Adrian Hunter 09ff607176 perf tools: Add perf_pmu__format_bits()
Add perf_pmu__format_bits() to get the format bits for a PMU config
term.  Intel PT will use this to validate terms and to record format
bits to enable later interpreting the config from the attribute stored
in the perf.data file.

Kan Liang 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.

Passing pointers to alias modifiers 'unit' and 'scale' isn't very

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

Adrian Hunter 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.

Stephane Eranian 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.

Andi Kleen 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

David Howells 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.

Robert Richter 50a9667c93 perf tools: Add pmu mappings to header information
With dynamic pmu allocation there are also dynamically assigned pmu ids.
These ids are used in event->attr.type to describe the pmu to be used
for that event. The information is available in sysfs, e.g:

 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/breakpoint/type: 5
 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/type: 4
 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/type: 6
 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/type: 7
 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/software/type: 1
 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/tracepoint/type: 2

These mappings are needed to know which samples belong to which pmu.  If
a pmu is added dynamically like for ibs_fetch or ibs_op the type value
may vary.

Now, when decoding samples from perf.data this information in sysfs
might be no longer available or may have changed. We need to store it in
perf.data. Using the header for this. Now the header information created
with perf report contains an additional section looking like this:

 # pmu mappings: ibs_op = 7, ibs_fetch = 6, cpu = 4, breakpoint = 5, tracepoint = 2, software = 1

Jiri Olsa cd82a32e99 perf tools: Add perf pmu object to access pmu format definition
Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs
event format definition located at:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format

Following interface is exported:
  struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name);
  - this function returns pmu object, which is then
    passed as a handle to other interface functions

  int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr,
                       struct list_head *head_terms);
  - this function configures perf_event_attr struct based
    on pmu's format definitions and config terms data,
    containined in head_terms list.

Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition.
The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule
'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex
sources.

Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could
be run like:
	perf test pmu
