Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cb9dd49e11 perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers
We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.

Example:

  # uname -a
  Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
  # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  279
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:

  $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  56
  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
  $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
  279

With this fix:

  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  sched:sched_switch

Stephane Eranian fc3e4d077d perf stat: Fix default output file
The following commit:

commit 56f3bae706
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600

    perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere

introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:

    perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....

They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
    perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...

This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.

This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.

I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

David Ahern 80c0120a3c perf tools: Fix endianity swapping for adds_features bitmask
Based on Jiri's latest attempt:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61

Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned
longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

    Fixes 32-bit ppc dumping 64-bit x86 feature data:
     ========
     captured on: Sun May 20 19:23:23 2012
     hostname : nxos-vdc-dev3
     os release : 3.4.0-rc7+
     perf version : 3.4.rc4.137.g978da3
     arch : x86_64
     nrcpus online : 16
     nrcpus avail : 16
     cpudesc : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 @ 2.53GHz
     cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,26,5
     total memory : 24680324 kB
    ...

Verified 64-bit x86 can still dump feature data for 32-bit ppc.

Jiri Olsa 37073f9e44 perf evsel: Fix 32 bit values endianity swap for sample_id_all header
We swap the sample_id_all header by u64 pointers. Some members of the
header happen to be 32 bit values. We need to handle them separatelly.

Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below,
e.g. following perf report diff:

...
      0.12%               ps  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] clear_page
-     0.12%              awk  bash                 [.] alloc_word_desc
+     0.12%              awk  bash                 [.] yyparse
      0.11%   beah-rhts-task  libpython2.6.so.1.0  [.] 0x5560e
      0.10%             perf  libc-2.12.so         [.] __ctype_toupper_loc

      0.09%               ps  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] page_fault
...

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms

Jiri Olsa 268fb20f83 perf session: Handle endianity swap on sample_id_all header data
Adding endianity swapping for event header attached via sample_id_all.

Currently we dont do that and it's causing wrong data to be read when
running report on architecture with different endianity than the record.

Jiri Olsa 8db4841fc7 perf symbols: Handle different endians properly during symbol load
Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness. It's possible
we read buildid file object from different architecture than we are
currentlly running on. So we need to care about properly reading such
object's data - handle different endianness properly.

Adding:
	needs_swap DSO field
	dso__swap_init function to initialize DSO's needs_swap
	DSO__SWAP to read the data with proper swaps

    perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"

    The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown".

    It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies
    the expressions to "[unknown]".

Looks like a copy-paste in that the other references use al.map but this one
should be node->map.

With this patch you get:

$ perf script -i /tmp/perf.data
...

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 79695e1bb6 perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host}
When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.

When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.

Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).

That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.

I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:

  $ perf stat usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 91557e847d perf report: Use the right symbol for annotation
In non symbolic views, i.e. --sort without "symbol", as in:

 perf report --sort comm

We're segfaulting in the --tui because we're testing the symbol resolved
and then trying to use the symbol on the histogram entry where we're
coalescing all hits for a COMM, and the first hist_entry for a comm may
have a NULL symbol, i.e. the RIP didn't resolve to any symbol.

In this case we're segfaulting, fix it by testing against the symbol in
the histogram entry.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c410431cef perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:

  k		kernel space
  u		user space
  h		hypervisor
  G		guest
  H		host
  p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)

that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:

 $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 instructions:u
 $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:k
 $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kh
 $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cache-misses:G
 $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kpp
 $

Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 895d97663c perf top: Fix counter name fixup when fallbacking to cpu-clock
In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock"
we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it
to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value,
which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght
string.

Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way
event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name
and cache it again.

Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be
honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that
level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p',
levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails,
_then_ get to 'cpu-clock'.

But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the
caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for
the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that
will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being
used, some sort of fallback happened.

Linus Torvalds 654443e20d Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

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

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make
	[ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a1d44b9acd perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_name
It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
being placed in the bss.

Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist
routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL.

The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:

 gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)

But not on several other systems, by luck.

Quoting Ingo:

"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."

Stephane Eranian 299c345208 perf buildid-list: Work better with pipe mode
In order for perf buildid-list to work with pipe-mode files, it needs to
process buildids and event attr structs.

$ perf record -o - noploop 2 | ./perf inject -b | perf buildid-list -i - -H
noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.084 MB - (~3678 samples) ]
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [kernel.kallsyms]
3a0d0629efe74a8da3eeba372cdbd74ad9b8f5d5 /usr/local/bin/noploop

The reason [kernel.kallsyms] shows a 0 build-id comes from the
way buildids are injected in the stream.

The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The
[kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and
obvious way to link the two, unfortunately.

In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF
image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it.
Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will
already have a dso for it.

So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for
everything but the kernel image.

Stephane Eranian 444d286639 perf tools: Fix piped mode read code
In __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read
more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in
case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not
know about and which are larger than anything it knows about.

In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but
in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored.  The fixed size header
contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union
perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in:

  union perf_event event;
  void *p;

  size = event->header.size;

  p = &event;
  p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header);
  if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) {
    err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header));

We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the
header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it
becomes too small. In the  common case, the performance impact is
negligible.

Stephane Eranian 1a1ed1ba67 perf inject: Fix broken perf inject -b
perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the
stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream.

The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute
structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple
repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures
to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id
lookups to fail, and sample would get removed.

The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to
initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.

Jiri Olsa e108c66e2c perf tools: Carry perf_event_attr bitfield throught different endians
When the perf data file is read cross architectures, the
perf_event__attr_swap function takes care about endianness of all the
struct fields except the bitfield flags.

The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield
binary storage differs for both endians.

ABI says:
  Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant)
  on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least
  significant) on big-endian implementations.

The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of
the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific
and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags
in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
  - target system:
    # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
     --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
  - complete perf.data header is displayed

Jiri Olsa 6b5fc39bdd perf tools: Add hardcoded name term for pmu events
Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the
pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no
'name' term is given, the event name follows following template:

    "raw 0x<perf_event_attr::config>"

running:
    perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls

will produce following output:
    ...
    Performance counter stats for 'ls':
                 0 krava1
    ...

running:
    perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls

will produce following output:
    ...
    Performance counter stats for 'ls':
                 0 raw 0x1
    ...

Jiri Olsa 08d2f762ac perf tools: Separate 'mem:' event scanner bits
Separating 'mem:' scanner processing, so we can parse out modifier
specifically and dont clash with other rules.

This is just precaution for the future, so we dont need to worry about
the rules clashing where we need to parse out any sub-rule of global
rules.
