d457c96392 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
perf.data.

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,
 config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
 inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
 cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, {
 sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
 IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID,
 disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
 exclude_guest: 1

4605bb55b9 perf evlist: Be more specific on -F/--freq
Currently perf evlist -F shows the number as if it's always sampling
frequency.  But we now support per-event freq/period settings.  So it'd
better to show more detailed info whether it's freq or period.

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/config=1/,cpu/config=2,period=300000/' sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data ]

  $ perf evlist -F
  cpu/config=1/: sample_freq=4000
  cpu/config=2,period=300000/: sample_period=300000

09af2a5535 perf record: Support per-event freq term
Now perf can set per-event value of time and (sampling) period.  But I
guess most users like me just want to set frequency rather than period.
So add the 'freq' term in the event parser.

ab35a7d0ee perf tools: Unset perf_event_attr::freq when period term is set
We need to unset 'perf_event_attr::freq' bit (default 1) when
'period' term is specified within event definition like:

  -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,call-graph=fp,time,period=100000'

otherwise it will handle the period value as frequency
(and fail if it crossed the maximum allowed frequency value).

3206771239 perf tools: Per-event time support
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.

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.

ee4c75887d 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.

15bfd2cc10 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
 ...

f47805a2af perf evsel: Rename set_filter to apply_filter
We need to be able to go on constructing a complex filter in multiple
stages, since we can only set one filter per event.

For instance, we need to be able, in 'perf trace' to filter by the
'common_pid' field all the time, if only for the tracer itself, to
avoid a feedback loop, and, in addition, we may want to filter the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} events by its 'id' filter, when using
'perf trace -e open,close' or 'perf trace -e !open,close', i.e. when
we are interested in just a subset of syscalls or when we are not
interested in it.

So we will have:

   perf_evsel__set_filter(evsel, char *filter)

       Replaces whatever is in evsel->filter.

   perf_evsel__append_filter(evsel, const char *op, char *filter)

       Appends, using op ("&&" or "||") with what is in evsel->filter.

   perf_evsel__apply_filter(evsel, filter):

        That actually applies a filter, be it the one being
        constructed in evsel->filter, or any other, for tools
        with more specific ways to build the filter, issuing
        the appropriate ioctl for all the evsel fds.

The same changes will be made to the evlist__{set,apply} variants to
keep everything consistent.

2c5e8c52c6 perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions
Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
implementations of printing perf_event_attr.

This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.

Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

aad2b21c15 perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.

Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.

LBR call stack has some limitations:

 - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
   can not be enabled at the same time.

 - It is only available for user-space callchains.

However, it also offers some advantages:

 - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
   or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
   else works.

62e503b7ed perf evsel: Set attr.task bit for a tracking event
The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but
it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config().  While it was not a problem
in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same
result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway.

The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but
other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events.  So
setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task
events anyway.  So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are
off but I'd like to set it for completeness.

of every event that was added to it via functions:

  pevent_parse_format

We can't release struct event_format (call pevent_free_format)
separately, because that breaks that pointers array mentioned above and
another add_event call could end up with segfault.

a635fc511e perf tools: Remove hists from evsel
Now tools that deals want to have an hists per evsel need to call
hists__init() before creating any evsels, which can be as early as when
parsing the command line, so do it before calling parse_options().

The current tools using hists/hist_entries are report, top and annotate,
change them to request per evsel hists.

This is in preparation for making evsels usable by 3rd party tools, that
not necessarily live in perf's source code repository.

17314e2385 perf record: Fix to honor user freq/interval properly
When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user
specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no
default value.  This worked because most of events don't have default
value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not
desirable to change it for those events).

However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it
cannot change the value for those events.  Fix it by allowing override
the default value if user gives one of the options.

  $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

Above options ONLY setup the unwind method. To enable perf record/top to
actually use it the command line option -g/-G must be specified.

The --call-graph option overloads .perfconfig setup.

Assuming above configuration:

  $ perf record -g ls
  - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 8192 bytes

  $ perf top -G
  - enables frame pointer unwind

  $ perf record --call-graph=fp ls
  - enables frame pointer unwind

  $ perf top --call-graph=dwarf,4096 ls

bc5290869d perf tools: Put proper period for for samples without PERIOD sample_type
We use PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD sample type only for frequency
setup -F (default) option. The -c does not need store period,
because it's always the same.

In -c case the report code uses '1' as  period. Fixing
it to perf_event_attr::sample_period.

6619a53ef7 perf record: Add --initial-delay option
perf stat has a --delay option to delay measuring the workload.

This is useful to skip measuring the startup phase of the program, which
is often very different from the main workload.

The same is useful for perf record when sampling.

--no-delay was already taken, so add a --initial-delay
to perf record too.
-D was already taken for record, so there is only a long option.

v2: Don't disable group members (Namhyung Kim)
v3: port to latest perf/core
    rename to --initial-delay to avoid conflict with --no-delay

553873e1df tools/: Convert to new topic libraries
Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.

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/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

using shortcut to get the parsed format.

Moving current 'event_format__new' function into trace-event object as
'trace_event__tp_format'.

This function uses properly initialized global trace-event object,

Note that per-thread can be used with a workload-only (i.e. none of -p,

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.

539e6bb71e perf record: Add an option to force per-cpu mmaps
By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.

Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.

Further comments by peterz:

So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?

As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

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.

3090ffb5a2 perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support
For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).

We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.  We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.

In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

a65cb4b9f8 perf evlist: Fix perf_evlist__mmap_read event overflow
The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for
event crossing the mmap boundary.

This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up
to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max.

I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces
sample with the size around 8192 bytes.  We could configure any valid
sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'.

Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also
adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack.

TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some
lazy allocation for event_copy size.

5c5e854bc7 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support
This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.

It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.

This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.

The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

bec1967204 perf tools: Try to increase the file descriptor limits on EMFILE
perf stat -a needs 10 open file descriptors per logical CPU
perf stat -a -dddd needs 20 open fds for each.

This implies that stat -a doesn't work on any system with the default
ulimit -n 1024 which has more than ~100 CPUs and stat -a -dddd doesn't
work on anything with more than 46 CPUs.

Longer term there needs to be probably some way to lower the file
descriptor requirements. This would need some changes in the kernel/user
interface.

But short term this patch just tries to increase the file descriptor
limit in perf itself, when it runs into a EMFILE.

It first sets it to the hard limit, and then tries to increase the hard
limit.

On Fedora systems the default seems to be soft limit 1024 and hard limit
4*1024. So even non root can support 409 or 186 CPUs respectively. root
can go far higher.

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
