5693c92660 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.

dcb4e1022b 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.

For example,
group events with new style format: {mem-stores,mem-loads}
some hardware event + new style event: cycles,mem-loads
Cache event + new style event: LLC-loads,mem-loads
Raw event + new style event:
cpu/event=0xc8,umask=0x08/,mem-loads
old style event and new stytle mixture: mem-stores,cpu/mem-loads/

Passing pointers to alias modifiers 'unit' and 'scale' isn't very
future-proof since if we add more modifiers to the list we'll end up
passing more arguments.

Instead wrap everything up in a struct perf_pmu_info, which can easily

dc0a620242 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.

ad96227349 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.

88fee52e58 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 b41f1cec91
 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.

For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.

acme:

"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.

But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/

410136f5dd 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.

ef503831d8 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.

e9a7c41447 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.

3c1763115b 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

d2709c7ce4 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.

af3df2cf17 perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing
There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact
specification of raw hardware events.

Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and
install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible
due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).

1d33d6dce1 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.

1342798cc1 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.

1d037ca164 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.
