e90debddf8 perf script: Add --header/--header-only options
Currently the perf.data header is always displayed for stdio output,
which is no always useful.

Disabling header information by default and adding following options to
control header output:

  --header      - display header information
  --header-only - display header information only w/o further
                  processing

100b907350 perf kvm: Introduce option -v for perf kvm command.
As there is no -v option for perf kvm, the all debug message for perf
kvm will nerver be printed out to user.

Example:
	# perf kvm --guestmount /tmp/guestmount/ record -a
	Not enough memory for reading perf file header

It is confusing message for newbies such as me. With this patch applied,
we can use -v option to get the detail.

Example:
	# perf kvm --guestmount /tmp/guestmount/ record -a -v
	Can't access file /tmp/guestmount//15069/proc/kallsyms
	Not enough memory for reading perf file header

316bd98a9a perf kvm: Fix spurious '=' use in man page
As option --host and --guest request no input for it, there should not
be a '=' after them in the man page sources.

And --output expects a filename as the input, so there should be a '='
after it.

This patch removes the needless '=' after --guest and --host, and adds a
'=' after --output in perf-kvm.txt.

This affects the -p, -t and -u options that previously defaulted to

Consequently add an option to select per-thread mmaps to support the old
behaviour.

Note that per-thread can be used with a workload-only (i.e. none of -p,
-t, -u, -a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread mmap with no
inheritance.

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.

It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.

All current '-G' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.

NOTE: The documentation for top --call-graph option

The '-g' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind
method, which is currently the frame pointers method.

It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.

All current '-g' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.

5dbb6e81d8 perf top: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan
When the callgraph function is enabled (-G), it may take a long time to
scan all the stack data and merge them accordingly.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-top to limit the depth
of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-top to finish its processing. It reduces the amount of information
provided to the user in exchange for faster speed.

91e9561742 perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan
When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.

The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.

The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.

c522739d72 perf trace: Use vfs_getname hook if available
Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:

 perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'

or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.

In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.

This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.

As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.

fc1b691d76 perf buildid-cache: Add ability to add kcore to the cache
kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code.  However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code.  Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time.  Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id.  And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed.  The tool therefore creates a directory:

	~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>

which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.

Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections.  See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.

The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.

Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache.  That is
addressed in another patch.

65fb09922d tools: Harmonize the various build messages in perf, lib-traceevent, lib-lk
The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a

  CC FPIC            trace-seq.o

    CC builtin-script.o
  BUILD STATIC LIB   libtraceevent.a
    CC builtin-probe.o
    CC builtin-kmem.o
    CC builtin-lock.o

To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.

After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

Having this value immediately in the report can be quite useful when

Furthermore, allowing report to sort by averages is another handy
feature to have - and thus do not only print the value, but add it to

31f6be65e0 tools/perf: Fix double/triple-build of the feature detection logic during 'make install' et al
Linus reported the following perf build system bug:

  'Another annoyance during that make was that "make install" seems to
   want to re-make the thing I just built. That's absolutely horrible, [...]'

The thing that got re-built were 'only' the (numerous) feature checks,
not the whole project - but still it was mighty annoying as the feature
checks took 9+ seconds even on reasonably fast boxes.

Even with the autodep patches where feature detection is much faster
it wastes resources, wastes screen real estate and confuses users if
we execute feature detection twice.

There were two sources for these unnecessary re-builds of the feature
checks:

 - Unnecessary nested invocations of $(MAKE), apparently to be able
   to do conditional compilation dependent on documentation tools
   presence. Use straight dependencies instead, with no nesting.

 - A direct invocation of $(MAKE) to rebuild the PERF-VERSION-FILE.
   This is apparently done to be able to include it into the
   Makefile:

    -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE

   but that's entirely pointless for two reasons: 1) the version file
   gets regenerated by the initial build pass anyway, 2) including it
   is futile, given its contents:

    #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.rc3.g8510c7"

   'make' will interpret that as a comment line...

   So just remove this part of the doc-generation logic.

With these things fixed a 'make install' now rebuilds only what is needed.

A repeated 'make install' on an already built tree is super fast now,
it finishes in under 0.3 seconds:

  #
  #  After the patch:
  #

  $ time make install

  ...

  real    0m0.280s
  user    0m0.162s
  sys     0m0.054s

Prior all the autodep changes and prior this fix, a repeat 'make install'
took 24.1 seconds (!) on the same system:

  #
  #  Before the patches:
  #

  $ time make install

  ...

  real    0m24.109s
  user    0m21.171s
  sys     0m2.449s

Which almost entirely was caused by fixable build system fat.
We are now literally ~86 times faster.

A fresh rebuild and install now takes just 11.4 seconds:

  #
  #  After the patch:
  #

  $ make clean
  $ time make -j16 install

  ...

  real    0m11.457s
  user    1m43.411s
  sys     0m7.610s

Without the patches it took 27.8 seconds:

  #
  #  Before the patches:
  #

  $ make clean
  $ time make -j16 install

  ...

  real    0m27.801s
  user    1m59.242s
  sys     0m9.749s

So even in the complete rebuild case we are now ~2.5 times faster.

4cabc3d1cb tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transaction
Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.

This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.

Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.

Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.

This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.

This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel

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.

411916880f perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay option
When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload.  Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.

Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer
periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which
is relatively short.  If many groups are multiplexing the one group
seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all
groups, may see a significant error.

Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it
is so different from the rest.

One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first
sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support
intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not
necessarily the same as a useful startup delay.

This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for
the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms

Here's a simple example:

perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
             3,721 page-faults
...

If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less:

perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
             2,823 page-faults
...

So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.
