5d484f99ae perf top: Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicly
Now it is possible to press CTRL+z at anytime and that will disable the
events being monitored, essentially turning 'top' into 'report', with
pressing CTRL+z again making it enable the events again, returning to
the 'top' behaviour, i.e. dynamic + decaying of older samples.

One may want, for instance, play with:

    -d, --delay <n>       number of seconds to delay between refreshes

and:

    -z, --zero            zero history across updates

Plus CTRL+z to see only the events since last zeroing, etc.

7951722da2 perf trace: Fix race condition at the end of started workloads
I get following crash on multiple systems and across several releases
(at least since v3.18).

	Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just
exited.  Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go
into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those
events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()).

But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the
mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash.

If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base
is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map.

Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the
record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing
the map.

7737af010b perf probe: Speed up perf probe --list by caching debuginfo
Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo.
perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe
list. This takes very a long time.

E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes)

  [root@localhost perf]# time  ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

  real    0m25.376s
  user    0m24.381s
  sys     0m1.012s

To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the
last used debuginfo on memory.

With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves
its speed.

  [root@localhost perf]#  time  ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

  real    0m0.161s
  user    0m0.136s
  sys     0m0.025s

d350bd571f perf probe: Show usage even if the last event is skipped
When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples.  This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:

  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_open       (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
  #

With this fix:

  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)

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

	perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1

Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.

5d618324dd perf tools: Move libtraceevent dynamic list to separated LDFLAGS variable
Commit e3d09ec812 ("tools lib traceevent:
Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent
dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on
that list through LDFLAGS.

This is not good since some of targets like libgtk.so doesn't use plugin
at all, but require the existance of that list because of linker
options.

This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS,
makes only perf and perf.so use it.

b30b617292 perf tools: Fix a problem when opening old perf.data with different byte order
Following error occurs when trying to use 'perf report' on x86_64 to

 ======= Memory map: ========
 [SNIP]

The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct
perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or
not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according
to size read from perf.data.

Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without
aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping
attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata.

This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It
adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into
perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

b031220d52 perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is added
Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given
probe point being on the blacklist.

To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after
finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped.

If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe"  returns an error as it
fails to find the corresponding probe address.

E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given:

  # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
  Added new event:
  Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs
  succeed

No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails:

  # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
  do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it.
  Probe point 'do_trap' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

ba7ecb02e7 perf probe: List probes in stdout
Since commit 5e17b28f1e ("perf probe: Add --quiet option to
suppress output result message") have replaced printf with pr_info,
perf probe -l outputs its result in stderr. However, that is not
what the commit expected.

E.g.:

  # perf probe -l > /dev/null
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

With this fix:

  # perf probe -l > list
  # cat list
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

Of course, --quiet(-q) still works on --add/--del.

  # perf probe -q vfs_write
  # perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
    probe:vfs_write      (on vfs_write@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

missing of libtraceevent-dynamic-list:

 '.../python2' util/setup.py \
   --quiet build_ext; \
   mkdir -p python && \
   cp python_ext_build/lib/perf.so python/
   /path/to/ld: cannot open linker script file /path/to/kernel/tools/lib/traceevent/libtraceevent-dynamic-list: No such file or directory
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
   error: command 'x86_64-linux-gcc' failed with exit status 1
   cp: cannot stat 'python_ext_build/lib/perf.so': No such file or directory
   make[3]: *** [python/perf.so] Error 1
   make[2]: *** [python/perf.so] Error 2
     test: test -f ./python/perf.so
     make[1]: *** [make_python_perf_so] Error 1
     make: *** [build-test] Error 2
     make: Leaving directory `/path/to/kernel/tools/perf'

This is caused by commit e3d09ec812
("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent
plugins") that, it adds the list file to LDFLAGS but forgot to add it to
dependency list of python/perf.so.

This patch fixes this problem.

Use just reference counts, so that when no more hist_entry instances
references a map and the thread instance goes away by processing a

35a23ff928 perf probe: Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from function name
Cut off the postfixes which gcc added for optimized routines from the
event name automatically generated from symbol name, since *probe-events
doesn't accept it.  Those symbols will be used if we don't use debuginfo
to find target functions.

E.g. without this fix;
  -----
  # perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf.isra.23 _text+4869328
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
  -----
With this fix;
  -----
  perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf _text+4869328
    probe:alloc_buf      (on alloc_buf.isra.23)

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

  	perf record -e probe:alloc_buf -aR sleep 1

cb5ef60067 perf stat: Error out unsupported group leader immediately
perf stat ignores the unsupported event and continue to count supported
event. But if the unsupported event is group leader, perf tool will
crash. After applying this patch, the unsupported group leader will
error out immediately.

Without this patch:

  $ perf stat -x, -e '{node-prefetch-refs,cycles}' --  sleep 1
  perf: util/evsel.c:1009: get_group_fd: Assertion `!(fd == -1)' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

With this patch:

  $ perf stat -x, -e '{node-prefetch-refs,cycles}' --  sleep 1
  Error:
  The node-prefetch-refs event is not supported.

Commiter note: Here I got a different output, but no core dump:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat -x, -e '{node-prefetch-refs,cycles}' -- sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)
  for event (node-prefetch-refs).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

d7c72606d9 perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile()
Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races
in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by

- creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is
  used by mkstemp() to create unique file
- change file mode
- copy content
- if successful link temp file to target file
- unlink temp file

At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired
one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also
prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf
instances that could try to parse them.

On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when
creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set.

Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading
the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf
binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f that to exposes
previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

d3a7c489c7 perf tools: Reference count struct dso
This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.

So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

9f2de31542 perf machine: Fix up some more method names
Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.

So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

e3d09ec812 tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins
Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.

This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.

The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.

c4937a91ea perf tools: handle PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES
This patch modifies the perf tool to handle the new RECORD type,
PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.

The number of lost-sample events is stored in
.nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES]. The exact number of samples
which the kernel dropped is stored in total_lost_samples.

When the percentage of dropped samples is greater than 5%, a warning
is printed.

Here are some examples:

Eg 1, Recording different frequently-occurring events is safe with the
      patch. Only a very low drop rate is associated with such actions.

$ perf report -D | tail

           MMAP2 events:          5
    LOST_SAMPLES events:         24
  FINISHED_ROUND events:         15

           TOTAL events:      59348
          SAMPLE events:      59348

           TOTAL events:      60895

3569c0d7c5 perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)
PEBS always had the capability to log samples to its buffers without
an interrupt. Traditionally perf has not used this but always set the
PEBS threshold to one.

For frequently occurring events (like cycles or branches or load/store)
this in term requires using a relatively high sampling period to avoid
overloading the system, by only processing PMIs. This in term increases
sampling error.

For the common cases we still need to use the PMI because the PEBS
hardware has various limitations. The biggest one is that it can not
supply a callgraph. It also requires setting a fixed period, as the
hardware does not support adaptive period. Another issue is that it
cannot supply a time stamp and some other options. To supply a TID it
requires flushing on context switch. It can however supply the IP, the
load/store address, TSX information, registers, and some other things.

So we can make PEBS work for some specific cases, basically as long as
you can do without a callgraph and can set the period you can use this
new PEBS mode.

The main benefit is the ability to support much lower sampling period
(down to -c 1000) without extensive overhead.

One use cases is for example to increase the resolution of the c2c tool.
Another is double checking when you suspect the standard sampling has
too much sampling error.

Some numbers on the overhead, using cycle soak, comparing the elapsed
time from "kernbench -M -H" between plain (threshold set to one) and
multi (large threshold).

The test command for plain:
  "perf record --time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

The test command for multi:
  "perf record --no-time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

( The only difference of test command between multi and plain is time
  stamp options. Since time stamp is not supported by large PEBS
  threshold, it can be used as a flag to indicate if large threshold is
  enabled during the test. )

	period    plain(Sec)  multi(Sec)  Delta
	10003     32.7        16.5        16.2
	20003     30.2        16.2        14.0
	40003     18.6        14.1        4.5
	80003     16.8        14.6        2.2
	100003    16.9        14.1        2.8
	800003    15.4        15.7        -0.3
	1000003   15.3        15.2        0.2
	2000003   15.3        15.1        0.1

With periods below 100003, plain (threshold one) cause much more
overhead. With 10003 sampling period, the Elapsed Time for multi is
even 2X faster than plain.

21509084f9 perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer
When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the
machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are
mixed up and we need to demultiplex them.

Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The
hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible
scenarios to demux.

The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy
of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a
problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle:

A) the CTRn value reaches 0:
  - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set
  - we start arming the hardware assist
  < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple
    events of interest >

B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it

C) a matching event happens:
  - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record
    this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment
  - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn
  - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS

Now consider the following chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, C0

The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1
set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing
can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the
right moment.

The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two
or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The
'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist,
if the event is something that doesn't need retirement.

For instance, consider this chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, B1, C01

Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will
generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the
status field.

This time the record pertains to both events.

Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the
data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits
(we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible.

Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might
cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so
what this patch does is discard such events.

The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare.

Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate.

  - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful
    configuration.
  - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS
    event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine
    the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before
