias for all instances of a PMU (so for example
you can monitor all cache boxes with a single event)

perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter

It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if
we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events
in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software
trace point errors out with -b.

There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample
types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch
implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it.

Now:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ...

works.

perf tools: Make alias matching case-insensitive

Make alias matching the events parser case-insensitive. This is useful
with the JSON events. perf uses lower case events, but the CPU manuals
generally use upper case event names. The JSON files use lower case by
default too. But if we search case insensitively then users can
cut-n-paste the upper case event names.

So the following works:

% perf stat -e BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

305 BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL

perf list: Support long jevents descriptions

Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some
events have in the event list completely. This patch makes them appear with
perf list.

Old perf list:

baclears:
baclears.all
[Counts the number of baclears]

vs new:

perf list -v:
...
baclears:
baclears.all
[The BACLEARS event counts the number of times the front end is
resteered, mainly when the Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide
a correct prediction and this is corrected by the Branch Address
Calculator at the front end. The BACLEARS.ANY event counts the
number of baclears for any type of branch]

perf list: Add a --no-desc flag

Add a --no-desc flag to 'perf list' to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to get a

It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful

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 bpf: Rename bpf__foreach_tev() to bpf__foreach_event()

Following commit will allow BPF script attach to tracepoints.
bpf__foreach_tev() will iterate over all events, not only kprobes.
Rename it to bpf__foreach_event().

Since only group and event are used by caller, there's no need to pass
full 'struct probe_trace_event' to bpf_prog_iter_callback_t. Pass only
these two strings. After this patch bpf_prog_iter_callback_t natually
support tracepoints.

perf tools: Apply tracepoint event definition options to BPF script

Users can pass options to tracepoints defined in the BPF script. For
example:

# perf record -e ./test.c/no-inherit/ bash

# exit
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data (139 samples) ]

(no-inherit works, only the sys_read issued by bash are captured, at
least 10000 sys_read issued by dd are skipped.)

test.c:

#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
SEC("func=sys_read")
int bpf_func__sys_read(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}
char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

no-inherit is applied to the kprobe event defined in test.c.

perf tools: Enable indices setting syntax for BPF map

This patch introduces a new syntax to perf event parser:

# perf record -e './test_bpf_map_3.c/map:channel.value[0,1,2,3...5]=101/' usleep 2

By utilizing the basic facilities in bpf-loader.c which allow setting
different slots in a BPF map separately, the newly introduced syntax
allows perf to control specific elements in a BPF map.

Test result:

# cat ./test_bpf_map_3.c

perf tools: Support setting different slots in a BPF map separately

This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different slots
in a BPF map one by one.

array.nr_ranges and array.ranges are introduced into 'struct
parse_events_term', where ranges is an array of indices range (start,
length) which will be configured by this config term. nr_ranges is the
size of the array. The array is passed to 'struct bpf_map_priv'. To
indicate the new type of configuration, BPF_MAP_KEY_RANGES is added as a
new key type. bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over
those indices instead of all possible keys.

Code in this commit will be enabled by following commit which enables
the indices syntax for array configuration.

...

3 test cases are introduced to test config terms for symbol, raw and
numeric events.

Committer note:

Further testing shows that we can retrieve the event name using 'perf
evlist -v' and looking at the 'config' perf_event_attr field, i.e.:

# perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.724 MB perf.data (2076 samples) ]
# perf evlist
cycles

perf tools: Rename and move pmu_event_name to get_config_name

Following commits will make more events obey /name=newname/ options.
This patch makes pmu_event_name() a generic helper.

Makes new get_config_name() accept NULL input to make life easier.

# 1669e509 19-Feb-2016 Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

perf stat: Bail out on unsupported event config modifiers

'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:

# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit

Performance counter stats for 'bash':

266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/

1.402183915 seconds time elapsed

The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.

This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.

Result:

# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...

We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.

This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:

# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
\___ unknown term

valid terms: config,config1,config2,name

# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/'
\___ unknown term

valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name

perf tools: Introduce parse_events_terms__purge()

Purges 'struct parse_event_term' entries from a list_head.

Some users need this because they don't allocate space for the list
head, it maybe on the stack or embedded into some other struct.

Next patch will convert users that need just purging and then the
perf_events__free_terms() routine will free the list head as well,
finally being renamed to perf_events_terms__delete().

Intel PT attempts to find the sched:sched_switch tracepoint but that seg
faults if tracefs is not readable, because the error reporting structure
is null, as errors are not reported when automatically adding
tracepoints. Fix by checking before using.

Committer note:

This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports
perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be
used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in
a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users.

Further info from a similar patch by Wang:

The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid.

However, there are many situation a parse_event() can be called without
parse_events_error. See result of

$ grep 'parse_events(.*NULL)' ./tools/perf/ -r'

When PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT was added to the kernel we should've
added it to tools/perf, where it is used just to list events.

This ended up causing a segfault in commands like "perf list stall".

Fix it by adding that new software counter.

A patch to robustify perf to not segfault when the next counter gets
added in the kernel will follow this one.

perf bpf: Improve BPF related error messages

A series of bpf loader related error codes were introduced to help error
reporting. Functions were improved to return these new error codes.

Functions which return pointers were adjusted to encode error codes into
return value using the ERR_PTR() interface.

bpf_loader_strerror() was improved to convert these error messages to
strings. It checks the error codes and calls libbpf_strerror() and
strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking the
range of the error code.

In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and the
object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her program.

v1 -> v2:
Use macro for error code.

Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

Print version strings.

Before:

# perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
\___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
SKIP

After:

# perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
\___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)

bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting

In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.

Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
CHECK_ERR() macro.

All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.

bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
be improved by the following patch.

load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
program or other problem.

v1 -> v2:

- Using macro for error code.

- Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

- Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.

In v1:

# perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
\___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object

perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event

This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

# perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
file or object.

2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

# perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

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'.

perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files

This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:

# perf record --event filter.o ls

Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.

The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().

Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

Committer notes:

Before:

# /tmp/oldperf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.198 MB perf.data ]
# perf evlist
/tmp/foo.o
# perf evlist -v
/tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

I.e. we create just the PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1),
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY(config 0x9) event, now, with this patch:

# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.210 MB perf.data ]
# perf evlist -v
perf_bpf_probe:fork: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x6bd, { sample_period,
sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest:
1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
#

We now have a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1), but the config states 0x6bd,
which is how, after setting up the event via the kprobes interface, the
'perf_bpf_probe:fork' event is accessible via the perf_event_open
syscall. This is all transient, as soon as the 'perf record' session
ends, these probes will go away.

To see how it looks like, lets try doing a neverending session, one that
expects a control+C to end:

# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a

So, with that in place, we can use 'perf probe' to see what is in place:

# perf probe -l
perf_bpf_probe:fork (on _do_fork@acme/git/linux/kernel/fork.c)

We also can use debugfs:

[root@felicio ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:perf_bpf_probe/fork _text+638512

Ok, now lets stop and see if we got some forks:

[root@felicio linux]# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (111 samples) ]

[root@felicio linux]# perf script
sshd 1271 [003] 81797.507678: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
sshd 18309 [000] 81797.524917: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)

sshd 18309 [001] 81799.408635: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
<SNIP>

Sure enough, we have 111 forks :-)

Callchains seems to work as well:

# perf report --stdio --no-child
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel

This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:

int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;

For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:

# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:

libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:

# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ]
# perf evlist -v
/tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,

perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs

This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.

By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.

To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.

strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.

Committer note:

First asking to put a probe in a function not present in the kernel
(misses the initial _):

---

Now, with "__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)):

$ grep _do_fork /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff81099ab0 T _do_fork
$ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
Failed to open kprobe_events: Permission denied

Cool, we need to provide some better hints, "kprobe_events" is too low
level, one doesn't strictly need to know the precise details of how
these things are put in place, so something that shows the command
needed to fix the permissions would be more helpful.

Lets try as root instead:

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.

After applying this patch, commands like:

# perf record --event foo.o sleep

become possible.

However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

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: Enable event_config terms to tracepoint events

This patch enables config terms for tracepoint perf events. Valid terms
for tracepoint events are 'call-graph' and 'stack-size', so we can use
different callgraph settings for each event and eliminate unnecessary

Here is an example for using different call-graph config for each
tracepoint.

$ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_write/call-graph=fp/
-e syscalls:sys_exit_write/call-graph=no/

perf tools: Show proper error message for wrong terms of hw/sw events

Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms
is specified for hw/sw type perf events.

This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string()
more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf
events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events.

Before this patch:

$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

After this patch:

$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
\___ unknown term

valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size

Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

Currently, function config_term() is used for checking config terms of
all types of events, while unknown terms is not reported as an error
because pmu events have valid terms in sysfs.

But this is wrong when unknown terms are specificed to hw/sw events.
This patch Adds the config_term callback so we can use separate check

Commit d49e46950772 ("perf evsel: Add a backpointer to the evlist a

This illustrates that it is better if perf_evlist__splice_list_tail()
calls perf_evlist__add() instead of duplicating the logic, so do that.
This will also simplify a subsequent fix for propagating maps.

perf evsel: Propagate error info from tp_format

Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get it all the way
down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding routines. Following
functions now return pointer with encoded error:

- tp_format
- trace_event__tp_format
- perf_evsel__newtp_idx
- perf_evsel__newtp

This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.

perf callchain: Per-event type selection support

This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the

Here is an example.

perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1

perf evlist -v
cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,

perf tools: Per-event time support

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

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.

# 4ba1faa1 10-Jul-2015 Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf

This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

# perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

# /tmp/perf report --stdio
...
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... .................. ....................
#
99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel
0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write
0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write
...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

# cat << EOF > ./tmp
> #!/bin/sh
> exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
> EOF
# chmod a+x ./tmp
# ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

# 15bfd2cc 10-Jul-2015 Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

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
...

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...

$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term

valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...

$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

# 619a303c 13-Feb-2015 Yunlong Song <yunlong.song@huawei.com>

perf list: Place the header text in its right position

The hearer text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is
placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g.
'perf list hw' shows no guiding text at all, and 'perf list hw
L1-dcache*' shows the guiding text incorrectly in the middle of the
output.

Example
Before this patch:

$ perf list hw L1-dcache*

bus-cycles [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]

perf tools: Do not check debugfs MAGIC for tracing files

It's rather strange to be checking the debugfs MAGIC number for the
tracing directory. A system admin may want to have a custom set of
events to trace and it should be allowed to let the admin make a temp
file (even for tracing virtual boxes, this is useful).

Also with the coming tracefs, the files may not even be under debugfs,
so checking the debugfs MAGIC number is pointless.

# dcb4e102 07-Oct-2014 Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>

perf tools: Parse the pmu event prefix and suffix

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.

The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.

The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.

Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

perf tools: Refactor unit and scale function parameters

Passing pointers to alias modifiers 'unit' and 'scale' isn't very

Instead wrap everything up in a struct perf_pmu_info, which can easily
be expanded when additional alias modifiers are necessary in the future.

# dc0a6202 31-Jul-2014 Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

perf tools: Let default config be defined for a PMU

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:

intel_pt//

which will be the same as:

intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/

meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
compression'.

An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that
a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

# ad962273 15-Aug-2014 Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

perf tools: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:

pmu//

which is effectively the same as:

pmu/config=0/

This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.

Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:

Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.

Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
not know how to decode them.

Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.

It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
turn it on by default.

It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
default.

The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

perf list: Fix checking for supported events on older kernels

"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices.
The change enabling event detection:

commit b41f1cec91c37eeea6fdb15effbfa24ea0a5536b
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>
Date: Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900

perf list: Skip unsupported events

uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c:

struct perf_event_attr attr = {
.type = type,
.config = config,
.disabled = 1,
.exclude_kernel = 1,
};

On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these
machines don't support .exclude_kernel. So starting with 3.12 "perf
list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen
on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc).

This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to
check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the
exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

# 410136f5 12-Nov-2013 Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

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 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.

# e9a7c414 06-Aug-2013 Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

perf tools: Add support for pinned modifier

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.

The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".

So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.

This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.

Comparison of results with and without pinning:

$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...

79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz
166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn

79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%]
165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]

As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.

The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

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: 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: Add support to specify hw event as PMU event term

Add a way to specify hw event as PMU event term like:

'cpu/event=cpu-cycles/u'
'cpu/event=instructions,.../u'
'cpu/cycles,.../u'

The 'event=cpu-cycles' term is replaced/translated by the hw events
term translation, which is exposed by sysfs 'events' group attribute.

Add parser bits, the rest is already handled by the PMU alias code.

# 1342798c 13-Sep-2012 David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>

perf tool: Precise mode requires exclude_guest

Summary of events per Peter:

"Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.

AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all,
setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail."

This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest
attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not
specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute).

Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact
to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will
return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use
of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest
will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset
exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU
supports IBS profiling.

# 1d037ca1 10-Sep-2012 Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@gmail.com>

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

way we get unique events names that also support pmu event syntax
(<pmu_name>/<config>/<modifier>). No need to reconstruct the name
anymore from its attributes. We use the event_desc of the header to
store the name in the perf.data header. Thus it is also available for
perf report.

Implemented by putting the parser in different states to parse events or
configs.

And since event names are now generated from the command line
specification. Update event names in test cases accordingly.

# 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.

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 tools: Add support to parse event group syntax

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.

The grammar for group is:
groups: groups ',' group | group
group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
group_name: name | empty
group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty
group_mods: event_mod

It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.

It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.

It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:

'{cycles,faults}'
- anonymous group

'group1{cycles,faults}
- group with name 'group1'

'{cycles,faults}:k
- anonymous group with event modifier 'k'

'{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
- two anonymous groups

The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

# 0983cc0d 18-Jul-2012 Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

perf tools: Fix trace events storms due to weight demux

Trace events have a period (weight) of 1 by default. This can be
overriden on events definition by using the __perf_count() macro.

For example, the sched_stat_runtime() is weighted with the runtime of
the task that fired the event.

By default, perf handles such weighted event by dividing it into
individual events carrying a weight of 1. For example if
sched_stat_runtime is fired and the task has run 5000000 nsecs, perf
divides it into 5000000 events in the buffer.

This behaviour makes weighted events unusable because they quickly
fullfill the buffers and we lose most events.

The commit 5d81e5cfb37a174e8ddc0413e2e70cdf05807ace ("events: Don't
divide events if it has field period") solves this problem by sending
only one event when PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD flag is set. The weight is
carried in the sample itself such that we don't need to demultiplex it
anymore.

This patch provides the last missing piece to use this feature by
setting PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD from perf tools when we deal with trace
events.

perf/tool: Add support to reuse event grammar to parse out terms

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms.
The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.

Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.

Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:

PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS

The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.

perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr

The modifiers:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Using this rule, event could be now specified like:

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

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

perf tools: Add config options support for event parsing

Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify

The new syntax for event symbolic definition is:

event_legacy_symbol: PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' |

event_config: event_config ',' event_term | event_term

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

sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' |

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

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

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

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

perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()

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

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

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

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

two new event modifiers: G and H.

With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

perf tools: Simplify debugfs mountpoint handling code

We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.

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

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

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

perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown events

There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.

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

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

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

perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] array

Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

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

# ./perf stat -e krava ls

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

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

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

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

perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified

Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".

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

This patch changes the code to be more informative:

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

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

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.

There are more operations that will need more fields in perf_evlist,
like the pollfd for polling all the fds in a list of evsel instances.

Use option->value to pass the evsel_list to parse_{events,filters}.

perf tools: Fix 64 bit integer format strings

Using %L[uxd] has issues in some architectures, like on ppc64. Fix it
by making our 64 bit integers typedefs of stdint.h types and using
PRI[ux]64 like, for instance, git does.

Reported by Denis Kirjanov that provided a patch for one case, I went
and changed all cases.

perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table

It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.

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

perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepoints

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

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

The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:

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

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

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

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

perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint events

There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events
being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas.

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

perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

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

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

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

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

perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1

Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.

It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we

Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES

for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done

FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

perf: Store trace event name/id pairs in perf.data

The trace event name<->id mapping is dynamic for each kernel
compile. In order for perf.data to be useable outside the actual
system, we thus need to store a table of this mapping for later
use.

This patch adds this table to perf.data, and provides helper
functions for lookup up fields from this table.

To avoid mistakes, lookup-from-table is kept completely seprate
from lookup-from-local-debugfs.

perf sched: Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand

Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand that adds a
default list of events, turns on raw sampling and system-wide
tracing and passes off the rest of the command to perf record.

This is more convenient than having to specify the events all
the time.

Before:

$ perf record -a -R -e sched:sched_switch:r -e sched:sched_stat_wait:r -e sched:sched_stat_sleep:r -e sched:sched_stat_iowait:r -e sched:sched_process_exit:r -e sched:sched_process_fork:r -e sched:sched_wakeup:r -e sched:sched_migrate_task:r -c 1 sleep 1

After:

$ perf sched record -f sleep 1

Also fix an assumption in the event string parser that assumed
that strings passed in can be modified. (In this case they wont
be as they come from a readonly constant section.)

perf: Enable more compiler warnings

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.

So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:

-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement

And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.

The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.

I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.

If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)

I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.

I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.

[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r

# 61c45981 30-Jun-2009 Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter tools: Rework event string parsing/syntax

This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:

events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
raw_event ::= "r" hex_number
numeric_event ::= number ":" number
number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array
generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+

with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.

We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).

This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.

This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.

# 06813f6c 25-Jun-2009 Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinder@kernel.org>

perf_counter tools: Check for valid cache operations

Made new table for cache operartion stat 'hw_cache_stat' as:

L1I : Read and prefetch only
ITLB and BPU : Read-only

introduce is_cache_op_valid() for cache operation validity

And checks for valid cache operations.

# 74d5b588 22-Jun-2009 Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinder@kernel.org>

perf_counter tools: Introduce alias member in event_symbol

By introducing alias member in event_symbol :

1. duplicate lines are removed, like:
cpu-cycles and cycles
branch-instructions and branches
context-switches and cs
cpu-migrations and migrations

2. We can also add alias for another events.

Now ./perf list looks like :

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
bus-cycles [Hardware event]

cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
page-faults [Software event]
faults [Software event]
minor-faults [Software event]
major-faults [Software event]
context-switches OR cs [Software event]
cpu-migrations OR migrations [Software event]

perf_counter tools: Define separate declarations for H/W and S/W events

Define separate declarations for H/W and S/W events to:

1. Shorten name to save some space so that we can add more members
2. Fix alignment
3. Avoid declaring HARDWARE/SOFTWARE again and again.

Removed unused CR(x, y)

# 9cffa8d5 19-Jun-2009 Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions

On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__". The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
to kill two remaining warnings.
