cf25f904ef x86/events/amd/iommu: Add IOMMU-specific hw_perf_event struct
Current AMD IOMMU perf PMU inappropriately uses the hardware struct
inside the union in struct hw_perf_event, extra_reg in particular.

Instead, introduce an AMD IOMMU-specific struct with required parameters
to be programmed into the IOMMU performance counter control register.

Update the pasid field from 16 to 20 bits while at it.

f4c0b0aa58 perf/core: Keep AUX flags in the output handle
In preparation for adding more flags to perf AUX records, introduce a
separate API for setting the flags for a session, rather than appending
more bool arguments to perf_aux_output_end. This allows to set each
flag at the time a corresponding condition is detected, instead of
tracking it in each driver's private state.

e422267322 perf: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend on
namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for
namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event for
recording namespaces related info. By recording info for every
namespace, it is left to userspace to take a call on the definition of a
container and trace containers by updating perf tool accordingly.

Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though
every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in
future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such
possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each
namespace.

6ce77bfd6c perf/core: Allow kernel filters on CPU events
While supporting file-based address filters for CPU events requires some
extra context switch handling, kernel address filters are easy, since the
kernel mapping is preserved across address spaces. It is also useful as
it permits tracing scheduling paths of the kernel.

This patch allows setting up kernel filters for CPU events.

1fd7e41699 perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu
cpuctx->unique_pmu was originally introduced as a way to identify cpuctxs
with shared pmus in order to avoid visiting the same cpuctx more than once
in a for_each_pmu loop.

cpuctx->unique_pmu == cpuctx->pmu in non-software task contexts since they
have only one pmu per cpuctx. Since perf_pmu_sched_task() is only called in
hw contexts, this patch replaces cpuctx->unique_pmu by cpuctx->pmu in it.

The change above, together with the previous patch in this series, removed
the remaining uses of cpuctx->unique_pmu, so we remove it altogether.

058fe1c044 perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events
This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about
speeding up the context switch for cgroup events:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/

This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over
the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that
contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event.

This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years
e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs.

The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in
heavy cache contention scenarios.

Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles
of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for
a simple array read/write microbenchark.

  Contention
    Level    Nr events      Before (us)            After (us)       Median
  L2    L3     types      (10%, 50%, 90%)       (10%, 50%, 90%     Speedup
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  High  Low       1       (2.08, 4.56, 19.8)    (1720, 2.20, 13.7)     51%
  High  High      1       (2.86, 10.4, 12.7)    (2.54, 4.32, 12.1)     58%

  Low   Low       2       (1.98, 3.20, 6.89)    (1.68, 2.41, 8.89)     24%
  High  Low       2       (2.48, 5.28, 22.4)    (2150, 3.69, 14.6)     30%
  High  High      2       (3.32, 8.09, 13.9)    (2.80, 5.15, 13.7)     36%

where:

  1 event type  = cycles
  2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/

   Contention L2 Low: workset  <  L2 cache size.
                 High:  "     >>  L2   "     " .
   Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets  <  L3 cache size.
                 High:   "     "   "   "   "    "    >>  L3   "     " .

   Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) /  50%ile Before

Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number
of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.

475113d937 perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors
It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt

error path.

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

While it looks like the first WARN() is probably valid, the other one is
triggered by disabling event via perf_event_disable() from atomic context.

The event is disabled here in case we were not able to emulate
the instruction that hit the breakpoint. By disabling the event
we unschedule the event and make sure it's not scheduled back.

But we can't call perf_event_disable() from atomic context, instead
we need to use the event's pending_disable irq_work method to disable it.

aa6a5f3cb2 perf, bpf: add perf events core support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs
Allow attaching BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs to sw and hw perf events
via overflow_handler mechanism.
When program is attached the overflow_handlers become stacked.
The program acts as a filter.
Returning zero from the program means that the normal perf_event_output handler
will not be called and sampling event won't be stored in the ring buffer.

The overflow_handler_context==NULL is an additional safety check
to make sure programs are not attached to hw breakpoints and watchdog
in case other checks (that prevent that now anyway) get accidentally
relaxed in the future.

The program refcnt is incremented in case perf_events are inhereted
when target task is forked.
Similar to kprobe and tracepoint programs there is no ioctl to
detach the program or swap already attached program. The user space
expected to close(perf_event_fd) like it does right now for kprobe+bpf.
That restriction simplifies the code quite a bit.

The invocation of overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow() is now
done via READ_ONCE, since that pointer can be replaced when the program
is attached while perf_event itself could have been active already.
There is no need to do similar treatment for event->prog, since it's
assigned only once before it's accessed.

0515e5999a bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type
Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to
HW and SW perf events (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE
correspondingly in uapi/linux/perf_event.h)

The program visible context meta structure is
struct bpf_perf_event_data {
    struct pt_regs regs;
     __u64 sample_period;
};
which is accessible directly from the program:
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
{
  ... ctx->sample_period ...
  ... ctx->regs.ip ...
}

The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing
struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs.
New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data
in the future.

d6a2f9035b perf/core: Introduce PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG
Introduce the flag PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG, useful for uncore events,
that allows a PMU to signal the generic perf code that an event is readable
in the current CPU if the event is active in a CPU in the same package as
the current CPU.

This is an optimization that avoids a unnecessary IPI for the common case
where uncore events are run and read in the same package but in
different CPUs.

As an example, the IPI removal speeds up perf_read() in my Haswell system
as follows:

  - For event UNC_C_LLC_LOOKUP: From 260 us to 31 us.
  - For event RAPL's power/energy-cores/: From to 255 us to 27 us.

For the optimization to work, all events in the group must have it
(similarly to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE).

4ff6a8debf perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags
Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a
group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all
events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags.

This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group
share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and
for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work
as an aggregate of event level flags.

PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags
that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization.
To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to
group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE.

Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the
cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to
serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a
context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event()
worked.

Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap
instead of the context index.

e48c178814 perf/core: Optimize perf_pmu_sched_task()
For perf record -b, which requires the pmu::sched_task callback the
current code is rather expensive:

     7.68%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] perf_pmu_sched_task
     5.95%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __switch_to
     5.20%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __intel_pmu_disable_all
     3.95%  sched-pipe  perf                [.] worker_thread

The problem is that it will iterate all registered PMUs, most of which
will not have anything to do. Avoid this by keeping an explicit list
of PMUs that have requested the callback.

The perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() functions already takes the required pmu
argument, and now that these functions are no longer called from NMI
context we can use them to manage a list.

With this patch applied the function doesn't show up in the top 4
anymore (it dropped to 18th place).

     6.67%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __switch_to
     6.18%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __intel_pmu_disable_all

db4a835601 perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events
There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup:

  $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G /
  #          time             counts unit events
      1.000161699      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      2.000355591      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      3.000565154      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      4.000951350      <not counted>      cycles                    /

We'd expect some output there.

The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in
perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events
if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same.

This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways
that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a
cgroup event matches the current task. These are:

  1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code,
  cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the
  aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next
  cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen,
  depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc.

  2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event,
  cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in
  because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and
  perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp).

This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event,
mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU
context, as introduced in:

  commit 68cacd2916 ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()")

With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing
the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp
correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are
sched in/out.

After the fix, the output is as expected:

  $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G /
  #         time             counts unit events
     1.004699159          627342882      cycles                    /
     2.007397156          615272690      cycles                    /
     3.010019057          616726074      cycles                    /

aa7145c16d bpf, events: fix offset in skb copy handler
This patch fixes the __output_custom() routine we currently use with
bpf_skb_copy(). I missed that when len is larger than the size of the
current handle, we can issue multiple invocations of copy_func, and
__output_custom() advances destination but also source buffer by the
written amount of bytes. When we have __output_custom(), this is actually
wrong since in that case the source buffer points to a non-linear object,
in our case an skb, which the copy_func helper is supposed to walk.
Therefore, since this is non-linear we thus need to pass the offset into
the helper, so that copy_func can use it for extracting the data from
the source object.

Therefore, adjust the callback signatures properly and pass offset
into the skb_header_pointer() invoked from bpf_skb_copy() callback. The
__DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY_BODY() is adjusted to accommodate for two things:
i) to pass in whether we should advance source buffer or not; this is
a compile-time constant condition, ii) to pass in the offset for
__output_custom(), which we do with help of __VA_ARGS__, so everything
can stay inlined as is currently. Both changes allow for adapting the
__output_* fast-path helpers w/o extra overhead.

7e3f977edd perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records
This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It
extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will
be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can
optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract
complex, possibly non-linear data.

If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new
__output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for
the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all
the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't
need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding
will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes
in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid
doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse
next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from
ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample()
path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal.

This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first
user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag
to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently
dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it.
skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to
dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice;
with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be
done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs
that work on different context though and would thus also have
a different callback function.

The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag
data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them.
The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

00e16c3d68 perf/core: Convert to hotplug state machine
Actually a nice symmetric startup/teardown pair which fits properly into
the state machine concept. In the long run we should be able to invoke
the startup callback for the boot CPU via the state machine and get
rid of the init function which invokes it on the boot CPU.

Note: This comes actually before the perf hardware callbacks. In the notifier
model the hardware callbacks have a higher priority than the core
callback. But that's solely for CPU offline so that hardware migration of
events happens before the core is notified about the outgoing CPU.

With the symetric state array model we have the following ordering:

 UP:     core -> hardware
 DOWN:   hardware -> core

f2fb6bef92 perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery
The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in
their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver
side-band records to.

For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations,
which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux()
invocations.

If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used),
dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly
decrease brk_test's throughput.

For example, the brk throughput:

  without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec
  with    uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec

... a 33% reduction.

To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch
puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs
and any events that do not need side-band records.

Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context
switch paths.

97c79a38cd perf core: Per event callchain limit
Additionally to being able to control the system wide maximum depth via
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack, now we are able to ask for
different depths per event, using perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack for
that.

This uses an u16 hole at the end of perf_event_attr, that, when
perf_event_attr.sample_type has the PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, if
sample_max_stack is zero, means use perf_event_max_stack, otherwise
it'll be bounds checked under callchain_mutex.

c85b033496 perf core: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace
The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting
via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.

A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also
introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain
implementation by some arch.

5101ef20f0 perf/arm: Special-case hetereogeneous CPUs
Commit:

  2665784850 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU")

forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this
generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to
use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects.

However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous
HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible
in some limited cases.

To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these
commits:

  66eb579e66 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")
  c904e32a69 ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events")

To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous
CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing
otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context.

This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates
the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu
code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are
added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.

375637bc52 perf/core: Introduce address range filtering
Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based
filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a
given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing
individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also
utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out
code at certain address ranges.

This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these
filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware
configuration.

The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl()
and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within
certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment
for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit.

The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the
PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration
proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of
doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter
configuration into something that can be programmed into the
hardware.

c5dfd78eb7 perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl
The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.

And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.

The new file is:

  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  127

Chaging it:

  # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  256

But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:

  # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
  #

Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

9ecda41acb perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.

Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.

By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.

The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.

   (X)                              head
    .                                |
    .                                V
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+
    |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|   |
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+

Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':

      head
       |
       V
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
    |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+

Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.

The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.

Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.

'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.

Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:

       head
        |
        V
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+
    |   |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+

and after overwriting:
                                     head
                                      |
                                      V
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
    |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+

In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.

The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.

To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).

By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:

    /* A union of all possible events */
    union perf_event event;

    p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
    while (true) {
        /* copy header of next event */
        fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));

        /* read 'head' pointer */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* check overwritten: is the header good? */
        if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
            break;

        /* copy the whole event */
        fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);

        /* read 'head' pointer again */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* is the whole event good? */
        if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
            break;
        p += event.header.size;
    }

However, the overhead is high because:

 a) In-place decoding is not safe.
    Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
 b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.

(From Alexei Starovoitov:

Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)

This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.

Performance testing:

Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.

Testing environment:

  CPU    : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
  Kernel : v4.5.0
                    MEAN         STDVAR
 BASE            800214.950    2853.083
 PRE1           2253846.700    9997.014
 PRE2           2257495.540    8516.293
 POST           2250896.100    8933.921

Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
experimental setup.

Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
overhead to the fast path.

ec5e099d6e perf: optimize perf_fetch_caller_regs
avoid memset in perf_fetch_caller_regs, since it's the critical path of all tracepoints.
It's called from perf_sw_event_sched, perf_event_task_sched_in and all of perf_trace_##call
with this_cpu_ptr(&__perf_regs[..]) which are zero initialized by perpcu init logic and
subsequent call to perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs initializes the same fields on all archs,
so we can safely drop memset from all of the above cases and move it into
perf_ftrace_function_call that calls it with stack allocated pt_regs.

1879445dfa perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler()
Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't
need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow().
Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler.

Initial idea comes from Peter:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net

Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing
'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed.

is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.

No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the
original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional
branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.

c7ab62bfbe perf/x86/amd/power: Add AMD accumulated power reporting mechanism
Introduce an AMD accumlated power reporting mechanism for the Family
15h, Model 60h processor that can be used to calculate the average
power consumed by a processor during a measurement interval. The
feature support is indicated by CPUID Fn8000_0007_EDX[12].

This feature will be implemented both in hwmon and perf. The current
design provides one event to report per package/processor power
consumption by counting each compute unit power value.

Here the gory details of how the computation is done:

* Tsample: compute unit power accumulator sample period
* Tref: the PTSC counter period (PTSC: performance timestamp counter)
* N: the ratio of compute unit power accumulator sample period to the
  PTSC period

* Jmax: max compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
  MSR_C001007b[MaxCpuSwPwrAcc]

* Jx/Jy: compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
  MSR_C001007a[CpuSwPwrAcc]

* Tx/Ty: the value of performance timestamp counter which is indicated
  by CU_PTSC MSR_C0010280[PTSC]
* PwrCPUave: CPU average power

i. Determine the ratio of Tsample to Tref by executing CPUID Fn8000_0007.
	N = value of CPUID Fn8000_0007_ECX[CpuPwrSampleTimeRatio[15:0]].

ii. Read the full range of the cumulative energy value from the new
    MSR MaxCpuSwPwrAcc.
	Jmax = value returned.

iii. At time x, software reads CpuSwPwrAcc and samples the PTSC.
	Jx = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Tx = value read from PTSC.

iv. At time y, software reads CpuSwPwrAcc and samples the PTSC.
	Jy = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Ty = value read from PTSC.

v. Calculate the average power consumption for a compute unit over
time period (y-x). Unit of result is uWatt:

	if (Jy < Jx) // Rollover has occurred
		Jdelta = (Jy + Jmax) - Jx
	else
		Jdelta = Jy - Jx
	PwrCPUave = N * Jdelta * 1000 / (Ty - Tx)

a223c1c7ab perf/x86/cqm: Fix CQM handling of grouping events into a cache_group
Currently CQM (cache quality of service monitoring) is grouping all
events belonging to same PID to use one RMID. However its not counting
all of these different events. Hence we end up with a count of zero
for all events other than the group leader.

The patch tries to address the issue by keeping a flag in the
perf_event.hw which has other CQM related fields. The field is updated
at event creation and during grouping.

Pull nohz enhancements from Frederic Weisbecker:

"Currently in nohz full configs, the tick dependency is checked
 asynchronously by nohz code from interrupt and context switch for each
 concerned subsystem with a set of function provided by these. Such
 functions are made of many conditions and details that can be heavyweight
 as they are called on fastpath: sched_can_stop_tick(),
 posix_cpu_timer_can_stop_tick(), perf_event_can_stop_tick()...

 Thomas suggested a few months ago to make that tick dependency check
 synchronous. Instead of checking subsystems details from each interrupt
 to guess if the tick can be stopped, every subsystem that may have a tick
 dependency should set itself a flag specifying the state of that
 dependency. This way we can verify if we can stop the tick with a single
 lightweight mask check on fast path.

 This conversion from a pull to a push model to implement tick dependency
 is the core feature of this patchset that is split into:

  * Nohz wide kick simplification
  * Improve nohz tracing
  * Introduce tick dependency mask
  * Migrate scheduler, posix timers, perf events and sched clock tick
    dependencies to the tick dependency mask."

555e0c1ef7 perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
perf event tick dependency, migrate perf to the new mask.

Perf needs the tick for two situations:

1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are
installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of
the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that
to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency
level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway.

2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.

54d751d4ad perf: Allow storage of PMU private data in event
For PMUs which are not per CPU, but e.g. per package/socket, we want to be
able to store a reference to the underlying per package/socket facility in the
event at init time so we can avoid magic storage constructs in the PMU driver.

This allows us to get rid of the per CPU dance in the intel uncore and RAPL
drivers and avoids a lookup of the per package data in the perf hotpath.

9107c89e26 perf: Fix race between event install and jump_labels
perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have
scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if
the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will
have to context switch to run elsewhere.

This however doesn't appear to be happening.

It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to
later observe the task running with an inactive context.

The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not
called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label
to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an
event.

A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any
further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched().
Therefore we must jump through some hoops.

a69b0ca4ac perf: Fix cloning
Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no
new clones happen.

This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task
can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task
hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the
hierarchy.

perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context
during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current
cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore
perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE.

However, since inherit_event() does:

	if (parent_event->parent)
		parent_event = parent_event->parent;

it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event().
This can return true if the context that contains the this event has
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to
clone the perf context.

Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by
perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is
dead and there are no observers for our data left.

Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit
cloning.

STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains
functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes
empty.
